HOW TO USE PRO MATCHMAKER :
--------------------------------
1. To run PMATCH1.exe locally, use this on your command line:
PMATCH1 LOCAL
2. ALWAYS include the name of your .cfg file when calling up PMATCH1 as an
online door: For example for node 1
PMATCH1 DOOR1.CFG
3. For non standard IRQs, you can use this for an example:
PMATCH1 DOOR1.CFG /5
* PLEASE don't write and ask what IRQs to use on your non-standard systems.
I've run comport 1 for 5 years and I have no idea in the world what your IRQs
or system setup might be. That's -your- responsibility to know the setup of
your system. Thanks.
4. It is highly recommended you use the internal communications routines but
if you must you can call PMATCH1 with a fossil driver. For Example:
PMATCH1 DOOR1.CFG /FD
Notice to use the fossil driver you put a /FD on the command line.
* PLEASE NOTE: -Only- use the /FD command if the door's internal
communications routines don't work on your system. The door utilizes it's
own communications routines which are more reliable then the fossil driver
selection available with the door. Remember- even if your mailer and / or BBS
requires a fossil to run, this door doesn't require a fossil.
* On 486DX Cpu's the math co-processors can't handle the floating point math.
To fix this in your autoexec.bat file put in SET NO87=ON .
SUPPORT FILES NEEDED TO RUN PMATCH1:
------------------------------------
DSZ.EXE or some other external protocol engine to upload and download attaches
on classified ads. %1 is the comport passed to the batch, %2 is the filename.
PKZIP/PKUNZIP is needed to zip up/unzip outgoing interbbs packages.
ABOUT YOUR DOOR CONFIG FILE
----------------------------------
Your config file is ascii file that has on the first line the
path to your BBS drop file AND the name of your BBS drop file.
On the second line is the name of your BBS. On the third line
is your First name and on your Fourth line is your last name.
(WHEN REGISTERING, THEY MUST BE EXACTLY LIKE YOU REGISTERED THE
PROGRAM)
Example .cfg file:
c:\sbbs\node1\door.sys
Compu<>Link Online
Jerry
Woody
DOOR*.CFG =MUST= reside in the same directory as PMATCH1.EXE!
PMATCH1 MUST BE RUN FROM IT'S OWN DIRECTORY; NOT THROUGH A PATH STATEMENT,
ETC.
ABOUT *UP.BAT and *DOWN.BAT:
----------------------------
Enclosed are sample .bat files to call dsz upload for Display Advertising.
You can edit these to custom configure your system. Ymodem, Xmodem and Zmodem
is supported. THE SIMPLIEST DSZ CALL HAVE BEEN PUT INTO THE
*UP.BAT BATCH FILES INCLUDED IN THIS ARCHIVE. YOU NEED TO RE-WRITE THEM TO
CONFIGURE THEM TO YOUR SYSTEM. Same with *DOWN.BAT files.
ABOUT NODE.DAT
----------------
EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT RUNNING INTERBBS WITH THIS DOOR, YOU MUST HAVE THIS FILE
AVAILABLE. WHAT FOLLOWS IS THE FILE FORMAT AND EXAMPLE FOR NONE INTERBBS
SYSTEMS AND INTERBBS SYSTEMS.
This file lists your uplinks/downlinks for networking Promatch File
databases. It must be in the following format:
ZONE
NET
NODE
POINT
etc.
For example for a BBS participating InterBBS:
1
3607
21
0
1
3607
20
0
REMEMBER THIS IS THE FILE FOR YOUR UP/DOWNLINKS FOR PROMATCH.
Here is an example for non-InterBBS Systems:
0
0
0
0
The sample node.dat included is setup for non-InterBBS systems. Edit it to
your needs.
ABOUT MAIL.CFG
--------------
MAIL.CFG MUST BE PRESENT EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT RUNNING INTERBBS WITH PROMATCH.
WHAT FOLLOWS IS THE FILE FORMAT AND EXAMPLES FOR NON-INTERBBS SYSTEMS AND
INTERBBS SYSTEM.
