───────────────Welcome────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Welcome to The CD-ROM Access Door, This is a Easy to use,
easy to setup and Well supported ONLINE Door for Access
to ANY CD-ROM Available. It is totally configurable with
up to 1000 Differen't file areas!. It has built in support
for several protocols plus an option to allow the file to
be copied to a sysop configurable directory so that the
file/time can be subtracted from the user account.
It supports a full range of BBS Types Suchas PCBoard, WildCat
DOOR.SYS and ANY bbs that can use doors.
This door has been through over a year of development and is by
far the most superior on the market. It is FULLY FUNCTIONAL
NON CRIPPLED Shareware. We feel that those that use this door
will register it.
This door was first concieved after a discussion on lack of
good CD-ROM Access doors. It was originally named the CARRS
CD-ROM Door, back then it was hardcoded for the PDSI-004 ROM
Published by the Night Owl's.

───────────────Descriptions of files:─────────────────────────────────────────
■ ROM.DOC
This is the setup and operation instructions for the Door, Including
Registration form, License and (c) Notices.
■ WELCOME
This is an ASCII Text file displayed to Callers who open the Door and
are in NON Graphics mode. You can use your Favorite TEXT Editor or an
Ansi Editor which can save in ASCII (Suchas Thedraw). You may also use
the default supplied screen.
See the file Included with this ZIP file named 'WELCOME' for an example
■ WELCOMEG
This is an ANSI Color file displayed to Callers who open the Door and
are in Graphics mode. You can use your Favorite ANSI Editor or any
Editor which can save in ANSI/ASCII format (Suchas Thedraw). You may
also use the default supplied screen.
See the file Included with this ZIP file named 'WELCOMEG' for an example
■ DIR
This is an ASCII Text file displaying the Areas available when the 'F'
command is selected from within the door. It should contain the area
numbers and a description of the area.
See the file Included with this ZIP file named 'DIR' for an example
■ DIRG
This is an ANSI Color file displaying the Areas available when the 'F'
command is selected from within the door. It should contain the area
numbers and a description of the area.
See the file Included with this ZIP file named 'DIRG' for an example
■ DLPATH.LST
This is a text file that has the available Downloadable paths on it.
It will be in the format:
C:\DIR1
C:\DIR2
C:\DIR3
Etc..
This is used when the Door searches for the Download selection.
Each line should have only 1 Directorie But SHOULD NOT have a Trailing
backslash '\'.
use the Sample DLPATH.LST for a base to model your own after.
Remember, ANY Directories listed in here can be downloaded by anyone
with access to the ROM Door. (Unless you specify to make users download
files from the BBS).
■ ROM.CTL
This is the Main configuration file and should be edited for your
system's needs, Here is a line by line description of each line and
a description of it's use.
LINE1: 95WR7G97N - Your Regitration Code for the Door.
LINE2: Northwest PC Link - Your BBS name, Use with line 1.
LINE3: PDSI-004 - the ROM Name
LINE4: NO - NO or YES, If this Line is 'NO' Users will be
Able to download from INSIDE the door and no
BYTE/DL Charges will be made to the users Account
If LINE 4 is 'YES' The file the user requests to
Download will be copied to the Directory specified
on line 5. That way a user WILL be charged for the
download. After requesting the file, The door will
first check it's existance, If the file DOES Exist
it will be copied to The DIR Specified in line 5
and the user will be shown a message like this:
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│File <FILENAME>, has been copied to the BBS, You can download it │
│from the BBS as <FILENAME> │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
where <FILENAME> would be replaced with the
actual file the user requested.
LINE5: D:\UP - The Directory that the Requested file will be
copied to If LINE4 is 'YES'
LINE6: DLPATH.LST - Filename For the Downloadable path list
See above for an Explanation.
LINE7: AREAS.NAM - Line NOT USED, Ignore it.
LINE8: 34 - *IMPORTANT* this contains the ACTUAL
Number of AREAS Available on the ROM!
Each line after this would point to a TEXT File
describing the Area. For Example if LINE8: was
4, There would be 4 File areas to choose from.
EACH line after this would Point to a Text file
Describing that specific area.
LINE9: G:\ROM1\DIR1 - When '1' Was pressed from the 'F' menu, This file
would be displayed.
LINE10: G:\ROM1\DIR2 - When '2' Was pressed from the 'F' menu, This file
would be displayed.
LINE11: G:\ROM1\DIR3 - When '3' Was pressed from the 'F' menu, This file
would be displayed.
And so on, If LINE8: Was '31' there would be 31 more lines following,
Each line would Display a differen't file. Understand? Naah, I will make it a
try to explain it a more:
If LINE8 were 34, There would be 34 More lines following,
The FIRST line Following would be displayed when '1' was Pressed frm the file
menu
The SECOND line Following would be displayed when '2' was Pressed frm the file
menu
The THIRD line Following would be displayed when '3' was Pressed frm the file
menu
The FOURTH Line following would be displayed when '4' was Pressed frm the file
menu
And so on and so on..
Hope that helps to understand. I may always be reached On my Voice Line for
Additional questions On the setup of this Door.
■ ROM.EXE
This is the main EXECUTABLE Program, it is Definately required to run
the Door. The format for Running the door would be:
ROM <DOORFILE> Where <DOORFILE> would be The DOOR file created by the
BBS or by a convertor suchas QKDOOR.
An Example might be: ROM C:\PCB\PCBOARD.SYS
Optionally you can specify a NON STANDARD COM: Port and Tell whether
a FOSSIL Driver is installed.
With a NON Standard COM Port a Valid Example would be:
ROM <DOORTYPE> <COMINFO> Where <COMINFO> would be in the format:
PORT:03E8:5 so PORT:[COMBASE]:[IRQ] If the <COMINFO> parameter is
supplied it will OVERRIDE ANY INFO IN <DOORTYPE>
An Example might be: ROM C:\PCB\PCBOARD.SYS PORT:03E8:5
if a fossil driver is installed you would use the format:
ROM <DOORTYPE> <FOSSINFO> where <FOSSINFO> would be in the format:
PORT:F:1 so PORT:[F]:[PORT] Where [F] means USE fossil and [PORT]
tells the DOOR which PORT to use fossil on (1 for port 1, 2 for port
2 and so on..).
An Example might be: ROM C:\PCB\PCBOARD.SYS PORT:F:1
* NOTE: You CANNOT use the PORT:x:n AND the PORT:xxxx:x At the SAME
time.
■ SEND_G.BAT, SEND_X.BAT, SEND_Y.BAT, SEND_Z.BAT
These are the External Batch files used if the DOOR is used for
transfers. ROM.EXE Shells to COMMAND.COM and Executed with the
following Parameters:
%1 = Uart Base Like: '03F8' (Can be used for NON Standard COM Ports
And DSZ portx command)
%2 = IRQ, the Interrupt in which the COM Port is on.
%3 = Full path+filename to file being Downloaded Like:
'L:\001A\FILE.ZIP'
%4 = COM Port (Suchas 1 or 2) Can be used with DSZ port command
%5 = Caller Connect Speed Like '2400'
%6 = Locked Baud Rate Like: '19200'
See the Supplied SEND_n.BAT files for Examples.
