DOOR Setup
Make a batch file to run the DOOR as described in your PCBoard
(R) documentation.
Create a sub directory to place all the files into.
Example:
CD \DOORS\USERBD
USERBD UBD.cfg <== Runs USERBD.EXE passing a parameter
of UBD.CFG
CD \PCB an example of this file is below.
BOARD
Example xxxxxxxx.CFG file:
USERBD UBD.CFG LOCAL will tell the Door to read the configuration file,
but not to use the BBS interface file. UserBD will prompt you for a name,
and if you want to use ANSI graphics. This way, you can test the file in
the LOCAL mode without a PCBOARD.SYS, DORINFO1.DEF, CALLINFO.BBS, or
DOOR.SYS file. If you didn't specify LOCAL, it would look for the bbs
interface file that you gave it.
Configuration File
The configuration file's first four lines is setup up exactly like
most other doors. It should be:
Multi Node systems require a .CFG file for each node.
Full Drive\Path\and name of PCBOARD.SYS
BBS'S name
Sysop's First name
Sysop's Last name
Registeration Number
Type of BBS supported with this door are (PCB14, PCB121, PCB122,
WILDCAT, RBBS, or DOORSYS).
The first line is a drive/path/filename to the bbs interface file,
and the second line is the name of the bbs using the door. The third
line is the first name of the sysop, the fourth line is the last name
of the sysop and the last line is the Registeration Number.
A example of this when filled out would be:
C:\PCB\PCBOARD.SYS <---- BBS System file and path
The HOT BBS Local <---- Your BBS Name
Larry <---- Sysop's First Name
Reeves <---- Sysop's Last Name
000000 <---- Serial Number for registered Users
DOOR Operation
User's Birthday Door in Operation will have the status line on the bottom
of the screen on line 24 and line 25. It will show these things:
1. The caller's baud rate
2. The caller's name
3. Time left in the door in minutes.
4. The name of your door and release version number.
5. Door Source 3.0
6. The time the door was entered, current time and flags if any.

F10 - Start sysop chat
ESC - End sysop chat
ALT-X - Drop to DOS after caller logs off
ALT-N - Sysop next on flag
UBDM.EXE is the Maintenance File and can be used from your
nightly event as:
C:
CD\DOOR\USERBD
UBDM
COPY C:\PCB\GEN\WELL + BDAYS T:\PCB\GEN\WELCOME
COPY C:\PCB\GEN\WELLg + BDAYS T:\PCB\GEN\WELCOMEg
Once you have changed into the Birthday Door's Directory
then we run the Maintenance program which creates the BDAYS File.
This file will have the current Users with a birthday today.
You may then use severy means to merge this file to your Welcome
screen or Logoff etc. Here we have our welcome screens labeled as
WELL & WELLG, then we merge them with the BDAYS file to WELCOME &
WELCOMEG.
If the UBDM has a number placed after it, from 1 to 99 it will
create a AGE file. Such as you might want to know all the users
over 18 for your adult conference or all users over 65 for Free
access. UBDM 18 will create a file called AGE18.DAT, in this
file will be the names of all the users over 18 to the day. If
no number between 1 to 99 is used then the UBDM file will only
create the BDAYS file. This will be the file with todays Birthdays.
