Hello Everyone,
I got really bored with the quotes that were on my BBS out-of-the box and
decided to look into several of the add-a-quote doors that were out.
I didn't like any of 'em!
Plus, I wanted my users to be able to have a say in what hits you in the eye
when you log on! They use it. Might as well be able to add something to it!
Anyway, to make a long story short, I wrote my own. You can have this thing
free of charge (no kidding!). SysOp's pay enough money out as it is just to
get their boards up and running, so here is a *freebie* that you can use at
no cost. This is just a small way of thanking all of you for allowing me on
your boards!
Only one thing that I request: let me know if you are using this thing! I like
to keep a mailing list of all of the BBS's out there (I like to call them when
my wife isn't pounding me over the head about the phone bill!) so please fill
out the registration form and mail it to me. It'll cost you a stamp and a
few seconds time, but that is all! Another thing I do with the info you
provide me from the registration form: I enter you into my BBS database that
is a bulletin displayable to my users! It might get you a few users from my
area!
If you have any ideas for improving this thing, drop me a line or call up
my board. I'll update it if you have a need!
You may use the 2 Cents Worth door for 30 days as an evaluation period. At the
end of that time, you must either fill out and return the registration form
or stop using it.
Thanks, SysOp's for the great boards!

SysOp Operation
-----------------
Please include the following information with any DOOR you write
which uses DOORPCH v3.8. The SysOp will require the information.
Preface
---------
This is NOT meant to tell you how to setup DOORs on your BBS,
just how to setup DORPCH38 doors.
Support Shareware
-------------------
Thank you for obtaining this door program. Many hours of coding
have gone into its development. Like all shareware products,
you're encouraged to register this program if it meets your needs.
Supporting Shareware helps insure the future development of such
programs and will entitle you to support from their authors.
Environment Variables
-----------------------
Two environment variables must be set in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
SET LIB= Note: ONLY the PATH!
Example: SET LIB=C:\MYLIB
The DORPCH38.EXE run-time library and DOORPCH.CFG files must then
be placed in this directory. I'd suggest a separate directory as
I do on my system and include it in your PATH statement.
SET DOORPCH=PCB This variable is required by prior versions
of DOORPCH, but not by DORPCH38.EXE.
For your convenience DOORPCH v3.8 also supports the following three
new variables:
%NODE% , %DRIVE% , and %DIRECTORY%
SET NODE=1 (ie. 1 , 2 , etc.)
SET DRIVE=C: (ie. C: , D: , etc.)
SET DIRECTORY=\BBS\ (ie. \PCB\ , \BBS\ , etc.)
These may be used to allow a single DOORNAME.CFG file for all nodes.
When using these variables please remember the combination of them
MUST form a valid DOS "drive:\path\" pointing to the location of the
BBS interface file.
DOORPCH.KEY
-------------
DoorPch is released as a completely UNcrippled program. Upon
registering DoorPch you'll receive a DOORPCH.KEY file. This
file should be put in the "SET LIB=" directory along with the
DORPCH38.EXE and DOORPCH.CFG files. Upon exiting, all DOORs
using DoorPch v3.8 will then say "This copy of DoorPch v3.8 is
registered to: " and your BBS name, your name and your serial
number.
DOOR Setup
------------
Make a batch file to run the DOOR as described in your BBS
documentation.
Example DOOR batch file:
--------------------------
ECHO OFF
CD\DOORS\4CARD
4CARD 4CARD.CFG <== Runs 4CARD.EXE passing
a parameter of 4CARD.CFG to it.
CD\BBS
BOARD
Example DOORNAME.CFG file:
----------------------------
You may use the environmental variables to only require one
DOORNAME.CFG file for multiple nodes.
C:\BBS\DOOR.SYS <== The drive:\path\filename
of your BBS interface file
which is the same as
%DRIVE%%DIRECTORY%DOOR.SYS
using the above variables.
The Pegasus BBS <== The name of your BBS.
Raymond <== The SysOp's FIRST name.
Clements <== The SysOp's LAST name.
John Doe & Jane Doe <== The name(s) of the DOOR's sponsors.
Command-line parameters
-------------------------
This parameter may be used when starting a DOORPCH v3.8 DOOR.
/LOCAL <== Allows local usage of the DOOR as
the SysOp.