This config file is read by PMAIL1.EXE which is the heart of the networking
part of PMATCH1. It must be in the following format:
YOUR NAME
YOUR ZONE
YOUR NET
YOUR NODE
YOUR POINT
PATH TO YOUR PMATCH1 DIRECTORY
PATH FOR OUTBOUND .MSG MESSAGES
PATH FOR INCOMING FILES AREA
For Example for a BBS participating in an InterBBS network:
Jerry Woody
1
3607
20
0
c:\SBBS\XTRN\MATCH
c:\fd\mail
c:\fd\file
For example for a BBS NOT participating in an InterBBS network:
YOUR NAME
0
0
0
0
PATH TO YOUR PMATCH1 DIRECTORY
PATH TO YOUR PMATCH1 DIRECTORY
PATH TO YOUR PMATCH1 DIRECTORY
RUNNING PMAIL1.EXE
-------------------
You should run PMAIL1.EXE during your nightly maintenance event. Pmail1.exe
will delete MatchMaking data more than 30 days old and Classified ads more
than 30 days old. No one should be online while running PMAIL1.EXE as it may
and probably WILL corrupt data files.
ALSO...
PMAIL1 will handle all outgoing file attaches and incoming files and add them
to your databases, and send outgoing netmail and get incoming netmail.
PMAIL1 reads the following files : Mail.cfg, Node.dat
IF YOU ENCOUNTER ERRORS WITH PMAIL1:
===================================
PMAIL1 is the most complicated part of ProMatch. If it quits working or
seems to "hang" delete the following files out of your PMATCH1 Directory:
MATCH.!!!
MATCH.TMP
*.MSG
Delete these files ONLY if Pmail1 stops working. If everything works smoothly
then PMAIL1 will process and delete those files automatically. If you have
trouble and don't know how to fix it contact me.
ABOUT MATCH.QUE:
================
Questions asked in the MatchMaking part are 100% sysop configurable.
Included is a sample questionaire called MATCH.QUE. The format is as follows:
THE FIRST LINE MUST BE HOW MANY QUESTIONS ARE CONTAINED IN THE FILE.
Then begin the questions:
QUESTION
HOW MANY POSSIBLE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTION
QUESTION
HOW MANY POSSIBLE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTION
and so on. If the Question is NOT Multiple Choice then the HOW MANY POSSBILE
ANSWERS TO THE QUESTION WOULD BE 0. For multiple choice you would put in
the number of possible multiple choice questons. For example, here is a 2
question MATCH.QUE
2
What is your age:
0
Do you Smoke:
2
[Y]es
[N]o
ABOUT MATCH.LST
===============
Match.LST is the matching criteria asked the user when making a match.
IMPORTANT: MATCH.LST MUST HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF QUESTIONS, SAME NUMBER OF
ANSWERS AND SAME FORMAT AS MATCH.QUE. You would ONLY change the way the
Questions are phrased. For example, MATCH.QUE asks the user for information
about him/herself. MATCH.LST asks the user for information on the person(s)
he/she wants to match. For example, using the above 2 question MATCH.QUE,
here would be a 2 question MATCH.LST
2
What is the age range of the person you are looking for:
0
Would you go out with a Smoker:
2
[Y]es
[N]o
Included in this archive are 2 match.* files that will serve as good examples.
Edit them as you need or write others.
IMPORTANT: WHEN RUNNING INTERBBS, ALL BBSES IN THE NETWORK MUST HAVE THE
SAME MATCH.QUE AND THE SAME MATCH.LST; Otherwise things will get messed up
royally!
IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO BLANK LINES AT THE END OF ANY TEXT FILES
IF YOU EDIT THEM.
PLEASE NOTE. THIS IS NOT FREEWARE BUT SHAREWARE. IF YOU
USE IT THEN -PAY- FOR IT. If you don't you might save a few
bucks now but in a few years when the shareware system doesn't work
and most of the door authors have gone commercial you'll be
wishing you'd registered your shareware material. 'Nuff said.
If you have questions or problems feel free to call me voice at 205-737-1929.
If I'm in the office I'll be happy to help you, BUT PLEASE NOTE I CANNOT
RETURN YOUR CALLS IF I'M NOT HERE. PRICING THE DOORS SO LOW IF I CALLED
EVERYONE BACK I'D SOON BE SELLING THE COMPUTER TO PAY MA BELL. You can reach
me netmail at 1:3607/20, snail mail (Include an SASE for a reply) to the
address on the order.frm. There have been questions on ordering my doors... I
really don't understand the problem, the process is simple: FILL OUT THE
ORDER.FRM, SEND CHECK OR MONEY ORDER AND MAIL IT TO THE ADDRESS ON THE ORDER
FROM. Your registration code will be mailed to you via usps.
