TM ver 1.01
First Released 25 Oct 1991
TM is a magazine reader door written for particular use with Telecomputing
Magazine used in a WildCat! 3.0 BBS. It uses the DoorFrame Library by
Ted Freeman (405-528-8610) and therefore has built in capacity to run with
other BBS systems quite adequately. It has only been tested on WC systems.
Starting TM.
Use a batch file to start TM with the appropriate configuration file.
These lines assume you are running your doors in a Shell rather than
Terminate and Exit.
cd \wc30\doors\mrdr
tm tm.cfg
Support is provided for ports COM1-4 on standard IRQs COM1/3 on IRQ4 and
COM2/4 on IRQ3. If you wish to use a non-standard IRQ, you may add the IRQ
number in a switch on the command line. Say for example you want to use COM1
and IRQ 5 in the example above;
tm tm.cfg /5
The COM port is determined from the caller info file specified in tm.cfg and
/5 says to use IRQ5 instead of the standard IRQ.
Configuration File
Name the configuuration file anything you like. It is passed to TM on
the command line. The file structure is;
c:\pcb\pcboard.sys <- for PCBoard systems using PCBOARD.SYS only
c:\pcb\users.sys <- for PCBoard systems usinf USERS.SYS
c:\bbs\callinfo.bbs <- for WildCat! systems (pre v3.0)
c:\bbs\door.sys <- for systems supporting DOOR.SYS
c:bbs\dorinfoX.def <- for QBBS/RBBS/RA. X = node number
c:\bbs\sfdoors.dat <- for Spritfire systems
AZCAD BBS <- BBS name
Tony <- Sysops first name
Zilles <- Sysops last name'
TM <- Magazine code
5 <- Seconds delay for On-Line Reader display
Use only one of the caller info file lines, the one that is appropriate to
your system. WildCat! 3.0 users should use DOOR.SYS. The line will probably
look something like c:\wc30\wcwork\node1\DOOR.SYS.
BBS and sysop name fields are straight forward.
The magazine code allows TM to read different magazines depending on this
code. The door was originally written to read Telecomputing Magazine (TM).
To do so, the Telecomputing Magazine files must be named;
TM.IDX <- Index
TM1 <- First story
TM2 <- Second story
.
.
.
TM10 <- Tenth story
Bobs Magazine might have a BM code. Rampant Rats magazine might be RR.
The limit is 10 stories. The index file lists the stories with a number.
Seconds delay is an integer between (0-15) to time the hardcoded initial
display.
Problems
Please let me know if you have any problems. No promises, but I will attempt
to fix anything that malfunctions.
