╘═╕ DUO's DownLoad Door Plus ╒═╛
│ Ver 1.45 │
╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
DownLoad Door Plus offers a 52 file database!
The DownLoad Door gives Sysops the ability to offer special files
to their users at login or through a door (DOS hook). DownLoad
offers you, the sysop, the ability to FORCE files on your users,
meaning they have to successfully download the forced files before
they can exit the door. You can also set security level access for
each individual file in download door.
You will need a copy of DSZ* or GSZ* transfer protocol in your
PATH for DLDPlus to work. If you do not have one call DUOnline.
* DSZ & GSZ - Omen Technologies.
= DLDSETUP.EXE =
DLDSetup is the setup and File DataBase program for DLDPlus.
Use this program to configure your DLDPlus.CFG file or files
if you are running multi-line. Under "General Setup" is were
you enter information about your system. It is IMPORTANT that
your sysop name and BBS name exactly match the KEY file that
you created online. DLDSetup will test to see if you have a
KEY file and test to see if the BBS and SysOp name matches
the KEY file,if it does, not will happen. If they don't match
the KEY or the KEY is not present in the DLDPLus directory
then it will let you know.
If you are using the KEY included with DLDPlus then you will
need to enter "RYAN ANDERSEN" for the sysop name and "Demo Version".
It is best that you call DUOnline and create a personalized 30 day
demo key. Just call and run the key generator door. DLDSETUP has
context sensitive HELP. While the highlight bar is on a particular
selection, just hit the F1 key and it will give you a brief
description of what you need to enter for that selection.
Multi-Line systems need to create multiple config files as
follows....
DLPLUSxx.CFG where xx is the node #.
When running a multi-line setup you have to have the original
DLPLUS.CFG file, plus the Configs for each node.
DLDSETUP can create these multiple config files for you. You
just need to tell DLDSETUP how many node config files you want.
Once DLDSETUP has created this multi config files, you will
need to load each one separately and re-configure them for each
node. You can load them from the DOS prompt as follows:
/c:>DLDSETUP 2
This will load DLPLUS2.CFG, node #2's config file. Or you can
use the popup pick list "Load Config" to load in your config file.
Further explaination..
For example: if you are running a 3 line systems (3 nodes)
and you have line 1 on com 1 IRQ 4, line 2 on com 2 IRQ 4, and
line 3 on com 3 IRQ 5, then you will have to have 4 config files.
DLPLUS.CFG <-- main config
DLPLUS1.CFG <-- config file for node 1 (line 1)
DLPLUS2.CFG <-- config file for node 2 (line 2)
DLPLUS3.CFG <-- config file for node 3 (line 3)
In DLPLUS1.CFG & DLPLUS2.CFG you need to leave the IRQ and the
Base Address sections set to "0" (zero), because DLDPlus
automatically sets COM 1 to IRQ 4 and COM 2 to IRQ 3, therefore
the only file (in this example) that you need to change is
DLPlus3.CFG... you will need to change the IRQ to "5" and the
Base Address to "3E8", which is the port address for COM 3.
= FORCED.LOG =
This is where DLDPlus writes a callers name when they have
successfully downloaded the forced files. When a user's
name is in this file, they will never be forced to download
any files.
= SECSORRY.RIP =
= SECSORRY.ANS =
These to files are screens that are shown to a caller who
attempts to mark a file that the user does not have access
to due to his security level. Just like IconUpDater, D/L
Door Plus used the WildCat Menu level to set security levels.
Each of the 52 files can have its own security level. This
great for offering your memebers special files that you don't
want non-members to be able to download. Or if you run adult
material and you have special adult files, like icons, for
your adult memebers to download, then you can set the security
level on that file. For example, if you set the security
level on a file to 49, then only callers with a security level
(WC Menu Level), of 50 or above will be able to download this
file. When a caller with a level of 49 or below marks this
file, D/L Door will immediately send the caller the SECSORRY.RIP,
if the user is on in RIP, or SECSORRY.ANS, if the user is online
in ANSI... the file will never get marked for download.
You can change these screens to suit your needs. Remember, when
you make the ANSI screen, make sure that the file is not longer
than 23 or 24 lines, or is it scroll off the screen.
I have also given you the ability to put some of the @-codes
from IconUpDater into these screens... the one you can use
follows...
@-Code Description
------------ ----------------------------------------------
@USER@ The user's full name that is currently
online.
@FIRST@ The user's First Name.
@LAST@ The user's Last name.
@SECLEVEL@ WildCat Only ! The user's security
name from userinfo.dat (ie. SYSOP, NEWUSER)
@BBS@ The BBS name that is in the DLDPLUS.CFG.
@LASTON@ The date the user last call to the BBS.
@VER@ The current version number of DLDPlus.
@DLFDESC@ The most recently selected file's description.
@DLFNAME@ The most recently selected file's name.
@DLFSIZE@ The most recently selected file's size
@DLFDATE@ The most recently selected file's date.
@DLFDOWNS@ The most recently selected file's number
of downloads. The number of downloads
is maintain for each file. If you need
to change it or reset it to 0, then run
DLDSetUp, you can change it there.
Everything else is prettry straight forward. You have to
use DLDSETUP to create and maintain the file database. This
program has context sensitive help, so use it if you need to.
Just hit the "F1" key when the highlight bar is on a particular
selection and it will give you a brief description of that option
and what you need to enter.
= LONGIN1.BAT = or DOORxx.BAT
show look like....
C:
cd\wc30\doors\dlplus
DLDPLUS
cd\wc30
exit
If you have any questions, pleas feel free to call me voice at
513-324-4587, but no later than 11:59pm please.
- Support -
DUE to the interactive ability of DLDPlus to mark files in
RIP and ANSI without having to redraw the screen, DLDPlus
does not support ASCII. Who the heck uses ASCII anyway, or
ANSI for that matter.<g>
