║ GT-HELP ║ GTDOORS.BBS - the Door Menu as seen by your callers.
╚═════════╩════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

    The GTDOORS.BBS file lists the available doors as seen by callers.

    It is pure text and can be prepared in any format.  The simplest format
    just lists the door numbers and purpose, for example :

        <1>     Change your Password
        <2>     Chess
        <3>     Scrabble
        <4>
                ... etc.

    As the layout of the list has no significance to GT, it could equally
    well be presented as a double column.

    A .CBS version of this file can also be created.  If it exists, ANSI
    callers will see GTDOORS.CBS rather than GTDOORS.BBS.

    There is no automatic mechanism for asking GT to 'leave out' lines to
    this file depending on caller access level.  Callers normally either
    see this file in its entirety (if they have Door Permission) or not at
    all. It *is* possible, though, to run a program in the Log-On Door
    which creates a customised GTDOORS.BBS file determined by the access
    level of the caller.  Various programs of that type already exist -
    other local GT boards may have one available for download.

│ Door sub-menus │
└────────────────┘

    GT will support up to 999 doors.  If you use more than about 20 doors,
    it will often make sense to use door sub-menus.  In this case, the
    GTDOORS.BBS will usually list only the door sub-menus, for example :

                       G.  Game Doors
                       D.  Database Doors
                       U.  Utility Doors

    though there is no reason why the main door menu should not also list
    some numeric doors if you wish it to.

    GT can support 26 door sub-menus, identified as A to Z.  Callers
    selecting one of these sub-menus will then see a list of doors
    appropriate to that classification.

    Notes:  a)  Using door sub-menus does not prevent callers who know a
                door number from calling the door direct, eg O 22 is just
                as good as O G 22 if the caller knows in advance that door
                22 (which you have listed in sub-menu G) is wanted.

            b)  The door sub-menus can be edited using another GT-Help menu
                option, where more information is available.
