- INSTALLATION OF THE DOOR:
- -------------------------
-
- USING THE INSTALL PROGRAM:
- --------------------------
-
- Use the utility program to configure the configuration file to meet
- your specifications by typing UTILITY INSTALL.
-
- Line 1 - Full Path to the BBS Default Directory (where DOOR.SYS is)
- Line 2 - Name of the BBS
- Line 3 - IRQ for this Port. If running COM ports other than 1 or 2
- this must be the IRQ that will be used for that Port. If
- running on COM 1 or COM 2 or using a DigiBoard, this can
- be set to 0.
- Line 4 - Base Address for this Port (In Hex). If running ports other
- than 1 or 2 this must be the Base Address that will be used
- for that Port. If running on COM 1 or COM 2 or using a
- DigiBoard, this can be set to 0.
- Line 5 - The COM Port Interface to use:
- STANDARD = Regular Communications Port Interface. This
- is what you would normally use.
- DIGIBOARD = Direct DigiBoard Programming Interface. Must
- be used in conjunction with a program called
- RESETDIG.EXE. If you don't have this program
- but have a DigiBoard, then use the following
- option.
- INT14/EBIOS = Indirect DigiBoard Support via a Device Driver.
- All Communications to the DigiBoard (or any
- board that supports INT14/EBIOS) are performed
- via a Software Interrupt that the Device Driver
- handles.
- FOSSIL = If you use a fossil device
- Line 6 - If using a DigiBoard, this is the Memory Window, or the
- address the card uses as a communications area between
- the card and the Host Computer. Only needed if using
- an Interface set to DIGIBOARD. If using STANDARD or
- INT14/EBIOS, can be set to 0.
- Line 7 - If using a DigiBoard, this is the I/O Port address that
- the Board is attached to. Only needed if using an
- Interface set to DIGIBOARD. If using STANDARD or
- INT14/EBIOS, can be set to 0.
- Line 8 - If using a DigiBoard, this is the Channel Number for
- this port on the Digi. This is REQUIRED for DIGIBOARD
- and INT14/EBIOS Interfaces. This is 1 - 8 for the
- DIGIBOARD Interface and usually 4 - 11 for the INT14/EBIOS
- Interface. This number tells the program which of the
- Com Ports on the DigiBoard it should use.
- Line 9 - Will be the SYSOP name
- Line 10 - Drop File That you have
- DOOR.SYS - WC30, Gap
- SFDOORS.DAT - Spitfire
- DORINFOx.DEF - RBBS, QBBS, SBBS
- Line 11 - Baud Rate
- Line 12 - Page Allowed
- 1 = YES 0 = NO
- Line 13 - Maxtime ALlowed Per Session
- Line 14 - Number Of Times Allowed To Play Per Day
- Line 15 - Path For Ascii Hi-Score
- Line 16 - Path For Ascii Hi-Score

- BATCH Files For Various BBS
-
- WILDCAT 2.X and 3.X DOOR#.BAT :
- -------------------------------
-
- CD\WILDCAT\DOOR\4LEAF
- 4LEAF 4LEAF01.CNF
- CD\WILDCAT
- CAT
-
-
- QuickBBS & DORINFOx.DEF (a TYPE 15 for QuickBBS)
- -----------------------
-
- You may specify up to 9 different DorinfoX.def 's by
- selection from within the install program.
-
-
- C:
- CD\DOORS\4LEAF
- 4LEAF 4LEAF01.CNF
- C:
- CD\QBBS
- GOTO RESTART
-
-
- To run as a type 7 (for QuickBBS), simply put the 4LEAF.BAT
- file in the QuickBBS directory, using "*C /C 4LEAF.BAT" in
- the optional data line in the type 7 menu. (there are
- other ways to do it, this is the easiest).
-
- Gap and Pcboard:
- ----------------
-
- DOOR#.BAT
- CD\DOOR\4LEAF
- 4LEAF 4LEAF01.CNF
- CD\GAP
- GAP
-
-
- For Local Players (Non BBS)
- ---------------------------
-
- FOURLEAF.EXE Plus use the /LOCAL command
-
- Maintenance :
- -------------
- Also part of the UTILITY program also allows you to run a
- maintenance program to keep the player.dat file clean. By
- passing a nuber value from 7-30 you can specify how many days
- you will allow a user to stay in the door before being deleted.
-
- i.e. UTILITY MAINT 17 'this allows 17 days before a player is
- deleted for non-use
-
- Bulletin Generator :
- --------------------
-
- This file can be ran each time the door is exited or in a
- nightly batch file. It will make a ANSI and a ASCII Bulletin
- from the information you specify in your installation module.
-
- command ..... UTILITY BULL
-
- Page and Comm Control Files :
- -----------------------------
- Read the PAGE.CTL file and configure it to
- meet your needs.
-
-
- Multi - Line BBS :
- ------------------
- Well this is a rather simple task. When you run the install
- program you can pick upto 4 different configuration files.
- To run this door as a multi door all you need to do is place
- the following statement:
-
- 4LEAF 4LEAF01.CNF
-
- And so on for the rest of the configuration files. The
- reason for this is so you may specify the different
- LOCKBAUD rates for each node. The idea of the 01 would be
- to specify NODE 1. You can have more then the 4 confige
- files, I just choose four since most BBS don't seem to have
- more than 3 or 4 nodes. If you have more than nine nodes
- all you have to do is replace the 0 with the appropiate
- digit. For example 4LEAF10.CNF or 4LEAF33.CNF....
-
- Support BBS :
- -------------
-
- The Lighthouse BBS
- 209-497-6722
- Fido Net 1:205/75 US ROBOTICS DUAL STANDARD
-
- Registration of this door will cost you $15.50 plus shipping
- and handling. With your registration you will recieve a key file
- that will work with all future versions of FOUR LEAF CLOVER.
