PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The BBS List maintains a listing of other Bulletin Board Systems. A user
may add a new listing, edit a listing or delete a listing. The user can only
edit or delete a listing the they have added. The system operator has complete
control and may edit or delete a listing at any time. A Registered SysOp is
allowed to delete listing that are older that a given date.
The User may search the database of listings for a matching Area Code. If
found the Information is display one at a time until all have been listed.
The User may download a file named BBS.TXT which is a complete listing of
all the BBS Listings. NOTE: the Shareware file DSZ.COM must be present in
the BBS List Directory. BBSLIST Download supports Zmodem, YModem, or XModem
transfers.
A registered SysOp can opt to have a Bulletin or Goodbye Screen generated
by creating a SysOp.cfg file. The Screens contain 3 other bulletin board
systems that the user may call, if you use the provided Sysop.CFG file.
By changing the 3 to 999 then the generated screen will contain 999 BBSes.
A value of 6 will fill the screen, the choice is yours.
These bulletin board systems come from the list of BBSes that users add
through the BBSLIST program. The 3 board listed in the screen file are
rotated everytime the Blist program is run, if you did not specify (999)
BBSes to be listed.
Below is an example of the SysOp config we use file.
SysOp.CFG File;
C:\display\GoodBye.ANS <----Line 1 Ansi Screen
C:\display\GoodBye.BBS <----Line 2 Monochrome Screen
3 <----Line 3 Number of BBSes to List
The included program 'Blist.exe' must be called to generate these screens.
We suggest that you use a Blist.Bat file to do this.
Example Blist.Bat file;
cd\bbslist <----Change to BBSLIST Directory
blist <----Run Blist
cd\bbs <----Change back to BBS directory
board <----Restart the BBS
The Door may be run by the SysOp Locally by typing BBSLIST BBSLIST.CFG /L
to better evaluate the door.

CONFIGURATION: (Your BBSLIST.CFG file)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The BBS List door supports the Following Door Data Types:
PCB -- PcBoard
GAP -- Gap (Door.sys)
SF -- SpitFire
RBBS -- RBBS
WC -- WildCat
TRIBBS -- Tribbs
WWIV -- WWIV
Example configuration file for PCBOARD.SYS
------------------------------------------
PCB <=- (Door Data File Type See Above)
C:\PCB\ <=- (Full pathname of your PCBOARD.SYS file)
The GATE <=- (Change this to your BBS name)
Dick Miller <=- (The Sysop's name)
38400 <=- (Locked Baud Rate or 0 for not Locked)
** Please see your individual door documentation on setting up doors!
Environment Variables
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PCBoard automatically creates the %PCBDRIVE% & %PCBDIR% environment
variables. Non-PCBoard systems may also use these variables by including
the following in either your BBS batch or AUTOEXEC.BAT
SET PCBDRIVE=C: <- Drive letter of your BBS files
SET PCBDIR=\BBSDIR <- Path to your BBS files
Then in your Door .CFG file instead of putting C:\BBSDIR\DOOR.SYS, you
would put %PCBDRIVE%%PCBDIR%\DOOR.SYS. This allows you to use just one
.CFG file for multi-node operation!
To specify a non-standard IRQ, put the IRQ number after the .CFG on the
command line. For example:
BBSLIST BBSLIST.CFG 5
or using the PCBDRIVE procedure: SET IRQ=5 and use
BBSLIST BBSLIST.CFG /%IRQ%
This tells the program to use IRQ 5 instead of the standard IRQ.
