Example|Batch File|
-------------------
A sample door batch file is included in the ZIP file. On my BBS this
file is called CHECKERS and does the following:
.
ECHO OFF
CD\DOORS\CHECKERS <=- Switch to my doors Directory.
CHECKERS CHECKERS.CNF <=- Execute the door program and pass the
configuration filename to the program.
CD\PCB <=- Go back to PCB DIR when user exits door.
BOARD <=- Restart BBS.
.
NOTE: You must have a separate configuration file for each node. Although
all files are opened in Shared mode, DOS still balks when two nodes open
the CHECKERS.CNF file at the same time.
.
The file BRUN45.EXE (DTR patched) must be in the same directory as
this door or accessible via the DOS PATH command.
|High Score Bulletin|
-------------------
.
REAL-TIME CHECKERS maintains a Bulletin of game winners in a file called
SCORES.TXT. The Bulletin keeps a record of total games won and ranks the
player from Beginner to Grand Master depending on number of games won.
