S E N D N O T E v. 2.2

for the TriBBS Bulletin Board System
------------------------------------
First of all:
------------
Do NOT use this on versions of TriBBS PREVIOUS to 2.0!!!!!!!
Now that THAT'S out of the way......
Hello!!
Thanks for downloading this TriBBS door! Basically, what this door
does is allow you and/or your users to send a 10 line message to a user
when (s)he logs on. It is up to you in your DOORS.MNU as to who as
access to it (I let all users have access to it at this point). This note
will be saved in both ANSI (.ans) and ASCII (.bbs).
SendNote has multi-node capabilities; all you have to do is make
separate configuration files for each node! It's THAT easy!
SendNote now also adds the ability to send one note to up to 10
people!
Setup
-----
1) Make a directory for the door, and move all files included in this
ZIP file into that directory.
2) Make or edit the configuration file. Call it whatever you want,
but whatever you name it, has to be the first parameter on the
command line for SendNote to run. For multiple nodes,
create one config file for each node. Call them something
like SNOTE1.CFG, SNOTE2.CFG or something like that. This is a simple
EIGHT line ascii file that contains the following:
Line 1 - DOOR Data File type (can be: PCB,SF or GAP).
(PCB=PCBoard,SF=SpitFire,GAP=DOOR.SYS)
Line 2 - Path to the above door data file
Line 3 - Your BBS's Name
Line 4 - Sysops first and last name
Line 5 - Locked baud rate (0 if not locked!)
Line 6 - Path to node 1's main directory
Line 7 - Registration Code (0 if unregistered)
Line 8 - Minimum security level to be able to send
multi-mail.
Make sure there are NO leading or trailing spaces!!
3) Next, go add a line similiar to the following in your DOORS.MNU:
D,SendNote,sendnote,10
Make sure that that first letter corresponds with the door data
type that you told SENDNOTE that you were going to use. (P,D or S).
4) Now you will have to make the 'batch' file to run the door. Here is what
mine looks like:
cd\TriBBS\doors\sendnote
sendnote sendnote.cfg
cd\TriBBS
board.bat
Make sure this is in your node's main TriBBS directory, and make
sure that you use the correct filename for the configuration file
when you run SendNote.
SPECIAL KEYS
------------
While a door is running, the sysop can press certain special keys
to perform a variety of functions. The following is a list of
the functions that the SendNote special keys perform:
Key(s) Function
HOME Toggles between the user status window and a
help display that lists the RMDoor special
keys.
F6 Takes 5 minutes away from the caller.
F7 Gives 5 minutes to the caller.
F9 Quit the door and return the caller to the
BBS.
F10 Enter chat mode. Pressing the ESC key exits
the chat mode.
Alt+D Drop to DOS.
Disclaimer
----------
This product is provided AS IS. No warrenties, guarantees PERIOD! I cannot
and WILL NOT be responsible for anything this does or does not do.
Shareware
---------
Please note that this is NOT crippleware. ALL features of the door can
be used without registering it. But, for my time and energy, I would really
appreciate the registration. Read on for an incentive:
This product is SHAREWARE. Please help support shareware by
registering this door. By registering, you will get your own
registration number that will rid you of the [UNREGISTERED SHAREWARE]
notice, and will in place say "Registered to: [Your BBS's name here]".
The code will work with this, and all future versions of Sendnote.
This code will be mailed to you, in a letter.
To order, print and fill out REGFORM.TXT and mail
it to me along with a check payable in the amount of $15 (United
States Currency) plus whatever other charges might be found
in REGFORM.TXT, to the address at the bottom of the form.
Yes, the price for SendNote HAS gone up...This was due to three reasons
really: 1) It's Multi-node capable, 2) I've put a LOT of time into
this, and all of my doors and 3) I'm always broke <GRIN>. I think
you'll agree, that SendNote is worth the registration.
---------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE make sure that your BBS's name in REGFORM.TXT is EXACTLY
how it is in your configuration file!!!!!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------
Registrations will NOT be done via my BBS--only thru U.S. Mail.
Support IS available on my BBS though, if any problems should arise.
I can also be reached on FidoNET at: 1:326/301
I can also be reached thru the Intelec TriBBS conference.
I can also be reahed in the TriBBS Network Admin or Chat conferences.
I can ALSO be reached on The Lobster Buoy (207-941-0805).
