Megamail Door Setup
-------------------
The MegaMail(tm) offline reader system can be configured to run with any
Searchlight BBS system using the enclosed UTI driver programs.
The MegaDoor program (MDOOR??.ZIP) should be obtained, and installed on your
system according to its installation and configuration docs. The Searchlight
UTI drivers should also be installed according to their instructions.
To run MegaDoor, create a batch file which first calls UTIDOOR to output the
door parameters into a text file, then call MEGADOOR with its config file as
a parameter. Here's an example file, called MDOOR.BAT:
@echo off
utidoor utidoor.txt
megadoor megacfg.1 utidoor.txt
If your MEGADOOR.EXE or MEGACFG.x file isn't in the current directory,
append pathnames to these filespecs. Megadoor should be run from the current
directory (ie. BBS home directory) unless you use the SET SLBBS environment
variable, which allows you to specify the path to your home directory.
Create a separate MDOOR.BAT file for each node in multinode systems, and be
sure to create and specify a separate MEGACFG file for each.
To execute MDOOR.BAT as a door, insert a door command to run MDOOR.BAT into
any menu. Specify "None" as the communications support, since Megadoor
has its own communications drivers.
The combination of MegaDoor with the Searchlight UTI driver requires
approximately 250K of memory to handle the largest messages and message
areas. Try to allocate about 300K of total memory to any SLBBS task which
includes the MegaMail door. If less memory is available, you may experience
problems with larger mail volumes during export of messages or when MegaMail
calls PKZIP to pack messages.
