ŒÁàì$Áà ÃPCB©DepositÄ Ä for PCBoard v14.5aƒ

à ÃÃÃNOTEÄÄÄ Ä: If you are using à ÃDPSM.EXEÄ Ä and come to a USER that is BLANK or
messed up, you need to PACK your USERS.INF file as it is corrupted.
This is a bug in PCBoard 14.5. Update to PCBoard 14.5a to fix the
problem.

à ÃÃÃGENERAL INFORMATIONÄÄ
Ä Ä
à ÃPCB-DepositÄ Ä was written because I had seen a LACK of other Deposit
Doors. Ã ÃPCB-DepositÄ Ä also uses a TPA (Third Party Application) which is
installed within the USERS.INF of your BBS. You will find that the door
works very well under a Network or Multi-Node BBS.

The Door basically allows your USERS to Deposit their UNUSED BYTES or
TIME for each day. When a time comes that they need to have these
two fields for downloading files or to stay on-line longer, they can
open à ÃPCB-DepositÄ Ä, grab what they want and use it.

à ÃÃÃGENERAL INFORMATION (About TPA)ÄÄÄ Ä

à ÃPCB-DepositÄ Ä uses PCBoard 14.5 TPA technology for BBS's. Basically,
a TPA is a Third Party Application which is stored via the USERS.INF
file. Ã ÃPCB-DepositÄ Ä uses a STATIC number of 55. This will increase
your USERS.INF file by 55 bytes for each user on your system.

à ÃWhy use a TPAÄ Äà Ã?Ä Ä Whenever you DELETE a user from your System, he will
also be deleted from à ÃPCB-DepositÄ Ä. No need to pack two different USERS
files. It also makes it nice for the Door Developer to handle
information that would not be there in normal situations.
à ÃÃà INSTALLATIONÄÄÄ Ä

Since you are now reading this documentation, I imagine that you are
already in a directory from which you will be running à ÃPCB-DepositÄ Ä.

1) You will first need to go to your PCB directory and run à ÃÃÃPCBSM.EXEÄ ÄÄÄ.
2) Select à ÃD (User Info File Maintenance)Ä Ä
3) Select à ÃC (Add/Update Third Party Application)Ä Ä
4) You will now come up with a Menu that looks like this:

Name of Third Party Application?
Version :
Static Size : 0
Dynamic Size : 0
Keyword :

5) The Name of the TPA will be? ÃÃÄÄÃ ÃPCB-DEPOSITÄ Ä
6) Version : Ã Ã1Ä Ä
7) Static Size : Ã Ã55Ä Ä
8) Dynamic Size : Ã Ã0Ä Ä
9) Ã ÃKeywordÄ Ä : Ã ÃDEPOSITÄ Ä
10) Press: ÃÃÃ ÃPg/DnÄ ÄÄÄ to install TPA.

Optional (#11)

11) I suggest that you now ÃÃPACKÄÄ your users file to make sure that the
USERS.INF file is not corrupted. Some TPA's will corrupt it and I
HIGHLY suggest that you do it now to make sure all is well with
your USERS.INF file. (See PCBoard Documentation on how to PACK
your USERS file).

12) Now that your TPA is installed, you will now need to load up
PCBSetup and edit your DOORS.DAT/LST file for the appropriate Conference.
Be sure you tell PCBoard to CREATE a USERS.SYS when opening the door.
The File Name of the DOOR will be "Ã ÃDEPOSITÄ Ä" since we told PCBSM the
à ÃKEYWORDÄ Ä for accessing the door was à ÃDEPOSITÄ Ä.

Now that we have your TPA installed for à ÃPCB-DepositÄ Ä and have edited
your DOORS.DAT/LST file, you will need to go to your à ÃPCB-DepositÄ Ä Directory
and run ÃÃDPSM.EXEÄÄ.

1) Select à ÃF (Files/Path)Ä Ä
2) Give it your PATH to your PCB directory.
3) Hit à ÃESCÄ Ä
4) Select à ÃS (Security Information)Ä Ä






Œ ÃÃSecurityÄÄ

This will be the security level of the user who is allowed to
use the door. There are a total of 17 pages (255 Security Levels).
The order in which security levels are placed DO NOT matter. If you
have duplicate security levels, the first one in the list will be
used. Use PgDn or PgUp to toggle between pages. A total of 15
security levels are displayed on each screen.

ÃÃMax Minutes Per Day
ÄÄ
This is the Maximum Minutes Per day the User is allowed to withdraw
from his/her account.

ÃÃMax Minutes To StoreÄÄ

This is the Maximum Minutes that the user is allowed to store
in his/her account. Ã ÃNote:Ä Ä If the Max Minutes to store is 0, none
of the TEXT that pertains to TIME will be displayed to the user.
Some people have asked that there be certain levels that will not be
ÁÁ able to store TIME. By setting it to 0 and not displaying any
information to the USER, he/she will not be confused and will not try
ÁÁ to access the commands.

ÃÃMax Bytes Per DayÄÄ

This is the Maximum Bytes the user is allowed to withdraw from
his/her account. Ã ÃNote:Ä Ä This is in BYTES, and NOT 1-K bytes.
1,024,000 is equal to ONE MEG. Use this appropriately!

ÃÃMax Bytes To StoreÄÄ

This is the Maximum Bytes the user is allowed to store in
his/her account. Ã ÃNote:Ä Ä This, too, is in BYTES, not 1-K bytes.
Ô ‰? Ô If this value is set to 0, none of the TEXT will be displayed to Á(#(#ZÁ
Ô ‰?X Ô ÁÁ the user concerning BYTES. See "Max Minutes to Store" for a more Á(#(#ZÁ
thorough explanation.


