DWDoor v2.3 Demonstration Door Set-up Instructions
Written by James R. Davis
(C) Copyright 1993 - All Rights Resevered
To set this demo up as a door, create a directory to put all the files that
came with this demo, modify the DWDOOR.CFG file. The most important variables
you will have to set are DOORFILE and COMPORT. Change these two variables in
the CFG file to reflect your BBS settings. You may also wish to change the
name of your BBS in the BBSNAME variable.
Now, when the library is complete, you should put the DWDOORxx.ZIP file in the
directory where DEMO is located. If Z-Modem transfers do not work correctly,
you may have to copy your DSZ.COM to this directory as well.
To call the demo door from your batch file use the following example:
CD C:\BBS\DEMO
DEMO DWDOOR.CFG
CD C:\BBS
The door should run correctly. To enter local mode, just type:
DEMO
or
DEMO LOCAL
To get the informational help on setting this door up, type:
DEMO ?
The following variables in the DWDOOR.CFG file should be set to your system
specifications:
BBSNAME=Your BBS Name
SYSOPF=YourFirstName
SYSOPL=YourLastName
DOORFILE=The Drive, Path, and file name of the door file your system creates
for external programs. If you have a problem, set this to DIRECT
so the door will be able to get the information directly from the
com port set in COMPORT. You can use environment variables here as
well. See the CFG file for more information on their use.
COMPORT=Only used if 1.) you are using DIRECT in the variable above or 2.)
your doorfile does not seem to send the proper information. (The com
port number your modem is connected to, a number from 1-8)
That should do it... If you've read this file in it's entirity you should have
the demo door set up and running to advertise and show the user what DWDoor
v2.3 can do as well as allow them to download the library directly from within
the door. Thanks for your help and cooperation.
