OOINFO - Overkill II BBS Converter Program
~~~~~~
This program is used in companion with the Overkill II door game. OOINFO
reads in the BBS information of the user (name, time left, baud rate, etc.)
and creates a separate file called BBSINFO.OO, containing all the necessary
information for OOII. The process is fairly easy, as the command line is:
C:>OOINFO bbstype \directory\ node
In the "bbstype" field, you must enter a number for the representing bbs
systems:
1 - SpitFire
2 - Gap
3 - GT Power 15.5
4 - PCboard 14.5
5 - RBBS/QuickBBS
6 - WildCat! 2.xx
7 - WWIV 4.xx
8 - Phoenix
9 - GT Power 15.1
10 - 2-AM BBS
The directory must be fairly short in length (less than 40 characters).
Cut off the pathname if your directory line exceeds 40 characters. Avoid
using a PATH specification if at all possible. ALWAYS end the directory
field with a '\'. If not, the program will be unable to find the correct
file.
Node numbers are only needed for bbstypes of 5 (RBBS/QuickBBS).
GT Powercomm and 2AM BBS systems do not provide the ComPort in the data
files they create. In effect, the node field must be replaced by the
ComPort on the command line.
For example, GT Powercomm 15.1 running on Comport of 2.
OOINFO 3 \GTBBS\ 2
...or just replace the "2" with "1", whichever setting your Comport is at.
Also, 2AM on Comport of 1.
OOINFO 10 \2AM\ 1
If you find any problems with your setup, please read MANUAL.DOC for more
information on contacting the authors.
