What Is It? :
==========
LOCKDOOR is a utility that will lock a door xx minuets
before an event.
How LOCKDOOR Works:
==================
LOCKDOOR reads Door.sys and calculates the time remaining
until your next event. If the time remaining is equal to or
less than the xx minuets that was specified on the command
line, an errorlevel of 10 will be returned to DOS. The error-
level is then checked by your door batch file. In the example
door batch file below, if the errorlevel is 10 then it will
go to the LOCK label, copy DOORLOCK.TXT to PCBDoor.txt and
reload the board. PCBoard will then display DOORLOCK.TXT
to the user. If the time remaining is greater than the time
specified on the command line an errorlevel of 0 is returned
to DOS therefore by passing the LOCK and opening the door.
Setup:
=====
1.) Place LOCKDOOR.EXE in a directory in your path.
2.) Place a registered PCBEvent.key in each nodes directory.
3.) Edit each door batch file that you want to use LOCKDOOR on.
(see batch file examples).
4.) Place and edit a LOCKDOOR.TXT (or any Path\FileName) in a directory
(see example).
5.) Setup (re-setup) the door in PCBSetUp (see example).
6.) Please let me know if you like LOCKDOOR!

Comments:
========
LOCKDOOR was constructed due to a need on Blue Light BBS
in Columbus Ohio. LOCKDOOR was written due to some doors
not checking the next event time and therefor over running
an event.
*If* you have any problems installing LOCKDOOR or any of
my doors feel free to call me voice ( 614-882-0994 ). I
also monitor the DOOR and UTILITY conferences on Salt Air.
*Note: Please address all correspondence to David Casto when
calling Salt Air or Blue Light BBS.
