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:
GTPLIST.EXE NODELIST.EXE GTPLIST.CFG
GTPLIST.DOC READ.ME SYSOP.DOC NODELIST.BBS
DOORS.TXT SUPPORT.TXT
GTPLIST.EXE is the main program. GTPLIST.CFG is a sample
configuration file, GTPLIST.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.
DOORS.TXT are current list of all my doors. SUPPORT.TXT is the
current BBS where I do my support from. SKYLINER has these files
posted for downloading as well (a GT Power BBS).
NODELIST.BBS is the copy of the text database that GT Power List
Door converts and uses 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 contain DORPCH38.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 DORPCH38.EXE file or the
patched BRUN30.EXE, they can be obtained from various BBS systems
around the country. The filename for Door Patch is DORPCH38.ZIP.
This door comes with an example GTPLIST.CFG. It is supplied to
show you how to set up the configuration file. The file may be
modified to suit. Please try and limit the limit of your Sysop name
to PCBoard's name length of twenty-seven characters (total length).
The sixth line is for registration serial number. If you change the
"Unregistered BBS" name or serial number it will still come up in the
door as "Unregistered BBS" until you get a registration serial
number. No bulletin is generated by this program.
C:\PCB\PCBOARD.SYS < change to suit your system
Unregistered BBS < changes only take affect with registration
Boss < change to sysop's first name
Dude < change to sysop's last name
Your Sysop < Door Donor's name
0000 < changes only take affect with registration
On a network system you must set up a separate .CFG for each
node. Example: GTPLIST1.CFG, GTPLIST2.CFG, or whatever it takes on
your BBS. You must then generate the BBS calling batch files for each
different node, and in their own directories to separate them.
A typical batch file, GTPLIST. might look like this:
ECHO OFF ;turn echo off, not needed
CD \PCB\DOORS\GTPLIST ;change to door directory
GTPLIST GTPLIST1.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. GTPLIST.EXE and
GTPLIST.CFG must be in the current directory along with the database
and it's indexes.
Registration provides you with a serial number that will let you
enter your BBS name in the second line of the GTPLIST.CFG file. This
number replaces the "0000" in the sixth line of the .CFG file. 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 GTPLIST.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 and may be VERY OLD. It is only
supplied in the event 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
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).
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 ideas 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.
You can get all my door software directly from me by sending me
diskette(s), any PC format, to cover one meg of files, and include a
mailer with return postage. You may include postage and label for a
reusable mailer. See DOORS.TXT in archive!
Registration is for one BBS/Network configuration! More than one
copy may run on a BBS/Network, at one location only.
