SUBSF
Version 3.2
Copyright 1993 by Robert Prior
INTRODUCTION
SUBSF is a utility written in Turbo Pascal 6.0 for Spitfire BBS.
It passes the parameters necessary for running a second copy of
Spitfire as a door from the first. Have you ever wondered how you
could allow users to use HANDLES in adult message areas, but have them
use their REAL names in the general areas? Spitfire does not allow
for this by default, but it can be done by using SUBSF and a second
copy of Spitfire. The idea is to set the second SF up as a SUB-BOARD
below the MAIN board. The caller runs the sub-board as he/she would
ANY other BBS door program.
SHAREWARE
SUBSF is Shareware. It is not FREE. You are invited to use it for
a trial period of not more than 14 days. After the 14 days, if you
continue to use SUBSF, you MUST send in the registration fee. The
registration is a mere $10 and for registering it you are entitled to
ALL future releases at no additional charge. Also, you will receive a
serial number which will be written to your SF log file (if the logging
option is selected). I haven't crippled SUBSF in any way. I'm relying
on everyone's conscience to register it if they continue using it.
FILES
The archive, SUBSF32.ZIP, should contain the following files. If any
files were missing or the file sizes are different than those listed,
do not use SUBSF and contact my BBS at (209)826-8021 for an authorized
copy.

INSTALLATION/OPERATION
SUBSF is fairly simple to install. Here are the step-by-step
instructions for installation:
1. UNZIP SUBSF32.ZIP into a directory of its own or into Spitfire's main
system directory.
2. Run SUBSFCFG.EXE and enter the information as prompted. When asked,
"How many security levels", enter the total number of security
levels of your MAIN board that will have access to the sub-board.
You can set Violation Warning Ratio and Violation Enforcement Ratio
as well as MPC, MPD, DLPD and QL for each level having access to the
sub-board. Proceed with entering the relevant data for each level.
3. Using any text editor, edit the file, SUBSF.CFG to comply with your
particular system. The format of SUBSF.CFG is as follows:
Line1: Path to MAIN BBS (ie. C:\SF)
Line2: Path to the sub-board (ie. C:\SFSUB)
Line3: Write 'YES' to have SUBSF log to CALLERS.TMP, write 'NO'
to disable logging.
Line4: Security Levels of the sub-board, one line for each.
.
.
.
Line8: Up to 10 different security levels can be configured.
NOTE: These are security levels of your SUB-BOARD, not the MAIN board.
4. Edit your main SF.BAT to run SUBSF.EXE. Here's an example batch file
to run SUBSF:
:DOOR_A
@ECHO OFF
CD\SF
SUBSF
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO LOOP
CD\SFSUB
CALL SFSUB
CD\SF
GOTO LOOP
Here's an example of your SFSUB.BAT batch file:
@ECHO OFF
:LOOP
C:
CD\SFSUB
CALL DOSUB
IF ERRORLEVEL 58 GOTO LOOP
IF ERRORLEVEL 57 GOTO DOOR_Z
IF ERRORLEVEL 56 GOTO DOOR_Y
.
.
(The rest of the DOOR and EVENT labels)
5. Add the sub-board to Spitfire's SFDOOR.MNU as you would any other
door game or program.
That's about all there is to it. If you run into ANY problems with
SUBSF, I will provide tech-support via my BBS.
