CDMXDCN1.EXE Docs (c) 1993, Robert E. Lee 1:232/31 8:7002/3005 (309)797-0098
WHAT IS IT?
CDMXDCN1 is a dorinfoX.def to door.sys converter that is very
simple to use and will take your dorinfoX.def and quickly write
a 52-line door.sys (which is the type of drop file that CDMX2DOR
needs to have to operate efficiently).
HOW TO USE IT?
It is operated via a commandline argument which is composed to
three (3) pieces of information. The first piece of information
required is the name of your dorinfoX.def file, e.g.,
dorinfo1.def dorinfo2.def, etc.
The second piece of information concerns your locked port baud
rate. If you are running your door with a locked baud rate then
specify it in the commandline. If you are not running a locked
baud rate for your port, then just specify the user's baud rate
(normally 2400 if you are not running a locked port). If you are
running your door at greater than 2400 baud, it is recommended that
you lock your port's baudrate at the fastest speed it can handle.
The 3rd piece of information is how many lines there are in your
dorinfo1.def file. In most cases (e.g., RBBS, etc.) it will be
13 lines, but in a few instances it may be 12 lines (e.g.,
OmegaComm dorinfo1.def is only 12 lines). If in doubt, count
the lines in one of your system's dorinfo1.defs to be sure.
WHAT DOES THE COMMANDLINE STRING LOOK LIKE?
Here is one for a dorinfo1.def locked at 38400 baud (as it would
be entered from the dos prompt):
c:\subdir\>cdmxdcn1 -dorinfo1.def -38400 -13
if you were not locked and running a dorinfo2.def, it would look
something like this with a 12 line dorinfo2.def:
c:\subdir\>cdmxdcn1 -dorinfo2.def -2400 -12
Again, it is highly recommended that you lock your baudrate at the
highest speed available if you are running a fast modem.
WHERE DO I PUT THIS COMMANDLINE CALL TO THE CONVERTER?
Since CDMX2DOR runs on a door.sys, you must convert your
dorinfox.def file to a door.sys prior to calling cdmx2dor. This
is accomplished in your BAT file that you use to call the door,
for example:
C:
cd\doordir
cdmxdcn1 -dorinfo1.def -38400 -13
cdmx2dor cdmx2dor.cnf
You note that the conversion is done and then the door is called.
POINTERS:
Make sure that CDMXDCN1.EXE is IN the subdirectory where CDMX2DOR.EXE
resides so that the dorinfoX.def to door.sys conversion is done in
the correct subdirectory. If you make a mistake in the command
line, CDMXDCN1.EXE will tell you and exit without writing a door.sys
so, if no door.sys is present, the door will not work and will
exit back to the BBS. Note that CDMXDCN1.EXE is designed to
translate a 13-line dorinfoX.def to a 52-line door.sys. If your
dorinfoX.def is NOT a 13-line file, then it is likely to be a 12
line dorinfoX.def. If this utility fails to correctly do the
conversion and you have tried both the 12 and 13 line-counts for
the dorinfoX.def file, then CDMXDCN1.EXE utility will not work
and you are on your own (because your dorinfoX.def is not the
normal typical type of dorinfoX.def structure as expected).
