- 0DDsetup Interface is FREE and can be used by any sysop using DDPlus style doors.
- 0The DDSetup Interface can be used to setup almost any door that uses the DDPlus
- 0door kit control file format. Simply type in the path and file name in the
- 0blue input area. If the control file doesn't already exist it can be created
- 0by this program. After entering the desired control file click continue or
- 0press Alt-C or Escape.
- 0
- 0The second screen lists the values of all the fields of the control file. All
- 0fields are free entry fields and can be typed over. Some fields have pick
- 0lists. Each list consists of all the acceptable parameters for this element.
- 0(If the field has a light blue background it has a pick list.)
- 0
- 0CONTROL: The fields can be selected by either clicking with a mouse or using
- 0the arrow or tab keys to manuever from field to field. Also, the function keys
- 0and certain alt keys can be used:
- 0
- 0F1 - Alt-H (Help - online help menu) F2 - Alt-P (Pick list selections)
- 0F3 - Alt-S (Save - save the file) F5 - Alt-C (Continue)
- 0F10 - Alt-X (eXit)
- 0
- 0DOOR COMMAND LINE PARMS: The door can also be controlled using the following
- 0parameters:
- 0/Bxxx - Specify locked baud rate (i.e. /B38400)
- 0/Cx - Specify comport number. (x is 1-4)
- 0/E - Use ESM for extra memory.
- 0/L - Local mode
- 0/Nx - Specify node number. (x is 1-9)
- 0/Mx - Specify multiple ctl file number. (x is up to 2 filename characters)
- 0/R - Force RIP graphics (disabled in many doors).
- 0/Pyyy - Specify path to drop file (i.e. /Pc:\bbs\node1).
- 0/V - Turn local video off (i.e. local screen color is statback).
- 0/W - A Dos only network is present (but not using a multi-tasker).
- 0
- 0Note - Check sysop docs to see if all or other parms apply to a particular door.
- 1Sysop First - Specifies the first name of the sysop as it will be shown to
- 1 the users.
- 1
- 1Sysop Last - Specifies the last name of the sysop as it will be shown to the
- 1 users.
- 1
- 1BBS Name - Specifies the name of the bbs as it will be shown to users.
- 2BBSType Specifies the type of bbs software under which this door program
- 2 will be run. Valid bbs types include:
- 2
- 2 DOORSYS - The DOOR.SYS format (Wildcat!,GAP,TAG, etc)
- 2 RBBS - Rbbs version 16.1+ (uses v1 of DORINFOx.DEF*)
- 2 QUICK - Quickbbs,Force,R.A. (uses v2 of DORINFOx.DEF**)
- 2 DORINFO1 - R.A., other bbses (uses v2 of DORINFO1.DEF**)
- 2 PCB15 - Pcboard version 15
- 2 PHOENIX - Phoenix bbs (uses INFO.BBS)
- 2 SPITFIRE - Spitfires bbs (uses SFDOORS.DAT)
- 2 WWIV - WWIV bbs (uses CHAIN.TXT)
- 2 2AM - 2 A.M. software (uses JUMPER.DAT)
- 2 TRIBBS - TriBBS software (uses TRIBBS.SYS)
- 2 PCB14 - Pcboard version 14
- 2
- 2Notes * ANSI graphics is selected when a "2" is passed in the graphics
- 2 parameter of the DORINFOx.DEF. RBBS standard.
- 2 ** ANSI graphics is selected when a "1" is passed in the graphics
- 2 parameter of the DORINFOx.DEF. QuickBBS,Remote Access,FORCE,
- 2 UltraBBS and many shareware BBSes require this type.
- 3Internal - Communications are handled by the door programs own internal
- 3communication routines. Generally this uses less processing than any other
- 3method. Speeds can be as high as 115,200 baud. Locking is usually not
- 3necessary and may have no affect at all.
- 3If internal is specified then it is possible to define the port address and
- 3the IRQ number. This is only necessary if the port and irq are other than the
- 3standard configuration or conflict with other irqs. A hexadecimal number is
- 3input below the desired port number. Below this type the IRQ number (0-15).
- 3
- 3Fossil - Standard Bios fossil routines. These can handle communication speeds
- 3up to and including 115,200 baud. When choosing a fossil you must also select
- 3whether or not it is to be locked.
- 3
- 3XFossil - High Speed Extended fossil routines. These can handle speeds up to
- 3115,200 speed. When choosing a fossil you must also select whether or not it
- 3is to be locked.
- 3Digi - DigiBoard driver direct support. This can handle communication speeds
- 3up to and including 115,200 baud. This option will not reset anything in the
- 3the digiboard or modem. It just detects the board tyoe and if present then
- 3ports input and output to the board.
- 3This option supports most DigiBoard drivers.
- 4LockBaud This will specify a locked baud rate. If you specify this
- 4 parameter, then no matter what the bbs software says, this baud
- 4 rate will be used.
- 4 [NOTE: You can also specify the locked baud rate using /Bxxxx from
- 4 the command line]
- 5Status Specify "ON" if you wish the status line to appear at the bottom
- 5 of "OFF" if you wish it to be disabled.
- 5
- 5Statfore Statfore foreground color of the status line.
- 5 Valid numbers (0-15);
- 5
- 5Statback The background color of the status line or entire local screen
- 5 if /V command line parm is issued.
- 5 Valid numbers (0-7)
- 5
- 5 Color codes: 1 : blue 6 : brown 11 : light cyan
- 5 2 : green 7 : light grey 12 : bright red
- 5 0 : black 3 : cyan 8 : dark grey 13 : light magenta
- 5 4 : red 9 : light blue 14 : yellow
- 5 5 : magenta 10 : light green 15 : white
- 6Maxtime The maxtime parameter will allow you to specify a maximum time per
- 6 session that a user may be in the door. (i.e. if you specified 30
- 6 minutes, then if the user had 60 mins left, he could only play for
- 6 30 mins). Otherwise the maximum time is the users time remaining
- 6 per the bbs dropfile.
- 7Mono Will disable color on the local side. (Necessary if you are
- 7 running a monochrome system)
- 7
- 7Color1 Tells the door to select ANSI graphics when a "1" is passed in the
- 7 graphics parameter of the DORINFOx.DEF.
- 7 If you are correctly using the right version of dorinfox.def this
- 7 will NOT be needed.
- 7 Indeed this is included only to maintain consistancy with previous
- 7 versions.
- 8ComPort For bbs types that do not have the com-port contained in their
- 8 door dropfiles (such as PCBOARD-12), you will have to specify
- 8 the comport. Simply put the port number (i.e. 1,2,etc) not the
- 8 whole word COM1 in the field.
- 8 As the most common dropfiles do have the comport number this is
- 8 only needed by those rare systems without it.
- 8
- 8 [NOTE: A much better way to specify the comport is to use the
- 8 /Cx parameter from the command line.]
- 9Pausecode Specifies the Rip pause code that your bbs uses. This will
- 9 be added to multiple page Rip scores file so you can use them
- 9 as a bulletin.
- APort1 If you must use a non-standard interrupt, the door can be
- APort2 configured for IRQs 0-15. The port# indicates the chosen comport
- APort3 Follow this with the port address in hex. Afterward put the IRQ
- APort4 in decimal. For an example if comport 3 at IRQ 15 and address
- A $03E8 was needed use the following:
- A PORT3 03E8 15
- A
- A Standard Ports are configured to be:
- A PORT ADDR IRQ
- A 1 03F8 4
- A 2 02F8 3
- A 3 03E8 4
- A 4 02E8 3
