APPENDIX ? -- How to run RBBS-PC CPC15-1A with 14-1x DOORWARE Programs
----------------------------------------------------------------------
To those who have written comments in regards to our DOORWARE Programs, we
would like to thank you and hope that we can continue developing more of
out DOORWARE Programs in the future.
Due to the many changes made in RBBS-PC CPC15-1A we must also provide new
versions of our DOORWARE Programs. However the new 15.1A versions of the
software will not be available until early April. We are not only make
the programs compatible with RBBS-PC CPC15-1A but are also adding many new
enhancements to them. Like: Color, Music, File Locking, and more ...
RBBS-PC CPC15-1A really has come a long way since CPC14-1D. And we hope
that you will update to the new version as soon as possible. But in doing
so you would not be able to run our DOORWARE Programs easily. So, I have
taken the time get you around this problem until the new 15.1A versions of
the DOORWARE Programs are available. Hopefully this will help you in that
task:
You will need to put all of the DOORWARE Programs and your RBBS-PC.DEF
file(s) from RBBS-PC CPC14-1D into their own subdirectory or on a
different drive of your system. Edit your DOORS Batch file(s) that
RBBS-PC invokes to change to the subdirectory or drive letter, then have
it run the DOORWARE Program, and then have the batch file change back to
the RBBS-PC default directory or drive letter.
Example:
Contents of GAMES.BAT
CD \DOORWARE
MONITOR %1
CD \BBS-MAIN
I would also like to point out at this time that the Batch files for
DOORS in RBBS-PC CPC15-1A have changed a little bit. As you can see from
the above example of GAMES.BAT, it is no longer necessary to have
different Batch files for each RBBS-PC Node. RBBS-PC now passes the
Node ID to the Batch file. And the other change is it is no longer
necessary to have the DOORS Batch file re-invoke the RBBS Batch file.
This will be taken care of by RBBS-PC loading a COMMAND Processor to
invoke the DOORS Batch file.
Be sure to remember to make the changes to all of your DOORS Batch files
and to keep your RBBS-PC.DEF file(s) from RBBS-PC CPC14-1D. If you do
not have the .DEF file(s) from RBBS-PC CPC14-1D, hang in there April is
not that far away.
If you have any questions, just let me know and I will do my best to help
you when I can.
