-
- QUICK START!
- ------------
- Most people, including myself, don't like to read DOC file or
- Manuals. We just unzip the program, scan over the DOCs and run the
- program. So here is the quickest was to get this program running.
-
- 1. Place BYANOSE.EXE and it's files into it's own Directory.
-
- 2. Use your text editor to EDIT the file called "BYANOSE" to suit
- your BBS needs. This file is the sample BAT file that will run
- BYANOSE.EXE. PCBoard types will use this file some others will
- need to add the information to the BAT file that calls your
- DOORS.
-
- PCBOARD EXAMPLE:
-
- CD\DOORS\BYANOSE
- BYANOSE BYANOSE.CFG
- CD %PCBDIR%
- BOARD
-
- SPITFIRE SF.BAT EXAMPLE:
-
- :DOOR_H
- REM Place Door H Commands Here
- CD\SF\BYANOSE
- BYANOSE BYANOSE.CFG
- CD\SF
- GOTO LOOP
-
- 3. Use your text editor to EDIT the file called "BYANOSE.CFG".
-
- Line #1 is the path and file name of your BBS Door data file
- that is created when entering a door. See CONFIGURATION for
- types allowed.
-
- LINE #2 is your BBS Name.
-
- LINE #3 is the Sysops First Name.
-
- LINE #4 is the Sysops Last Name.
-
- LINE #5 is Allowed Races per day. (Shareware MAX. is 5)
-
- 4. Log on your board and see if it worked.
-
- 5. Send in the registration!
-
- If you have any problems setting this up. You might have to read
- the rest of this DOC.

-
-
- SET UP & CONFIGURATION!
- -----------------------
- First thing you need to do is set up a /BYANOSE directory and copy
- all the BYANOSE files into it.
-
- Next, uses your text editor and edit the file called
- "BYANOSE.CFG". This file is needed to tell BYANOSE who, what,
- where, etc. about you and your BBS.
-
- The following are examples of formats that can be used in line #1
- of the configuration file. The paths may very, but the file names
- are the only data files that can be used.
-
- C:\PCB\PCBOARD.SYS <- For PCBoard systems using PCBoard.SYS only
- C:\PCB\USERS.SYS <- For PCBoard systems using USERS.SYS.
- C:\BBS\CALLINFO.BBS <- For Wildcat! systems (prior to v3.0).
- C:\BBS\GTUSER.BBS <- For GT Power systems.
- C:\BBS\USERINFO.DAT <- For Wildcat! 3.x+ systems.
- C:\BBS\DOOR.SYS <- For Any system that supports DOOR.SYS.
- C:\BBS\DORINFOx.DEF <- For QBBS/RBBS/RA. Replace x with node #.
- C:\SF\SFDOORS.DAT <- For Spitfire systems.
- C:\BBS\TRIBBS.SYS <- For TriBBS systems.
-
- Line #2 <- BBS Name.
- Line #3 <- Sysop's first name.
- Line #4 <- Sysop's last name.
- Line #5 (1 - 100) <- Puzzles allowed per day. (Shareware MAX. 5)
-
-
- NOTE: When using GTUSERS.BBS ONLY!
-
- Line #5 <- Com Port
- Line #6 <- Node Number
- Line #7 (1 - 100) <- Puzzles allowed per day. (Shareware MAX. 5)
-
- Here's how my file looks:
-
- C:\PCB\NODE%PCBNODE%\PCBOARD.SYS <- The name & path of data file
- Up All Night BBS <- BBS Name
- Steve <- My first name
- Martinez <- My last name
- 5 <- Allowed puzzles per day
-
- Notice the %PCBNODE% in the first line. The configuration file
- allows environment variable. See ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE for more
- information.

- SETTING UP BAT FILE
- -------------------
- Use your text editor to EDIT the file called "BYANOSE" to suit
- your BBS needs. This file is the sample BAT file that will run
- BYANOSE.EXE. PCBoard types will use this file. Some others will
- need to add the information to the BAT file that calls your DOORS.
-
- PCBoard EXAMPLE:
-
- CD\DOORS\BYANOSE
- BYANOSE BYANOSE.CFG
- CD %PCBDIR%
- BOARD
-
- SPITFIRE SF.BAT EXAMPLE:
-
- :DOOR_H
- REM Place Door H Commands Here
- CD\SF\BYANOSE
- BYANOSE BYANOSE.CFG
- CD\SF
- GOTO LOOP
-
- BAT FILE EXPLAINED:
- -------------------
- Very simple. First change the directory to the BYANOSE directory.
- Next, call BYANOSE with the CONFIGURATION FILE. After the program
- is finished, change the directory back to your BBS directory.
-
- Notice the %PCBDIR% in the PCBoard example. See ENVIRONMENT
- VARIABLE for more information.
-
-
- NOTE ON HIGH SCORE BULLETINS
- ----------------------------
- The bulletins generated by BYANOSE.EXE can be changed by editing
- the first line of the file called "BYANOSE.BUL" which will be
- created after the first time BYANOSE is played. The default is
- BYANOSE.BLT for non-color graphics and BYANOSEG.BLT for color
- Graphics. Your BULLETIN name can NOT be longer that 7 letter
- because the color file name will have a "G" appended to it. You may
- add the path name along with the file name to this line. My first
- line in BYANOSE.BUL looks like this: BLT1. That means the non-
- color will be "BLT1" and the color will be "BLT1G". Remember, the
- "G" will be appended to the FIRST name of the file, so use ONLY 7
- letter in the first name.
-

-
- Fossil Driver Support
- ---------------------
- DoorFrame supports the use of Fossil drivers. To tell your Door to
- use the Fossil driver instead of the standard COM ports, just put
- /FD on the command line when running the door.
-
- For example:
-
- BYANOSE BYANOSE.CFG /FD
-
- /FD indicates that a Fossil driver is present and should be used.
- If no Fossil driver is detected, DoorFrame will print a message to
- that effect and exit the door gracefully.
-
- Environment Variables
- ---------------------
- DoorFrame supports COM 1-4 on the standard IRQ's - COM1/COM3 = IRQ4
- and COM2/COM4 = IRQ3. If you wish to use a non-standard IRQ, add
- the IRQ number after the configuration filename. Let's assume your
- Door is called BYANOSE and you want to use COM1 and IRQ5. The
- command line passed to your Door would be:
-
- BYANOSE BYANOSE.CFG /5 or
- BYANOSE BYANOSE.CFG /%IRQ% for the environment variable.
-
- The /5 tells DoorFrame to use IRQ5 rather than the standard IRQ4
- that is normally used with COM1. No /x parameter is needed for the
- standard IRQ's.
-
- When specifying the location of the system file on line 1 of the
- doors .CFG file, you may use the environment variables %pcbdrive%,
- %pcbdir%, %pcbnode%, and %wcnodeid%. Some examples:
-
- PCBoard:
- C:\PCB\USERS.SYS = %pcbdrive%%pcbdir%\USERS.SYS
- C:\PCB\NODE1\USERS.SYS = %pcbdrive%%pcbdir%\NODE%pcbnode%\USERS.SYS
-
- Wildcat!:
- USERINFO.DAT in C:\WC\NODE1 - C:\WC\NODE%wcnodeid%
-
- Non-PCBoard systems may use the PCB environment variables by
- setting them in either AUTOEXEC.BAT or in the batch that runs the
- door.
-
- For example:
-
- SET PCBDRIVE=C:
- SET PCBDIR=\BBSDIR
- SET PCBNODE=1
-
