Presents:
S2R
a Super BBS to Remote Access convertor.
(c) 1991,92 by In Fase Productions, The Netherlands.
Written and compiled using
Turbo pascal v6.0 by

Release date: 14-Mar-1992
What is S2R?
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
S2R is a convertor that lets you run almost every Remote Access
door on a Super BBS bulletin board system. S2R takes the following
steps:
■ Creates a directory under the current directory named "FAKERA";
■ Makes that directory the current directory;
■ Copies ..\DorInfo?.Def to .\DorInfo1.Def;
■ Converts ..\ExitInfo.BBS to .\ExitInfo.BBS including UsersXIInfo
(From SUSERS.BBS);
■ Converts CONFIG.BBS, SCONFIG.BBS and BOARDS.BBS to CONFIG.RA and
MESSAGES.RA;
■ Converts LIMITS.BBS to LIMITS.CTL;
■ Converts FLSEARCH.BBS to FILES.RA;
■ Converts SUSERON.BBS to USERON.BBS;
■ Sets the RA environment variable to the current directory;
■ Executes program specified on the commandline;
■ Converts .\ExitInfo.BBS back to ..\ExitInfo.BBS and updates
SUSERS.BBS;
This makes it possible to run a lot of RA doors with SBBS. S2R has
been tested with Super BBS v1.15 and v1.16Γ, using some RA v1.11
doors.

Installation
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
■ Just install the door following instructions stated in the
document of the door.
■ Then place S2R.EXE and one or more S2R options on the optional
datafield before the program name.
■ In most cases *E should be included on the optional datafield
for correct time updating (if the door changes the time or other
user information).
The first commandline option for S2R must consist of at least on
character. Each character refers to a Remote Access configuration
file which should be created by S2R. The order of the options is
not important, but it is required to specify at least one option.
These options are currently defined:
F Create FILES.RA. When your door requires access to this file,
please include an F in the option list.
L Create LIMITS.CTL. In most cases this file is not required.
With RADU doors however it can be useful, it enables the sysop
to change the user's security level from within the door. When
you use such doors, please include an L in the option list.
M Create MESSAGES.BBS. When your door requires access to this
file, please include an M in the option list.
U Create USERON.BBS. Some doors, including all RADU doors,
require this file for correct operation on multi-line systems.
If you use such doors please include a U in the option list.
*N If you are running a multi-line system and have configured
SBBS to create DORINFO?.DEF files, please include an *N in the
option list.
N S2R requires at least one option, when you don't need any
option please include an N in the option list.
You can simply put the options FLMU on the commandline for each
door you use, but to speed up execution it is possible to create
only the required files.
Example:
Installation of a door in Remote Access:
Menu type : Execute door (Type 7)
Optional data : \DOORS\TETRA.EXE
Hotkey : T
Would in SBBS be:
Menu type : Execute door (Type 7)
Optional data : \DOORS\S2R.EXE LU*N \DOORS\TETRA.EXE *E
Hotkey : T
