Sysop Docs for DreamORDER
IMPORTANT!!! When you are prompted for information, hitting [ENTER]
keeps the current info!
Hitting 'Q' and/or 'X' will exit you from any menu.
The 'X' feature is not shown in the menus, and some
menus have 'Q' used for another selection, this is
where you should use 'X'.
The above two features are NOT documented in the door.
Remember them!
Also, you must have SHARE.EXE installed to run this
door as multi-line! ORDER.EXE and ORDER.OVR are set
to read-only, and must stay that way to run as multi-node.
If the door ever seems to lock up while waiting to access
a record, delete BUSY.$$$ from the DATA directory and the
problem will be taken care of. (Though this should never
happen (in theory <g>)).
Directories: There are FOUR permanant directories.
Dir : Contains
DATA : *.DAT, ORDER.FRM, HEADER.CAT, and when the sysop creates
the catalog, it is put in here.
DOC : *.DOC, *.TXT
SCREENS : *.ANS, *.ASC (All changable screens)
ORDERS : Orders that are created are put in here as ?.ORD (where
? is the invoice #.. ie: 1.ORD, 332.ORD, up to 99999999.ORD
Temporary directories will be created from time to time, this is to
handle the multi-node capabilities. The directories are then deleted
when they are no longer used.
Editable screens:
HELP.TXT : Online User Helpfile.
INFO.ANS/ASC : Shown after the internal welcome screen.
Good place to put your company info.
NEWUSER.ANS : Show to first time users as the enter the
door, before they are sent into the user
info editing menu.
ORDERED.ANS/ASC : Shown after the user processes his/her
order.
NOTE: ALL *.ASC and *.ANS screen must be 22 lines or less due to
the pause that is activated after the screen is shown.
If you have an orderform you'd like included when a user downloads
the catalog, place it in the DATA directory under the name ORDER.FRM.
Also, in the DATA dir, place HEADER.CAT, which is the header used for
the catalog. This is a good place to put your company name, 800 numbers,
orderlines, fax #, etc.. and to tell them a little about your company
and services.
First, when you or a user (hereafter referred to as 'you') enter the
door, you first get the internal DreamORDER screen. Then you are
shown INFO.ANS/ASC.
If you are a new user, you're shown the new_user screen and taken
to the user info editing section.
THEN you get the Main Menu...
Main Menu: You get this screen (Non-sysop users will not get the
Sysop Menu block at the bottom.
