- Set up is simple enough. Unzip the files into their own directory
- and make the THROW.CFG file above making sure there are no remarks
- or blanks lines in the file. Make a batch file to run the door as
- per the enclosed THROW.bat file.
- Version 6.20 has a completly different format to the score file.
- If converting from prior versions you will have to delete the older
- versions DAT file (or the door will be messed up).
- Make a .BAT file to run the door as per the enclosed
- throwout.bat file in the zip.
-
- The command line is : THROW c:\gap\door.sys node1.cfg
- (path and dropfile for your system^) (optional ^ for multinodes)

-
- Throw Out ! Files Included/Created for door to run:
- ----------------------------------------------------
- THROW.EXE <---------------- Throw Out program
- THROW.DOC <---------------- What You are reading now
- THROW.CFG <----------------- Configuration File
- REGISTER.DOC <-------------- Registration information
- THROWOUT.BAT <------------- Sample batch file
-
- THROW.DAT <---------------- Created at run time by the door
- for holding scores.
- (DELETE old file when installing
- this version of the door)
-
- All of these files should be in this ZIP, if they are not, don't
- take a chance! Call The Parrot's Den and get a good copy or view the
- file on a few local boards to see if you can find a complete copy.
-
- Door is now compiled using the Microsoft Professional Development
- System version 7.1 and my own door codes. It needs no other files
- to run (except the config file and system file).
-
- You will also need to modify your doors menu files and the data
- level needed to access them. For GAP, these are respectively:
-
- DOORM DOORMG DOORS.DAT
-
- Please refer to your BBS documentation for details on setting up
- these files.
-
- At any time that you want to redo the scoring file, delete the
- THROW.dat file created by the door, and the door will reset the weekly
- score to zero and start over. This is not necessary, as the door rolls
- over with the first caller on Sunday morning of each week, keeping the
- high score winner for the previous week and the all time high score.
-
- Throw Out now supports baud rates from 1200 to 115200 baud and
- com ports 1 to 9. The door will sense the use of a Fossil Driver
- on your system and use it for comm routines, otherwise it will use
- it's own internal routines.
-
- Please read REGISTER.DOC for information on how you can register
- your copy of Throw Out ! . The bulletin generator and the option to
- view scores while playing are only available in the registered
- version of Throw Out.
-
-
- Have Fun!
