OVERVIEW
________
This door was written with Ted Freemans fabulous Dframe modules
This ZIP file was created using the -AV function of PKZIP. If
my AV is missing then this file may not be complete of has been
tampered with. Complete and current editions of this program
are always available for D/L on Terminal Entry BBS. If the AV
is missing please complain to your sysop to stop the practice of
removing AV's as this is your assurance from the programmer that
the file is complete and virus free.
INSTALLATION
_____________
*** Jokes does need the Brun45.exe Module it is a ***
Installation is fairly easy and straight-forward. The following steps and
examples should have you up and running in a very short period of time.
It is assumed that you are familiar with setting up DOORS on your system.
To this end, only examples of the configuration file and Door batch file
are described.
1) Place the Jokes executables in the JOKES door directory
Follow this sample DOOR.BAT file if needed:
@ECHO OFF -----------------> Turns the Echo Off
CLS -----------------------> Clears the Screen
CD\WC30\DOOR\JOKES --------> Change to your BBS's Node home directory
JOKES JOKES.CFG -----------> Run Science Trivia door
CD\WC30 -------------------> Go to the Main doors directory
C:\WILDCAT\CALLINFO.BBS ──┐ <- For Wildcat!
C:\PCB\PCBOARD.SYS │ <- For PCBoard using PCBOARD.SYS only
C:\PCB\USERS │ <- For PCBoard using USERS only
C:\BBS\DOOR.SYS │ <- For Systems that support DOOR.SYS
C:\BBS\DORINFOx.DEF │ <- For QBBS/RBBS/RA. Replace x with Node #.
C:\BBS\USERINFO.DAT <- WILDCAT 3.0!
Terminal Entry BBS <- Your BBS Name
Alan <- SysOp's First Name
Bennett <- SysOp's Last Name
Edit this .CFG file to suit your individual BBS. All 4 lines MUST
be present.
Line 1: This line points to where JOKES.EXE will find the callers
information file. Just include the line that your particular
BBS uses. DO NOT put all of them in the CFG file.
Line 2: Place the name of your BBS on this line.
Line 3: SysOp's first name goes here.
Line 4: SysOp's last name goes here.
If you use the above CFG file be sure to remove all remarks and use
a pure ASCII editor such as EDLIN or QEDIT. Hidden control codes could
cause the program to depart for worlds unknown.
4) Create a batch file or modify the DOOR.BAT file supplied. A
description of this file follows:
ECHO OFF
CD \WC30\DOOR\JOKES
JOKES JOKES.CFG EXE filename and CFG filename
CD\WC30
5) When running in more than one node, be sure to supply a
different configuration name for each node (your choice of name).
EX: JOKES1.CFG JOKES2.CFG
JOKES has been tested under LIVECAT! and performs very well.
The only problem that has risen is the /5 or /7 irq in the Livecat
script file. So I recommend that you don't use it on a non standard
comm port while running Livecat.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JOKES supports com 1-4 and irq 5-7 if your using the irq 5 or 7
just specify it on the command line when invoking the main door..
JOKES JOKES.cfg /5 or /7
This will let JOKES run on a non standard com port..
The /5 and /7 represent the Irq setting on your serial card
