*** IMPORTANT FOR SYSTEMS RUNNING "DOORS" ***
A new utility, CTDLKEY.EXE, has been created which processes
information passed to it from Citadel. This utility MUST be
in your \DOOR subdirectory (\HomeArea\DOOR to be precise).
CTDLKEY.EXE is called AUTOMATICALLY when a user exits to
run a door, and will process information from a file
generated by Citadel prior to exiting for Door use.
It will then create PcBoard.Sys, DorInfo1.Def and Altern.Def
and will place these files in the same directory. The ONLY
CHANGE you have to make to your Door batch files is to make
sure you put a copy of CTDLKEY.EXE in your \HomeArea\DOOR
subdirectory so that it is available for system use!
NOTE WELL: Citadel:K2NE V5.10/V5.11 WILL NOT RUN DOORS UNLESS
YOU MAKE THESE CHANGES!!!!!
CTDLKEY.EXE also will generate DOORLOG.SYS in the
\HomeArea\Door directory each time a user exits to a Door.
This is a self-appending file which requires sysop management
or else it will grow without limit. Also, if DOORLOG.SYS
is moved to the \HomeArea\System directory, it will be available
for display using the new AIDE command ".AQD" (Aide Query DoorLog).
This can easily be done by having each of your ?.BAT Door Control
batchfiles copy DOORLOG.SYS to the \HomeArea\System directory
at the end of each Door session prior to returning to the BBS.
On a regular basis, you can also rename DOORLOG.SYS to DOORLOG.BAK
in the \HomeArea\System directory, which will then make the ".BAK"
file available for the other new AIDE command ".AQBD" (query
backup DoorLog). If you do this, you MUST DELETE the existing
copy of DOORLOG.SYS in your \HomeArea\DOOR subdirectory, or the
old log will simply be copied over to the system area the next
time a user accesses a Door. This is a lot easier to DO than it
is to read about! A batchfile, run weekly for example, can handle
this automatically.
