- └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- If Scrawl! isn't working right for you, don't trash it yet! An answer
- may be in this file! This is a collection of many of the questions,
- along with their answers, that we receive about Scrawl! on a regular
- basis.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- Q: Scrawl! keeps telling me that it can't find DORINFO1.DEF
-
- A: DORINFO1.DEF must be in the Scrawl! directory to be read. (You'd
- be surprised at how many people ask us about this!) Simply add a
- line to your batch file saying
-
- COPY D:\RA\DORINFO1.DEF D:\DOORS\SCRAWL
-
- Of course, you'll have to change D:\RA to your BBS path, and
- D:\DOORS\SCRAWL to your Scrawl! path, but you get the idea.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- Q: I'm running a multi-node system, and Scrawl! keeps telling me that
- it can't find DORINFO2.DEF on node 2, or DORINFO3.DEF on node 3!
-
- A: The original idea to the "1" in DORINFO1.DEF was to be the number
- of the current node. However, some BBS systems don't like to make
- anything but DORINFO1.DEF, regardless of what node you're using.
- To remedy this problem, invole Scrawl! with the /1 parameter (i.e.
- change SCRAWL.EXE /N3 to SCRAWL.EXE /N3 /1)
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- Q: I'm running a non-DORINFOx.DEF system (i.e. DOOR.SYS, etc.). What
- should I do?
-
- A: Either
- a) switch to a DORINFOx.DEF BBS system (RemoteAccess and Concord
- are the best, in our opinion)
- b) get a dropfile converter, such as DoorMaster (a great program!)
- c) if you can't find an appropriate converter, contact Mikerosoft
- BBS (number is at the end of this file) for the Turbo Pascal
- source and .EXE file to a dropfile converter (page us or write
- a message while online).
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- Q: How can I enhance (register) Scrawl!?
-
- A: Run REGISTER.EXE, print your form out, and mail it to us with the
- registration fee specified. We'll send you your key by the method you
- select on the form.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- Q: I'm using InterBBS Scrawl!, and some nodes are getting duplicate
- messages -- Or, some nodes aren't getting ANY messages!
-
- A: In INTERBBS.CFG, make sure that each node has one and ONLY one node
- to send to, i.e.
-
- 1 SendTo 2
- 2 SendTo 3
- 3 SendTo 1
-
- So that 1 would mail to 2, but not the reverse. 2 would send to 3,
- and 3 would send everything back to 1 so that he wouldn't get left
- out.
