Utility Name: Droplist
Purpose: To extract the most USEFUL info from a door.sys file(especially
Wildcat!BBS 3.02 and above) dropfile for use in Batchfiles with
programs that except commandline switches.
Notes: Simple. Copy door.sys to the bbs root directory(where droplist.exe
should be!) and execute! It will generate a file called
doorspec.bat. Call this from you doorX.run or batch file.
The program will kick out a screen which is similar to
doorspec.bat so you can see what happened.
Tips: Assume your program accepts the users NAME on the commandline, you
could run Droplist then your doorx.run/bat file using the %Alias%
variable:
Doorx.run
______________
@echo off
c:
cd\wc30\doors\program
program program.cfg %Handle%
This would create the commandline of program program.cfg followed by
the users alias!
Variables created:
%handle% = Users Handle/Alias
%baud% = Connect rate
%port% = Comm port
%username% = User's full name
%node% = Node Number
%homephon% = Home Phone Number
%seclevel% = Number of security level
%minleft% = Minutes left online
%grmode% = Whether or not remote is using ansi/color modes
%bdate% = Birthdate
%errcorr% = Whether remote has error correction or not
INSIDE, I HAVE INCLUDED A BATCH FILE CALLED CLEAR.BAT. This file is to
be called after the door is done. This will free up all the environment
space used by this program. You might wish to add/ edit your config.sys
to allow more environment space by 256 just to make sure you have enough
free space to execute this.
I wrote this for use on my bbs for a few doors that didn't read too
many dropfile formats, BUT accepted commandline options!
If this file helps you in ANY way, please consider sending a
donation to the author of ANY size. While you're at it, if you register
this I'll email you a key on MSIHQ BBS for my other utility, Wildcat Backup
currently at version 4.4!
