USBBSDOR 4.5 Copyright 1987-1992 L. Brent Yandell
* * * Continuously updated and supported for over four years! * * *
USBBSDOR is a door which provides FAST on-line search features to
the Darwin National USBBS List. Callers may search by Area Code,
State, Text, Modem type, BBS type and New listings. USBBSDOR works
with many types of BBS software, including PCBoard, Wildcat!, GAP,
RBBS, Spitfire, RA, and types which use compatible door files.
QUICK.DOC is not intended as a replacement for USBBSDOR.DOC. It
allows you to QUICKLY install USBBSDOR and see its powerful, high
quality features. You may then decide to permanently install
USBBSDOR using the detailed information contained in USBBSDOR.DOC.
-[ Step 1 ]-----------------------------
You must have a copy of the USBBS list to install USBBSDOR. Refer to
USBBSDOR.DOC for information on obtaining the current USBBS list.
Make a directory for USBBSDOR. Extract USBDOR45.ZIP contents there.
Invoke the door locally be entering USBBSDOR /L at your DOS prompt
or run the enclosed LOCAL.BAT file.
Select option #1 (Create/modify config file). Enter the appropriate
information for each of the installation questions. Pressing F1 at
any parameter will display a help screen for that parameter.
Note: "Location of current USBBSxx.LST:" Do NOT place a file name in
this field. USBBSDOR will find the newest USBBSxx.LST file in the
location you specify. (Placing the list on a RAM drive works great!)
Note: "Location of newest USBBSxx.ZIP:" Do NOT place a file name in
this field. USBBSDOR will find the newest USBBSxx.ZIP file in the
location you specify and present it to the caller for downloading.
Save the configuration file.
-[ Step 2 ]-----------------------------
Create a door batch file for USBBSDOR
@echo off
cd\usbbsdor
USBBSDOR.EXE USBBSDOR.CNF C:\PCB
cd\pcb ------------ ------
board.bat | |
| |________Location ONLY for this node's
| door information file.
|__Config file name
(Multi-node RBBS systems: add %1 as a third command line parameter)
Tell your BBS you have installed USBBSDOR.
Make sure you have placed USBBSxx.LST and USBBSxx.ZIP where you told
USBBSDOR they would be found.
You may now use USBBSDOR using USBBSDOR /L (LOCAL.BAT), or through
your BBS locally, or on-line!
As stated earlier, QUICK.DOC is for a quick installation. If you
experience any difficulties you may need to refer to USBBSDOR.DOC
for in-depth installation instructions.
