SHARE + NETWORKING:
-------------------
If you are Networking and Using SHARE you can Run the doors on Multiple
Nodes of a BBS simultaneously. This can be done with or without a LAN, it
is however advisable that you run SHARE even if you are only Multitasking.
FUNCTIONS OF THE DOOR:
-----------------------
I will briefly cover the features and functions of the door. You can get
a much better feel for it by actually using it. You can do this in LOCAL MODE
by running it with a /L after it.
CONCDOOR /L
ConCorde takes as Input 1 to 3 Words and searches its NEARLY Exhaustive
database for instances of concurant occurances in a given verse. Additionally
it will display them as it finds then and write them to a file. To allow for
viewing (by Entering VIEW OUTPUT as word to search for #1), or subsequent
Downloading if you allow such via your BBS. (Let them download the file created
by their node configuration if your BBS software allows designation of a
specific file and you decide to allow such) I did not implement file transfer
in the door for 3 reasons:
[1] - your BBS already supplies such a service.
[2] - the door was very near its limits with respect to data structures
and I didn't want to sacrifice # of occurances maintained in favor
of mear file transfers.
[3] - The caller may capture the output nearly as conveniently.
I should note that the OUTPUT FILE is maintained only from the last search,
each subsequent search creates a new file. And that the files are NODE specific.
Node 1 will not get Node 2 output or vice versa.....
FILENAMES:
----------
The File Names for ConCorde Door are:
THE ACTUAL DOOR: CONCDOOR.EXE
CONFIGURATION FILE: CONCORDE.CFG
DATA FILES: SHRTCONC.DAT
SHRTWORD.DAT
NECESSARY DOOR DROP FILE: DORINFOx.DEF

In the above file names the x stands for the Node Number (0-Local).
CONFIGURATION FILE:
-------------------
The Configuration file is an ASCII file containing:
BBS Name
SysOp Name
Registration Key

Fred's Bedrock BBS
Fred Rockman

Registration:
You may register ConCorde by Sending me $7 plus a Self Addressed
envelope with a First Class STAMP on it along with the EXACT way you
want your BBS NAME and SYSOP NAME to read.
Make Checks payable to Dan Sharpe.
I will mail you the registration key so that the UNREGISTERED delays
built into ConCorde will be deactivated.
Bug Reports:
Unfortunately there are always some BUGS....
I can not guarnatee that I will be able to fix bugs in the DATA files,
they take several days to generate! so I welcome reports of errors in the
Chapter/VERSE type data, but can't promise that I will ever manage to fix
them... Bugs of an opperational nature are much easier to fix, and
enhancement suggestions are welcomed as well...
