The Enquirer
Version 6.00
The Enquirer door is a spoof on another great door called Today in
History. When you call up Enquirer, Headlines like you might read in a
Enquirer type newspaper will come up. I use The Enquirer door as a leadin
on my BBS. The data file with the headlines is a straight ASCII file which
can be modified using just about any word proccessor. We have started great
wars between our users by putting insulting headlines up about them. A
friend of mine enjoyed it so much that he wrote his own door called the
ADDER which will let your users add their own headlines to the ENQUIRER data
file. This door has been sent over the DDS in conjunction with this door.
It is also available on my BBS.
This program is considered shareware! BUT, It is FREE if you have
registered any of my other Door games.
Call my BBS 413-445-7519 and register with your credit card.
All first time callers have full access....
Or send me a check for $20.00 along with a disk and a postpaid self
addressed disk mailer and I will send out your registration number within
three days. The address is listed at the end ot this document.
Please include the Full name you used in the ENQINSTL.EXE,
bbs name and telephone number.
**** REMEMBER ********** READ THIS *********************************
Once you register any one of my door games all my
other games Terra-Firma, Who Dunit?, Busted! and the Pass it On Door
will work with the Registration number that I send you. So in fact it's
like getting 5 doors for the price of one. All future versions
will continue to work with the registration you recieve. This has been
my policy for three years and will not change!
**** REMEMBER ******************************************************
If you can't send a disk and a post paid self addressed disk mailer,
send me $25.00 and I will take care of it for you. I will upload your
registered copy to your bbs if you prefer this method.
With that out of the way, welcome to Enquirer SysOp Docs. Lets make
this short and pointless!
Enquirer is now MULTINODE capable and will support Locked ports up
38400. Enquirer will also auto detect fossils and is multitasker aware.
Support for avatar has also been added.
1. Un-Arc the ENQUIR60.ZIP file into it's own sub-directory. The name of
the sub-directory is unimportant.
2. The following files will be un-arched.
ENQUIRER.EXE ----------> Main Game
ENQUIRE.DAT ----------> ASCII Headline Data file.
SETUP.DAT ----------> SETUP data for ENQINSTL.EXE
ENQINSTL.EXE ----------> Installer
ENQ1.ANS ----------> ANSI Welcome screen
ENQ1.ASC ----------> ASCII Welcome Screen
ENQSYSOP.DOC ----------> You're reading it
3. Run ENQINSTL.EXE and answer the questions. This program will write a
ENQUIRER.CFG file. Enquirer can read BBS DROP files from the following BBS's.
QuickBBS, Remote Access, RBBS, SuperBBS, Telegard, WildCat 3, PcBoard
(latest), GAP, WildCat BBS, Genesis, SpitFire, WWIV, Osiris, MAXIMUS,
FORCE! and other BBS software that uses a compatible format with one
mentioned above.
Door Drop Files:
CALLINFO.BBS
DORINFO?.DEF
SFDOOR.DAT
INFO.BBS
DOOR.SYS
CHAIN.TXT
PCBOARD.DAT
If your BBS does not write one of these files you will have to use a door
patch program of some type. If you are at a loss my BBS has several fine
Shareware programs of this nature for downloading.
4. Set up your batch file to call Enquirer. You need one line to run the
program. My bat file follows.
ENQUIRER.BAT ----------> Name of Bat file
CD\BBS\ENQUIRER ----------> Change to your directory of ENQUIRER
ENQUIRER.EXE DORINFO1.DEF ----> Call ENQUIRER with your BBS Drop File
name on the Command line.
CD\BBS ----------> Whatever it takes to get back into bbs.
All you need to do is call the program and the BBS Door Drop file
together and you're set.
ENQUIRER will run locally with a default name of unknown, if NO
drop file can be found.
The following Keys are available to the SysOp while a user is on line.
Alt H = Hangs Up
Alt R or X = Returns to the BBS without hanging up
Alt C = Enters Chat Mode
Alt J = Jumps to DOS (Dos Shell)
Alt = = Adds one minute to time remaining
Alt - = Substracts one minute to time
remaining
