HOW TO USE UFOBASE :
--------------------------------
1. To run ufobase7.exe locally, use this on your command line:
ufobase7 LOCAL
2. ALWAYS include the name of your .cfg file when calling up ufobase7 as an
online door:
ufobase7 DOOR1.CFG
3. For non standard IRQs, you can use this for an example:
ufobase7 DOOR1.CFG /5
* PLEASE don't write and ask what IRQs to use on your non-standard systems.
I've run comport 1 for 5 years and I have no idea in the world what your IRQs
or system setup might be. That's -your- responsibility to know the setup of
your system. Thanks.
4. It is highly recommended you use the internal communications routines but
if you must you can call ufobase7 with a fossil driver. For Example:
ufobase7 DOOR.CFG /FD
Notice to use the fossil driver you put a /FD on the command line.
ABOUT YOUR DOOR CONFIG FILE
----------------------------------
Your config file is ascii file that has on the first line the
path to your BBS drop file AND the name of your BBS drop file.
On the second line is the name of your BBS. On the third line
is your First name and on your Fourth line is your last name.
(WHEN REGISTERING, THEY MUST BE EXACTLY LIKE YOU REGISTERED THE
PROGRAM. DON'T PUT ANY SPACES AFTER YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME.)
Example .cfg file:
c:\quickbbs\dorinfo1.def
The Frontier BBS
Jerry
Woody
DOOR.CFG =MUST= reside in the same directory as ufobase7.EXE!
ufobase7 MUST BE RUN FROM IT'S OWN DIRECTORY; NOT THROUGH A PATH STATEMENT,
ETC.
ABOUT RUNNING THE DOOR
----------------------
ufobase7 can be run from your bbs with either a shell or drop to dos,
if your memory is large enough. For example, to run it as a type 7
shell to dos for quickbbs the command line would be:
command.com /c AD.bat or
command.com *C AD.bat
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
USING INTERBBS MODULES WITH UFOBASE:
====================================
Detailed information on InterBBS Data Sharing with UFOBASE is contained in
the enclosed archives PHASE1.ZIP PHASE2.ZIP PHASE3.ZIP.
Briefly: Phase1 InterBBS allows you to swap UFO data by means of a netmail
file attach. Phase2 InterBBS allows your users to send and receive keyword
searches to other BBSes. Phase3 InterBBS allows you to receive and transmit
data directly from EchoMail.
To Use Phase 1 InterBBS with UFOBASE:
* Unarchive and read instructions in phase1.zip
* Call UFOBASE up with PHASE1 on the command line. Example:
UFOBASE7 DOOR1.CFG PHASE1
* The files UFO.TMP and FUFO.TMP will be created when data is entered for
processing.
To Use Phase 2 InterBBS with UFOBASE:
* Unarchive and read instructions in phase2.zip
* Call UFOBASE up with PHASE2 on the command line. Example:
UFOBASE7 DOOR1.CFG PHASE2
* This will allow users to send queries to other BBSes
To Use Phase 3 InterBBS with UFOBASE:
* Unarchive and read instructions in phase3.zip
* Call UFOBASE up with PHASE3 on the command line. Example:
UFOBASE7 DOOR1.CFG PHASE3
* The files UFO.FRE and UFO.FIX will be created when data is entered for
processing.
You can use 1 or all of the InterBBS methods. For example:
UFOBASE7 DOOR1.CFG PHASE1 PHASE2 PHASE3
! If you plan to run InterBBS you MUST call UFOBASE up with one of the
phases!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* NOTE: You -must- have a copy of dsz.exe present to
enable the download of The ufo Database!.
* On some systems I had reports you can't use the sysop function keys when a
user is online and you use a fossil.
* PLEASE NOTE: -Only- use the /FD command if the door's internal
communications routines don't work on your system. The door utilizes it's
own communications routines which are more reliable then the fossil driver
selection available with the door. Remember- even if your mailer and / or BBS
requires a fossil to run, this door doesn't require a fossil.
* When UFOBASE shells to DSZ, I've had reports of QEMM, yes, once again
"out of memory" errors. Don't know what will fix this unless you might use
the programs mark/release or call the programmers of QEMM to write a more
compatible "memory manager". On another note, several QEMM users use the
program without trouble, they just increase the amount of memory needed to run
the program!
* On 486DX Cpu's the math co-processors can't handle the floating point math.
To fix this in your autoexec.bat file put in SET NO87=ON .
ABOUT *DOWN.BAT
---------------
Enclosed are sample .bat files to call dsz to download the database.
You can edit these to custom configure your system. Ymodem, Xmodem and Zmodem
is supported.
THE SIMPLIEST DSZ CALL HAVE BEEN PUT INTO THE
*Down.BAT BATCH FILES INCLUDED IN THIS ARCHIVE. YOU NEED TO RE-WRITE THEM TO
CONFIGURE THEM TO YOUR SYSTEM.
ABOUT UFO.JNL:
==============
UFO.JNL is the Online Ufo journal. It's in Ascii format. Each topic,
at the beginning of the article, is preceded by a @ . For example:
@Alien Encounters
At the end of the articl is a :
!
You can add articles to the journal by following these instructions. if you
have questions just take a look at the ufo.jnl file and you'll easily see
the format.
ABOUT DOWNLOAD.CTL
==================
The Download.CTL file is a list of "free" files you might want the user to
have and be able to download from this Door program. This files' format is on
the first line a description of the file (and of course the file name) and the
second line is the path and name for file. For example:
Pkunzip.EXE To unzip your .Zip files
c:\quickbbs\xpress\pkunzip.exe
* IMPORTANT: DO NOT HAVE ANY BLANK LINES AT THE END OF YOUR DOWNLOAD.CTL FILE.
IF YOU DO YOU WILL GET "INPUT PAST END OF FILE" ERRORS!
* IMPORTANT: DSZ MUST BE AVAILABLE AS THE PROGRAM CALLS UP DSZ TO ALLOW THE
USER TO DOWNLOAD THE FILES!
If you do not wish to use this feature simply delete DOWNLOAD.CTL . The new
user door will bypass the free download section and go to the next part.
ABOUT UFO.QUE:
===================
UFO.QUE is the Sysop definable 'free form' database template. These are the
questions that are asked of the person inputting data in the sysop definable
free form database. Its format is:
THE FIRST LINE MUST BE HOW MANY QUESTIONS ARE CONTAINED IN THE FILE.
Then begin the questions:
QUESTION
HOW MANY POSSIBLE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTION
QUESTION
HOW MANY POSSIBLE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTION
and so on. If the Question is NOT Multiple Choice then the HOW MANY POSSBILE
ANSWERS TO THE QUESTION WOULD BE 0. For multiple choice you would put in
the number of possible multiple choice questons. For example, here is a 8
question UFO.QUE:
8

[F] 36 - 41
[G] 41 - 46
[H] 46 - 51
[I] Greater than 51
SPECIAL SWITCHES:
-----------------
When you register a limited editor is available. To invoke the editor do:
ufobase7 EDITOR
This is for the fixed form database. For the SysOp Definable Free Form
Database a simple text editor will work. Each record starts with a
chr$(1) and ends with chr$(2)
PLEASE NOTE. THIS IS NOT FREEWARE BUT SHAREWARE. IF YOU
USE IT THEN -PAY- FOR IT. If you don't you might save a few
bucks now but in a few years when the shareware system doesn't work
and most of the door authors have gone commercial you'll be
wishing you'd registered your shareware material. 'Nuff said.
