Disclaimer
----------
This program will probably only take up room on your hard drive.
It works on my system, but then it would wouldn't it? It's free so don't
expect any great examples of programming skill.
Minimum System:
---------------
If you can run a BBS you can run this door. If it claims your
out of memory, have your BBS software swap itself out of memory before
launching this door.
How to Use:
-----------
Running in Local Mode: use the /L Switch ie: WALL /L
(1)Unzip to a directory. It's own is best.
(2)Edit the wall.cfg file to suit your needs.
For use with Telegard:
----------------------
Create a batch file. Here's what I use:
d:
cd\telegard\doors\tnywall
wall.exe /N%1 /Dd:\telegard\temp%1\door.sys
In Telegard my command line looks like this:
d:\telegard\doors\tnywall\tnywall.bat ~CN
For use with RemoteAccess:
--------------------------
Use the Type 7 action command, using the following for the Option Data:

wall.cmd

it. For reference, i've included a sample config file named 'WALL.CFG'
to get you started.

History:
--------
05/01/97 - Version 1.6b
- Messed up on my Lord/Pipe bit, if user didn't use a color code
a blank line was saved. Fixed.
04/30/97 - Version 1.6
- Added LORD Colour Codes.
- The wall will now accept both lord and Pipe codes. *BUT* not in
the same babble.
- I'm sooooooo sick of this door. <Grin> I believe it's stable now,
and has as many features as users on my system have requested.
Send me your Bugs / comments please.
04/22/97 - Version 1.5
- Removed lightbars from DOS version so my code could be modular.
- Now waits for ONLY a Y or N from user when asking to save.
- FINALLY got rid of the ascii garbage. Thanks Enigma! :)
Appears I was using a color code that didn't exist. <Cough> never
thought to look for something so simple.
04/15/97 - Version 1.4
- Never Released this version.
- Sigh. Man did I ever screw up version 1.3! I compiled it using the
wrong unit, messed up the docs (Worse then they are now), compiled
the wrong version of the wall. Geeze, I need a beta tester. :)
- DOCS have been added to a little bit by David Bate, Thanks!!
- See the updates for 1.3, that's what is done in this version. <G>
04/11/97 - Version 1.3d
- Fixed the High Ascii garbage that showed up when adding a new
babble to the wall. Forgot to Init a string. <Cough>
- While I was at it, I updated everything to the proper version
number.
03/18/97 - Version 1.1d
- Users can now use Pipe codes to change color in the wall.
- Added help for colors to the about screen
- Fixed a display bug.
- Added a much better border - Drawn by "Acid" the guy, not group.
03/07/97 - Version 1.0d (First version ever :) )
Scrapped all versions older then this one, They were in QB4.5 and didn't
work anyway. <Cough>
- Hey, It works. Lemmie know what bugs you guys find, I couldn't
find any myself but I know someone will. <G>

You read this far!? Wow... As you can see I stink at writing DOCS. Anyway,
look for the new version of my BBS lister door with so many new features it'll
knock your socks off!

based on a user within the Oshawa area.
