Welcome To the BBSlist Database Door. This door is very easy to use. From
the main menu you have 7 options. The following is a brief explanation of
these options.
[A]dd a bbs - this function will allow you to add a BBS to the database that is
not already there. When adding a BBS you must know the Name,
phone Number, high baud Rate, sysops first name, and what type of
BBS they are running ( GAP / PCBoard ... ). You will also be
asked for an extended description, just hit return a few times if
you have nothing extra to say about this bbs. After the extended
description you will be asked if you want to upload an ANSI
picture. If you choose yes, you will be asked to choose a
transfer protocal you may choose [Z]modem, [Y]modem, [1]K-Xmodem,
and if you have an error correcting modem Ymodem-[G]. Your BBS
will be checked to see if it duplicates a curent BBS and then will
be added to the database. If you make a mistake or for whatever
reason want to abort the entery, just type "/A" on a blank line
and it will abort, or finish the form and say no when asked if it
is correct.
[L]ist the Database - This function allows you to list the database with the
the extended descriptions and ANSI Pictures. If you are
calling with ANSI Graphics on and there is a picture
attached to the entry you will be asked if you want to
view it. If you do not have ANSI Graphics on you will
not be asked to view the file.
[Q]uick list - This option was added so that a user did not have to go through
all the extended descriptions to find a quick list of the BBS's
in the database. This option will display a file with a list of
all the BBS's and indicate which have ANSI pictures attached to
them.
[S]earch Database - This option allows you to search the database for only
those BBS's that you are interested in. You may search by
Baud rate, BBS type, Area Code, or for BBS's With ANSI
Pictures attached to them.
[D]ownload Database - This option allows you to get a copy of the database to
keep for yourself. The file is created at the time of
download to insure that all of the BBS's in the Database
are included.
[H]elp - Displays this screen. Kind of simple Huh?
[X] Exit - Returns you to the BBS This option used to be [Q]uit, but was
remapped when I added the Quick Scan.
