Welcome to PAGE. A handy way to screen annoying users who love to page
you at all hours! With PAGE, you determine which hours the bell will
ring. User who page, can leave a 1 line message with their reason for
bothering you. The page log will be displayed when you use PAGE.
This door works with GAP, PCBoard, Wildcat, Spitfire, WWIV, and RBBS,
as well as any BBS that generates a DOOR.SYS file when running a door.
The setup of PAGE is simple, all you need to do is type SETUP from
the DOS command line. To call PAGE from a batch file use:
PAGE NODE=x
x= your node number, use 1 for single node BBS.
Users can leave a line for you when they page, and when you use PAGE,
you can see the user comments. You will then have an option to delete
the comments.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following sysop functions are available while awaiting
keyboard input :
F5 - Shell to DOS.
F8 - Twit user and return to BBS.
F10 - Initiate chat with user.
CF10 - Answer user page bell.
Home - Main user stats.
End - Displays sysop keys available.
PgDn - Secondary user stats.
Up Arrow - Increase user's time remaining by 5 minutes.
Dn Arrow - Decrease user's time remaining by 5 minutes.
One of the nicer features about using the TWIT key, is the user
is not told that "the sysop wants them to return to the BBS".
Instead, a very plain and simple message of "returning you to the
BBS" is displayed. This way, the user is given no indication
that the sysop is hovering about.
When using the F5 shell to DOS key, to return to the door
program, simply type EXIT at the DOS command prompt. It is not
necessary to change directories back to the door directory.
Page is smart enough to know which drive and directory the
door program is in and will reset the defaults upon return from
DOS.
The Up and Down Arrow keys increase and decrease the user's time
respectively by 5 minutes for each press of the key. There is no
indication of what is occurring (except by the fact the user's
time remaining will change), so the sysop should try not to have
a lead finger. The increase or decrease is effective only while
the user is in Page.
If you like this program, and are going to use it on your BBS,
please read REGISTER.DOC for more information.
Have Fun!
