- 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.
