GMon 4.0 Door Organizer, Integrator, & File Conversion.
Copyright (c) 1991 John Morris All Rights Reserved
GMON?
GMon (pronounced Gee, Mon) is a door organizer, and integrator
which will work with almost _any_ BBS program. It performs
what I call 'complete file conversion' which will convert your
BBS programs door interface file into almost any other type of
door interface file, allowing you to run almost any door! GMon
works well with door games, but was designed to allow you to use
_any_ type of door. (mail doors, fax doors, order doors, etc.)
Yes, there are other programs which do similar things as GMon, but
GMon allows you to run all of these doors from one central area,
GMon itself. The user would enter 1 door (GMon) from your BBS (this
cuts down the amount of work you have to do adding or deleting
doors) and then enter all of the other doors from there.
GMon allows you to put all game door bulletins in GMon's bulletin
area, minimizing (or eliminating) the clutter associated with all
of those game bulletins in your BBS.
The features in GMon are too numerous to list in this README file!
GMon is a proven product. It has been used by BBS's for over 4 years
now! Originally designed to work with RBBS-PC only, GMon 4.0 is
a complete rewrite of the program allowing it to work with any
BBS.
WHAT GMON DOESN'T DO
GMon cannot make non-door programs work like doors. There are other
well designed programs which do this, and I didn't want to re-invent
the wheel, so to speak.
If the door you are using modifies a parameter in the door interface
file, GMon currently can't report that modification back to your
BBS. This will be enabled in the next version.
For instance, if you run PCBoard, but decide to use a caller
verification door designed for RA, GMon will not be able to pass back
the updated security level if the user verification succeeds. I'm
working on this right now! (this is MUCH more complicated than it
sounds!)
TO INSTALL GMON
Type INSTALL at the DOS prompt.
You will be put into the GMon editor program (contained in GMON.EXE)
There you will need to start editing various options. The main
options you will want to edit are:
Your BBS Name
Your First Name
Your Last Name
Your Security Level
And edit the security levels for each GMon command. There are a few
commands which are considered 'SysOp' commands, and should have a
SysOp security level.
And you can go from there. It is best that you print out a copy of the
docs, and keep them by your side when you use the editor to familiarize
yourself with all of the options!
To re-enter the editor in the future, you can use the GMON /E command,
or the E)ditor command in GMon itself.

GMon can be registered for $25.
