Add the command line below to your batchfile to start the door.
BABY BABY.CFG
For Example:
@ECHO OFF
C:
CD\BABY
BABY BABY.CFG <-----Command Line that starts the door.
CD\RA
To run the door in LOCAL mode type BABY BABY.CFG /LOCAL.
MULTI LINE CONFIG
-----------------
Copy the BABY.CFG to BABY1.CFG BABY2.CFG ect.. Where BABY1 is for node 1.
Call it the same way:
BABY BABY1.CFG
Maintenance
---------
There is no maintance. If you want to reset all you have to do is run the
reset.bat this will clear out your ANS and ASCII files and Delete the
NAMES.DAT
Fossil Driver Support
---------------------
This door supports the use of Fossil drivers. To tell it to use the
Fossil driver instead of the standard COM ports, just put /FD on the
command line when running the door. For example:
BABY BABY.CFG /FD
indicates that a Fossil driver is present and should be used. If no Fossil
driver is detected, the door will print a message to that effect and exit
the door gracefully. (Well not really all that gracefully)
Environment Variables
---------------------
This door supports COM 1-4 on the standard IRQ's -
COM1/COM3 = IRQ4 and COM2/COM4 = IRQ3. If you wish to use a non-standard IRQ,
add the IRQ number after the configuration filename. Let's assume you want
to use COM1 and IRQ5. The command line passed to baby would be:
BABY BABY.CFG /5 or
BABY BABY.CFG /%IRQ% for the environment variable.
The /5 tells the door to use IRQ5 rather than the standard IRQ4
that is normally used with COM1. No /x parameter is needed for the standard
IRQ's.
When specifying the location of the system file on line 1 of the BABY.CFG
file, you may use the environment variables %pcbdrive%, %pcbdir%, %pcbnode%,
and %wcnodeid%. Some examples:
PCBoard:
USERS.SYS in C:\PCB - %pcbdrive%%pcbdir%\USERS.SYS
USERS.SYS in C:\PCB\NODE1 - %pcbdrive%%pcbdir%\NODE%pcbnode%\USERS.SYS
Wildcat!:
USERINFO.DAT in C:\WC\NODE1 - C:\WC\NODE%wcnodeid%
Non-PCBoard systems may use the PCB environment variables by setting them
in either AUTOEXEC.BAT or in the batch that runs the door. For example:
SET PCBDRIVE=C:
SET PCBDIR=\BBSDIR
SET PCBNODE=1
486DX CPU's
-----------
Some math coprocessors in 486DX CPUs cannot handle floating point math.
This can show up as an ERROR 5, a keyboard timeout, etc.
Fortunately there is an easy fix for this problem. Simply place the following
line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
SET NO87=ON
