You are allowed to operate this program for a trial period of thirty (30) days. After this trial period, you must register this program or discontinue its usage. Again if you do not agree with this then do NOT use this program. ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── REQUIREMENTS ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── A fidonet RAW nodelist is required or compatible nodelist. At this point in time the only requirements are FILES=10 (or more) in your CONFIG.SYS file and ANSI.SYS. SHARE.EXE must also be loaded if you intend to use the door in a multi-node environment OR under DesqView. The door is 100 percent ANSI, ASCII, AVATAR, RIP and MAX aware. A FOSSIL IS NOT REQUIRED to run this door unless you are using a DigiBoard or other type of intelligent I/O Card. If your running in a VDM window under OS/2/Win95 or WinNT then dos SHARE is NOT required. ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── INSTALLATION - INSTALL ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 1. Create a directory for the door (example: "C:\DOORS\NODEVIEW"). 2. Copy all the contents of this archive into that directory. 3. a.) Run the door CONFIG.EXE configuration program for each node to configure all your communication params. b.) Run the the SETUP.EXE program to configure your defaults for all the Nodeview settings. 4. To insure proper multi-node use in a DOS based multi-tasking environment, SHARE.EXE must be installed prior to the door, and prior to the OS. 5. In order to run the door program online, the following parameters may be used. For a list of all available command line parameters, simply execute the program with no parameters.... "/D={Node Work Path}\DOOR.SYS" - This tells the program to use the DOOR.SYS drop file and the {Node Work Path} points to the proper directory where the drop file is to be created or found. "/R={Node Work Path}\DORINFO#.DEF" - This tells the program to use the DORINFO#.DEF drop file and the {Node Work Path} points to the proper directory where the drop file is to be created or found. "/S##### (Where ##### is the user's actual baud rate) - This specifies the online caller's actual baud rate. You use this parameter to force a new baud rate if you are running the door with the DOOR.SYS drop file and would like to force the door to use the actual baud rate rather than the locked port speed. This will let the door calculate download times more accurately. "/N#" (Where # is 1..?) - This specifies a "Node Number". "/L" - This tells the door to load up in LOCAL mode. 6.) Create your NODEVIEW.BAT file, or edit the one given. 7.) Edit the DOWNLOAD.BAT for your configuration ONLY IF you want to use ALL external protocols and you chose external in Setup! Otherwise do NOTHING and just setup Nodeview to use the internal protocols in the setup program. 8.) That's it! Enjoy and good luck. ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Control File Editor ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ░░┌─────────────────── Editing Control File for Node 1 ───────────────────┐░░ ░░│ Sysop First Name:»The_________________ │░░ ░░│ Sysop Last Name: SysOp_______________ │░░ ░░│ Name Of This BBS: The BBS_________________________________ │░░ ░░│ Sysop Security: 500__ │░░ ░░│ Serial Number: __________ │░░ ░░│ BBS Home Path: C:\SHOTGUN\_ │░░ ░░│────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── │░░ ░░│ Using Fossil: Y Input Buffer Size: 512_ │░░ ░░│ Locked Port Rate: 38400_ Output Buffer Size: 1024 OK ▄│░░ ░░│ Digi Override: N Non-Standard Port: N ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀│░░ ░░│ Comm Data Bits: 8 Comport Number: 1_ Cancel ▄│░░ ░░│ Comm Parity: N Port IRQ Number: 4_ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀│░░ ░░│ Comm Stop Bits: 1 Port Hex Address: 03F8 Help ▄│░░ ░░│ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀│░░ ░░└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘░░ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ SysOp First Name: Self Explanatory SysOp Last Name: " " Name Of This BBS: " " SysOp Security: Set this to the same numeric value as the sysop security level on your BBS. Serial Number: Enter the serial number here that you are issued when registering this program. Repeat this step for every node. BBS Home Path: Enter the path to your BBS home directory here. This has nothing to do with drop files, the path to your drop files is passed on the command line. this is used so this program can locate your BBS system data files. Using Fossil: Are you using a fossil driver? [Y/N] Locked Port Rate: Enter the speed here in which your comport is locked at. Note: If you are using a fossil driver this must be no higher than 38400 baud. I have yet to see a fossil driver that doesn't ignore locked port rates set higher than 38400 baud. Activate FIFOs: Do you want this program to use modem FIFOs? [Y/N] Comm Data Bits: Set to the same as your BBS's Data Bits setting. Comm Parity: Set to the same as your BBS's Parity setting. N=None, O=Odd, E=Even Comm Stop Bits: Set to the same as your BBS's Stop Bits setting. Input Buffer Size: Set this to the same as your BBS or fossil driver. Output Buffer Size: Set this to the same as your BBS or fossil driver. Non-Standard Port: Are you using a non-standard IRQ setting? [Y/N] Comport Number: The comport number for this node (If Non-Standard). Port IRQ Number: The IRQ number for this node (If Non-Standard). Port Hex Address: This port's address in hex (If Non-Standard). ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Sample Batch Files For Running The Door ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── CD\DOOR NODEVIEW.EXE /D=C:\BBS\NODE1\DOOR.SYS CD\BBS EXIT or: CD\DOOR NODEVIEW.EXE /N2 /S14400 /R=C:\BBS\NODE2\DORINFO2.DEF CD\BBS EXIT ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── CUSTOM SCREENS: ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── All Ansi screens can be configured to your liking.. Before you do this backup all the original screens! To make your own screens use your favorite Ansi editor (Thedraw) or whatever. The file SCREENS.ZIP has all the screens used by Nodeview just incase! All screens must be saved as 20 Lines!! This is very important for proper cursor control or display.. To do this in Thedraw you first make your screen no larger then 20 lines and then save it by marking the entire screen as a block down to line 20, then you just hit 'S' in Thedraw to save it as a 20 line screen, it's that easy.. Please conform to the original screen names and all screens must be kept in the Nodeview home directory to display.. CURSOR CONTROL KEYS ARE HARD CODED AND MUST LINE UP IN THE SAME POSITION ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── WHAT TO DO IF THERE ARE PROBLEMS ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Every effort is made to ensure that the game runs correctly before it leaves my BBS as Shareware. If you are experiencing problems please do the following BEFORE calling me: 1. Read ALL the SYSOP.DOC to ensure you have setup the program and have met all the program requirements. 2.
