Installation Guide ░
──────────────────
If you are upgrading from v0.01, simply overwrite the old files
with the ones in this archive, then run 001TO002.EXE to upgrade the
DCTLIST.DAT file. After that, delete DCTLIST.CFG and run CONFIG.EXE
to re-configure DCTList (there were too many changes made to make an
upgrade program for the configuration file).
Installation is very fast and easy. First of all you must create a
directory for DCTList to reside in and then run CONFIG.EXE to configure
it to your system. You may also wish to edit DCTLIST.FLT if you will
be using the profanity filter. DCTList does not have to be run from
the directory it resides in, as it automatically looks for all of its
files in the directory its home directory. Have your BBS call DCTList
via a command-line similar to "C:\DOORS\DCTLIST\DCTLIST.EXE /PC:\BBS".
The "/P" parameter is only required if the drop file will not be in the
current directory when DCTList is run. If your BBS supports memory-
swapping, it would be a good idea to do so (if you don't, there may not
░ be enough memory to shell out to the external transfer protocols).

Things to look forward to ░
─────────────────────────
DCTList is very new and is still in its developmental stages, so
some features you will see listed in CONFIG.EXE may not work yet. I
plan to have these options completed in the next version. Most of
the features that I add to this door are requests made by SysOps, so
if you would like to see a new feature added to this door, by all
means send me e-mail and I will try to add in your request. I can
be reached at dan.traczynski@als.dudd.uniserve.com.
The user logging feature will be completed in the next version as
well as the BBS database editor in CONFIG.EXE (for now you will have
░ to edit the BBS from the door).

History ░
───────
v0.02ß - May 22, 1996.
-Fixed a bug in IMPORT.EXE if a DCTList.Dat already existed (it would exit
with a runtime error because of a stupid typo I made).
-Added the full-screen chat mode.
-If a user was entering the message nets that the BBS was part of and hit
ESC, the "Enter nets this BBS is part of" prompt wasn't being removed before
the "Abort? Y/N" prompt was displayed over it.
-The opening screen can now be disabled. It can be toggled from the general
configuration menu in CONFIG.EXE
-The colours may now be configured.
-DCTList now sorts the BBSs into alphabetical order.
-DCTList now converts BBS names and other fields into proper case (but words
like 'BBS' are not converted to 'Bbs').
-Added Alt-J: Jump to DOS.
-Users may now edit and delete BBSs that they created.
-Finished off the automatic BBS deletion feature.
-Added CONFIG.EXE (no more messy text configuration files).

protocol.
