- Welcome to The "SprAY IT! Door" By James Syriac < Copyright (C) 1996 >
-
- If Registered:
-
- Allows The Sysop to configure How many messages per Day a User can
- write. Allows Sysop to Set Security Levels in the Door. And the Sysop
- Can give Credit to a user for helping register...
-
-
- SprAYIT.ctl < Control File Created by the door > DO NOT DELETE!
-
- Wallcfg.dat < Configuration data for SprAY IT! created by the door >
-
- Wall.msg < Stores the user's messages in text form >
-
- Wall_usr.dat < Keeps Track of the Users information >
-
- Badword.dat < Text file Sysop can create listing Bad Words >
-
- Badwall.txt < Text file for Sysop to see what a user wrote when a badword
- was written. (Sysop Lists badwords in badword.dat) >
-
- Reg.dat < Text file created by the sysop only if the BBS uses a name
- other than SYSOP for the sysop in the door >
-
- Note: The Main menu shows 2 options to the Sysop that are not seen by the
- other users, U for update user and C for configure.
- These options might not be shown to even the Sysop if their BBS uses
- a name other than "Sysop" for them in doors such as their handle or
- real name! In that case create a text file called reg.dat with
- two lines, The Sysop name as in the registration and the Registration
- number! ... The door should then give them access to configure and
- update users... Place the reg.dat in the doors directory!
-
- SprAY IT! uses security levels to keep the wall clean. The door has defaults
- set but the Sysop can modify the levels as he/she wishes (if registered). The
- Sysop can create a badword.dat in the doors directory which will be used to
- keep messages clean by stripping out any word that is matched to a word in
- the list, but first writes the message to a file called badwall.txt.
- In the door the users would only see #### placed where the letters would have
- been for the badword that was stripped! The door can drop the users security
- level (in door only) to a preset level preventing the user from writing
- any more messages until the Sysop raises his/her level again! (If registered)
-
- Wallcfg.dat:
- Created by SprAY IT!
- File is created useing the C Option for configure in the main menu...
- Until Registered the Sysop can only edit the BBS Name, Sysop Name,
- and Reg number areas. which will only take affect if the Sysop name and
- Reg number Calculations are right!
- The Sysop can set a default security for new users or have the door match the
- security level to what they have on the BBS useing the (D) setting (Assuming
- door.sys is used)...
- Number of messages can be set from 1 to 9 per day per user...
- Security levels can be set from 10 to 254...
-
- BadWord.dat:
- Created By Sysop
- The Sysop can make up a list of words he/she doesn't want used in the door.
- useing a text editor (non formating) like dos edit, he/she can type:
-
- one word per line,
- min 3 characters,
-
- that he/she wants to avoid users seeing in the door.
-
- BadWall.txt:
- Created by SprAY IT!
- The Sysop can read this file with dos edit to see if and when a user had
- written something that was in the badword.dat file...
- It can be deleted after reading if the sysop is done with it!
-
- Wall_usr.dat:
- Created by SprAY IT!
- Keeps track of the users info, The Sysop can Update the users info with the
- U option in the main menu...
-
- ReRoll the Door by Deleting the wall.msg .....
-
- Wall.msg:
- Created by SprAY IT!
- Stores the messages written along with message number and name of author!
- Can be edited with a text editor like dos edit. but Be very careful to
- only delete sets... 3 lines per message... first line is the author, 2nd line
- is the message number, 3rd line is the message! in other words the message
- file must begin with an:
-
- Author on the first line and end with a Message as the last line!
-
- This file would be edited normaly only to keep down the size of the file.
- I'd recommend cutting out the beginning of the file to leave only the most
- recent messages when the sysop feels it should be done...
-
- Message numbers can run up to 999999, But I would recommend deleteing the
- message file to start a fresh on before that! <G>
-
-
- Reg.dat:
- Created by the Sysop
- Used only if the BBS is useing something other than SYSOP for the sysops name
- in the door. Unless Sysop is used as the sysop's name the door will not give
- access to the U and C options... In that case with the Registration number
- and the Sysop's Name the reg.dat will be used to give the sysop access to
- those functions, primarily to configure the door. once the Sysop's name and
- Reg number are in the cfg file the door will recognized the sysop as sysop
- when the name and reg match up! Then the Reg.dat is no longer needed...
