SysOp Setup Information:
BBS BackGammon Should Run on almost any BBS.. given the right data
in the configuration file..
The Following Files Should be in the same directory as BBSBGM.EXE
BBSBGM.RNX <---- if missing BBSBGM Will Create.
BBSBGM.CFG <---- Modify this file for your BBS.
BBSBGM.DOC <---- The file your reading now.
ANSI.EMU <---- Absolutely Necessary.
BBSBGM.EXE <---- Executable file.
You may run BackGammon in the Local mode by typing the following
at the DOS prompt
C:>BBSBGM 1 Your Name
Note: The BBSBGM.CFG file is still needed even for Local Mode.
The first parameter is a valid com port number the second is the
users first name and the third is the users last name.
Note : if any parameters are passed to BBSBGM it will assume Local
Mode.
To run BBS BackGammon on your BBS you will need to know what your
BBS uses as a user file that is "DORINFO1.DEF", "CALLINFO.BBS"
"CHAIN.TXT","USERFILE" etc.. If you don't Know What line numbers
that your userfile uses for User's first names and Last names and
Baud Rates, You'll need to look at them using a text editor and
figure out which line has this information..
NEW: BBS BackGammon Now supports Systems that use Chain.Txt user file.
for reading the amount of time a user has left..( in seconds )
check out the BBSBGM.Cfg file for more info.
If your userfile is not a text file, that is, a binary file or
or something else then you might try using QKDOOR.EXE to convert
your user file into a text type file.
If your userfile has a Time Used line and a Time Limit Line
(in Minutes) or a Time Left Line (in seconds) then BBS BackGammon
will use that information if you tell it where to find it..
The BBSBGM.CFG file has an example of how to set this up on a BBS
that uses a "Chain.Txt" and a "Dorinfo.def" file..
Simply plug in the appropriate information, set up your batch file
or whatever it is that you do to run a door.. and your all set.
BBS BackGammon will detect a Carrier Loss and return to the system.
It won't, However update any userfiles or report any statuses.
If you find that you need BBS Backgammon to perform some specific
tasks on exit, Let me know what it is and we'll make it do what
you need it to.