(ie. 4CARD 4CARD.CFG /LOCAL)
DoorPch v3.8 Utility: DP38Util
--------------------------------
These parameters may be used with DP38Util to setup and maintain
each DOOR's high score file and/or challenge ladder file.
/CREATE <== Creates the high score file and/or
the challenge ladder file.
(ie. DP38UTIL 4CARD.SCR /CREATE)
/PURGE:## <== Purge names from database if they
haven't used the DOOR in ## days.
(ie. DP38UTIL 4CARD.SCR /PURGE:21)
Libraries
-----------
All DOORPCH v3.8 DOORs require the DORPCH38.EXE run-time library
and the Microsoft (R) QuickBASIC 3.0 run-time library, BRUN30.EXE,
be in your path. Your DOOR program may have come with these files
in the archive file. If they are not present, this DOOR program
WILL NOT RUN. You should contact the DOOR author if the files
are missing. You require one and only one version of these two
libraries for ALL DOORPCH v3.8 DOORware. The files are also
available in DORPCH38.ZIP available on most of the better Bulletin
Board Systems. If you wish a fully detailed explanation of how
DOORPCH operates with DOORS, then you may read the documentation
within the DORPCH38.ZIP file within which this documentation may
be found.
DOOR Operation
----------------
When this DOOR is in operation you have complete control over the
caller. This DOOR was written using DOORPCH v3.8. The logic is
safe and every precaution has been taken to insure this code works
flawlessly. If it doesn't, please let us know. Many
function/operational keys are at your disposal:
F1 - Displays the version of DOORPCH compiled and linked
into the DOOR.
F2 - Displays a caller's Alias if one is used via the DOOR.
F3 - Toggles Local Music ON/OFF.
F4 - Toggles the Bell ON/OFF.
Value is returned to BBS when DOOR completes.
F5 - DOS Shell. Allows the SysOp to exit to DOS from inside
a DOOR.
F6 - Toggles the Graphics mode of the caller ON/OFF.
Value is returned to BBS when DOOR completes.
F7 - Toggle the caller alarm ON/OFF.
Value is returned to BBS when DOOR completes.
F8 - Involuntarily returns the caller to the BBS.
F9 - Toggles the display ON/OFF.
Value is returned to BBS when DOOR completes. Some doors
may force the display ON, but the original OFF value will
be returned to the BBS if this occurs.
F10 - Activates SysOp/Caller CHAT mode within the DOOR.
ESC - Deactivates CHAT mode. DOOR is resumed.
ALT-H - HELP key for lines 24/25 capabilities.
UP - Allows the SysOp to add additional time for the caller.
Value is returned to BBS when DOOR completes.
DN - Allows the SysOp to subtract time from the caller.
Value is returned to BBS when DOOR completes.
ALT-N - Some BBSs use SysOp next on control/indicator.
Value is returned to BBS when DOOR completes.
ALT-X - Some BBSs will exit after current caller completes their
session. Value is returned to BBS when DOOR completes.
Example: DEVICE=ANSI.SYS
--------------------------
DOORPCH uses this device driver for displaying all colors and
screen positioning to the local console. ANSI Color Graphics will
always be sent to the local console if you are using a color
monitor. If a caller is in non-graphics mode you will still see
colors if you have a color monitor. The reverse is also true.
If the caller is in graphics mode and the local console is a mono
monitor then colors will NOT be displayed to the local console.
MUSIC
-------
This DOOR program may utilize ANSI/BASIC music. If it does, and you
are running in a NETWORK, DOORPCH does not send ANSI music to the
local console unless you have it configured to. We have found that
under some Multi-Tasking operating systems such as DoubleDOS that
the "partition" locks up until the music completes. If you are on
a single node system (not in a network), then music will be played
to the local screen if the local screen is active (F9 ON) and you
have DOORPCH configured that way or local music is toggled on (F3 ON).
BELL
------
DOORPCH logic will not allow a BELL to be sent to the local
console when the local screen is inactive (F9 OFF) or the caller
alarm is toggled off (F7 OFF). This, of course, assumes the
DOOR author follows the DOORPCH rules.
ERRORS
--------
All errors should recover and cause the DOOR program to exit
gracefully and return to the main system. All errors are logged
in the "DOORPCH.ERR" file found in the "SET LIB=" directory. The
error number and line number are included with the date and time.