You will now need to setup ÃÃeachÄÄ Security Level that you wish to
have there. Adjust any extra security levels to "0" if you do not want to
set them up at this time.









Œ 5) Hit à ÃESCÄ Ä to bring you back to the main menu.

6) Select à ÃU (Users)Ä Ä

When adjusting USERS information (i.e., giving them more TIME or BYTES),
be sure you hit the PgDn or PgUp key to SAVE their information. This
is the ONLY way that information is saved.

Now you will see a screen that looks something like this:

ÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀÀ

When you want to start Editing Users, this is where you will do it. Most
of the fields are pretty much self©explanatory. However, the "No Access to
Door" is for locking users out from using the ÃÃdoorÄÄ. If you have a particular
user who you do not want using à ÃPCB-DepositÄ Ä, set field to "YES".


ÃÃÃ ÃPCB-DEPOSITÄ Ä Ã ÃRUN TIMEÄ ÄÄÄ

Command Line Switches
PCBDEP.EXE [Path To PCB directory] [BIOS WRITES]

The first command line switch you will need is the DRIVE/PATH to your PCB
ÁÁdirectory where the door was executed.

The second one is whether or not your want BIOS WRITES to avoid screen
bleed if using MultiTasking Software (such as DesqView, DoubleDos,
OmniView, TaskView, etc.). Answer either "YES" or "NO".
ÔØ'0* ( (°°ԌÁÁÁ€°° Á Á€°° ÁÃÃSample Batch File SetupÄÄ

Create a batch file called "DEPOSIT" for each node and put in the
appropriate PCB directory for each node.

Your batch file should look something like this for each node:

ECHO OFF
CD \DOORS\DEPOSIT
PCBDEP.EXE E:\PCB NO
ECHO ^---------Note that this should be different for each Node
CD \PCB
BOARD.BAT

ÃÃ
MULTI©NODE OPERATIONÄÄ

à ÃPCB-DepositÄ Ä is fully Multi-Nodeable. SHARE is detected if running in
a NETWORK or Multi-Tasking type environment. All you need to do is
make sure you give the appropriate PATH for each PCB directory when
running the door.


ÃÃTEXT FILESÄÄ

Files that can be MODIFIED by the Sysop:

DEPTEXT - This file is used for displaying miscellaneous information
to the user when he/she selects "D" from the main menu in the
door. Feel free to modify this and change the COLOR CODES.
à ÃNote:Ä Ä NO line can exceed 40 characters in length.

LOCKOUT - This file contains information telling the USER why he
can NOT have access to the door. This is displayed when
the users LOCKOUT field is set to "Yes" in DPSM.

EVENT - This file contains information telling the USER why he
can NOT withdraw TIME. This is displayed to the user when
an event is upcoming or his/her time is already MAXED out
because of an event.

LVLMIS - This information file explains why the USER cannot access
the door. This happens when his/her SECURITY LEVEL is not
found in the DPSM Security Levels area.

WELCOME - This file contains information when the user first logs into
the door. It's displayed only once. This is the ASCII
version.

WELCOMEG - Same as above, but with GRAPHICS.

ÔØ'0* ( (°°Ԍà ÙÃÃCLOSING INFORMATIONÄ ÄÄÄ

The UNREGISTERED version of à ÃPCB-DepositÄ Ä will work on ÃÃallÄÄ ComPorts.
The door will read in your PCBOARD.DAT for each node and get the
proper information if you are using non-standard comports.

If you find this door of use, please see the REGISTER.FRM file on how
to register. If you have any suggestions or improvements that you
would like to see in the door, please let me know.

If you are having any problems or would just like to pop in and say
hi, you can reach me via my BBS at:

BBS (801)489-3558 [HST 1440]
BBS (801)489©7558 [2400 Baud]
VOICE (801)489-8935 [9 am©5 pm (MST)]

I can also be reached via U'NI-net Network in the Sysops Conference
or the ILink Sysops Conference.


ÃÃMultiLingual SupportÄÄ

à ÃPCB-DepositÄ Ä is fully capable of multilingual support. All you need to
do is translate the ENGLISH DEPTEXT to your multilingual. If you ÃÃdoÄÄ
translate one of these files, you may think about uploading it to my support
BBS so others can grab it. Just add the language extension to the ÃÃDEPTEXTÄÄ
file name (i.e., ÃÃDEPTEXT.FREÄÄ for French).

ÃÃPCBoard Macros and à ÃPCB-DepositÄ Ä MacrosÄÄ:

For the most part all PCBoard Macros are supported.
à ÃPCB-DepositÄ Ä has its own macros as well. These are:

@BYTESUSED@ - Total amount of Bytes used so far
@BYTESAVAIL@ - Total amount of Bytes Available for today
@BYTESWD@ - Total amount of Bytes WithDrawn today
@BYTESDEP@ - Total amount of Bytes Deposited today
@MAXBYTES@ - Maximum Bytes allowed to withdraw
@MAXTIME@ - Maximum Bytes allowed to store
@MINAVAIL@ - Minutes Available to withdraw
@MINDEP@ - Minutes Deposited today
@TBYTESDEP@ - Total Bytes Deposited in Door
@TBYTESWD@ - Total Bytes Withdrawn


à ÃÃÃREMINDERÄÄ:Ä Ä If you are using DPSM.EXE and come to a USER that is BLANK or
messed up, you need to PACK your USERS.INF file as it, too, is corrupted.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
