user receives ansi)
IBM XT/AT/386
BBS that makes one of the following Drop File's
CALLINFO.BBS
DOOR.SYS
DORINFO#.DEF
This program has been tested on the following systems :
-------------------------------------------------------
WILDCAT 2.x and 3.x,
Gap v4.0 and greater,
PcBoard v14.0 or greater,
QuickBBS v2.6 thru v2.75,
Remote Access.
SuperBBS
Telegard
This program should also work with other DORINFOx.DEF producing BBS's,
such as RBBS and SuperBBS. For other BBS's not mentioned, there are MANY
door conversion utilities available.
This door will also run under Desqview.
Installation Of The Door :
==========================
Step One :
----------
First create a directory for the program and place all the files into
that directory.
i.e. C:\WILDCAT\DOOR\MATCH (whatever your DOOR directory will be)
Step Two :
----------
Use the install program to configure the configuration file to meet
your specifications.
Contents Of The Configuration File :
------------------------------------
Line one is the path to your door, which should be the same as the path
you created in STEP ONE.
Line two is the name of your BBS.
Line three MUST be left alone. It should be set to 0 (zero).
Line four is the name that you use on your BBS.
Line five is where you specify if you are running at Lock Baud or not.
If you are running Lock Baud then enter the Baud Rate... i.e. 9600, 19200,
etc.... Or enter 0 (zero) for none.
Line six is where you specify what type of BBS you are running.
WC2 - Wildcat 2.x (CALLINFO.BBS)
WC3 - Wildcat 3.x (DOOR.SYS)
GAP - Gap Systems (DOOR.SYS)
Dorinfo#.def - QBBS, RA, RBBS, SBBS (DORINFO#.DEF)
The # is replaced with the numerical value for the Dorinfo drop file
Line seven is where you specify what the ansi file path and name will be
for the TOP 10 Bulletin.
Line eight is where you specify what the ascii file path and name will be
for the TOP 10 Bulletin.
Here is the completed file :
----------------------------
C:\WILDCAT\DOOR\MATCH
The Lighthouse BBS
0
Danny Davis
19200 or 0 (zero) for none
WC3
C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULL1.ANS
C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULL1.ASC
BBS Batch Files :
=================
WILDCAT 2.X (CALLINFO.BBS) :
----------------------------
CD\WILDCAT\DOOR\MATCH
COPY C:\WILDCAT\CALLINFO.BBS
MATCH
15BULL
CD\WILDCAT
CAT
CALLINFO.BBS has to be copied to the game path. If it doesn't find the
CALLINFO.BBS file then it will exit back to the BBS. Will also show the
user a error code.
WILDCAT 3.X (DOOR.SYS) :
------------------------
This will run the same as above except instead of copying CALLINFO.BBS
you'll copy the DOOR.SYS file.
QuickBBS & DORINFO#.DEF (a Type 15 for QuickBBS) :
---------------------------------------------------
You may specify up to nine different DORINFO#.DEF's by using the
install program.
D:
CD\DOORS\MATCH
COPY C:\QBBS\DORINFO2.DEF
MATCH
15BULL
C:
CD\QBBS
GOTO RESTART
DORINFO#.DEF has to be copied to the game path. If it doesn't find the
DORINFO file, then it will exit back to the BBS.
To run a type 7 (for QuickBBS), simply put the MATCH.BAT file in the
QuickBBS directory, using "*C /C MATCH.BAT" in the optional data line in
the type 7 menu. (there are other ways to do it, this is the easiest).
GAP and PCBOARD :
-----------------
C:
CD\DOOR\MATCH
COPY C:\GAP\DOOR.SYS
MATCH
15BULL
CD\GAP
GAP
Maintenance :
-------------
Also enclosed is a maintenance file that needs to be ran
once a day to keep the player.dat file clean. By passing
a number value from 8-30 you can specify how many days you
will allow a user to stay in the door before being deleted.
i.e. "MAINT 17" this allows 17 days before a player is
deleted for non-use
15BULL :
--------
This file can be ran each time the door is exited or as a
nightly event. I recommend after the door exits. It will
make a ANSI and a ASCII Bulletin from the information you
specify in your installation module.
Page and Comm Control Files :
-----------------------------
Read the PAGE.CTL and COMM_IRQ.CTL files and configure it
to meet your needs.
Local Mode :
------------
To run the game in LOCAL mode just type /LOCAL after the
MATCH.EXE on the command line "MATCH /LOCAL".
Multi - Line BBS :
------------------
Well this is a rather simple task. When you run the install
program you can pick upto 4 different configuration files.
To run this door as a multi door all you need to do is place
the following statement:
MATCH MATCH1.CNF
And so on for the rest of the configuration files. The
reason for this is so you may specify the different
LOCKBAUD rates for each node.
Support BBS :
-------------
The Lighthouse BBS
209-442-8329
Fido Net 1:205/75
US ROBOTICS DUAL STANDARD
Registration of this door will cost you $15.00 plus shipping
and handling. With your registration you will receive a key file
that will work with all future versions of MATCH 15.
