DSA.EXE is a very small utility which is configurable for
the GAP or other DOOR.SYS Sysop to go into any DOOR he/she chooses,
while logged in as Sysop, changing his own name to something else,
(normally his/her real name) to play the game or run the door as himself.
DSA.ZIP and its associated file DIA.ZIP are Freeware, and distributed
as a method of introducing Sysops and others to the UltraSoft name
and the many Sysop Utilities, DOS enhancement utilities and innovative
Graphic Action Door Games produced by UltraSoft.
If you want to make a contribution, as the result of benefits received
from the programs included in this package, then it is appreciated, but
is not required. In this case the address is:

======================================================================
CONFIGURATION OPTION 1: (Option 2 is easier)
Edit DSA.CFG with the first line as the location (not the FileName) of
your DOOR.SYS file. Usually it is in the C:\BBS default subdirectory,
but not always. Edit the second line as the name to intercept
upon entering any door, and the third line as the name to
change it to, to run the door. Before opening the next door, the
BBS software will reset the DOOR.SYS file back to it's original
state, so you must use DSA in each .BAT file where you want
the user name converted.
CONFIGURATION OPTION 2:
The simplest method of configuration of DSA is the DSACFG.EXE program,
but we list the detail here for the sake of understanding, in any case.
======================================================================
ALL 3 LINES MUST BE PRESENT.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Example: NOTE: Do not include notes in DSA.CFG file
DSA.CFG
~~~~~~~
Line 1: C:\BBS <== Location of Door.sys (trailing "\" ok)
Line 1: SYSOP <== Name to intercept
Line 2: STEVE HANSEN <== Name to change it to to run this DOOR
Place DSA.EXE and DSA.CFG into the \BBS Directory and put DSA
as the first command after @Echo Off in each .BAT file you wish
to run as your name, instead of Sysop.
EXAMPLE: TO RUN UltraSoft's ProChess DOOR as STEVE HANSEN
instead of SYSOP.
ProChess.BAT
~~~~~~~~~~~~ @ECHO OFF
DSA <==This will change the DOOR player name per DSA.CFG
CD\BBS\DOORS\PROCHESS
PROCHESS PROCHESS.CFG
CD\BBS
BBS (or whatever calls back in the BBS Software)
In this way, one does not have to exit after message activity or whatever,
to log back on as SYSOP, for game playing using his own name.
DSA completely ignores doors that do not have DSA in the .BAT files.
It also has no effect, if you are in the BBS as the name defined in
Line 3 of DSA.CFG nor does it affect any other users, unless you
program their name into Line 2 to be intercepted and altered.
DSA stands for DOOR.SYS ALTER, and requires the presence of BRUN45.EXE
in the system path, in the interest of size..
DSA was written by Steve Hansen of "The Pit BBS" at (808)833-1525 and is a
product of UltraSoft/UltraSystems Hawaii. There are no costs associated with
the use or distribution of this product, as long as it is distributed AS IS.
Future versions will contain added features, and the capability to add more
name conversions to catch your "game crasher" set..
As indicated above, contributions are optional.
