- Quick Door Setup instructions for Powerboard BBS
-
- A. Install the door as per the instructions that come
- with the particular door you're setting up. The
- installation procedure for the door itself will
- vary from door to door.
-
- B. Create a batch file in your main BBS directory called
- DOOR plus the number of the door plus .BAT. For
- example, the batch file for the first door should
- be called DOOR1.BAT. For more information on creating
- batch files, refer to your DOS manual. The first line
- of the batch file should change to the directory where
- the door resides. The next line should run the door.
- The line after that should change back to the BBS
- directory (usually C:\PB). Finally, it should re-load
- the BBS. Here's an example:
-
- CD DOORS\TW2002
- TW2002 TW2002.CFG
- CD\PB
- PBOARD
-
- C. Add the door to the doors menu by running MENUCFG.
- To do this, type MENUCFG at the DOS prompt while in
- the main BBS directory. Then move the highlight bar
- to the Doors Menu. Then press ALT-U for update.
- When asked if you would like to update menu screens,
- reply by pressing Y. You will be asked for descriptions
- of the door(s) you have installed. You should enter
- a short description for the door here. For example,
- if asked for a description for door 1 and door 1 is
- Tradewars 2002, you might enter TRADEWARS.
