SFRBBSDR is a companion SPITFIRE Bulletin Board System program
which can be used to convert door programs written specifically for
RBBS (Remote Bulletin Board Service System) software so they are
compatible with SPITFIRE. Using the SFRBBSDR conversion utility,
RBBS door programs can be set up and run in SPITFIRE either as a
SPITFIRE door program or as one of the optional SPITFIRE Sysop
configurable commands available from the Main, Message or File Menu.
When a caller is logged on a SPITFIRE BBS and elects to utilize
a Door, SPITFIRE creates a file named SFDOORS.DAT. This file
contains necessary user information and must exist for the user to
be able to return to SPITFIRE after running the Door program.
Similarly, when a caller uses one of the Sysop configurable
commands, a SFMAIN.DAT, SFMESS.DAT or SFFILE.DAT is created
corresponding to the menu from which the configurable command
is being executed. Once the caller has returned to SPITFIRE,
the SFDOORS.DAT, SFMAIN.DAT, SFMESS.DAT or SFFILE.DAT file is
erased from the drive.
SFRBBSDR reads the information from SFDOORS.DAT, SFMAIN.DAT,
SFMESS.DAT or SFFILES.DAT and then writes the information to
DORINFO1.DEF. DORINFO1.DEF is a file that RBBS writes when a caller
logged on a RBBS BBS elects to utilize a door. There are many Door
programs written to be used with RBBS that are dependent on the
DORINFO1.DEF file for their operation. By using SFRBBSDR, the
DORINFO1.DEF can be created to allow Door programs written for
RBBS to be used with SPITFIRE.
SFRBBSDR requires some command line parameters. Listed below are these
various switches and there purpose:
/B - This switch tells SFRBBSDR the name of your Bulletin Board.
Example: SFRBBSDR /B Buffalo Creek's BBS
/S - This switch tells SFRBBSDR the Sysop's name. Example:
SFRBBSDR /B Buffalo Creek's BBS /S Mike Woltz
/P - This switch tells SFRBBSDR where to write the DORINFO1.DEF
file. Let's assume that you are going to run the RBBS door
program in a sub-directory of your SF directory named DOOR2.
In that case you would want to use the switch in this manner.
SFRBBSDR /B Buffalo Creek's BBS /S Mike Woltz /P C:\SF\DOOR2
Now lets make an example of running a Door program designed for use
with RBBS. This example assumes the use of SPITFIRE's Door_A and
assumes that the Door program is to be run in a sub-directory of
SF named DOORA. Your SF.BAT file (in part) should look something like
the below listed.
:DOOR_A
SFRBBSDR /B Buffalo Creek's BBS /S Mike Woltz /P C:\SF\DOORA
CD\SF\DOORA
USBBSDOR {NOTE : Name of RBBS Door Program}
GOTO LOOP
:DOOR_B
