└────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
What Is It?
Page is a simple program used to ask the user WHY they wish
to chat with you, and then proceed to page you just as ProDoor
usually does. It recognizes your Bell and Pager settings from
PCBOARD.SYS. The PROTRNS file is also loaded to translate any
thing you wish (mainly the "Page ends in 30 seconds" message).
Who/What/Why?
This door was written entirely by Greg Parsons. Any questions
regarding the door should be addressed to him at Paradise Cove
BBS (Number shown below). This door was developed using Sam
Smith's EXCELLENT ProKit libraries. Without these, this door
would have never been possible for me. You may ask: "Why would
I use this door when there are several others of it's type out
that have lots more features ?" Simple. I wrote this to AVOID
all those "features". I don't care about any time limits or
number of rings allowed or whatever. Just a plain old pager that
just asks the question "WHY?"

Copy PAGE.EXE into a directory which is in your path.
Create a door batch file for each node.
PAGE
CD\PCB\DOORS\PAGE
PAGE.EXE PAGE.CNF C:\PCB1
BOARD1 (or EXIT in Shell Mode)
The first line must contain three entries in the exact order shown. The
first entry must be the program name (and path if it is not in a
directory in your path). The second entry must be the path and name of the
configuration file, and the third entry must be the path to the
PCBOARD.SYS file. The fourth entry, LOCAL, is optional, and may be used
to run the door from the command line.
The second line must either be the command to restart PCBoard for that
node, or EXIT if the door is a "Shelled" door.
Add the door entry to your DOORS.DAT file by going into PCBSETUP.
Select "J" Main Board Configuration. Cursor down to Doors, (about 5
lines from the bottom). Highlight your DOORS.DAT file and press F2.
Make the following entries:
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ USER DOOR │
│ Filename Password Sec Login SYS SYS Shell Path to DOOR Files│
│1 PAGE 5 N N N N │
│2 │
│3 │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Note. Shell may be set to "S" if you have sufficient memory availablle.
If Shell is "S", then replace "BOARD1" with "EXIT" on the second line of
your PAGE file. Shelled doors are seamless to PCBoard.
