SRView Door
-----------
SRView the first utility that will let your users see all the bulletins
that all the Solar Realms IBBS games create with out having to go into the
games to see them. Thus not locking down nodes on all of the SRGAMES.
Licensing and Distribution
--------------------------
This program is Shareware. To register send 5$ :
B Turner
SMYC Software
12235 China Lake DR
Dallas Texas 75253
Registration will display your name at start up and give you the great
feeling that you are of the rare breed of honest SysOps. As well as letting
you see all the top scores of each selection. (Local log in will show this
as well)
If this Program kill's your Hd or hurt's your bbs I am sorry, But that is
about it. I will hold NO responsibility for anything that Happens to your
System, or personal Life.. :)
Installation
------------
First I am hoping that you have the knowlege to unzip files as well as
edit files with your favorite editor. If you are running BRE,TAL, or FE
I would assume that you have this knowledge.
Once you have unzipped the SRVIEW??.ZIP into the directory that you want
to keep it in, Next you will have to edit your SRVIEW.CFG file.
The following drop files are supported by The SRView Door.
PCBOARD.SYS DORINFOx.DEF
USERS.SYS SFDOORS.DAT
DOOR.SYS USERINFO.DAT
CALLINFO.BBS
Edit the file SRVIEW.CFG to fit your needs.
For Example:
;C:\BBS\DOOR.SYS <--- Path to drop file
;RabbitLand II <--- BBS Name
;Bryan <--- Sysop's first name
;Turner <--- Sysop's last name
;abcd <--- Registration Code
Add the command line below to your batch file to start the door.
SRVIEW SRVIEW.CFG
For Example:
@ECHO OFF
C:
CD\SRVIEW
SRVIEW SRVIEW.CFG <-----Command Line that starts the door.
CD\RA
To run the door in LOCAL mode type SRVIEW SRVIEW.CFG /L. Or run the run.bat
that I included with this archive.
For Multi node you simply have more than one Config File for each node.
An example of this would be SRVIEW1.CFG SRVIEW2.CFG. When you call it you
pass the node number to the Batch file.
For Remote Access you would have a type 7 exit and on the Options line
you would have the following:
*C /ra/SRVIEW/SRVIEW.bat *n *m
and for your Batch file you would have the following:
cd\ra\SRVIEW
SRVIEW SRVIEW%1.cfg <---- %1 will be changed to the Node Number
cd\ra
Next you will need to make a League.CFG file. To make this easier I have
enclosed a LEAGUE.SAM that you can rename to the CFG.:
copy league.sam league.cfg
The league.cfg is a repeated file. Where as if you look at the lines they are
the same all the way down but different for each league. Here is an example:
c:\ra\bre011
Linear
c:\ra\bre012
Linear2
Each league that you will add will take 4 lines.
c:\ra\bre011 <--- Path to SRGAME. (No Backslash)
Linear <--- Description of game (not over 20)
then you repeat. This will just go on and on for each league (Up to 30
leagues.)
*******NOTE!******
If you changed ANY of your scores files output in Resource.dat you will need
to change them back. I am running off of Mehul's Defaults and where they
are with out any change ups. The Reason that you changed them is probably
to have them on a menu so your users can do what this program is designed for.
The defaults for BRE and FE are ANS and TXT files, and the default's for TAL
are ANS and ASC. All the file names are the same for all 3.
Once you finished making your league.cfg file you will need to compile it into
the dat file. To do this you will need to run SRVIEW MAKE:
Example:
SRVIEW MAKE <Enter>
This will go out and confirm what each league is and that your paths are
correct. If you get ANY errors when running this part of the program then you
do not have a path correct in the League.CFG file. Confirm that all your
paths are correct and re run it.
Anytime that you add a league you will need to run SRVIEW MAKE to update the
LEAGUE.DAT file that SRVIEW reads.
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:
SRVIEW SRVIEW.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 SRVIEW would be:
SRVIEW SRVIEW.CFG /5 or
SRVIEW SRVIEW.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 SRVIEW.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
