PCBSlots V2.0 Documentation
By Jeff Jones - The Forbidden Zone BBS
(312) 284-6601 / 1200/2400 Baud Only
===[ About PCBSlots ]========================================================
PCBSlots is a nice Slot Machine Door game. It will allow the users to
play the game and try to out-do the other users. It won't cheat the users,
or anything like that. So there is no reason to worry about it... There
isn't much to say about it, other than try it out, and please call me to
let me know what you think.
---[ FILES THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN ]-------------------------------------
PCBSLOTS.EXE > The Main Door program file.
PCBSLOTS.CFG > The Configuration file for PCBSlots.
PCBSLOTS.SCR > The Score Board - Will be created itself.
PCBSLOTS. > The Door Batch File - To Bring up PCBSlots.
PCBSLOTS.DOC > This Cheap Documentation.
TFZ.DOC > My BBS Advertizement.
---[ LIMITED SOFTWARE LISCENCE ]---------------------------------------------
There is no fee required as of yet to use PCBSlots. All i ask is that
you call my board (The Forbidden Zone), and let me know how you like the
program - please leave the comment in the sysop's support conference.
This program is provided by an AS IS basis. I can not take no
responsibility for any system crashes that may occur - although none should,
this progran does not write to your users file, or any other data file. It
just reads from the PCBOARD.SYS and PCBOARD.DAT (If the user is at 9600 Baud)
---[ WHAT THE CONFIGURATION FILE *MUST* CONTAIN ]----------------------------
You must have the following information in your configuration file,
on the correct line or your program will not run.
Line 1: COM1 --> The Com port that this copy of VOTEDOOR will
be run from. "COM1" or "COM2" *ONLY*
Line 2: D:\BBS\PCBOARD.SYS --> The location of your PCBOARD.SYS file.
Line 3: The Forbidden Zone --> The Name of your BBS.
You may name your configuration file anything you like, but the configuration
file must be in the same directory as the main EXE file.
---[ THE DOOR BATCH FILE ]---------------------------------------------------
In order to run this program as a Door you must add a line to your
DOORS.DAT file containing the name, password, and security for this door.
Then you must create a batch file in your PCBOARD.EXE default directory that
will load the Door then return the user back to PCBoard.
Here is an example of a file - name "PCBSLOTS.":
Echo Off --> Turns the ECHO OFF
C: --> Switches to drive C:
CD\BBS\DOORS\VOTEDOOR --> Goes to the directory containing this Door
PCBSlots PCBSlots.cfg /NETWORK --> Loads VOTEDOOR. You must specify the
name of the configuration file, and if you
are going to run this Door in a network
environment. In this example "Votedoor.cfg"
is the name of the config file and /NETWORK
means that it is running in a Network
environment. Leave /NETWORK out if you are
not running in a network environment.
CD\BBS --> Switch back to the \BBS directory
D: --> Switch to drive D:
CD \BBS --> Goto the directory containing PCBoard.
Echo On --> Turn ECHO back ON
Board --> Load PCBoard.

I would like to thank Clint Labarthe for writing DOORPATCH V2.4 so I didn't
have to spend the time writing my own I/O routines. This saved me time,
so Thanks a lot Clint!
if you have any problems/questions on the code then call my BBS, it was
listed above.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to thank MEMORY TURNER (That's his real name) for helping me
to distribute the code, and for Beta Testing it. His BBS number is:
>>> Turner Technologies BBS <<<

PCBSlots is now 100% Network supportive (I hope). If you see any bugs in the
program please let me know..
My next project will be to add a "Smart Script Questionnaire" type system
to my previous Door - VoteDoor. So watch for this new development!
