EAGLE DOORS
Information about EAGLE on-line DOOR's
Ivan Martinez
FidoNet 4:801/6
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- All Eagle DOORs support DESQView
When waiting for keyboard, or Serial Port the program call DesqView
to change Task optimizing system performance.
- All Eagle DOORs check CARRIER status
- All DOORs are multi-line compatible. with correct file-locking
Note: It is assumed that one user cannot be logged in 2 lines at
the same time.
- SHARE.EXE must be loaded for file locking in Multi-Node systems
- All Eagle DOORs support ANSI and AVT/0 graphics
ANSI and AVT/0 support does not need any type of driver (ANSI.SYS or
AVATAR.SYS)
- All RA Compatible DOORs support RA TextFiles Control Codes
(Including the new ^K!, used to display a textfile)
- All PCBoard DOORs support PCBoard @ Control Codes
- The DOORs mantain a status line
Where you can see information about user. (Just like RA !)
The special keys for use with the doors are :
F1-F6 = change status line
F8 = Extra Information
F9 = display some help information
F10 = Enables/Disables Status line
ALT-H = HangUp User (with random Noise)
ALT-G = Random Noise...
Up arrow = Increments user time
Down arrow = Decrements user time
Page Up = Increments download limit
Page Down = Decrements download limit
ALT-D = Enables/Disables local screen
ALT-J = Shell to DOS. Only available in some DOORs
ALT-C = CHAT with user. Only available in some DOORs
ALT-F = Troggle filter mode
ALT-B = Troggle local beep mode
ALT-M = Troggle Color/Mono local display
Note: In Full Screen CHAT mode, the status line will be disabled
- There is a Main Configuration File: EAGLE.CFG
Therefore there is no need to reconfigurate any of the Eagle Doors
Common Options in each Eagle Door you add to your system.
Note: The DOOR will search for EAGLE.CFG in the current directory
or in the path defined in EAGLE environment variable.
i.e. SET EAGLE=C:\RA\EAGLE.CFG
- The DOORs can use any fossil driver compatible with RA and FD
(I recommend the X00 and BNU fossil drivers)
- In the execution of some external programs part of memory allocated
by DOOR's can be swapped to XMS or disk.
EAGLE DOORS FEATURES
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- The Sysop can use 43/50 lines (EGA/VGA) in some DOORS
(See the EAGLE.CFG)
- Log files are Front Door style or Opus Style
- Errorlevel's on Exit :
00 - Normal exit
01 - Carrier Lost

- All Eagle DOORs use an environment variable called TASK
This variable is used by Remote Access and Front Door.
If you define the TASK variable, the configuration of LineNum in
EAGLE.CFG will not be necessary.
The TASK variable should indicate the node number.
i.e.: SET TASK=1 to node 1.
Information about running Multi-Line systems :
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- Create one configuration file for each line.
i.e. EAGLE_01.CFG EAGLE_02.CFG ....
- Define the environment variable EAGLE, for each line pointing to
correct file.
i.e. Line 1 -> SET EAGLE=C:\RA\EAGLE_01.CFG
Line 2 -> SET EAGLE=C:\RA\EAGLE_02.CFG
- Load SHARE.EXE in memory
(For more information you can make a FREQ for MULTILINE from Eagle)
