Thanks for trying ChessMAGIC! on your BBS!
In order for ChessMAGIC! to run, you MUST include on your command line
certain parameters. The proper procedure is detailed in CMAGIC.DOC, so
please take a moment to read this documentation.
For those of you who hate to read docs, RUNIT.BAT will bring ChessMAGIC!
up using the GENERIC.SYS file. This method of operation causes
ChessMAGIC! to prompt for a name entry. This method of operation is NOT
recommended, but does provide you with a quick look before using properly
with your particular BBS type.
The following BBS user file formats are DIRECTLY SUPPORTED by the current
version of ChessMAGIC!:
door.sys - WildCat! v3.x, GAP v5.x, Generic & others
callinfo.bbs - WildCat! v2.x
generic.sys - A simple user system file that ChessMAGIC! can
utilize.
Sample DOOR.BAT for systems using DOOR.SYS format:
d:
cd \doors\cmagic
* cmagic DRIVE\PATH\door.sys
* NOTE: If not in your default directory where ChessMAGIC! is run,
you MUST specify the DRIVE\PATH to your system's user file!
=======================
ATTENTION
PC-Board & RBBS
(and other)
Sysops!
=======================
Direct support of your systems' user file formats is underway and will be
available in a future release. In the meantime, we've included an
excellent shareware utility (QKDOOR2F.EXE by Chris Hall) that converts
your user files from one format to another. This enables you to use
ChessMAGIC! at once, with little additional effort.
Qkdoor is easy to run and doesn't even need to be configured (you can
delete the QKDOOR.CTL file -- it isn't required). Run it where your user
information files for the required node are located, using a simple
command line:
qkdoor pcb14 d:\cmagic\gap {PCBoard v14.x}
qkdoor pcb12 d:\cmagic\gap {PCBoard v12.x}
qkdoor rbbs2 d:\cmagic\gap {RBBS node 2}
qkdoor wwiv d:\cmagic\gap {WWIV}
This will read in the user file data (in default area when run) and
generate the DOOR.SYS file in your CMAGIC system directory (use whatever
path suits your system setup).
After conversion to DOOR.SYS format, your ChessMAGIC! command line would
be as simple as:
cmagic door.sys
An example DOOR.BAT file when using this converter follows:
qkdoor pcb14 d:\cmagic\gap {run where pcboard.sys/.dat found}
d:
cd\cmagic
cmagic door.sys
