Welcome to The "SprAY IT! Door" By James Syriac < Copyright (C) 1996 >
If Registered:
Allows The Sysop to configure How many messages per Day a User can
write. Allows Sysop to Set Security Levels in the Door. And the Sysop
Can give Credit to a user for helping register...
SprAYIT.ctl < Control File Created by the door > DO NOT DELETE!
Wallcfg.dat < Configuration data for SprAY IT! created by the door >
Wall.msg < Stores the user's messages in text form >
Wall_usr.dat < Keeps Track of the Users information >
Badword.dat < Text file Sysop can create listing Bad Words >
Badwall.txt < Text file for Sysop to see what a user wrote when a badword
was written. (Sysop Lists badwords in badword.dat) >
Reg.dat < Text file created by the sysop only if the BBS uses a name
other than SYSOP for the sysop in the door >
Note: The Main menu shows 2 options to the Sysop that are not seen by the
other users, U for update user and C for configure.
These options might not be shown to even the Sysop if their BBS uses
a name other than "Sysop" for them in doors such as their handle or
real name! In that case create a text file called reg.dat with
two lines, The Sysop name as in the registration and the Registration
number! ... The door should then give them access to configure and
update users... Place the reg.dat in the doors directory!
SprAY IT! uses security levels to keep the wall clean. The door has defaults
set but the Sysop can modify the levels as he/she wishes (if registered). The
Sysop can create a badword.dat in the doors directory which will be used to
keep messages clean by stripping out any word that is matched to a word in
the list, but first writes the message to a file called badwall.txt.
In the door the users would only see #### placed where the letters would have
been for the badword that was stripped! The door can drop the users security
level (in door only) to a preset level preventing the user from writing
any more messages until the Sysop raises his/her level again! (If registered)
Wallcfg.dat:
Created by SprAY IT!
File is created useing the C Option for configure in the main menu...
Until Registered the Sysop can only edit the BBS Name, Sysop Name,
and Reg number areas. which will only take affect if the Sysop name and
Reg number Calculations are right!
The Sysop can set a default security for new users or have the door match the
security level to what they have on the BBS useing the (D) setting (Assuming
door.sys is used)...
Number of messages can be set from 1 to 9 per day per user...
Security levels can be set from 10 to 254...
BadWord.dat:
Created By Sysop
The Sysop can make up a list of words he/she doesn't want used in the door.
useing a text editor (non formating) like dos edit, he/she can type:
one word per line,
min 3 characters,
that he/she wants to avoid users seeing in the door.
BadWall.txt:
Created by SprAY IT!
The Sysop can read this file with dos edit to see if and when a user had
written something that was in the badword.dat file...
It can be deleted after reading if the sysop is done with it!
Wall_usr.dat:
Created by SprAY IT!
Keeps track of the users info, The Sysop can Update the users info with the
U option in the main menu...
ReRoll the Door by Deleting the wall.msg .....
Wall.msg:
Created by SprAY IT!
Stores the messages written along with message number and name of author!
Can be edited with a text editor like dos edit. but Be very careful to
only delete sets... 3 lines per message... first line is the author, 2nd line
is the message number, 3rd line is the message! in other words the message
file must begin with an:
Author on the first line and end with a Message as the last line!
This file would be edited normaly only to keep down the size of the file.
I'd recommend cutting out the beginning of the file to leave only the most
recent messages when the sysop feels it should be done...
Message numbers can run up to 999999, But I would recommend deleteing the
message file to start a fresh on before that! <G>
Reg.dat:
Created by the Sysop
Used only if the BBS is useing something other than SYSOP for the sysops name
in the door. Unless Sysop is used as the sysop's name the door will not give
access to the U and C options... In that case with the Registration number
and the Sysop's Name the reg.dat will be used to give the sysop access to
those functions, primarily to configure the door. once the Sysop's name and
Reg number are in the cfg file the door will recognized the sysop as sysop
when the name and reg match up! Then the Reg.dat is no longer needed...
To create a Reg.dat, use dos edit, and type the Sysop name as it was used
for registration on the first line, press enter, then type the Registration
number and press enter! this will allow the door to confirm registration and
know what the sysop's name is for sysop access!
(example):
John Doe
01234
Be sure you don't leave any spaces before or after these items!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Install SprAY IT!:
Copy the SprAYIT.exe to its own directory.
If Registered Use the SprAY IT! door to configure and enter the registration
Information.
SprAY IT! will create all it's own files needed for the door as it runs!
SprAY IT! setup:
Example:
SprAYIT d:\gap\door.sys
BBS file ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
With Fossil Driver:
SprAYIT d:\gap\door.sys PORT:F:1
BBS file ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
PORT:F:1 <---- F= Fossil, PORT 1
Note: Fossil driver may be needed if your modem has a problem with the Ansi
Screens Drawing real slow... Slower than Normal!
Note: Digiboard users can use PORT:D:1 D= Digiboard, Channel 1
Note: NonStandard Ports use PORT:ADDRESS_in_hex:IRQ
EXAMPLE: PORT:03F8:5
Bat file should: change directory to the SprAY IT! door directory.
execute SprAYIT.exe (add Path to DOOR.SYS on the same line)
If SprAY IT! is used as a logon door, I recommend useing the /L switch in the
logon.bat file at the endof the line starting the door. This will cause the
door to add a welcome message from the bbs and requests the user join in the
door!
Example: SprAYIT d:\gap\door.sys PORT:F:1 /L
Use the /L only in the logon bat and leave it out for the door area bat file!
Note: SprAY IT! was written for Gap and Door.sys and is the
Most likely Door info file to be reliable...
I Recommend Converting to Door.sys if your BBS
doesn't generate Door.sys
(Example of batch file to call door):
c:
cd\BBS\sprayit
sprayit d:\gap\door.sys
cd\BBS
etc...
BBS types other than GAP may be able to use their own Sys file
instead of Door.sys. Try using it if you want.
I only have been able to test it on Gap BBS's.
Note: DorinfoX.def doesn't read correctly >>> convert to Door.sys!
It should work with DOOR.SYS and with most conversion programs to Door.sys!
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE PATH RIGHT! (whole path to the door.sys)
<THE CFG FILE> Can only be made within the door...
Except for the Boardname, Sysop name, and reg number, Until registered, Can
not be edited, once registered can be edited within the door with the C
option that only the sysop can access!
If the BBS uses a name other than sysop for the sysop, the C option can only
be accessed using the reg.dat file with the sysop name and the registration
number! See Reg.dat info above!
Register: See Register.doc for more info...
For the Registration Send ($15 Donation suggested) to: James Syriac
138 Dennison CrossRoad
(Please use Registration form in Register.doc) Southbridge Ma. 01550
Include a list stating EXACTLY how you want the Sysop Name and BBS Name.
-------
I recommend The Sysop name match exactly as the the BBS shows it to you so
the door can match it up when the Sysop is in the door to the reg file!
The exit screen will show Registered to (Sysop Name) of (BBS Name).
Send any Questions or Comments to same address!
Note: The door will handle LOST CARRIER and DUMP USER (Sysop Option) and
return to the BBS. Also will return to BBS if a key is not detected in
so many minutes. (About 5 minutes!) Sounds beeps as a warning...
For instructions press I in the Door!
Thanks for your interest in SprAY IT!
Best Place to look for newest Releases is: The Parrots Den BBS

Support BBS >>> Southbridge, MA.
PcBoard may use PcBoard.sys if it runs correctly but I Recommend Door.sys
Note: Beep warning will not be heard with PcBoard.sys
WWIV <Oh Well> I Recommend You convert Chain.txt to Door.sys with DM521.
It's Door Master and can convert to door.sys using the Alias!
There is newer Versions of DoorMaster.. they should work also.
DM521.ZIP or newer versions can be found on The Support BBS above!
