1.   QUICK START

     A. A Quick DROP to DOS Implementation

        For the easiest  quick start  run the INSTALL  program.   It
        will set up the HOST for remote access automatically.

        If you are  using a bulletin  board program or another  host
        program then set  up your HOST to  call a batch  file.   The
        HOST can be almost any communications program set up in HOST
        mode, or a full blown BBS program set up for remote (see its
        documentation on how to implement host or remote mode).  Use
        the following line for the batch file it calls:

        DOORWAY COM1 /S:* /G:ON /V:B /M:1000 /B:MSZ /C:DOS

        This line tells DOORWAY to redirect to COM1, not to look for
        any user specific files (/S:*), turn on graphics (and cursor
        control)(/G:ON),  use BIOS redirection but allow remote user
        to switch to  DIRECT SCREEN mode  with a control "U",  allow
        the  user  1000  minutes  in  DOS  (/M:1000),  and  to  load
        COMMAND.COM and shell to DOS (/C:DOS).

        The /B:MSZ deals with the bottom line, and for best results,
        one or more of the letters after  the colon may be left out.
        Results will depend on the remote communication package, and
        whether it is set up for 24 line (with a status  line) mode,
        or 25 line mode. See the section  on the /B: switch for more
        information.  Remove  this switch entirely if  you are using
        the included DWCOMM.

     B. A Quick DOORS Implementation

        A quick start on  a DOOR for a bulletin board  system can be
        a little more complicated.  One of the following may be used
        to implement a DOOR:

        i.   For PCBOARD or a system which generates the PCBOARD.SYS
             file  and does  NOT use direct screen writes  (does not
             write directly to screen RAM):

             DOORWAY COM1 /S:C:\PCB /B:MZ /P:PROGRAM.EXT

        ii.  For same as above but DOES use direct screen writes:

             DOORWAY COM1 /S:C:\PCB /B:MZ /V:D /P:PROGRAM.EXT

        iii. For a system which generates DOOR.SYS file and does NOT
             use direct screen writes:

             DOORWAY SYS /B:MZ /P:PROGRAM.EXT

        iv.  For  a system which generates  a DOOR.SYS file and uses
             direct screen writes:

             DOORWAY SYS /B:MZ /V:D /P:PROGRAM.EXT


        See section 3 for details on batch file 'switches'.

   The PROGRAM.EXT is  the name of the  program to put in  a "DOOR".
   The extension MUST be given, and  any parameters to be passed  to
   it must follow  the filename on the command line.  If the program
   is in a different subdirectory  than the presently logged  drive,
   then the program should be preceded by the path to the program to
   be executed.  Also  if the program  is going to  look in its  own
   subdirectory for any of  its files, you may need to  put a /CD on
   the  command  line to  tell  DOORWAY  to log  into  the program's
   subdirectory before shelling it.

   If the  program requires  cursor positioning,  and/or colors  for
   proper operation a "/G:ON" needs to be added in front of the  /P:
   switch to force graphics on if in BIOS mode.

   If line feeds  are being missed in  BIOS mode, then either  add a
   /L:, use ANSI.COM from PC  MAGAZINE utilities, or use ANSIPAT.EXE
   on your ANSI.SYS.
