Thank you for evaluating RDR Time Bank.
RDR Time Bank (C) Copyright 1997 by Rob Ross
-------------------------------------------------
RDR Time Bank is a door that was designed
for use with TriBBS BBSes (v10.0-11.0). This
program is needed for several other doors that
modify users' Time Bank accounts, such as
RDR Black Jack, RDR Lotto and Time Transfer.
UNREGISTERED copies of this door function exactly
the same as the registered copies. You are
permitted to use this software for evaluation
purposes for a period of no more than 30 days.
If you decide that you wish to continue using
this program beyond the evaluation period, you
must register your copy with me.
RDR Time Bank is provided "as is" with no expressed
or implied warranties. I accept no responsablilty
for any damages caused directly or indirectly by
the use or misuse of this software. By using
RDR Time Bank, you agree to these terms.
Although RDR Time Bank has been extensively tested
and debugged, bugs do tend to appear where least
expected. If you discover any bugs or have any
comments or suggestions, you may E-Mail me at my
Internet address: rross@tason.com
The latest version of RDR Time Bank will always
be available for download from:
The Ajax Shuttle BBS (17+ Lines)
Ajax, Ontario
Sysop: David Nickleford

This document is separated into a few sections:
Installation, Sysop Functions, Additional Features,
Registration info.
INSTALLATION:
-------------
The initial set up of this door has been kept as
simple as possible. The following is a step by
step guide to quickly installing RDR Time Bank.
Step 1:
-------
Copy all of the door's files into its own
directory.
Step 2:
-------
Modify the "TIMEBANK.CFG" sample file to better suit
your BBS.
BJ.CFG
------
Line 1: Door Data file type (TRIBBS for TriBBS )
Line 2: Path to door data files (Where DOOR.SYS is )
Line 3: Your BBS's Name (Your BBS Name )
Line 4: Sysop's Name (Your Name )
Line 5: Locked Baud Rate (0 if NOT locked )
Line 6: Maximum Deposit Limit (0 (None) to 32000 )
Line 6: Registration Code (Blank if NOT reg. )
Example:
--------
TRIBBS
C:\TRIBBS\
Dizzy's Fun House
Rob Ross
38400
200
[Reg. code goes here]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The door's data file type (drop file) is specified in line 1
and can be PCB for PCBoard, GAP for GAP (DOOR.SYS), SF for Spitfire,
RBBS for RBBS, WC for WildCat!, TRIBBS for TriBBS, or WWIV for WWIV.
The locked baud rate is specified in line 5.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 3:
-------
Create a batch file for the door.
If you use a non-standard IRQ for your serial port, you must
include it last on the command line. The legitimate range of
values is from 0 to 15. If your IRQ is standard, then you do
not need the third parameter.
Example:
--------
c:
cd\timebank
timebank timebank.cfg [nonstandard irq]
cd\tribbs
board.bat
Step 5:
-------
Add the door to your BBS wherever you want it and you are set!
*NOTE* RDR Time Bank can also be run locally, without being
logged on to your BBS by typing:
timebank timebank.cfg LOCAL
(While in the TIMEBANK directory, at the DOS prompt)
When run locally, the door does not require a door drop file.
It will ask you to enter in your name when you run it.
(The name must be a valid username on your BBS for the DOOR
to function properly)
SYSOP Functions:
----------------
RDR Time Bank also offers a variety of SYSOP functions.
Special Keys:
Keys Function
-------- ---------------------------------------------------
HOME Toggles between the user status window and a help
display that lists the special keys
F6 Takes 5 minutes away from the caller.
F7 Gives 5 minutes to the caller.
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 Drop to DOS.
Additional Features:
--------------------
Autodetection and use of a FOSSIL driver if one is present
in memory.
Fully supports high speed modems: 16550 FIFO buffering and
locked serial ports.
Built-in ANSI emulator. No need to have ANSI.SYS loaded in
memory.
DesqView, Windows, and OS/2 aware. (I have not tested the
"awareness" features, but the door library kit that I use
says this. :) ) (TDoor 3.0 by TriSoft)
Can be run simultaneously on more than one node.
RDR Time Bank was programmed using Borland C++ 3.0, and
TriSoft's TDoor 3.0 Door programming library.

REGISTRATION INFO:
------------------
Due to the time required to design and develop doors,
I am asking for a nominal registration fee for the full
working copy of this program. By registering this and/or
other shareware programs either written by myself or other
shareware authors, you help support new software development.
Registration for RDR Time Bank is ONLY $5! Cheque or
Money Order please. When you register, I will send you your

If you add the $5.00 for a shareware disk, you will receive
other *shareware* versions of doors I have written for use
with TriBBS systems.
Including RDR Lotto ... a lottery ticket door for
TriBBS BBSes. Users "buy" tickets with their saved TIME BANK
time. When the draw takes place (you decide), one lucky user
gets the jackpot added to their RDR TIME BANK account.
(Up to the maximum you've set (if any) in the RDR Time Bank
configuration.
Including RDR Black Jack ... another TIME BANK door for
TriBBS BBSes. Callers can gamble with their saved
time in their RDR Time Bank account, and possibly win more time
or even lose it all! (Non registered version does not modify
the Time Bank data files)
