RELEASE OF THE TEST DRIVE DOOR.
Setting up The ON-LINE Catalog is fairly simple,
OLCONFIG.EXE GENERAL SETUP, PATHS, CATAGORY DESCRIPTIONS
CATALOG.EXE CATAGORY ITEMS AND EXTENDED INFO MODULE
MAINT.EXE ORDER PROCESSING MODULE
OLCAT.EXE THE DOOR PROGRAM
NOTE: OLCONFIG.EXE FUNCTIONS AS THE MAIN MODULE, ALL MODULES CAN BE
ACCESSED FROM THIS PROGRAM.
You may send a run time parameter for the .CFG file when running
olcat.exe, ie olcat.exe c:\bbs\door.sys
This tells olcat where to find Door.sys (gap version)
Sample Door#.bat file:
cd\wildcat\door\olcat
olcat.exe c:\bbs\door.sys
cd\wildcat
If no parameter is sent, olcat.exe will DEFAULT to the path specified
in OLCONFIG.EXE. single node systems need only use OLCONFIG.EXE to set this.
Multi node operation is possible, but requires the parameter to specify
the path to door.sys i.e. : olcat.exe c:\wc30\wcwork\node2\door.sys
NOTE: THIS DOOR IS NOT YET RATED FOR SIMULTANEOUS MULTIPLE USERS!
ON A MULTI-NODE SYSTEM DO NOT ALLOW MORE THEN ONE CALLER AT
A TIME INTO THIS DOOR. WHILE IT MOST LIKELY WOULD FUNCTION
SAFELY, IT COULD CORRUPT YOUR DATA FILES OF SAVED QUOTES.
With a conversion program, The ON-LINE Catalog will run on any bbs type,
just convert the existing caller info file into DOOR.SYS (gap version)
The ON-LINE Catalog does it's own monitoring of the active comport.
No need for any watchdog type program.
Standard Comports 1-4 are supported.
To Order the Registered Version, send $65.00 (cash or check)
with a completed printout of the enclosed REGISTER.TXT file to:
