The Newton Underground
FREE PRESS BBS (TM)
(617)965 3036
Dear Sysop :
The BBS door herein is a Shareware product. It is FULLY FUNCTIONAL and
is not crippled or incomplete in any way. This door is designed to work with
PCBoard systems, as well as any BBS that can emulate such in their operation
or which has a conversion program like QKDOOR.
It allows users online to view and add to a BBS List, stored in ASCII
Text format, one bbs to each line. It will, using QSORT, maintain the list
according to the BBS phone numbers, and will allow them to view the whole
list or a single area code.
The current version has no system to eliminate duplicate numbers or to
allow deletion of boards from the list from remote. This is initially so to
ensure security and to allow sysops control over the list - Your list can
be maintained on your part by simply using a text editor like QEdit.
Besides the Program and the datafile included in the archive, you need
a copy of Qsort and BRUN45.EXE somewhere within your operations path.
I realize that this program is rather simple in nature, but considering
what some authors charge for a bbslist maintenance door it should come as a
useful thing indeed to you.
To register your copy (and remove the annoying registration note) all
you have to do is call my bbs at 617-965-3036, logon as a user and apply for
Under-Ware customer access, and then upload to my board any bbs door you may
have (NOT CRIPPLEWARE) to share and then you can download the KEY file that
will eliminate the unregistered notices when placed in the BBS directory.
Yes, thats it - all I'm asking you to do is to pass along another door
program to me to register your copy of this program. Why? Well at 2400 baud
it can get expensive for me to look for new files and features for my bbs for
my users and myself. Far too much in the way of funds have been spent in
search for BBSDoors that are not crippleware and/or outrageously expensive
to register. This cuts out the middleman, you get your Under-Ware door
registered and I get a program to work with. It also gets you a chance
to see what my Keep-It-Simple design concept does to give you a good
product with little effort.
Other Under-Ware doors are planned in the future. Not all will be this
cheap to register, but I hope you remember that I'm trying to be fair about
how we operate here.
SETUP NOTES:
Before running the door you must include in your batchfile the
command : SET GAPQBDR=PCB
Make sure that QSORT and BRUN45 are in your pathway
Make sure the main executable, and the BBSLIST.TXT datafile
are in the same direcoty. ALSO modify the CNF file to show the
Path to your Main BBS directory (where your door files should
be found) and Your BBS Name.
