- Batch file setup:
-
- Example:
-
- cd\doors\maze
- maze maze.cfg
- cd\pcb
- board
-
- Here are some additional options available to use on the command line:
-
- LOCKED:xxxxx - Forces Dooor Source to lock the modem at the
- speed given.
- LOCAL - Forces Door Source to run in local mode. This
- is really meant for testing purposes, but it
- still reads the configuration file, but doesn't
- read the bbs interface file.
- NETWORK - Forces file sharing to be active incase you
- are using something other than SHARE to manage
- file locking.
- IRQ=n - Lets you change the IRQ used for the com port
- specified in the bbs interface file.
- (See below for more information)
- ADDR=&Hnnnn - Lets you change the address used for the com
- port specified in the bbs interface file.
- (See below for more information)
- PS2 - Forces the PS/2 IRQs and addresses if a PS/2
- isn't detected (Normally it is, but you can't
- always tell!)
- RBBS - Forces Door Source into RBBS/QBBS mode
- WILDCAT - Forces Door Source into Wildcat 2.0 mode
- DOORSYS - Forces Door Source into 31-Line DOOR.SYS mode
- PCB121 - Forces Door Source into PCBoard 11.8/12.x mode
- with COM 1 active
- PCB122 - Forces Door Source into PCBoard 11.8/12.x mode
- with COM 2 active
- PCB14 - (DEFAULT) Forces Door Source into PCBoard 14.x
- mode
-
- Example type: maze maze.cfg local
- This will allow you to play the game locally without a BBS.
-
- When you use the IRQ or the ADDR option, you must include the other.
- You can't use just the IRQ and not the ADDR, and you can't use just
- the ADDR and not the IRQ. Here's a chart with the STANDARD IRQs
- and addresses for the PS/2s and IBM PCs:
- Non PS/2
- Com port IRQ Address
- 1 4 &H3F8
- 2 3 &H2F8
- 3 4 &H3E8
- 4 3 &H2E8
- 5-8 4 &H3F8

- Daily Maintance:
-
- No modification of your daily maintance is required since Murder Mansion

- Maintance is very short and should not delay the play by that call
- very much.
-
