- Installation Guide ░
- ──────────────────
-
-
- If you are upgrading from v0.01, simply overwrite the old files
- with the ones in this archive, then run 001TO002.EXE to upgrade the
- DCTLIST.DAT file. After that, delete DCTLIST.CFG and run CONFIG.EXE
- to re-configure DCTList (there were too many changes made to make an
- upgrade program for the configuration file).
-
- Installation is very fast and easy. First of all you must create a
- directory for DCTList to reside in and then run CONFIG.EXE to configure
- it to your system. You may also wish to edit DCTLIST.FLT if you will
- be using the profanity filter. DCTList does not have to be run from
- the directory it resides in, as it automatically looks for all of its
- files in the directory its home directory. Have your BBS call DCTList
- via a command-line similar to "C:\DOORS\DCTLIST\DCTLIST.EXE /PC:\BBS".
- The "/P" parameter is only required if the drop file will not be in the
- current directory when DCTList is run. If your BBS supports memory-
- swapping, it would be a good idea to do so (if you don't, there may not
- ░ be enough memory to shell out to the external transfer protocols).

- Things to look forward to ░
- ─────────────────────────
-
- DCTList is very new and is still in its developmental stages, so
- some features you will see listed in CONFIG.EXE may not work yet. I
- plan to have these options completed in the next version. Most of
- the features that I add to this door are requests made by SysOps, so
- if you would like to see a new feature added to this door, by all
- means send me e-mail and I will try to add in your request. I can
- be reached at dan.traczynski@als.dudd.uniserve.com.
-
- The user logging feature will be completed in the next version as
- well as the BBS database editor in CONFIG.EXE (for now you will have
- ░ to edit the BBS from the door).

- configuration menu in CONFIG.EXE
