ADDALine
Version 0.1
Copyright 1993 Edge Ware
Programmed by Joe Germann (FidoNet 1:272/47)
WHAT IS IT?
───────────
ADDALine is a Oneliner door written for Remote Access. I always
liked the oneliner screens that some other BBS packages are able
to produce, And not being able to find a suitable reproduction of
this type of door, I decided to write my own version of one, Hence
ADDALine.

INSTALLATION
────────────
You must make a directory and unzip the ADDALINE archive into it.
The 5 file described above should all be present.
Then type
ADDALINE DORINFO1.DEF
3 files will be created the 1st is called ADDALINE.DAT which is a
ASCII file of the oneliners which is editable with and ASCII editor
such as Dos EDIT or can be edited by the SysOp while online..
The 2 other files are ADDALINE.ANS and ADDALINE.ASC the screens
ADDALINE create..
ADDALINE can work with the following Door drop files
DORINFO#.DEF
DOOR.SYS
CALLINFO.BBS
SFDOOR.DAT
CHAIN.TXT
INFO.BBS
PCBOARD.SYS
There are a few ways you can use ADDALine I will show you the way
I have it setup on my system.. I have added 2 menus to my list one
is called ADDALIN1 and the other is ADDALIN2. ADDALIN1 is called
from my TOP menu.
The TOP menu looks like this..
╒═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ C:\RA\MENUS\TOP.MNU ╕
│ │***│ Execute │ *c *m /c c:\doors\urd\urd.exe │
│ │ │ Execute │ *c *m *! /c \ra\radd.bat *n │
│ │ │ Post msg │ 2 /t=Joe_Germann /l │
│ │ │ Goto menu │ ADDALIN1 │
│ │
│ │
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ADDALIN1 menu looks like this.. With a Prompt that reads
Wanna ADDAline (y/N)
╒════════════════════════════════════════════════════ C:\RA\MENUS\ADDALIN1.MNU ╕
│ │ │ Display-H │ ADDALINE │
│ │'N'│ Goto menu │ TOP1 │
│ │'Y'│ Goto menu │ ADDALIN2 │
│ │' '│ Goto menu │ top1 │
│ ^ │
│ CTRL P "ENTER" │
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ADDALIN2 menu looks like this..
╒════════════════════════════════════════════════════ C:\RA\MENUS\ADDALIN2.MNU ╕
│ │***│ Execute │ *c *M /c \ra\ONELINER.BAT *n │
│ │***│ Goto menu │ TOP1 │
│ │
│ │
│ │
It is very effective this way it runs right after the news screen
is displayed. You can also run it from a Questionaire which would
also be an easy way to set it up.
Batchfiles
A batchfile for a single node system would be
ONELINER.BAT

The batchfile for a multinode system is
ONELINER.BAT
@echo off
If %1~==~goto end
