GT List Door
=====================================================================
***** Attention GT Power Sysops! *****

registration or any combination in the registration form. You must

My programs may be on various BBSes around the country under
different archive extensions and types. This is the state of all the
BBSes around the country. I personally like LHARC better, slower but
smaller and suggest you give it a try.
The archive file should contain the following files:
GTLIST.EXE NODELIST.EXE GTLIST.CFG
GTLIST.DOC READ.ME SYSOP.DOC NODELIST.BBS
GTLIST.EXE is the main program. GTLIST.CFG is a sample
configuration file, GTLIST.DOC is this file. SYSOP.DOC is
documentation for Sysop and the READ.ME contains some bug fixes (if
any) and must be included in the archive file that is downloadable on
your system. These files may not be altered in any way.
NODELIST.BBS is the current copy of the text database that GT
List Door converts and used to generate the door's main database.
This can be replaced with later versions of same. NODELIST.EXE is the
program that converts NODELIST.BBS into a usable database.
My archive files no longer contains DORPCH35.EXE and BRUN30.EXE.
This was done to make the file smaller so that it takes up less space
on the host BBS. If you need either the DORPCH35.EXE file or the
patched BRUN30.EXE, they can be obtained from various BBS systems
around the country. The filename for Door Patch is DORPCH35.ZIP. This
door does not run on PCBoard 12+. I have discontinued support for
PCBoard 12+, but these versions are still available upon request.
This door comes with an example GTLIST.CFG. It is supplied to
show you how to set up the configuration file. The file may be
deleted or modified to suit. Please try and limit the limit of your
Sysops names to PCBoard's name length of twenty-seven characters
(total length). No bulletin is generated by this program.
C:\PCB\PCBOARD.SYS
Jim's Graphic BBS

Dude
On a network system you must set up a separate .CFG for each
node. Example: GTLIST1.CFG, GTLIST2.CFG, or whatever it takes on your
BBS. You must then generate the PCBoard calling batch files for each
different node, and in their own directories to separate them.
A typical batch file, GTLIST. might look like this:
ECHO OFF ;turn echo off, not needed
CD \PCB\DOORS\GTLIST ;change to door directory
GTLIST GTLIST1.CFG ;configuration for Node 1
CD \PCB\NODE1 ;return to Node 1
NODE1 ;reload Node 1
A single node BBS would only need one configuration file, but
the steps would be the same.
The program, including Door Patch, uses six buffers, one through
six. Your system must have this many or more. GTLIST.EXE and
GTLIST.CFG must be in the current directory along with the database
and it's indexes.
Registration provides you with the name of your BBS hard coded
into the program to show and acknowledge that it is registered to you
and replaces "Unregistered BBS" notice. Please support Shareware!
Support Programs
NODELIST.EXE
This program is used in conjunction with NODELIST.BBS. It will
extract the data, create and then sort the indexes. The resulting
files must be in the same directory as the door program.
It is suggested that you put the above program in the same
directory as the GTLIST.EXE/.CFG files. Each time there is an update
to NODELIST.BBS, you just put the new file in the door directory and
rerun NODELIST.EXE. The old database files are deleted and replaced
with new ones. After running NODELIST.EXE you can delete
NODELIST.BBS. It is my understanding that this is a weekly updated
file, if so, if could be run in a weekly EVENT.SYS so that the door
is always updated with the most current information.
NODELIST.BBS
NODELIST.BBS is supplied with this door and in no way reflects
the most resent release of this file. It is only supplied in the even
the Sysop installing the door does not have a current copy. It is
suggested that you Edit this file to insure that the information
(especially as it pertains to your BBS) is correct before you run
NODELIST.EXE.
If File Format Changes
If the data file format changes, one free update to the new
format is included with registration. Because of the varied formats
already in existence it is impossible to configure the software to
fit. It a standard format for files is ever achieved, I can do
likewise with the door and the support program(s).
Credit
I have to give credit to Bryan Pike, Sysop of Haven Of Rest, in
Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is Net '079' and Node ID '000'. It was his
suggestion that has made this door possible. He was the beta tester
for this door. Send him E-mail and give him some thanks. (612) 474-
0724.
Other Stuff
If you have comments on the program, please feel free to contact
me. Also, if program errors develope, please contact me at once so
that corrections can be made.
Usable idea's for door programs (games or anything else) will
provide the donor BBS with a free, registered, copy of that
particular program. This is my way of saying "Thank you" for your
program ideas.
At this time the programs are written to work on any computer
with an eighty column screen. I also have other programs such as
Software Review that is used to do reviews on Public Domain, Freeware
and Shareware programs; Movie View where reviews are done on all
kinds of movies; BBS Review where users enter reviews on various BBS
systems; Community Service (Public Service Announcements) that is
used to list local and nearby activities; Music Review for the music
lovers out there to enter their reviews on recordings audio and or
video; Restaurant Review for doing reviews on your favorite eateries;
Wine Review for doing reviews on your favorite wines, goes hand in
hand with Restaurant Review. I also have PCRelay List door that
displays the worldwide Rime nodes just like this one does the GT
nodes.
I have a game called Gotcha! where the user tries to see how
many doors can be picked before you are caught. I also have a game
called Pirate's Cove that is a multi-player program where you can
also join teams. Earlier problems with this program have been
corrected.
