FDROP -- A program to create DORINFO1.DEF, PCBOARD.SYS, DOOR.SYS, and
CALLINFO.BBS from WWIV's CHAIN.TXT
Use of this program is simple. Just include it in a batch file that
you use to call games. The program should be in your main BBS directory where
it can access CHAIN.TXT. This program should work with either WWIV and/or
VBBS since both make a CHAIN.TXT file.
The program can also accept two command line parameters. F or H.
F = Fixed baud rate. If you use this, you need to create a text
file in your main directory called WWUTIL.DEF and in it you
should enter your locked comport speed (ie 19200 or 38400).
H = Transfers the user's handle to the Game rather than real name.
Example....assume you have a game located at C:\GAMES\BIG_GAME and
that the executable is BIGGAME. Also assume that your BBS.EXE is located
in C:\WWIV and that BigGame requires dorinfo1.def to run. Your batch
file might look like this:
@echo off (if using Dos 3.2 or earlier do not use the @ sign)
FDROP H (make drop files with Handles as real names)
copy dorinfo1.def C:\GAMES\BIG_GAME
cd\games\big_GAME
BIGGAME
cd\wwiv
exit
If you have any problems with this program, please let me know. If
possible send a copy of the particular drop file that is causing
the problem and let me know which game(s) you are having difficulty
with.
