| - | DOOR.SYS FORMAT'S | ||
| - | FORMAT #1: | ||
| - | |||
| - | DOORWAY recognizes 2 DOOR.SYS formats. It will determine which you are using | ||
| - | if you enter SYS on the command line after DOORWAY. The first is common to | ||
| - | DOORWAY, the second to several BOARD packages, such as GAP. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Many users of other than PCBoard have asked that doorway use a simpler | ||
| - | and more consistant ASCII file for door support than PCBOARD.SYS. Starting | ||
| - | with version 1.43, DOORWAY will also recognize a file by the name of DOOR.SYS. | ||
| - | I have tried to make this file as generic as possible, so others can use the | ||
| - | same format. I am giving the format to Public Domain, so it may be used | ||
| - | without fear. The following shows the file format. A program reading the | ||
| - | format must be able to accept a file with additional lines, for future | ||
| - | expansion. Each line is ASCII and followed by a carriage return/line feed. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | USER NAME * This line contains the user's first and last name | ||
| - | PORT NUMBER * This line contains either a 1, 2 or 0 for local | ||
| - | BAUD RATE This line contains the baud rate the port needs to be | ||
| - | opened at. | ||
| - | TIME * This line contains an integer less than 32767 in mins. | ||
| - | GRAPHICS * This line contains a "G" for graphics, "M" for mono. | ||
| - | ALARM * This line contains an "A" for ALARM, "S" for silent. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | * DOORWAY will actually use this entry. DOORWAY will only use the first name | ||
| - | of the caller and will parse it from the full name. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ***************************************************************************** | ||
| - | |||
| - | FORMAT #2: | ||
| - | |||
| - | Added support for the "GENERIC" DOOR.SYS file which follows. Note | ||
| - | that it still supports the "special" DOORWAY DOOR.SYS file as well. Simply | ||
| - | put "SYS" where you would put "COM1" and it will read the DOOR.SYS file. It | ||
| - | will figure out which it is by looking at it. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The "GENERIC" DOORS.SYS file format follows. DOORWAY only uses lines 1, 9 | ||
| - | 10, 19 and 20. | ||

| - | ============================================================================= | ||
| - | |||
| - | Sample DOOR.SYS file to be used as a STANDARD for ALL Bulletin Board Systems. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ============================================================================= | ||
| - | |||
| - | This file format has been laid out and will be presented to ALL BBS authors | ||
| - | in an attempt to establish a national standard for door program applications. | ||
| - | |||
| - | BBS AUTHORS: I urge you to consider this STANDARD with respect for your 3rd | ||
| - | party support authors. Come on guys, make life EASY for us. | ||
| - | (BIG GRIN) | ||
| - | |||
| - | ============================================================================= | ||
| - | |||
| - | I have tried to include EVERYTHING a 3rd party DOOR author would need to | ||
| - | provide the SYSOPS with the look and feel they want from an online program | ||
| - | while at the same time keeping things plain and simple to ease the problems | ||
| - | of interfacing programs with a system. This type of format is intended to be | ||
| - | a "read-only" type of file (although it could be written again) because most | ||
| - | BBS's have some sort of other file they use for re-entering the system with | ||
| - | (PCBoard uses PCBOARD.SYS, GAP uses GAPDOS.DAT, Ect.) which is harder to read | ||
| - | in, and changes frequently. This file format, once established, wouldn't need | ||
| - | to be changed EVERYTIME a new version of the BBS software gets released and | ||
| - | this would also ease the demand for more info being made available in the BBS | ||
| - | Re-Entry file thus making life easier for both parties. If there is something | ||
| - | found in the following format that your BBS software may not be currently | ||
| - | supporting, a DEFAULT value has been suggested. | ||
