.CFG STANDARD FORMAT
====================
In All Of The New Carlton Doors, The First 4 Lines Of The Config File
Are All Standardized. (*Six Lines If Using GTUSER.BBS. See Below.)
Line 1: Complete Path To Dropfile, Including Dropfile Name
Ex: C:\BBS\TRIBBS.SYS
Line 2: The Name Of The BBS As It Will Appear On The Registration Form
Ex: SOME PLACE ELSE BBS
Line 3: Registering Sysop's First Name
Ex: Todd
Line 4: Registering Sysop's Last Name
Ex: Carlton
There may be more lines necessary to configure the door. See CONFIG.DOC
for the complete configuration set up.
DROPFILES
=========
Below Are The Valid Dropfiles:
-----------------------------
CALLINFO.BBS <- For Wildcat! systems (prior to v3.0)
#CHAIN.TXT <- WWIV NO LONGER SUPPORTED!! DO NOT USE!!
DOOR.SYS <- For systems that support DOOR.SYS
(Carlton doors handle BOTH the 31 line
DOOR.SYS and the one with the 52-lines)
DORINFOx.DEF <- For QBBS/RBBS/RA. Replace x with Node #.
*GTUSER.BBS <- For GT Power systems
PCBOARD.SYS <- For PCBoard systems using PCBOARD.SYS only
(When using PCBOARD.SYS, door also accesses
the USERS file.)
SFDOORS.DAT <- For Spitfire systems.
TRIBBS.SYS <- For TriBBS systems.
USERS.SYS <- For PCBoard systems using USERS.SYS
(When using USERS.SYS, doors also accesses
PCBOARD.SYS, PCBOARD.DAT and the USERS file.)
USERINFO.DAT <- For Wildcat! 3.x+ systems.
*BBSes That use GTUSER.BBS require 2 additional "Standard" lines in their
.CFG file.
*Line 5: COM Port
Ex: 2
*Line 6: Node Number
Ex: 1
FOSSIL DRIVER SUPPORT
=====================
Carlton Doors support the use of Fossil drivers. To tell the door to use the
Fossil driver instead of the standard COM ports, just put /FD on the command
line when running the door. For example:
MANIA MANIA.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.
NON-STANDARD INTERRUPTS
=======================
Carlton doors supports COM 1-4 with 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're running
DoorMania and you want to use COM1 and IRQ5. The command line
passed to your Door would be:
MANIA MANIA.CFG /5 or
MANIA MANIA.CFG /%IRQ% (using environment variables)
The /5 tells DoorFrame to use IRQ5 rather than the standard IRQ4 that
is normally used with COM1. !! No /# parameter is needed for standard IRQ's !!
There have been reports of conflicts when using non-standard IRQ's on
Novell/Netware systems. Since Novell also uses the / character, things
somethings act screwy. The * (asterisk) may be used instead of the /
in case of a conflict. In other words, /%IRQ% and *%IRQ% (/5 and *5 in the
example above) will both work and are interchangeable.
Using Non-Standard COM Ports/IRQ's, Carlton doors support COMs 1 thru 15,
and any valid IRQ that your modem is operating on.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
=====================
When specifying the location of the system file on line 1 of the doors .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
MISC NOTES OF INTEREST:
======================
Carlton doors support the RIP color switch for new Wildcat! systems. Color is
now displayed if either GRAPHICS or RIP are detected in the Wildcat! DOOR.SYS.
