Introduction:
What it is anyway?:
The Door of Erudition is a bulletin writer. With a few special twists.
1) Creates a Ascii and Ansi Bulletin for Logon.
2) Creates a Ascii and Ansi Bulletin Log File.
3) Bulletins are Shown One at a time in Log File.
4) Full Hot-Key Support.
5) Full Word-Wrapping Support.
6) Bulletins with a 10 line maximum limit.
6) Fossil Driven. (Must have Fossil Loaded)
*7) Writes the Bulletin Log Files in REVERSE ORDER.
*8) Maintenance File that allows you to set a specific number of bulletins
to preserve in the Log Files.
* - Registered Version Only
PAYMENT:
The Cost of a registered version of Erudition is $10.00.
This will allow you to be able to write the bulletins of the log file in
reverse order. This is a NICE feature seeing as the most recent
Bulletins are shown first, and so on.
Along with the registered version, you will receive a maintenance utility
that allows you to trim the Ascii and Ansi Log files to a specific number
of previous bulletins.
For an Additional charge, the Door of Erudition CAN be made to cosmetically
match your BBS. I will work with you to create your own CUSTOM version.
Getting Erudition Started:
Menu Type 7 Optional Data Field Contents:
* /c \RA\Bulletin.Bat
Bulletin.Bat:
Cd \doors\Bulletin
Bulletin.Exe
Cd \ra
* NOTE * - You DO NOT have to specify the Bulletin.Cfg File on the
command line!
* Erudition supports QuickBBS and RemoteAccess 1.1x
* Has Been tested with Bnu.Com Fossil Driver and X00.Sys.
* Erudition needs (3) bbs files to operate correctly:
1) DorinfoX.Def
2) ExitInfo.BBS
3) UserOn.BBS
* IF YOU GET A MESSAGE THAT A FILE IS READ PAST END OF FIELD, THAT MEANS
YOU ARE NOT RUNNING REMOTEACCESS 1.1X!
SYSOP.DOC Sunday, November 17, 1991 Page 3
* Erudition File Formats are as follows:
Bulletin.Cfg:
D:\Ra\ > Path to ExitInfo.BBS, Dorinfo1.def & UserOn.BBs
D:\Ra\TxtFiles\Bullet1.Ans > Path & Name of ANSI Bulletin File
D:\Ra\TxtFiles\Bullet1.asc > Path & Name of ASCII Bulletin File
15 > Text Color for TOPIC LINE PROMPT
14 > Text Color for line #1 of BULLETIN (Only In Door)
13 > Text Color for line #2 of BULLETIN (Only In Door)
12 > Text Color for line #3 of BULLETIN (Only In Door)
11 > Text Color for line #4 of BULLETIN (Only In Door)
10 > Text Color for line #5 of BULLETIN (Only In Door)
9 > Text Color for line #6 of BULLETIN (Only In Door)
8 > Text Color for line #7 of BULLETIN (Only In Door)
7 > Text Color for line #8 of BULLETIN (Only In Door)
6 > Text Color for line #9 of BULLETIN (Only In Door)
5 > Text Color for line #10 of BULLETIN (Only In Door)
The Text Color for the TOPIC LINE PROMPT is not configurable for the bulletins.
This is just the color of the text that is shown inside of the door itself.
Same thing goes for the Text Color of the BULLETINS. This is ONLY the color
that is shown inside of the door!
Now if this may seem a little confusing, let me try to help. First you
should do is edit the Bulletin.Cfg file lines 1-3, these are very important to
proper operation of the door. After you have done that, try the door with the
default Bulletin.Cfg file. The Color options will be obvious once you have
done this. These are just the colors that are shown to the User while they
are inside the door, these ARE NOT what is written to the bulletins. The
bulletins have their own formats, which at this time, are not configurable.
* Color Numbers, what do they mean?
Simple:
0: Black 6: Brown 12: High Intensity Red
1: Low Level Blue 7: Low Level White 13: High Intensity Magenta
2: Low Level Green 8: Gray 14: High Intensity Yellow
3: Low Level Cyan 9: High Intensity Blue 15: High Intensity White
4: Low Level Red 10: High Intensity Green
5: Low Level Magenta 11: High Intensity Cyan
If you use any number HIGHER than 15, the color WILL default to 7.
