Welcome to the TAPEDOOR help file:
The TAPEDOOR purpose:
The main purpose of this door program, is to allow BBS Sysops the
ability to archive massive amounts of programs and files on a
COLORADO MEMORY SYSTEMS, INC. DJ-10 or DJ-20 tapedrive and make
those archived files available to the users of the BBS, via this
door program, for downloading.
This has the net effect of putting to use a tapedrive that normally
sits inactive most of the time and allow up to 250 megabytes of
freed-up hard drive space and thus room for newer files for the
good users of the BBS.
How to USE the TAPEDOOR door:
This is simple!
1 - At the main menu pick out which volume of the tapedrive that you
wish to work with. If only one volume number is listed, then
there is only one choice.
2 - At the volume manipulator menu, list out the available files and
(T)ag all those files that you desire to download.
3 - After you have made all your desired choices, return to the main
menu by hitting [enter].
4 - At the main menu choose, "(D)ownload", and the TAPEDOOR program
will restore those tagged files from the tapedrive to a
temporary holding directory. After all your tagged files are
restored from the tapedrive, they will be sent to you via
ZMODEM.
Please allow the tapedrive approximately 50 seconds (per tagged
file) for file restoration.
5 - Exit from this door, go off-line and enjoy your new downloads!
