Please call the T&J BBS for the latest version of this program.
DISTRIBUTION:
=============
You may make this file available for downloading from your BBS or you may
upload it to any BBS of your choice, provided that you do not make any
changes to the contents of the archive (ZIP file). The archive and its
individual contents may not be used by any service that charges any money

LEGALITIES:

SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF ANY USE THEREOF
OR BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
====================
Have you ever had users that constantly drop carrier in door games? Do
you have some users who cry over the scores etc..? Now you can lock these
users from the doors of your choice! BadUser will check a text file
maintained by you -- and will keep these unwanted users from playing
those selected games/programs. The nice thing is they won't know what
is wrong (if you select the STANDARD configuration). BadUser sends them
no sign that it is being run except for a fake ERROR message which says
"COM Port Error -- Returning to BBS". In CUSTOM mode, you may make and
send a ANSI screen to the user.
If BadUser finds a "bad user" it will create a file called BAD.BAD. The
DOOR.BAT file will see it and skip the main door program and head back
to the BBS (see the sample batch file included).

This Door is multi-node compatible so you may run more than 1 node from
the same .CFG file provided the path to your system file (DORINFOx.DEF,
CALLINFO.BBS, etc) is exactly the same unless you are using environment
variables, (q.v.)
Environment Variables
=====================
PCBoard automatically creates the %PCBDRIVE% & %PCBDIR% environment
variables. Non-PCBoard systems may also use these variables by including
the following in either your BBS batch or AUTOEXEC.BAT
SET PCBDRIVE=C: <- Drive letter of your BBS files
SET PCBDIR=\BBSDIR <- Path to your BBS files
Then in your Door .CFG file instead of putting C:\BBSDIR\DOOR.SYS, you
would put %PCBDRIVE%%PCBDIR%\DOOR.SYS. This allows you to use just one
.CFG file for multi-node operation!
To specify a non-standard IRQ, put the IRQ number after the .CFG on the
command line. For example:
LEMON30 LEMON.CFG /5
or using the PCBDRIVE procedure: SET IRQ=5 and use
LEMON30 LEMON.CFG /%IRQ%
This tells the program to use IRQ 5 instead of the standard IRQ.
Sysop Keys
==========
F3 - Toggles the printer On/Off. Value is passed to PCBoard and/or
written to DOOR.SYS and USERS.SYS
F4 - Toggles the Page Bell on/off. Value is passed to PCBoard
and/or written to DOOR.SYS and USERS.SYS
F5 - DOS Shell. Allows SysOp to exit to DOS from inside a DOOR.
F7 - Toggles the Caller Alarm On/Off. Value is passed to PCBoard
and/or written to DOOR.SYS and USERS.SYS
F8 - Returns the caller involuntarily to the BBS.
F9 - Toggles the local display On/Off. Value is passed to PCBoard
and/or written to DOOR.SYS and USERS.SYS
F10 - Activates SysOp CHAT mode within the DOOR.
ESC - Deactivates CHAT mode. DOOR is resumed.
UP - Give the caller extra time while in the DOOR.
DN - Subtract time from the caller while in the DOOR.
HOME - HELP key for Status Line options.
ALT-N - SysOp next on toggle. Value passed to PCBoard. (PCBoard only)
ALT-X - PCBoard will exit after current caller logs off. Value is
passed to PCBoard. Not available on non-PCBoard systems.
BATCH FILE SETUP!
================
ECHO OFF
CD\WC30\DOOR\LEMON
BADU21 BADUSER.CFG
IF EXIST BAD.BAD GOTO QUIT
LEMON LEMON.CFG
:QUIT
IF EXIST BAD.BAD DEL BAD.BAD
1: Turn ECHO OFF -- not needed
2: Change to your door directory.
3: Run BadUser -- if a bad user is found the program will create a
small file called BAD.BAD.
4: Checks to see if BAD.BAD was created -- if it was it will skip to
QUIT and bypass the real door. If the BAD.BAD file is not found
your real door will operate as normal.
5: Your actual door program (however many lines it takes).
6: Batch file branch if a bad user was found.
7: Delete the BAD.BAD file if it is there.
To run in LOCAL mode simply enter: LOCAL
EDITING THE BADUSER.LST FILE:
=============================
Use your favorite text editor to type in the bad user names. Simply add the
names of the users to this file. One name per line.....
MODES:
=====
Setup the SYSOP.CFG file for CUSTOM or STANDARD mode. For STANDARD mode,
just enter an S one line one of this file (it is not case sensitive and
no "quotes" are needed. Standard mode simply tells the user that there is
a COM PORT ERROR and returns to the board.
In CUSTOM mode, enter a C on line one and the screen that you would like
to send to the user.
LINE 1: C
LINE 2: SCREEN.SCR
When you design your screen, save it with a home cursor not a clear screen.
If you are using TheDraw greater than version 3.3, block save your screen!
See TheDraw's documentation for this. Failure to use a block save will
make your screen jump up one line.
FUTURE VERSIONS:
