CMDLINE.DOC
If you needed to specify a non-standard port address and IRQ, then the
syntax is PORT:AAAA:X where AAAA is the base address and X is the IRQ.
PORT:AAAA:X *MUST* be the fourth parameter passed on the command line.
EVDoor will assume COM1 = 03F8 IRQ 4, COM2 = 02E8 IRQ3, COM3 = 03E8
IRQ4 and COM4 = 02E8 IRQ 3. If the sysop had a different non-standard
port address and irq, he could then use the PORT cmd to change the
defaults. Below is some examples of how your program would/could be
called up Notice PORT is always the third argument to be passed if you
wanted to use it.
EVDoor will also support the use of FOSSIL drivers. The syntax for a
FOSSIL driver is: PORT:F:P. The 'F' tells EVDoor to use a Fossil driver
for it's communications. The 'P' following it tells it which port to
use for the Fossil. Example - PORT:F:1, tells Ckit to use a fossil
driver for port 1.
EVDoor's cmd line could be any one of the following:
EVDOOR c:\pcb\pcboard.sys c:\pcb\main\users evdoor.dat
Using non-standard port
EVDOOR c:\pcb\pcboard.sys c:\pcb\main\users evdoor.dat PORT:03E8:5
Using a fossil driver on port 1
EVDOOR c:\pcb\pcboard.sys c:\pcb\main\users evdoor.dat PORT:F:1
Troubleshooting
EVDOOR c:\pcb\pcboard.sys c:\pcb\main\users evdoor.dat DEBUG
DEBUG *must* be the last command on the command line no matter
which one of the above examples you may use. DEBUG will write
to EVDERROR.LOG. Turning DEBUG on WILL slow EVDoor down!! Send
your EVDERROR.LOG to The Eagle's Nest II BBS, Support BBS for
EVDoor, were we can assist you in troubleshooting your problems.
