SETTING UP DICTATOR
Dictator is not difficult to run or setup. Just follow these instructions:
Make a directory where the Dictator files will reside in and then copy
everything included with this archive into it.
Run the program DINIT. This will create the data files used by Dictator.
If you don't do this then Dictator will not run. When you want to reset the
game simply delete the old data files and run dinit again.
This Program will need BRUN45.EXE, it doesn't have to be patched so
don't worry.
Next you must create the door config file (A sample one has been included,
called DOOR.CNF). Put this into the config file.
---- The Config File ----
Edit DOOR.CNF as follows:
Line 1: D:\GAP ' Where your BBS system files are
Line 2: The Late Night BBS ' BBS Name
Line 3: 0 ' Type of System, 0 = GAP, 1 = PCB
Line 4: Michael ' Sysop's first name
Line 5: Swanson ' Sysop's last name
Line 6: 0 ' Registration code, must be set to 0 if
' you haven't registered
If you are using PCBoard 14 you will need the following files:
PCBoard.Dat ---- (Located in directory specified in Line 1 of config)
USERS. ---- (Automatically located via the PCBOARD.DAT file)
PCBoard.Sys ---- (Located in directory specified in Line 1 of config)
If you are using GAP you will need the following files:
Door.Sys ---- (Located in directory specified in Line 1 of config)
Gapbbs.Cnf ---- (Located in direcotry specified in Line 1 of config)
Multi-User operation is automatic. For GAP, the presence of DUMMY.LOK in
the MAIN directory triggers multi-user operation. For PCB, this information
is derived from the PCBoard.Dat file.

--- Gap Setup Notes ---
Dictator reads the new version of door.sys. Most bbs
systems don't use this version and don't have a file to convert the old
version to the new. I have included a file that will convert the old format
to the new one. Simply run this utility, dorsys, in the same directory
as door.sys is in and it will be converted. If you try to run Dictator
with an old version of door.sys then Dictator WILL NOT run. Also gapbbs.cnf
must be in the same directory as door.sys. Just copy the dummy gapbbs.cnf file
I've included in this archive if you don't run a GAP system.
