Very Simple Door To Setup
NOTE: If you would like to use the fossil driver mode, then you must
have a fossil driver loaded such as X00, BNU, or OpusComm.
If you cannot find a copy of either, BNU is available on my board
24hrs a day for downloading.
This door will also run with LIVECAT By Steve Cox of The Flight Line BBS in
Lincoln, Nebraska.
The Following Sysop Functions are Available while awaiting keyboard input :
Alt-D - Shell to Dos
Alt-C - Initiaite Chat with user.
Up Arrow - Increase user's time remaining.
Dn Arrow - Increase user's time remaining
When using the [Alt-D] shell to DOS key, to return to the door program, simply
type EXIT at the DOS command prompt. It is not necessary to change directories
back to the door directory. JC is smart enough to know which drive and
directory the door program is in and will reset the defaults upon return from
DOS.
The Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys increase and decrease the user's time
respectively by 5 minutes for each press of the key. There is no indication
of what is occurring (except by the fact the user's time remaining will change)
So the sysop should try not to have a lead finger. The increase and decrease
is effective only while the user is in the door. Since we are firm believers
that the BBS system files belong to the BBS and should not be altered by any
door program, updating the BBS system file is NOT automatic. If you wish that
any decrease or increase in the user's time be made permanently.
** Multi-Line Support **
This game will work perfectly on a multi-lined system, it has all of the
proper file record locking in it so no worries to be desired, but you must
run SHARE.EXE before loading multi-tasking software / or in your autoexec
if running with a network.
