NewBooth 1.27 Copyright 1992-94 Keith N. Cochran
NewBooth is a door which is part of the Voter Plus Voting Door System.
It is meant to be run as a login type door, and when run, will notify
the caller if a new voting booth has been created and optionally whether
any booths have been modified since their last call date/time.
Also optionally, the caller may directly enter the Voter Plus Door and
vote on any new booths.
NewBooth 1.27 will only work with versions of Voter Plus 1.93 and later.
Installing NewBooth:
-[ Step 1 ]-----------------------------
Create a door batch file for NewBooth
@echo off
cd \newbooth
NEWBOOTH.EXE NEWBOOTH.CNF C:\PCB C:\VOTE\VOTER.CNF
cd \pcb ──────────── ─────- ────────────────-
│ │ └── PATH and NAME of VOTER.CNF file
│ │
│ └─────── Location ONLY for this node's
│ door information file.
└─ Config file name
The following is optional and works with line 8 in NEWBOOTH.CNF
If the caller answers Yes as to whether they wish to vote now,
NewBooth will return an ERRORLEVEL of 1. The "set VPLUSCMD=N"
statement will activate the "Auto-Vote" option in the Voter Plus
door and will take the caller directly to the Voting process.
Be sure to set the VPLUSCMD environment back to "" afterwards
with the "SET VPLUSCMD=" statement.
Be advised that if the door batch file that calls NewBooth is a PCB
shell type door, that there may be insufficient memory available to
run the Voter Plus program. It works fine here in a 565k DV window.
{Call NewBooth as shown above}
if errorlevel == 1 goto VOTE
goto jump
:VOTE
J:
cd \pcb1\door\provote
set VPLUSCMD=N
voter voter.cnf D:\pcb1
SET VPLUSCMD=
:JUMP
{Continue on with rest of login batch file}
Tell your BBS you have installed NewBooth.
