With that out of the way, welcome to Pass it On SysOp Docs. Lets
make this as short and pointless as possible!
**************************************************************************
* This version of Pass it On will support Multinode and locked ports
up to Infinity. Pass it on is MultiTasker aware and will AutoDetect
fossil drivers or run on internal comm routines! Will support Avatar/0+
Multitasker Aware/DeskView Virtual Screen support! Supports ALL comm
ports and IRQ's 1-15.
*************************************************************************
1. Un-Arc the PASSIT15.ZIP file into it's own sub-directory. The name of the
sub-directory is unimportant.
2. The following files will be un-arched.
PASSITON.EXE ------> The Main program
TITLEG.ANS ------> Ansi Welcome screen
TITLEG.ASC ------> ASCII Welcome screen
HELPG.ANS ------> Ansi Player Instructions
HELPG.ASC ------> ASCII PLAYER Instructions
DATAFILE.DAT ------> Needed Data File
PREVIOUS.DAT ------> Needed Data File
SYSOP.DOC ------> Yes, this is it.
SETUP.DAT ------> Needed to configure Pass it On
INSTALL.EXE ------> Pass it On Installation Program
WHATS.NEW ------> Whats new for version 1.4
*.BSV ------> Help screens for INSTALL program
3. Run INSTALL.EXE and answer the questions. This program will write a
PASSITON.CFG file. Once this is complete you are ready to go! The Install
program comes with it's own help screens incase you have any questions.
. Running the INSTALL program:
Option A. Enter the door game you are seting up from the menu.
Option B. Enter the Sysop's First Name. Note that the First name should
be entered here exactly the same way as in the Registation Door on my
BBS.
Option C. Enter Sysop's Last name. Again, the last name entered should
be exactly the same as in the Registration door on my BBS.
Option D. This option enables the Zmodem download feature in Terra-Firma
and the Who-Dunit door games due to the size of their respective player
docs. It is not used in The pass it on because there are no player docs!
Option E. Enter your Registration here. You can register by check or
credit card.
Option F. pass it on will run on any Comm Port but if you have set up
a standard comm port with a NON-standard IRQ number you must enter that
number here. If you don't understand this option or have never messed
with your IRQ comm Port settings, just leave this as 0.
Option G. You can enter any time limit between 10 and 90 minutes. If the
users BBS time left is lower than the ammount specified in the INSTALL
program, then pass it on will use the lower BBS time.
Once you have entered eveything to your satisfaction enter Q to save.
You will be asked if you are running a Novell LAN. If not just answer NO.
You have just created the PASSIT?.CFG file. You can then play the pass it on
in Local mode by typing passiton LOCAL
If you have any problems while in the install program it comes
with a complete help guide built in..
Pass It On can read BBS DROP files from the following BBS's.
QuickBBS, Remote Access, RBBS, SuperBBS, Telegard, WildCat 3, PcBoard
(latest), GAP, WildCat BBS, Genesis, SpitFire, WWIV, Osiris, MAXIMUS,
FORCE! and other BBS software that uses a compatible format with one
mentioned above.
Door Drop Files:
CALLINFO.BBS
DORINFO?.DEF
SFDOOR.DAT
INFO.BBS
DOOR.SYS
CHAIN.TXT
PCBOARD.DAT
If your BBS does not write one of these files you will have to use a door
patch program of some type. If you are at a loss my BBS has several fine
Shareware programs of this nature for downloading.
4. Pass it on takes care of it's own data files. It does not require a
nightly cycle program.
5. Set up your batch file to call PASSITON. You need one line to run the
program. My bat file follows.
PASSITON.BAT ------> Name of Bat file
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CD\BBS\passiton -----------------> Change to your directory of pass it
on
passiton PASSIT1.CFG -----------------> Call pass it on with the PASSIT?.CFG
file written by the INSTALL program
on the command line
CD\BBS -----------------> Whatever it takes to get back into
your BBS.
All you need to do is call the program and the PASSIT?.CFG file
together on the same line and you're set!
pass it on will run locally with a default name of SysOp, if NO
.CFG file is specified on the command line. Just type passiton LOCAL
The following Keys are available to the SysOp while a user is on line.
Alt H = Hangs Up
Alt R or X = Returns to the BBS without hanging up
Alt C = Enters Chat Mode
Alt J = Jumps to DOS (Dos Shell)
If you can't get pass it on running please check your spelling
and path information in your BATCH file. my games are running all over the
world without problems. Most calls I receive for help end up being spelling
mistakes or bad path commands. Recheck everything carefully before wasting
your hard earned cash calling me. Don't let this last paragraph give you
the wrong impression I am glad to help.....I also monitor the DOORWARE echo
and DOORGAMES in FidoNet.
Multitasking or Lan info:
I have tested pass it on under Desk View and Windows for Multi-
taskers. Pass it on has also been tested running under Novel and LanTastic.
As long as you load DOS Share.exe you should have no problems. All games
should be run from the same directory. You can enter the path information
for each nodes bbs drop file from the INSTALL program, so configuring Pass it
for multinode play is simple. The INSTALL program will write a PASSIT1.CFG or
PASSIT2.CFG or any node number up to 15 that you specify in the Install
program. You just need to specify which .CFG file on the command line when
you call up passiton.EXE for each node.
This version of Pass it on comes with a program called ROLLOVER
which will let registered sysops input the first sentence of Pass it on
instead of just the 11th player in the game.
Have fun! If you need any assistance I can be reached on my bbs,
N.U.G.I., where the latest BUSTED, Who-Dunit, Enquirer, Terra-Firma and The
Hacker program versions can be found. (413)-443-8788. I monitor DOORWARE
DOORGAMES and the DDS echo in FiDoNet.