Errors will be either caused by the main module (the authors code,
contact him/her) or the DOORPCH sub (contact Raymond Clements).
It should NEVER cause the BBS to hang. If your BBS hangs, you are
requested to contact the appropriate party and report the error and
circumstances that caused it. Because we are using Microsoft's (c)
QuickBASIC 3.0 run-time routines, it is possible that BASIC will
detect a fatal error condition. As mentioned above, we have taken
every precaution, but simply cannot code for every error condition.
If the DOOR author follows all the rules, the DOOR should run without
error.

SysOp Operation
-----------------
Please include the following information with any DOOR you write
which uses DOORPCH v3.8. The SysOp will require the information.
Preface
---------
This is NOT meant to tell you how to setup DOORs on your BBS,
just how to setup DORPCH38 doors.
Support Shareware
-------------------
Thank you for obtaining this door program. Many hours of coding
have gone into its development. Like all shareware products,
you're encouraged to register this program if it meets your needs.
Supporting Shareware helps insure the future development of such
programs and will entitle you to support from their authors.
Environment Variables
-----------------------
Two environment variables must be set in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
SET LIB=
Example: SET LIB=C:\MYLIB
The DORPCH38.EXE run-time library and DOORPCH.CFG files must then
be placed in this directory. I'd suggest a separate directory as
I do on my system and include it in your PATH statement.
SET DOORPCH=PCB This variable is required by prior versions
of DOORPCH, but not by DORPCH38.EXE.
For your convenience DOORPCH v3.8 also supports the following three
new variables:
%NODE% , %DRIVE% , and %DIRECTORY%
SET NODE=1 (ie. 1 , 2 , etc.)
SET DRIVE=C: (ie. C: , D: , etc.)
SET DIRECTORY=\BBS\ (ie. \PCB\ , \BBS\ , etc.)
These may be used to allow a single DOORNAME.CFG file for all nodes.
When using these variables please remember the combination of them
MUST form a valid DOS "drive:\path\" pointing to the location of the
BBS interface file.
DOORPCH.KEY
-------------
DoorPch is released as a completely UNcrippled program. Upon
registering DoorPch you'll receive a DOORPCH.KEY file. This
file should be put in the "SET LIB=" directory along with the
DORPCH38.EXE and DOORPCH.CFG files. Upon exiting, all DOORs
using DoorPch v3.8 will then say "This copy of DoorPch v3.8 is
registered to: " and your BBS name, your name and your serial
number.
DOOR Setup
------------
Make a batch file to run the DOOR as described in your BBS
documentation.
Example DOOR batch file:
--------------------------
ECHO OFF
CD\DOORS\4CARD
4CARD 4CARD.CFG <== Runs 4CARD.EXE passing
a parameter of 4CARD.CFG to it.
CD\BBS
BOARD
Example DOORNAME.CFG file:
----------------------------
You may use the environmental variables to only require one
DOORNAME.CFG file for multiple nodes.
C:\BBS\DOOR.SYS <== The drive:\path\filename
of your BBS interface file
which is the same as
%DRIVE%%DIRECTORY%DOOR.SYS
using the above variables.
The Pegasus BBS <== The name of your BBS.
Raymond <== The SysOp's FIRST name.
Clements <== The SysOp's LAST name.
John Doe & Jane Doe <== The name(s) of the DOOR's sponsors.
Command-line parameters
-------------------------
This parameter may be used when starting a DOORPCH v3.8 DOOR.
/LOCAL <== Allows local usage of the DOOR as
the SysOp.
(ie. 4CARD 4CARD.CFG /LOCAL)
DoorPch v3.8 Utility: DP38Util
--------------------------------
These parameters may be used with DP38Util to setup and maintain
each DOOR's high score file and/or challenge ladder file.
/CREATE <== Creates the high score file and/or
the challenge ladder file.
(ie. DP38UTIL 4CARD.SCR /CREATE)
/PURGE:## <== Purge names from database if they
haven't used the DOOR in ## days.
