! UPGRADING FROM VERSIONS BELOW VERSION 3.0 OF MATCHMAKER:
ProMatch Version 3.0 represents an 80% rewrite of ProMatch. To upgrade
Delete everything in your ProMatch directory except your Door*.cfg files
and .key file if you have registered. RipScript was taken OUT of ProMatch
due to the fact that Ripterm 2.??????? cannot be run on this author's board
without it corrupting the file allocation table, locking up, and more.
HOW TO USE PRO MATCHMAKER :
--------------------------------
1. To run PMATCH3.exe locally, use this on your command line:
PMATCH3 LOCAL
2. ALWAYS include the name of your .cfg file when calling up PMATCH3 as an
online door: For example for node 1
PMATCH3 DOOR1.CFG
3. For non standard IRQs, you can use this for an example:
PMATCH3 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 PMATCH3 with a fossil driver. For Example:
PMATCH3 DOOR1.CFG /FD
Notice to use the fossil driver you put a /FD on the command line.
* 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.
* 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 .
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
USING INTERBBS MODULES WITH PROMATCH:
====================================
Detailed information on InterBBS Data Sharing with PROMATCH is contained in
the enclosed archives PHASE1.ZIP AND PHASE3.ZIP.
Briefly: Phase1 InterBBS allows you to swap PROMATCH data by means of a netmail
file attach. Phase3 InterBBS allows you to receive and transmit
data directly from EchoMail.
To Use Phase 1 InterBBS with PROMATCH:
* Unarchive and read instructions in phase1.zip
* Call PROMATCH up with PHASE1 on the command line. Example:
PMATCH3 DOOR1.CFG PHASE1
* The files PROFILE.TMP, MATCH.TMP & *.JSG will be created when data is
entered for processing.
To Use Phase 3 InterBBS with PROMATCH:
* Unarchive and read instructions in phase3.zip
* Call PROMATCH up with PHASE3 on the command line. Example:
PMATCH3 DOOR1.CFG PHASE3
* The files PROFILE.3PR, MATCH.3CL & *.3SG will be created when data is
entered for processing.
You can use 1 or all of the InterBBS methods. For example:
PMATCH3 DOOR1.CFG PHASE1 PHASE3
! If you plan to run InterBBS you MUST call PMATCH up with one of the
phases!
! Attached graphic files ARE interBBS with Phase 1 InterBBS. Attached
graphic files ARE NOT InterBBS at this time with Phase 3.
! If you run interbbs DO NOT ALTER THE QUESTIONS IN THE USER PROFILE SECTION.
(PFILE.DAT, PURITY.DAT, PERTEST.DAT). If you are NOT running InterBBS then
you can edit these files to your taste.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUPPORT FILES NEEDED TO RUN PMATCH3:
------------------------------------
DSZ.EXE or some other external protocol engine to upload and download attaches
%1 is the comport passed to the batch, %2 is the filename.
PKZIP/PKUNZIP is needed to zip up/unzip outgoing interbbs packages Phase 1.
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. MAKE DOUBLE SURE YOUR NAME IN THE DOOR*.CFG IS THE SAME AS IN YOUR
.KEY FILE)
Example .cfg file:
c:\sbbs\node1\door.sys
Compu<>Link Online
Jerry
Woody
DOOR*.CFG =MUST= reside in the same directory as PMATCH3.EXE!
PMATCH3 MUST BE RUN FROM IT'S OWN DIRECTORY; NOT THROUGH A PATH STATEMENT,
etc.
ABOUT *UP.BAT and *DOWN.BAT:
----------------------------
Enclosed are sample .bat files to call dsz upload for Display Advertising.
You can edit these to custom configure your system. Ymodem, Xmodem and Zmodem
is supported. THE SIMPLIEST DSZ CALL HAVE BEEN PUT INTO THE
*UP.BAT BATCH FILES INCLUDED IN THIS ARCHIVE. YOU NEED TO RE-WRITE THEM TO
CONFIGURE THEM TO YOUR SYSTEM. Same with *DOWN.BAT files.
ABOUT Module.CTL:
=================
Pmatch has the ability to run external modules written by WoodyWare. These
modules are things we want to put in PMATCH but because of memory, etc. cannot
be built in. Module.Ctl is read by PMATCH to find out what external programs
are available to run and will run them if the user picks them. The format
of Module.CTL is:
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM
PROGRAM
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM
PROGRAM
For example:
Spin the Bottle Game
GAME1.EXE
If no Module.CTL file is found Pmatch will tell the user no external modules
are available.
ABOUT THE PROMATCH UTILITY PROGRAM:
===================================
When you register ProMatch you will be able to access the Promatch Utility
program (PUTIL.EXE).
Once registered you will be able to:
- ADD QUESTIONS TO CLASSIC MATCHMAKER
- DELETE QUESTIONS IN CLASSIC MATCHMAKER
- DELETE CLASSIFIED PERSONAL ADS
- ADD NAMES FOR ADULT ACCESS TO QUESTIONAIRES
- DELETE A USER FROM PROMATCH
- RUN MANUAL MAINTENANCE
You can also run 'batch maintenance' by calling putil as such:
PUTIL MAINT
When maintenance is run it will :
Remove deleted users
Remove deleted classified ads
Remove classifieds, Profiles and Classic MatchMaker records older than x
number of days
Remove classifieds and Profiles that are over x number of records
You will need to edit the Putil.CFG file to suit your taste. The format for
the Putil.cfg file is:
Your First name (no spaces after your first name. Capitilization counts)
Your Last name (no spaces after your last name. Capitilization counts)
Maximum # of days to keep Classified ads
Maximum # of days to keep Classic MatchMaker Records
Maximum # of days to keep User Profile Match Records
Maximum # of classified ads
Maximum # of Classic MatchMaker Records (not yet available)
Maximum # of User Profile Match Records
Here's an example PUTIL.CFG:

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.
If you have questions or problems feel free to call me voice at 205-737-1929.
If I'm in the office I'll be happy to help you, BUT PLEASE NOTE I CANNOT
RETURN YOUR CALLS IF I'M NOT HERE. PRICING THE DOORS SO LOW IF I CALLED
EVERYONE BACK I'D SOON BE SELLING THE COMPUTER TO PAY MA BELL. You can reach
me netmail at 1:3607/20, snail mail (Include an SASE for a reply) to the
address on the order.frm. There have been questions on ordering my doors... I
really don't understand the problem, the process is simple: FILL OUT THE
ORDER.FRM, SEND CHECK OR MONEY ORDER AND MAIL IT TO THE ADDRESS ON THE ORDER
FORM. Your registration code will be mailed to you via usps.
