- Thanks for trying ChessMAGIC! on your BBS!
-
- In order for ChessMAGIC! to run, you MUST include on your command line
- certain parameters. The proper procedure is detailed in CMAGIC.DOC, so
- please take a moment to read this documentation.
-
- For those of you who hate to read docs, RUNIT.BAT will bring ChessMAGIC!
- up using the GENERIC.SYS file. This method of operation causes
- ChessMAGIC! to prompt for a name entry. This method of operation is NOT
- recommended, but does provide you with a quick look before using properly
- with your particular BBS type.
-
- The following BBS user file formats are DIRECTLY SUPPORTED by the current
- version of ChessMAGIC!:
-
- door.sys - WildCat! v3.x, GAP v5.x, Generic & others
- callinfo.bbs - WildCat! v2.x
- generic.sys - A simple user system file that ChessMAGIC! can
- utilize.
-
- Sample DOOR.BAT for systems using DOOR.SYS format:
-
- d:
- cd \doors\cmagic
- * cmagic DRIVE\PATH\door.sys
-
- * NOTE: If not in your default directory where ChessMAGIC! is run,
- you MUST specify the DRIVE\PATH to your system's user file!
-
-
- =======================
- ATTENTION
- PC-Board & RBBS
- (and other)
- Sysops!
- =======================
-
-
- Direct support of your systems' user file formats is underway and will be
- available in a future release. In the meantime, we've included an
- excellent shareware utility (QKDOOR2F.EXE by Chris Hall) that converts
- your user files from one format to another. This enables you to use
- ChessMAGIC! at once, with little additional effort.
-
- Qkdoor is easy to run and doesn't even need to be configured (you can
- delete the QKDOOR.CTL file -- it isn't required). Run it where your user
- information files for the required node are located, using a simple
- command line:
-
- qkdoor pcb14 d:\cmagic\gap {PCBoard v14.x}
- qkdoor pcb12 d:\cmagic\gap {PCBoard v12.x}
- qkdoor rbbs2 d:\cmagic\gap {RBBS node 2}
- qkdoor wwiv d:\cmagic\gap {WWIV}
-
- This will read in the user file data (in default area when run) and
- generate the DOOR.SYS file in your CMAGIC system directory (use whatever
- path suits your system setup).
-
- After conversion to DOOR.SYS format, your ChessMAGIC! command line would
- be as simple as:
-
- cmagic door.sys
-
-
- An example DOOR.BAT file when using this converter follows:
-
-
- qkdoor pcb14 d:\cmagic\gap {run where pcboard.sys/.dat found}
- d:
- cd\cmagic
- cmagic door.sys
