'Da List! version 1.0
By Jeff Rigo, SysOp of Anonymous Plague BBS
(412)653-4711 FidoNet 1:129/154 14.4k HST TAG 2.6
What it does:
'Da List is a DOOR, that is, it is a program written to be run in a bulletin
board environment, capable of receiving input from the remote end.
But that's not all! Its also a BBS LIST program. Its a database for storing
BBS numbers and information in a very neat manner.
Files included:
NAME | DESCRIPTION
===========================================================================
DA_LIST.EXE | Main file, run on shell to dos. The actual program.
DA_LIST.DOC | YOU'RE READING IT!
DA_LIST.CTL | Control File. This file contains certain BBS info. Read on.
DA_LIST.REG | Registration code file. Codes to determine registration.
DA_LIST.TXT | BBS listing created by 'Da List. ASCII format
DA_LIST.LOG | SysOp log file. Keeps track of what was done.
DA_LIST.BAT | Sample batch file
DA_LIST.ASC | ASCII (non-color) menu for 'Da List
DA_LIST.ANS | ANSI (color) menu for 'Da List
REGISTER.DOC | ASCII file to edit and mail for registration
Setup:
Setup of 'Da List is very easy. Simply follow these steps:
1) Create a subdirectory for the program. C:\BBS\DA_LIST is a good choice.
2) UnArchive all files into this directory
3) Edit the DA_LIST.CTL file. Change BBS and SysOp names, BBS types, etc.
4) Edit the enclosed .BAT file for your BBS. Consult your BBS manual for
more information. Read on for a sample.
5) Test it!
Running 'Da List:
'Da List uses a command line for execution. The syntax is as follows:
DA_LIST /Nx /P<path>
/Nx : This is the node that you are running on if in a DORINFOx.DEF
multi-node environment. /N1 for only one node systems.
/P<path> : This is the path to the BBS drop file (DORINFOx.DEF, DOOR.SYS, etc)
Examples follow:
DA_LIST /N1 /PC:\BBS
This tells 'Da List to load in a one-node environment and look for the
BBS drop file in the directory C:\BBS
DA_LIST /N2 /PC:\DA_LIST
This tells 'Da List to load for node 2 and to look for the BBS drop file
in C:\DA_LIST
Deleting BBS listings:
If you want to delete the listing, feel free to do so to make a new one.
HOWEVER: You must edit the DA_LIST.REG file and change the last line to
"0000". This resets the program to start fresh. ALSO: You must either
create a blank DA_LIST.TXT file or use the started one that came in the
archive. 'DA LIST WILL GIVE A RUNTIME ERROR 002 IF A FILE IS MISSING!!!
CHECK FILE LIST TO SEE WHICH ONE!!!
Registration:
I know what you're thinking: "Why should I register? I can always get
another." But look what you'd be missing in the registered version:
o Unlimited number of BBS listings [UNREGISTERED = 7]
o Internal ZModem downloading of the listing
o Notification by mail of next version
o FREE Registration on all future versions
How to register:
To register 'Da List, simply fill out the REGISTER.DOC file with any text
editor and mail it along with $5 to:
Jeff Rigo
156 Woodland Dr
Pgh, PA 15236
You will receive, by mail, the necessary codes to be entered into the
DA_LIST.REG file that will enable registered features. You must use your
real name when registering, for legal purposes.
Sample batch file:

EXIT
