OVERVIEW
________
THIS FILE MAY NOT BE DISTRIBUTED WITH THE "AV" MISSING!
This ZIP file was created using the -AV function of PKZIP. If
my AV is missing then this file may not be complete of has been
tampered with. Complete and current editions of this program
are always available for D/L on The Parole Board BBS. If the AV
is missing please complain to your sysop to stop the practice of
removing AV's as this is your assurance from the programmer that
the file is complete and virus free.
INSTALLATION
____________
Installation is fairly easy and straight-forward. The following steps and
examples should have you up and running in a very short period of time.
It is assumed that you are familiar with setting up DOORS on your system.
To this end, only examples of the configuration file and Door batch file
are described.
1) Create a directory to hold all SEX TRIVIA files and also create
a sub-dir above the SEX dir named \SCREENS. Place the files in
the SCREENS.ZIP archive into this directory. SEXTRV.EXE will
also create a directory named \USERS when it is run for the
first time. SEX TRIVIA will create a file named PLAYER.DAT in
this directory will all the players information.
2) Unzip SEXTRVxx.ZIP into the above directory. Run INSTALL.BAT.
3) Create a configuration file, with a name of your choice, or
modify the SEXTRV.CFG file that is enclosed.
A description follows:
C:\WILDCAT\CALLINFO.BBS ──┐ <- For Wildcat!
C:\WC30\USERINFO.DAT │ <- For Wildcat! 3.0 (NOTE: point to NODEx dir)
C:\PCB\PCBOARD.SYS │ <- For PCBoard using PCBOARD.SYS only
C:\PCB\USERS │ <- For PCBoard using USERS only
C:\BBS\GTUSER.BBS │ <- For GT Power systems
C:\BBS\DOOR.SYS │ <- For Systems that support DOOR.SYS
C:\BBS\DORINFOx.DEF │ <- For QBBS/RBB/RA. Replace x with Node #.
C:\BBS\TRIBBS.SYS │ <- For TriBBS
C:\BBS\SFDOORS.DAT │ <- For Spitfire
C:\BBS\CHAIN.TXT ───┘ <- For WWIV
The Parole Board BBS <- Your BBS Name
Dennis <- SysOp's First Name
Maidon <- SysOp's Last Name
C:\WC\BULL\BULL1.SCR <- Path and Name of Color Bulletin
C:\WC\BULL\BULL1.BBS <- Path and Name of ASCii Bulletin
125 <- Minimum security level allowed in door.
25 <- Minimum questions needed to be scored.
YES <- (Y/N) Create LOG file
00000 <- Registration Number
35 <- Max. questions allowed per visit to door
N <- WC=WC!3.x PCB=PCBoard N=ANSI/ASCii
2 <- Max plays per day
Edit this .CFG file to suit your individual BBS. All 13 lines MUST
be present.
Line 1: This line points to where SEXTRV.EXE will find the callers
information file. Just include the line that your particular
BBS uses. DO NOT put all of them in the CFG file.
Line 2: Place the name of your BBS on this line.
Line 3: SysOp's first name goes here.
Line 4: SysOp's last name goes here.
Line 5: Enter the complete path and name of the ANSI bulletin that
you want SEX TRIVIA to create. This is also the line where
you will list the name of the bulletin to be created if you
select WC! or PCBoard bulls by placing a "WC" OR "PCB"in
Line 12.
Line 6: Enter the complete path and name of the ASCii bulletin that
you want SEX TRIVIA to create.
Line 7: The minimum security level that is allowed in the door.
Line 8: Minimum number of questions needed to be scored.
Line 9: YES to create .LOG log or leave blank
Line 10: Your Registration Number goes here if registered
Line 11: The maximum number of questions that the user is allowed per
visit to the door. There are only 200 questions so if you
want the users to be able to answer all of them at one time,
put 200 in this line.
