King of the Board ver 8.0
Copyrighted 1989-1992 by Chuck Valecek
Suburban Software
(708)636-6694
NOTICE!!!! If you are running a version that is less than 7.05
then the conversion programs will NOT work with your files. Remove them and
start over from scratch.
Quickie Doc's
Either create a new directory or remove all the files except the KING.USR and
QUESTION.DAT, if you create a new one then copy those files in.
Run DUMPKOB.EXE - It will convert the KING.USR to a text file.
Run DUMPQUES.EXE - It will dump the question file into a text file.
Run BLDKOB.EXE - It will create a new QUESTION.DAT file and a new KING.USR
file for the door.
KOBCFG80.EXE will allow you to create a new config file or you may edit your
old one the choice is yours.
YOU MUST RUN THIS AS SOME OPTIONS HAVE CHANGED OR ADDED.
If you get a error form the door when it executes then the CFG file was not
updated for this version of the door.
The KINGUTL.EXE is all new so before you use any of the options make sure that
the KING.USR and QUESTION.DAT file are properly backed up.
I would recommend to all PCBoard Sysops to use the USERS.SYS file instead
of the PCBOARD.SYS file. To do this go into PCBSETUP Main Conference setup.
Go into the DOORS.DAT file and select the USERS.SYS file in the door setup.

DOOR OPERATION
--------------
F3 - Toggles the printer On/Off.
Value is passed to PCBoard.
F4 - Toggles the Page Bell On/Off.
Value is passed to PCBoard.
F5 - DOS Shell. Allows SysOp to exit to DOS from inside a DOOR.
F7 - Toggles the Caller Alarm On/Off.
Value is passed to PCBoard.
F8 - Returns the caller involuntarily to PCBoard.
Without letting them know that the sysop called them back!

Value is passed to PCBoard.
F10 - Activates SysOp CHAT mode within the DOOR.

HOME - HELP key for status line options.
UP - Allows the SysOp to temporarily give the caller extra time
while in the DOOR. This time is NOT passed to PCBoard.

caller while in the DOOR. This time is NOT passed to PCBoard.
ALT-N - SysOp next on toggle.

ALT-X - PCBoard will exit after current caller logs off.

WATCHDOG/CTTY/ANSI.SYS
----------------------
CTTY and WATCHDOG are not required and should not be used with
this program. SSA contains its own communication routines
which monitor the COM port. If carrier is lost, it will return
to PCBoard where the BBS will log the user off the system.
ANSI.SYS, or something similar, is required for SSA to
function properly!
Thats it for now
