PLEASE NOTE: You should still read over the file FAXDOR17.DOC to ensure
you are familiar with all aspects of this door. This QuickGo.Doc is only
meant to provide you with a quick and easy method of installation. In
order to ensure correct program operation please take the time to read
over the complete documentation; it may save you some time!
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ First Time Installation │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Step 1)
──────
Your fax card should already be installed and configured for use.
Your BitFax software should already be installed and configured for use.
I recommend setting your redials to 2 only.
Step 2)
──────
Copy the contents of this ZIP file into your BitFax directory. The
Fax-Door must run from inside the same directory as BitFax.
Step 3)
──────
Edit DOOR.BAT and FAX so the correct drive letters and paths are in place
for your system. Leave DOOR.BAT in the door subdirectory, and copy FAX
into your \PCB directory.
Step 4)
──────
Set up and configure DoorPatch. This release uses DoorPatch 3.8 and it
operates a little differently than previous DoorPatch releases. Here
is all you need to do:
Unzip the DoorPatch 3.8 package into a subdirectory.
Two environment variables must be set in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
SET LIB=<drive:><path to DORPCH38.EXE> Note: ONLY the PATH!
Example: SET LIB=C:\MYLIB
The DORPCH38.EXE run-time library and DOORPCH.CFG files must then
be placed in this directory. I'd suggest a separate directory.
SET DOORPCH=PCB This variable is required by prior versions
of DOORPCH, but not by DORPCH38.EXE.
Create DOORPCH.CFG in the same directory where you placed the DoorPatch
3.8 files. The data in this file lets you setup DoorPch for your BBS.
This is not the same as FAXDOOR.CFG - this is a separate configuration
file used to configure DoorPatch 3.8.
Line #1 => PCBoard (The type of BBS software used)
Line #2 => The Phantom BBS (The BBS's name)
Line #3 => Gerry (Sysop first name)
Line #4 => Freymann (Sysop last name)
Line #5 => Y (Do you have DOS's Share.exe loaded?)
Line #6 => Y (Y or N - Do you want PCBoard's "@" macros?)
Line #7 => N (Y or N - Do you want to hear music?)
Line #8 => 18:00-23:00 (Hours available for chat)
Step 5)
──────
Edit your DOORS.LST file and include the FAX door.
Edit any Menus or Door screens.
Step 6)
──────
Make sure a copy of DSZ is available in your PATH= statement, or in the
door subdirectory.
Step 7)
──────
Edit the *.TXT files to suit your individual taste. You MUST do this
as they currently contain my name and address.
Step 8)
──────
Print out the REGISTER.FRM and think about registering this product
someday soon ;-) !
Step 9)
──────
Once operational, please read the full documentation!
