Notify v1.0
(C) 1992 by Rich Waugh
Notify is a quick and dirty program I threw together to notify my players
about the new Dwarz game being initiated on my board. You could run it to
tell players that a game will be reset on such-and-such a date (for example a
Trade Wars "BIG BANG"). Or you could use it to appeal to callers to help
register the door. Using Notify, you bother ONLY the callers actually using
the door in question.
Run Notify from the directory where you run your door, in the door batch file
directly before or directly after your door. Notify supports Door.Sys and
DorinfoX.Def drop files.
Notify is run with the following syntax: Notify Notify.Cfg
EXAMPLE MainX.Bat (or DoorX.Bat):
@Echo Off
Cd \Doors\Dwarz
Notify Notify.Cfg Fossil
Dwarz
For a quick demonstration, Notify can be run from the command line by
typing: Notify Notify.Cfg Local
EXAMPLE Notify.Cfg
DrawBridge BBS <── The name of your BBS.
RICH <── SysOp's first name.
WAUGH <── SysOp's last name.
C:\Wc30\Wcwork\Node1\Dorinfo1.Def <── Path to & name of DorinfoX.Def (Door.Sys)
1 <────────────────────────────── An integer specifying the type of
Notify.Asc <─┐ handshake you wish to use between the CPU
│ and modem. Valid numbers are:
The name of the text file 0 = NO handshake
to send to the caller. You 1 = XON/XOFF
may edit this file, but 2 = CTS/RTS
no ANSI, please! 3 = XON/XOFF and CTS/RTS
If you don't know what to put here, make
it 0 or 1. CTS/RTS is for high-speed
modems.
──────────────────────────────────────
Command-line switches:
FOSSIL - Enable FOSSIL support. If you do not use a FOSSIL driver (such as
X00 or BNU) do not use this switch.
IRQ=x - Change the default IRQ to "x".
LOCAL - Run Notify in local mode, from the command line.
──────────────────────────────────────
Notify is distributed as NoBitchWare. I'm not charging anything for it, so
you are NOT entitled to bitch about it.
I, for one, am sick and tired of people who solicit money for the dumb little
doors/utilities we all find so indispensable, so this one's a freebie. It is
fully functional and contains no time bombs. I will attempt to keep the
latest version always available for FREQ with the magic name NOTIFY.
If you find Notify handy, give the DrawBridge a call and thank me. If you
hate Notify or don't think you got your money's worth, call the DrawBridge
and page me... we'll discuss it (I also wrote SHAMpage <grin>).
