0DDsetup Interface is FREE and can be used by any sysop using DDPlus style doors.
0The DDSetup Interface can be used to setup almost any door that uses the DDPlus
0door kit control file format. Simply type in the path and file name in the
0blue input area. If the control file doesn't already exist it can be created
0by this program. After entering the desired control file click continue or
0press Alt-C or Escape.
0
0The second screen lists the values of all the fields of the control file. All
0fields are free entry fields and can be typed over. Some fields have pick
0lists. Each list consists of all the acceptable parameters for this element.
0(If the field has a light blue background it has a pick list.)
0
0CONTROL: The fields can be selected by either clicking with a mouse or using
0the arrow or tab keys to manuever from field to field. Also, the function keys
0and certain alt keys can be used:
0
0F1 - Alt-H (Help - online help menu) F2 - Alt-P (Pick list selections)
0F3 - Alt-S (Save - save the file) F5 - Alt-C (Continue)
0F10 - Alt-X (eXit)
0
0DOOR COMMAND LINE PARMS: The door can also be controlled using the following
0parameters:
0/Bxxx - Specify locked baud rate (i.e. /B38400)
0/Cx - Specify comport number. (x is 1-4)
0/E - Use ESM for extra memory.
0/L - Local mode
0/Nx - Specify node number. (x is 1-9)
0/Mx - Specify multiple ctl file number. (x is up to 2 filename characters)
0/R - Force RIP graphics (disabled in many doors).
0/Pyyy - Specify path to drop file (i.e. /Pc:\bbs\node1).
0/V - Turn local video off (i.e. local screen color is statback).
0/W - A Dos only network is present (but not using a multi-tasker).
0
0Note - Check sysop docs to see if all or other parms apply to a particular door.
1Sysop First - Specifies the first name of the sysop as it will be shown to
1 the users.
1
1Sysop Last - Specifies the last name of the sysop as it will be shown to the
1 users.
1
1BBS Name - Specifies the name of the bbs as it will be shown to users.
2BBSType Specifies the type of bbs software under which this door program
2 will be run. Valid bbs types include:
2
2 DOORSYS - The DOOR.SYS format (Wildcat!,GAP,TAG, etc)
2 RBBS - Rbbs version 16.1+ (uses v1 of DORINFOx.DEF*)
2 QUICK - Quickbbs,Force,R.A. (uses v2 of DORINFOx.DEF**)
2 DORINFO1 - R.A., other bbses (uses v2 of DORINFO1.DEF**)
2 PCB15 - Pcboard version 15
2 PHOENIX - Phoenix bbs (uses INFO.BBS)
2 SPITFIRE - Spitfires bbs (uses SFDOORS.DAT)
2 WWIV - WWIV bbs (uses CHAIN.TXT)
2 2AM - 2 A.M. software (uses JUMPER.DAT)
2 TRIBBS - TriBBS software (uses TRIBBS.SYS)
2 PCB14 - Pcboard version 14
2
2Notes * ANSI graphics is selected when a "2" is passed in the graphics
2 parameter of the DORINFOx.DEF. RBBS standard.
2 ** ANSI graphics is selected when a "1" is passed in the graphics
2 parameter of the DORINFOx.DEF. QuickBBS,Remote Access,FORCE,
2 UltraBBS and many shareware BBSes require this type.
3Internal - Communications are handled by the door programs own internal
3communication routines. Generally this uses less processing than any other
3method. Speeds can be as high as 115,200 baud. Locking is usually not
3necessary and may have no affect at all.
3If internal is specified then it is possible to define the port address and
3the IRQ number. This is only necessary if the port and irq are other than the
3standard configuration or conflict with other irqs. A hexadecimal number is
3input below the desired port number. Below this type the IRQ number (0-15).
3
3Fossil - Standard Bios fossil routines. These can handle communication speeds
3up to and including 115,200 baud. When choosing a fossil you must also select
3whether or not it is to be locked.
3
3XFossil - High Speed Extended fossil routines. These can handle speeds up to
3115,200 speed. When choosing a fossil you must also select whether or not it
3is to be locked.
3Digi - DigiBoard driver direct support. This can handle communication speeds
3up to and including 115,200 baud. This option will not reset anything in the
3the digiboard or modem. It just detects the board tyoe and if present then
3ports input and output to the board.
3This option supports most DigiBoard drivers.
4LockBaud This will specify a locked baud rate. If you specify this
4 parameter, then no matter what the bbs software says, this baud
4 rate will be used.
4 [NOTE: You can also specify the locked baud rate using /Bxxxx from
4 the command line]
5Status Specify "ON" if you wish the status line to appear at the bottom
5 of "OFF" if you wish it to be disabled.
5
5Statfore Statfore foreground color of the status line.
5 Valid numbers (0-15);
5
5Statback The background color of the status line or entire local screen
5 if /V command line parm is issued.
5 Valid numbers (0-7)
5
5 Color codes: 1 : blue 6 : brown 11 : light cyan
5 2 : green 7 : light grey 12 : bright red
5 0 : black 3 : cyan 8 : dark grey 13 : light magenta
5 4 : red 9 : light blue 14 : yellow
5 5 : magenta 10 : light green 15 : white
6Maxtime The maxtime parameter will allow you to specify a maximum time per
6 session that a user may be in the door. (i.e. if you specified 30
6 minutes, then if the user had 60 mins left, he could only play for
6 30 mins). Otherwise the maximum time is the users time remaining
6 per the bbs dropfile.
7Mono Will disable color on the local side. (Necessary if you are
7 running a monochrome system)
7
7Color1 Tells the door to select ANSI graphics when a "1" is passed in the
7 graphics parameter of the DORINFOx.DEF.
7 If you are correctly using the right version of dorinfox.def this
7 will NOT be needed.
7 Indeed this is included only to maintain consistancy with previous
7 versions.
8ComPort For bbs types that do not have the com-port contained in their
8 door dropfiles (such as PCBOARD-12), you will have to specify
8 the comport. Simply put the port number (i.e. 1,2,etc) not the
8 whole word COM1 in the field.
8 As the most common dropfiles do have the comport number this is
8 only needed by those rare systems without it.
8
8 [NOTE: A much better way to specify the comport is to use the
8 /Cx parameter from the command line.]
9Pausecode Specifies the Rip pause code that your bbs uses. This will
9 be added to multiple page Rip scores file so you can use them
9 as a bulletin.
APort1 If you must use a non-standard interrupt, the door can be
APort2 configured for IRQs 0-15. The port# indicates the chosen comport
APort3 Follow this with the port address in hex. Afterward put the IRQ
APort4 in decimal. For an example if comport 3 at IRQ 15 and address
A $03E8 was needed use the following:
A PORT3 03E8 15
A
A Standard Ports are configured to be:
A PORT ADDR IRQ
A 1 03F8 4
A 2 02F8 3
A 3 03E8 4
A 4 02E8 3
