OOINFO - Operation: Overkill II BBS Converter Program
~~~~~~
Copyright (c) 1990 Dustin Nulf and Tom Hazel (Development in Progress)
All Rights Reserved
This program is used in companion with the Overkill II door game. OOINFO
reads in the BBS information of the user (name, time left, baud rate, etc.)
and creates a separate file called BBSINFO.OO, containing all the necessary
information for OOII. The command line is:
C:>OOINFO bbstype \directory\ node
In the "bbstype" field, you must enter a number for the representing bbs
systems:
1 - SpitFire (SFDOORS.DAT)
2 - Gap/Wildcat 3.0 (DOOR.SYS)
3 - GT Power 16.0 (GTUSER.BBS)
4 - PCboard 14.5 (PCBOARD.DAT)
5 - RBBS (DORINFOx.DEF) { where x represents the node }
6 - WildCat! 2.x (CALLINFO.BBS)
7 - WWIV (CHAIN.TXT)
8 - Phoenix (INFO.BBS)
9 - GT Power 15.1 (GTUSER.BBS)
10 - RemoteAccess (DORINFOx.DEF) { where x represents the node }
11 - QuickBBS (DORINFOx.DEF) { where x represents the node }
12 - SearchLight (CONFIG.SL2)
The directory must be fairly short in length (less than 40 characters).
Cut off the pathname if your directory line exceeds 40 characters. Avoid
using a PATH specification if at all possible. ALWAYS end the directory
field with a '\'. If not, the program will be unable to find the correct
file.
Node numbers are only needed for bbs types of 5,10,11 (RBBS/RA/QuickBBS).

Notes:
~~~~~
*GT Powercomm systems do not provide the ComPort in the data files they
create. In effect, the node field must be replaced by the Com Port on
the command line.
For example, GT Powercomm 16.0 running on a Com Port of 2.
OOINFO 3 \GTBBS\ 2
...or just replace the "2" with "1", whichever setting is your ComPort.
Telegard BBS does not create its own drop files but can emulate other
BBS dropfiles. To emulate a DORINFOx.DEF dropfile, use the 'DD' command
for Telegard systems. This dropfile is equivalent to QBBS's drop file,
which is a type 11. See above for setting up QBBS with OOINFO.
