DCRD - Door Carrier Drop MOD for RBBS-PC 17.4
By: Dan Drinnon Copyright (c) 1992
CREDITS:
--------
Special Thanks to Chip Morrow and Doug Wilson who wrote MailManager +PLUS+, the
QWK Mail Door for RBBS. Without their program, I wouldn't have thought of this
mod.
DISCLAIMER:
-----------
Use these mods at your own risk, subject to the following text under header
"RESTRICTIONS".
RESTRICTIONS:
-------------
You are free to use these MODS for your own use. You may not redistribute
them in modified form in anyway. You may not include them with major mods,
such as, but not including, the MAPLE MODS, DGS MODS, or CDOR MODS. In
other words, you MAY include them in the MAPLE MODS, DGS MODS and CDOR MODS,
but NO OTHERS. If you are responsible for any major mods and your mods
are not listed above, then you are not authorized to use the mods I wrote.
The philosophy of RBBS, "Users Helping Users" is important to me, but
unfortunatly, some sysops have decided to make it "Users Screwing Users",
and therefore, I will not allow certain individuals use these mods.
It should be quite OBVIOUS which mods are NOT included above. Finally,
the code may be used by the copyright owners of RBBS-PC and if these mods
are used in RBBS-PC, the copyright of these mods will then belong to the
copyright owners of RBBS-PC.
FILES:

DCRD100 DOC This file
RBBS-VAR NEW Changes for RBBS-VAR.BAS
RSB2DCRD MRG merge file for RBBSSUB2.BAS
RSB3DCRD MRG merge file for RBBSSUB3.BAS
DESCRIPTION:
------------
Modification for RBBS-PC v17.4 to let RBBS know that a DOOR specified in
your DOORS.DEF file is "authorized" to drop carrier, or log off a user,
without putting a "carrier dropped" in the callers file. This mod will
put a "Logged Off from Door" in the callers file instead. This will help
bulletin generator programs that make Top 30 Carrier Dropper type bulletins
from wrongly listing people who log off from a door as carrier droppers.
IMPLEMENTATION:
---------------
Use Ken Goosen's BLED utility to automatically MERGE the *.MRG files
into a stock RBBS source file:
BLED /L /B RBBSSUB2.BAS RSB2DOOR.MRG RBBSSUB2.NEW
BLED /L /B RBBSSUB3.BAS RSB3DOOR.MRG RBBSSUB3.NEW
Copy the *.NEW files to their *.BAS files, and compile RBBS as described in
the RBBS-PC documentation. You may want to add the merges in BY HAND if
you are already running other mods to RBBS-PC. Copy RBBS-VAR.NEW over to
RBBS-VAR.BAS, or add the changes in by hand. Finally compile RBBS-PC,
as described in the RBBS-SRC.ZIP documentation.
USEAGE:
-------
A 9th Parameter is added to the RBBS-PC DOORS.DEF control file, specifying
whether the door can log off a user or not:
Y - means Yes
N - means No
This parameter must be in CAPS.
You will then have to change your DOORS.DEF file by adding the 9th parameter.
Here's a sample DOORS.DEF file:
GAMES,50,,S,"GAMES.BAT",N,,90,N
MAILMGR,50,,S,"MAILMAN.BAT [NODE] [CBAUD]",N,,45,Y
BBSLIST,50,,S,"BBSLIST.BAT",N,,45,N
COMPLAIN,50,,S,"COMPLAIN.BAT",N,,10,Y
In this doors.def file, GAMES does not allow for dropped carriers, but the
MAILMGR does since it can be configured to log off users from the door itself.
The BBSLIST does not, and finally, the COMPLAINt door does - it's a door where
users can lodge complaints about the BBS, and if they do, the door hangs up on
them.
HELP?
-----

my BBS, The Cellar Door, at:

PLUGS:
------
If you want to run an excellent BBS, try one of these Major Mods:
Maple - RBBS-MPL.ZIP The Maple Mods - after running these, you will never
216K want to go back to stock RBBS again, they feature
many mods and cosmetic fixes. QB4.5 or PDS7.1 required.
Cellar
Door - RBBS-CDR.ZIP The Cellar Door Mods - (my mods). These mods feature
380K all the Maple mods, since I work with the Maple Mods,
and more. With Scott McNay's Far string mods, you
MUST have Microsoft BASIC PDS 7.1 to compile. Lots
and lots of mods and fixes - the way RBBS oughta be.
Includes all the original RBBS, except Library Support
and MultiLink. "Better'n WildCat" - Annonymous Wildcat
Sysop.
Either of the above two mods will certainly help your BBS, your users,
and you, by using well intergrated and tested mods.