- To create a Reg.dat, use dos edit, and type the Sysop name as it was used
- for registration on the first line, press enter, then type the Registration
- number and press enter! this will allow the door to confirm registration and
- know what the sysop's name is for sysop access!
-
- (example):
- John Doe
- 01234
-
- Be sure you don't leave any spaces before or after these items!
-

-
- How to Install SprAY IT!:
-
- Copy the SprAYIT.exe to its own directory.
- If Registered Use the SprAY IT! door to configure and enter the registration
- Information.
- SprAY IT! will create all it's own files needed for the door as it runs!
-
- SprAY IT! setup:
- Example:
- SprAYIT d:\gap\door.sys
- BBS file ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
- With Fossil Driver:
- SprAYIT d:\gap\door.sys PORT:F:1
- BBS file ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
- PORT:F:1 <---- F= Fossil, PORT 1
-
- Note: Fossil driver may be needed if your modem has a problem with the Ansi
- Screens Drawing real slow... Slower than Normal!
-
- Note: Digiboard users can use PORT:D:1 D= Digiboard, Channel 1
-
- Note: NonStandard Ports use PORT:ADDRESS_in_hex:IRQ
-
- EXAMPLE: PORT:03F8:5
-
-
- Bat file should: change directory to the SprAY IT! door directory.
- execute SprAYIT.exe (add Path to DOOR.SYS on the same line)
-
- If SprAY IT! is used as a logon door, I recommend useing the /L switch in the
- logon.bat file at the endof the line starting the door. This will cause the
- door to add a welcome message from the bbs and requests the user join in the
- door!
- Example: SprAYIT d:\gap\door.sys PORT:F:1 /L
- Use the /L only in the logon bat and leave it out for the door area bat file!
-
- Note: SprAY IT! was written for Gap and Door.sys and is the
- Most likely Door info file to be reliable...
- I Recommend Converting to Door.sys if your BBS
- doesn't generate Door.sys
-
- (Example of batch file to call door):
- c:
- cd\BBS\sprayit
- sprayit d:\gap\door.sys
- cd\BBS
- etc...
-
- BBS types other than GAP may be able to use their own Sys file
- instead of Door.sys. Try using it if you want.
- I only have been able to test it on Gap BBS's.
-
- Note: DorinfoX.def doesn't read correctly >>> convert to Door.sys!
-
- It should work with DOOR.SYS and with most conversion programs to Door.sys!
-
- MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE PATH RIGHT! (whole path to the door.sys)
-
- <THE CFG FILE> Can only be made within the door...
- Except for the Boardname, Sysop name, and reg number, Until registered, Can
- not be edited, once registered can be edited within the door with the C
- option that only the sysop can access!
- If the BBS uses a name other than sysop for the sysop, the C option can only
- be accessed using the reg.dat file with the sysop name and the registration
- number! See Reg.dat info above!
-
-
- Register: See Register.doc for more info...
-
- For the Registration Send ($15 Donation suggested) to: James Syriac
- 138 Dennison CrossRoad
- (Please use Registration form in Register.doc) Southbridge Ma. 01550
-
- Include a list stating EXACTLY how you want the Sysop Name and BBS Name.
- -------
-
- I recommend The Sysop name match exactly as the the BBS shows it to you so
- the door can match it up when the Sysop is in the door to the reg file!
-
- The exit screen will show Registered to (Sysop Name) of (BBS Name).
-
- Send any Questions or Comments to same address!
-
- Note: The door will handle LOST CARRIER and DUMP USER (Sysop Option) and
- return to the BBS. Also will return to BBS if a key is not detected in
- so many minutes. (About 5 minutes!) Sounds beeps as a warning...
-
- For instructions press I in the Door!
-
- Thanks for your interest in SprAY IT!
-
- Best Place to look for newest Releases is: The Parrots Den BBS
- 508-765-9387
- Support BBS >>> Southbridge, MA.
-
- PcBoard may use PcBoard.sys if it runs correctly but I Recommend Door.sys
- Note: Beep warning will not be heard with PcBoard.sys
-
- WWIV <Oh Well> I Recommend You convert Chain.txt to Door.sys with DM521.
- It's Door Master and can convert to door.sys using the Alias!
- There is newer Versions of DoorMaster.. they should work also.
-
- DM521.ZIP or newer versions can be found on The Support BBS above!
