File Request Processor
----------------------
What this utility does? It allows your users to FREQ (File request) files
from other systems. The user must provide the file name he/she wishes and
the node address of the system to request this file from. This Utility
will write a Netmail Freq for the file under your (The SysOp) name, but
place it on HOLD for you to review before it is sent out. This will prevent
users abusing this and requesting *.* <G> and allow you to decide if you wish
to pay Long Distance charges, if any, for the FREQ. REQUEST does not check for
Valid or CM node numbers but if the user enters an invalid address, your mailer
should show the system as unlisted.
(Ruth Argust - 1/1/97)

Edit the file REQUEST.CFG to fit your needs.
For Example:
C:\bbs\node1\door.sys
RabbitLand II
Bryan

0
c:\fd\mail
1:124/7013
00
;C:\BBS\DOOR.SYS <--- Path to dropfile
;RabbitLand II <--- BBS Name
;Bryan <--- Sysop's first name
;Turner <--- Sysop's last name
;0 <--- For GTUSER (0 if not using GTUSER)
;0 <--- For GTUSER (0 if not using GTUSER)
;c:\fd\mail <--- Path to outbound mail
;1:124/7013 <--- Your Main Address
;00 <--- Registration Number
Installation
------------
The following drop files are supported by File Request Processor.
PCBOARD.SYS DORINFOx.DEF
USERS.SYS SFDOORS.DAT
DOOR.SYS USERINFO.DAT
CALLINFO.BBS GTUSER.BBS
Add the command line below to your batch file to start the door.
For single line Systems:
request request.CFG
For Example:
@ECHO OFF
C:
CD\REQUEST
REQUEST REQUEST.CFG <-----Command Line that starts the door.
CD\BBS
For Multi-line Systems:
REQUEST REQUEST1.CFG
For Example:
@ECHO OFF
C:
CD\REQUEST
REQUEST REQUEST1.CFG <-----Command Line that starts the door.
CD\BBS
To run the door in LOCAL mode type REQUEST REQUEST.CFG /L.
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:
request request.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.
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 request would be:
request request.CFG /5 or
request request.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 request.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
Christmas
---------
With this being written on Xmas, I decided to give the registration code with
it. For your registration number type in "Merry Xmas" with out the quotes.
Case Counts.
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
