MegaDOOR Setup Program This program allows you to setup MegaDOOR. The menu is accessed by pressing Alt-Space. All the other menus are accessed by pressing Alt-Z, where Z is the first letter of the menu. For example, the "File" menu is pulled down by Alt-F. Context sensitive help is available in all menus by pressing F1. If you do not understand an option, press F1 at any time and hopefully what you find there will do the job. To move around with the keyboard inside of a dialog box you must use the TAB key. If it seems that you can not type in a field, press the delete key to remove the current contents. ) Press ESC to put this help screen away.

Lockspeed If you would like to lock your comm port (usually done with high speed modems) enter the locked comm port speed here. If you do not want a locked comm port set this to 0. Forced COM Port Some BBS software does not pass the correct COM port to MegaDOOR in DOOR.SYS or DORINFO.DEF. If this is the case with your software then you must set this to the COM port that you are using. Forced IRQ If you need your IRQ set differently than the default you may set it here. This applies only to the internal comm routines. If you are using the fossil it has a different method of IRQ setup.

Network If you are running a network and would like to use MegaDOOR's advanced network options then set this to Yes. If you use this option then you must complete an entry for each BBS node in the Network Node submenus. MegaDOOR command line parameters also will change with this option. New parameters will be: MEGADOOR # [local] # specifies the node number MegaDOOR is being loaded as. LOCAL may be added as a second parameter if you would like a local logon. It is optional and thus is shown in brackets. Clear Screens Specifies the frequency of clearscreen codes that MegaDOOR will send out to the user. Low means that MegaDOOR will almost never use the clearscreen command. In medium MegaDOOR will try to keep information on the screen as much as possible, while minimizing scrolling. High means that MegaDOOR clears the screen every chance it gets. K Limit DOOR.SYS files have the capability to transfer daily download limits to and from the BBS. If you use these limits with a very DOOR.SYS compatible BBS you should turn this on. MegaDOOR will abide by the limits set in DOOR.SYS. Hangup Timeout If you would like MegaDOOR to drop carrier on users that time out mark this selection to Yes. Some sysops prefer that users are given more time to respond. Also note the inactive timeout option below. Minimum access level The minimum user access level required to use MegaDOOR. If the user has a lesser access the message 'MEGADOOR: Access not allowed!' will be sent to the user and MegaDOOR will exit. Minimum dload level This specifies the minimum level that a user must have to be able to download files from MegaDOOR. Use this to allow users to view files but not download them. May be good for a few BBS donations! Minimum zipview level If you want your users to be able to look around in MegaDOOR, but not actually use it then set this level to your "full user" access. If a user has a lower level than this he/she may not view or read archived files. Inactive Timeout The number of seconds that MegaDOOR will wait between keypresses before sending the user back to the BBS. If the user does not hit a key in this time he will not be hung up on, but MegaDOOR will exit to the BBS. Sysop level The level that a user is assumed to have during a local logon. Local download path Path to store files during local downloads.

None of the currently supported BBS packages provides this information to MegaDOOR. If you would like to use ratios you must turn K Limits on in Standard Other and setup an EXITINFO file in Standard Paths or Network Node. To set up a ratio, put in the minimum level for that ratio.

OTHER Protocol HELP Internal Ratios External OTHER MENU HELP File MSETUP Read/Write setup and Exit Standard General setup options Restrictions CD-ROM area security setup Network Network/Desqview setup Protocol File transfer setup Protocol External You may add up to six external protocols to MegaDOOR. Be aware that MegaDOOR may not handle download ratios correctly with external protocols. All external protocols are assumed to be multifile, and the sysop must provide a MegaDOOR compatible batch file to execute the protocol. Protocol name The name, as displayed to the user, of the external protocol. Protocol batch file The name of a batch file to execute when this protocol is selected. MegaDOOR passes x parameters on the batch file command line. They are: %1 COM port %2 Baud rate (a locked baud rate is passed when used) %3 Full path to a file containing the filenames to be sent. %4 The current node number (0 on non network/desqview systems) Protocol output log If your protocol outputs a log file or can be forced to do so, you may specify the filename here. The log file MUST be in the NODE%4 (where %4 is the node number passed from MEGADOOR) subdirectory of the MEGADOOR directory. If your protocol does not support a log file then do not specify any filename. MegaDOOR requires a log for file ratio support. Command letter The letter the user will use on the protocol menu to select this protocol. Log pos If you are using a log file then MegaDOOR needs to know the position in the log for the "Ok" character. In DSZ's log file, DSZ will put a Z or z in position 1 after a sucessful Zmodem transfer. Find out where this character is and input it here. MegaDOOR will not caculate download stats if this is left blank or zero. Log ok If you are using a log file then MegaDOOR needs to know which characters in it constitute an acceptable or completed download. MegaDOOR will look at the character at LogPos and if a match with Log ok is found the transfer is considered complete. You may enter up to ten characters that represent transfer success.
