SETUP
═════
ABOUT THE .CFG FILE
----------------------------------
In 99% of all cases, you will not need to touch the .cfg
file. All configuration that you need is passed on the
command line.
The .CFG file is provided for those BBS's which have
unusual characteristics or require specific customization.
You should not need to worry about altering the .CFG file.
If you do require use of the .CFG file, it must reside
in the same directory as the door's .EXE.
Supported BBS Drop Files:
─────────────────────────
DORINFOx.DEF
EXITINFO.BBS
CHAIN.TXT
DOOR.SYS
CALLINFO.BBS
SFDOORS.DAT
and possibly many others. Just try it. Customizeable drop file is also
available within the .cfg file.
If your drop file is not on the list, and works, let me know and I'll add
it to the list.
On-Line Sysop Commands
──────────────────────
While a caller is on-line, the local sysop has several options. They are
as follows:
Alt: [C]hat [H]angup [L]ockout [J]Dos
[K]eyboard-Off [D]rop to BBS
[UP]/[DOWN] - Use the arrow keys to increase or decrease the
amount of time which the user has left in the
door.
[Alt]-[C] - Allows the sysop to break into chat with the user
at any time. [Alt]-[C] again, or [ESC] will end
chat mode. This function invokes a split screen
sysop chat.
[Alt]-[J] - Allows the sysop to shell to DOS, if enough memory
is available. Simply type EXIT to return to the
door again. BE SURE TO HIT "R" for REDRAW when
returning to the Door.
[Alt]-[H] - Hang up on the user. When the sysop does this,
the program will close files with a safe exit
back to your BBS system in "wait for call" mode.
[Alt]-[L] - This key locks the user out of the BBS. It first
hangs up on the user, and then sets their security
level to 0, to prevent them from ever logging on
again. This feature may require use of the
EXITINFO.BBS file, depending on what system the
door is running under.
[Alt]-[K] - The "User Keyboard-Off" key allows the sysop to
temporarily prevent the user from typing anything
on their keyboard. This has no effect on the local
keyboard, but causes the program to ignore any
keystrokes from remote.
[Alt]-[N] - The "Sysop Next" key, this function reserves the
system for use by the sysop after the user logs
off, if the door is running under an Apex or RA
1.00 or later system.
[Alt]-[D] - "Drop to BBS" key. This function allows the sysop
to exit the door and return the user to the BBS,
without hanging up.
