If you are upgrading from a version of EchoDor prior to v3.04 you must
do the following to use this version:
1. Edit the file DoorDriv.Ctl to meet your needs. This file must be in
the default directory when you start EchoDor.
If you specify a BBSPATH parameter in the DoorDriv.Ctl file to point to
your BBS directory, you can eliminate the COPY of the BBS control file
(DORINFOx.DEF, CALLINFO.BBS, ...etc) to the default directory.
If you run a conversion program for locked baud rates, specify the BAUD
parameter in the DoorDriv.Ctl file and don't run the conversion program.
If you run a conversion program to fix the color problem with QuickBBS,
set the BBSTYPE to Quick. Then you should be able to eliminate the
conversion program.
2. If you have modified the menus or help screens, you must rename the
files as follows:
a. If the file is a plain text file, don't rename it.
b. If the file is a graphics file (file name ends in G):
rename the file from "nameG" to "name.ASC".
c. If the file is an ANSI color file (file name ends in C):
rename the file from "nameC" to "name.ANS".
3. You can delete the CONFIG.DOR file.
4. If you ran a prior version of EchoDor without specifying a node number:
Echodor # <-- you didn't specify a node number here
You must alter your batch file to include a node number. If your only
running a single copy of your BBS or you control the separate nodes by
using different directories use a 1. In your batch file:
EchoDor 1
If you don't do this 3.04 or later will not operate correctly.