Line 12: This line is the switch for the type of bulletins that you
would like created. Place "WC" for WC!3.x bulletins, "PCB"
for PCBoard color coded bulls and a "N" for ANSI & ASCii
bulletins. If you used the WC or PCB, make sure that you
use the ".BBS" filename extension for Line 5. You may leave
line 6 blank, but it must still be in the CFG file.
Line 13: Maximum number of plays allowed each day.
If you use the above CFG file be sure to remove all remarks and use
a pure ASCII editor such as EDLIN or QEDIT. Hidden control codes could
cause the program to depart for worlds unknown.
4) Create a batch file or modify the DOOR.BAT file supplied. A
description of this file follows:
ECHO OFF
CD \DOORS\SEX Location of SEX TRIVIA files
SEXTRV SEXTRV.CFG EXE filename and CFG filename
5) When running in more than one node, be sure to supply a
different configuration name for each node (your choice of name).
EX: SEXTRV1.CFG SEXTRV2.CFG
SEX TRIVIA has been tested under LIVECAT! and performs very well.
NOTE: DoorFrame supports COM 1-4 on the standard IRQ's - COM1/COM3 = IRQ4 and
COM2/COM4 = IRQ3. If you wish to use a non-standard IRQ, add the IRQ
number after the configuration filename. Let's assume your Door is
called FOOBAR and you want to use COM1 and IRQ5. The command line
passed to your Door would be:
FOOBAR FOOBAR.CFG /5
FOOBAR FOOBAR.CFG *5
The /5 tells DoorFrame to use IRQ5 rather than the standard IRQ4 that
is normally used with COM1. No /x parameter is needed for the standard
IRQ's.
Fossil Driver Support
---------------------
DoorFrame supports the use of Fossil drivers. To tell your Door to use the
Fossil driver instead of the standard COM ports, just put /FD on the command
line when running the door. For example:
MYDOOR MYDOOR.CFG /FD
MYDOOR MYDOOR.CFG *FD
indicates that a Fossil driver is present and should be used. If no Fossil
driver is detected, DoorFrame will print a message to that effect and exit
the door gracefully.
Environment Variables
---------------------
DoorFrame supports COM 1-4 on the standard IRQ's - COM1/COM3 = IRQ4 and
COM2/COM4 = IRQ3. If you wish to use a non-standard IRQ, add the IRQ
number after the configuration filename. Let's assume your Door is
called FOOBAR and you want to use COM1 and IRQ5. The command line
passed to your Door would be:
FOOBAR FOOBAR.CFG /5 or
FOOBAR FOOBAR.CFG /%IRQ% for the environment variable.
The /5 tells DoorFrame to use IRQ5 rather than the standard IRQ4 that
is normally used with COM1. No /x parameter is needed for the standard IRQ's.
When specifying the location of the system file on line 1 of the doors .CFG
file, you may use the environment variables %pcbdrive%, %pcbdir%, %pcbnode%,
and %wcnodeid%. Some examples:
PCBoard:
USERS.SYS in C:\PCB - %pcbdrive%%pcbdir%\USERS.SYS
USERS.SYS in C:\PCB\NODE1 - %pcbdrive%%pcbdir%\NODE%pcbnode%\USERS.SYS
Wildcat!:
USERINFO.DAT in C:\WC\NODE1 - C:\WC\NODE%wcnodeid%
Non-PCBoard systems may use the PCB environment variables by setting them
in either AUTOEXEC.BAT or in the batch that runs the door. For example:
SET PCBDRIVE=C:
SET PCBDIR=\BBSDIR
SET PCBNODE=1
LOCAL: To run SEX TRIVIA locally, type "SEXTRV LOCAL" at the DOS prompt.
You must run INSTALL.BAT or install SEXTRV first so that all the
files will be in their proper place.
Be sure to read all the READ.ME, README.1ST AND UPGRADE.DOC files
if they are included in the package. They sometimes contain some very
useful information. <G> Of course you can do like me, just set the darn
thing up without the docs then fuss at the door author for not making it
simple enough to work the first time.
When a user first log onto 'SEX TRIVIA' the program checks his
security level to make sure that he has a high enough level to enter the
door.
