╓─────────────────────╖
║ MISCELLANEOUS NOTES ║
╙─────────────────────╜
■ The Printer, Page Bell, and Call Alarm toggles as well as any
changes in caller's Time or Level are written to DOOR.SYS,
CALLINFO.BBS and SFDOORS.DAT.
■ PCBoard's Call Waiting screen and USERS are only updated when using
the USERS.SYS file and not when using PCBOARD.SYS.
■ You may use Environment variables to pass the Path of your system
file to HAWAIIAN TRIVIA. HAWAIIAN TRIVIA will recognize the variables
PCBDRIVE and PCBDIR. Either in your BBS batch file or in
AUTOEXEC.BAT, place the following two statements:
SET PCBDRIVE=C:
SET PCBDIR=\BBS
Substitute your actual Drive and/or BBS subdirectory. Then in
your HTRIVIA.CFG file instead of hard coding it as:
C:\BBS\DOOR.SYS
you would use the Environment variables as:
%PCBDRIVE%%PCBDIR%\DOOR.SYS
This method allows you to use just one HTRIVIA.CFG no matter
which Node is accessing HAWAIIAN TRIVIA.

HAWAIIAN TRIVIA was compiled using Quick Basic 4.5 in conjunction with DFRAME
by Ted Freeman. I highly recommend the use of DFRAME in your door writing as
Ted has made DFRAME do alot of the work for you.
