                                   FORMAT #1:

DOORWAY recognizes 2 DOOR.SYS formats.  It will determine which you are using
if you enter SYS on the command line after DOORWAY.  The first is common to
DOORWAY, the second to several BOARD packages, such as GAP.

  Many users of other than PCBoard have asked that doorway use a simpler
and more consistant ASCII file for door support than PCBOARD.SYS.  Starting
with version 1.43, DOORWAY will also recognize a file by the name of DOOR.SYS.
I have tried to make this file as generic as possible, so others can use the
same format.  I am giving the format to Public Domain, so it may be used
without fear.  The following shows the file format.  A program reading the
format must be able to accept a file with additional lines, for future
expansion.  Each line is ASCII and followed by a carriage return/line feed.

USER NAME         *     This line contains the user's first and last name
PORT NUMBER       *     This line contains either a 1, 2 or 0 for local
BAUD RATE               This line contains the baud rate the port needs to be
                            opened at.
TIME              *     This line contains an integer less than 32767 in mins.
GRAPHICS          *     This line contains a "G" for graphics, "M" for mono.
ALARM             *     This line contains an "A" for ALARM, "S" for silent.


 * DOORWAY will actually use this entry.  DOORWAY will only use the first name
     of the caller and will parse it from the full name.
