EAGLE CALLBACK DOOR USER'S GUIDE
Version 2.0
November 01, 1990
Welcome to version 2.0 of the Eagle CallBack Door !! This door
represents several years of development. Eagle CallBack Door
version 1.0 was release in September 1988 and has had a very
successful track record. The original door was written in Turbo
Pascal 4.0 and used Sam Smith's excellent door developers door kit
ProKit. This latest version has been totally rewritten in Turbo
C++, basically for two reasons. First we had a nasty crash of one
of our systems last year and lost all of the pascal code to ALL of
our door programs. Second, I like pascal alot, but am expanding my
programming ability and use 'C' often in my regular job for uncle
sam, as well as ADA and X-Windows and decide to try 'C++'. Plus I
had the first-rate help of my co-sysop Bob Rinker to help me around
some of the tight spots of the code during development. "Bob knows
'C' !" but I don't thing "Bo does"! Also I want to add that the
door would have never gotten off the ground if it wasn't for Rickie
Belitz of Maryville, Tennessee and his great 'C' door developers
kit called "CKIT". For those that are interested, Rickie can be
reached at his BBS in Tennessee (615) 982-6512. He has some other
great 'C' utilities too besides door kits. Eagle CallBack Door
version 2.0 like all the rest of the EagleWare software products
are FREE, however if you'd like user support, and free upgrades
then a one time fee of $15 would be appreciated for my work.
WHAT IT IS:
Eagle CallBack Door is a easy and quick way to help users who
experience line noise. Basically, if a user is experiencing line
noise and can make it to the door, having your BBS call them back
might increase the chances of connecting with a clean line. The
CallBack door will make ONLY local calls. It is for use with
PCBoard (tm) BBS systems. It is currently compatible with PCBoard
version 14.5 ONLY ! If you have used other door programs then setup
and configuration is relatively easy for the experienced SysOp.
Those who already are using previous version of Eagle CallBack
should also have no problems.
UPGRADE INFO:
Those SysOps already using previous versions of Eagle CallBack Door
should start off from scratch and make a new directory for which to
install v2.0 of the door.
MAJOR FEATURES:
* Prefix database file to "lock-out" certain prefix numbers from
being used, such as 976, 911, etc.
SETUP:
See the SETUP.DOC file too for more information.
First create a directory for the door.
Example: MD C:\PCB\DOORS\CALLBACK
Copy the Eagle CallBack ZIP file into the newly created directory and
unZIP it.
Example: PKUNZIP ECD20.ZIP
The PKUNZIP will extracting from within the ZIP file. Once the
files are all unZIP'ed take time to check over the *.DOC files.
They contain information for use and setup. Run the program
ECCONFIG.EXE to setup how the door will function and operate. See
SETUP.DOC for information concerning the use of this program.
Next check out the ECALLBCK (no extension) file that is used by
PCBoard to run door programs. You can use this one or create your
own, just make sure you use the example so the door will operate
correctly. Place this file in the same directory as PCB145.EXE or
where ever your PCBOARD main program is located. Modify your
DOOR.DAT or DOOR.LST file to include Eagle CallBack Door as an
external door program. Modify your DOOR and DOORG files as well to
show that Eagle CallBack is now an available Door program for
users. See the SETUP.DOC for an explanation of files used in
conjunction with the door.
CREDITS:
I would like to thank several SysOp's here in Jacksonville, the
Telephone Exchange BBS, Energy Service BBS, C.S.I Giga Free BBS,
ASGARD BBS, HHDC BBS, Generic BBS, System_Support BBS in Atlanta
Ga, for beta-testing this program and for providing an EagleWare
users support conference on some of these FINE boards.
I especially want to thank Kim Namanny (C.S.I. SysOp) and his wife
for putting up with us and the late nights that he and I spent on
the phone (both voice and data) testing the door and pounding at
the keyboards, testing this configuration and that. Without Kim's
help we'd never gotten the door off to a start.
I also want to thank my wife, who's patients is that of a saint and
my to children (Kelly and Josh) who kept me going with the soda and
beer runs to the frig.
Last but certainly not least, Bob Rinker, co-sysop of the Eagle's
Nest BBS here in Jacksonville, Fl. For all his help around all the
tight spots in the 'C' code. The Verify Door and accompanying
programs are the combined efforts of both Rick Prince and Bob
Rinker.
THE FINE PRINT:
Eagle CallBack Door is FREE. However, a $15.00 contribution results
in user support from the program's author, Rick Prince, in the
EagleWare conference on these fine (FREE) BBS systems:
