SYSOP DOCUMENTATION
INTRO
Add-A-Line Graffiti Door is a simple door to allow your users to enter jokes,
puns, quotes or other graffiti or to slam each other or maybe even the SysOp!
The following files should be in the AAL10 archive:
SYSOP.DOC - this documentation
AAL.EXE - Add-A-Line executable file
AAL.CFG - Sample config file
REGISTER.FRM - Registration form
DORINFO1.DEF - Sample drop file to allow testing in local mode
SETUP
ANSI.SYS or it's equivalent is REQUIRED for Add-A-Line Graffiti Door v1.0!
First extract the Add-A-Line Graffiti archive into your door directory
(ie: C:\BBS\DOORS\AAL). AAL.CFG is an ASCII file that may be edited with any
ascii editor to reflect your BBS parameters. The format is as follows:
C:\BBS\DORINFO1.DEF - Complete path and filename to your BBS dropfile
9 are supported and listed below!
The Midnight Caller - Your BBS name
John - SysOp's first name
Craven - SysOp's last name
00000000 - Registration code if registered otherwise any 8 digits
To test Add-A-Line Graffiti Door in local mode, change the first line of the
configuration file to read the dorinfo1.def file included with the archive
(ie: C:\BBS\DOORS\AAL\DORINFO1.DEF) and call AAL AAL.CFG!
Add-A-Line Graffiti Door supports the following BBS dropfiles:
DORINFOx.DEF - For RA/QBBS/RBBS (replace x with node #)
PDBOARD.SYS - For PCBoard systems using PCBOARD.SYS only
USERS.SYS - For PCBoard systems using USERS.SYS
CALLINFO.BBS - For Wildcat! systems prior to v3.2
CHAIN.TXT - For WWIV systems
SFDOORS.DAT - For Spitfire systems
DOOR.SYS - For systems that support DOOR.SYS in standard 52 line GAP format
USERINFO.DAT - For Wildcat! 3.x+ systems
GTUSER.BBS - For GT Power systems
Call the door with your door batch file and pass the config file on the command
line.
ie: CD\DOORS\AAL
AAL AAL.CFG
CD\BBS
BBS
Add-A-Line Graffiti also supports non-standard com port setups. COM 1-4 on the
standard IRQ's - COM1/COM3=IRQ4 and COM2/COM4=IRQ3. If you want to use a
non-standard IRQ, add the IRQ number after the configuration file name.
If you wanted to use COM1 and IRQ5 the command line would be:
AAL AAL.CFG /5. NO /x parameter is needed for standard IRQ's!
BAD WORDS !
At the SysOp's discretion is a "badword" checker called BADWORDS.TXT. This
file is created when the program first runs if you don't create it yourself.
If you wish to check for words you don't want entered in the Graffiti lines
use your favorite ascii editor to create BADWORDS.TXT. In it enter each word
you want to check for on a separate line, ie:
BAD
WORDS
GO
HERE
That's all there is to it!
REGISTRATION
This door was compiled with Microsoft QuickBASIC 4.5 using Ted Freeman's
DOORFRAME library. If you find this door entertaining and wish to use it
on your BBS after a 30 day trial period, it must be registered. Simply fill
out the REGISTER.FRM and mail it to the address on the form. Registration is
$5.00 for version 1.0. Simply send your registration form and I will send
you your registration code to be inserted in the configuration file.
Thanks for your support!
