What's New
**********
This version of Download Door is RipScript and ANSI aware. If your
user is using a RipScript Communications program. Download Door
will detect it and use the built in RipScript Graphics. If the user
calls without RipScript but is using ANSI Download Door will show
the ANSI screens. With RipScript the users will see 640x350x16
graphics and will be able to use the mouse on clickable buttons to
navagate thru the program. Note to SysOps: If the terminal is in
Rip mode you will not see the Rip screens, instead you will view
the RipScript Script files on your screens. Perhaps with the next
generation of BBS soft- ware this will change. You do not have to
be running a Rip aware BBS to use this software. Only your user
must be calling with a Rip aware communications program.
Set Up
******
This is not a crippled program.
Download Door is a TriBBS specific program. But will work with
several different door drop files. I have not tried it with any
other BBS types but, know of no reason why it would not work. (See
below). This door can be set up as an extended menu option. This
program was written to perform fast downloading of "International
Online Magazine" but can be configured to download from one to nine
files.
If you are updating version 2.2 all you need to do is copy the file
DOWNLOAD.EXE over the v2.2, and adjust the line length of your
FILES.LST file to 70 characters per line or less. You are ready to go.
If this is a new instalation follow the directions below.
1. Make a directory and copy all files but Download.Bat into the
new directory. (YOU MUST HAVE! GSZ.EXE (c) "Omen Technology
Inc.") Place GSZ.EXE into this Download Door subdirectory you
just created.
2. Copy Download.Bat into the Tribbs Directory.
3. Edit the Download.Bat file to reflect the information for your
setup.
4. Edit the Download.Cfg file to reflect the information for your
setup and remove all comments from this file.
5. Edit the Files.lst file to reflect the descriptions of your files.
Note : There is no specific format required of this file other
than the lines should be no longer than 70 characters.
I have included an example file, just follow the same
format and you will have no problems with it.
The first line of Download.cfg can be any of the following.
PCB for PCBoard
GAP for Gap, Wildcat 3.x or any BBS that drops Door.Sys
RBBS for RBBS
WC for Wilcat 2.x
TRIBBS for TriBBS (I use Gaps door.sys for TriBBS)
WWIV for WWIV
6. Edit the Download.dat file and remove the two comment lines.
You can list from 1 to 9 files to be downloaded. One per line.
The user selects which files they wish to download. Do not leave
a blank line at the end of this file.
(NOTE) The above files to edit, all have comments that will help you.
The Download Door Door is now ready to run.
SYSOP INFO
**********
While the door is active the following SysOp keys are active:
HOME Toggles between the user status window and a help
display that list the special keys.
F6 Takes 5 minutes away from the caller.
NOTE: This will not be returned to the BBS.
F7 Gives 5 minutes to the caller.
NOTE: This will not be returned to the BBS.
F9 Quit the door and return the caller to the BBS.
F10 Enter chat mode. Pressing the ESC key exits the chat mode.
Alt+D SysOp Drop to DOS. Type EXIT to return.

GSZ is a copyrighted program (c) "Omen Technology Inc." and is
available on most BBSs.