(ie. DP38UTIL 4CARD.SCR /PURGE:21)
Libraries
-----------
All DOORPCH v3.8 DOORs require the DORPCH38.EXE run-time library
and the Microsoft (R) QuickBASIC 3.0 run-time library, BRUN30.EXE,
be in your path. Your DOOR program may have come with these files
in the archive file. If they are not present, this DOOR program
WILL NOT RUN. You should contact the DOOR author if the files
are missing. You require one and only one version of these two
libraries for ALL DOORPCH v3.8 DOORware. The files are also
available in DORPCH38.ZIP available on most of the better Bulletin
Board Systems. If you wish a fully detailed explanation of how
DOORPCH operates with DOORS, then you may read the documentation
within the DORPCH38.ZIP file within which this documentation may
be found.
DOOR Operation
----------------
When this DOOR is in operation you have complete control over the
caller. This DOOR was written using DOORPCH v3.8. The logic is
safe and every precaution has been taken to insure this code works
flawlessly. If it doesn't, please let us know. Many
function/operational keys are at your disposal:
F1 - Displays the version of DOORPCH compiled and linked
into the DOOR.
F2 - Displays a caller's Alias if one is used via the DOOR.
F3 - Toggles Local Music ON/OFF.
F4 - Toggles the Bell ON/OFF.
Value is returned to BBS when DOOR completes.
F5 - DOS Shell. Allows the SysOp to exit to DOS from inside
a DOOR.
F6 - Toggles the Graphics mode of the caller ON/OFF.
Value is returned to BBS when DOOR completes.
F7 - Toggle the caller alarm ON/OFF.
Value is returned to BBS when DOOR completes.
F8 - Involuntarily returns the caller to the BBS.
F9 - Toggles the display ON/OFF.
Value is returned to BBS when DOOR completes. Some doors
may force the display ON, but the original OFF value will
be returned to the BBS if this occurs.
F10 - Activates SysOp/Caller CHAT mode within the DOOR.
ESC - Deactivates CHAT mode. DOOR is resumed.
ALT-H - HELP key for lines 24/25 capabilities.
UP - Allows the SysOp to add additional time for the caller.
Value is returned to BBS when DOOR completes.
DN - Allows the SysOp to subtract time from the caller.
Value is returned to BBS when DOOR completes.
ALT-N - Some BBSs use SysOp next on control/indicator.
Value is returned to BBS when DOOR completes.
ALT-X - Some BBSs will exit after current caller completes their
session. Value is returned to BBS when DOOR completes.
Example: DEVICE=ANSI.SYS
--------------------------
DOORPCH uses this device driver for displaying all colors and
screen positioning to the local console. ANSI Color Graphics will
always be sent to the local console if you are using a color
monitor. If a caller is in non-graphics mode you will still see
colors if you have a color monitor. The reverse is also true.
If the caller is in graphics mode and the local console is a mono
monitor then colors will NOT be displayed to the local console.
MUSIC
-------
This DOOR program may utilize ANSI/BASIC music. If it does, and you
are running in a NETWORK, DOORPCH does not send ANSI music to the
local console unless you have it configured to. We have found that
under some Multi-Tasking operating systems such as DoubleDOS that
the "partition" locks up until the music completes. If you are on
a single node system (not in a network), then music will be played
to the local screen if the local screen is active (F9 ON) and you
have DOORPCH configured that way or local music is toggled on (F3 ON).
BELL
------
DOORPCH logic will not allow a BELL to be sent to the local
console when the local screen is inactive (F9 OFF) or the caller
alarm is toggled off (F7 OFF). This, of course, assumes the
DOOR author follows the DOORPCH rules.
ERRORS
--------
All errors should recover and cause the DOOR program to exit
gracefully and return to the main system. All errors are logged
in the "DOORPCH.ERR" file found in the "SET LIB=" directory. The
error number and line number are included with the date and time.
Errors will be either caused by the main module (the authors code,
contact him/her) or the DOORPCH sub (contact Raymond Clements).
It should NEVER cause the BBS to hang. If your BBS hangs, you are
requested to contact the appropriate party and report the error and
circumstances that caused it. Because we are using Microsoft's (c)
QuickBASIC 3.0 run-time routines, it is possible that BASIC will
detect a fatal error condition. As mentioned above, we have taken
every precaution, but simply cannot code for every error condition.
If the DOOR author follows all the rules, the DOOR should run without
error.
