The most common error that you will see is #62. This is usually caused
by the CFG file not having enough lines. I have included this list so
that you may be able to fix a problem that occurs with a PAROLE Software
door.
ON SCREEN GARBAGE:
If you wish to view the screens locally, you must have an ANSI
driver loaded in your CONFIG.SYS. Read your DOS manual for
instructions on setting up ANSI.SYS. Do not call me and ask, I will
tell you to read your manual.
If you are operating under DESQview, you will need to load DVANSI in
*EACH* window.
486DX CPU's
-----------
The math coprocessor in 486DX CPUs cannot handle floating point math which
all MicroSoft Basic's use. This can show up as an ERROR 5, a keyboard
timeout, etc.
Fortunately there is an easy fix for this problem. Simply place the following
line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
SET NO87=ON
This will inform DoorFrame to use a different timing routine. If you are
operating under DESQview/X, you must flag the MATH COPROCESSOR as being ON.
If the door seems to operate fine on the BBS end but the remote cannot
receive or receives garbled info, check and make sure you are passing the
correct IRQ to the door. Com 1 and 2 are standard and as such, you do
not need to pass the IRQ to them.
Error #75 is usually an incorrect path and/or filename in the CFG file.
Please check the filenames and paths in your CFG file(s). They *MUST* be
correct in order for the door to operate.
Unless you are using a Digi-board and need a fossil driver, DO NOT use
the "/FD" switch on the command line. The doors do not need a fossil
driver to operate on serial ports.
If you are operating under Wildcat! 4.x, you will need to specify
DOOR.SYS on line #1 of the CFG file. WC!4 no longer creates or supports
USERINFO.DAT.
WC!4.x Create a file named "WILDCAT.4" and place it in the door
directory. This will enable the door to write to the correct activity
log file. This is NOT requires for the door to operate. If you don't
mind the old-style activity log, ignore this.
If you are running WC! 4.x, you should specify SMALL DOOR.SYS in the
Makewild setup for ALL PAROLE Software doors.
If you have entered your serial number and the door still shows
"UNREGISTERED", check your BBS spelling. It *MUST* be spelled exactly
as it was registered. Case does not matter.
How to create a "0" byte file:
1.) From the dos prompt type "COPY CON <filename>"
2.) Press Enter
3.) Press <F6>
4.) Press Enter.
This, for some reason, does not work on all systems.
NOTE: If you have not run the INSTALL.BAT on a new installation, please
do not call me for support. I include this batch file for a
reason, to install the door properly.
