Never Ending Story 1.32! (C) 1993 Chris Gahan
Written By: Chris Gahan and Chris Portman
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
______________________________________________________
This program is a door which lets users add to a story which other
users can also add to. For example, one user adds the first line, then he
logs off, another user calls, opens the door, and adds another line. So, in
the end, all the users get to contribute to the story until is it a full
blown novel!
If you would like the users to be able to download the story file,
then you may put the DSZ Zmodem protocol from Omen Technologies in the same
directory as the Never Ending Story is and make sure it is called either
DSZ.EXE, DSZ.COM or make your own batch file and call it DSZ.BAT. The Never
Ending Story tries to execute "DSZ" with some parameters, so as long as the
file is named "DSZ" and is executable and accepts the same parameters, then
you are fine. In other words, if you have any external protocol and uses DSZ
parameters (Port x Speed xxxx sz FILENAME.EXT) then you may use any protocol
you would like. I have included the latest version of the Graphical Zmodem
by Omen Technologies to make the installation even easier!
This program works by using a file called "STORY.TXT". If this file
does not exist, then the program will create it. This file is the story that
the users can add to. If you want to clear the story currently in the door or
you would like to get rid of a stupid bit some twit put in to be annoying,
simply edit "STORY.TXT" with any standard ASCII text editor (For Example: DOS
5.0's EDIT.COM) and change what you like, or to erase the story, delete the
story file "STORY.TXT".
To install this program as a door in a TeleGard BBS, make a new menu
item, and have it configured to something like this:
1. Long descript :(N)ever Ending Story
2. Short descript:(N)ever Ending Story
3. Cmd letters :N
4. ACS required :s20
5. Cmdkeys :DD
6. MString :NES.BAT (or whatever you use to load it)
Flags :None
Q. Quit
The batch file could look something like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
@ECHO OFF
CD C:\NES
NES.EXE C:\BBS\DORINFO1.DEF
CD C:\BBS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This would work if your BBS is in the directory named "BBS" and the
Never Ending Story door was in the directory called "NES". You may alter this
to suit your needs. It is merely an example.
To chat with the current user online, the SysOp can press the "F10"
key to enter chat, and can press the "ESC" key to exit. The chat currently
only works if the user is in the main menu. (i.e. Not viewing the story,
entering a line, etc.)
