Requirements : ============== BRUN45.EXE Runtime Module File (Needed for he program to run) CGA Monitor (sysop end only, Mono is okay on remote providing remote user receives ansi) IBM XT/AT/386 BBS that makes one of the following Drop File's CALLINFO.BBS DOOR.SYS DORINFO#.DEF This program has been tested on the following systems : ------------------------------------------------------- WILDCAT 2.x and 3.x, Gap v4.0 and greater, PcBoard v14.0 or greater, QuickBBS v2.6 thru v2.75, SuperBBS Remote Access. Spitfire BBS This program should also work with other DORINFOx.DEF producing BBS's, such as RBBS and SuperBBS. For other BBS's not mentioned, there are MANY door conversion utilities available. This door will also run under Desqview. Installation Of The Door : ========================== Step One : ---------- First create a directory for the program and place all the files into that directory. i.e. C:\WILDCAT\DOOR\VIDEO (whatever your DOOR directory will be) Step Two : ---------- Use the install program to configure the configuration file to meet your specifications. Contents Of The Configuration File : ------------------------------------ Line one is the path to your dropfile. Line two is the name of your BBS Line three is your name that you use on your BBS. Line four is where you specify what type of BBS software you have. Line five is where you specify if you are running at lock baud or not. If you are running lock baud then enter the baud rate....ie 9600 or 19200 or 38400. Enter 0 for none. Line six is to tell if you wish to have page available or not. 1 = YES 0 = NO Line seven is the total time you wish a user to be on the door at one given time. Line eight is how many times a user may play the game per day. Line nine is the IRQ information for comm port 3 Line ten is the IRQ information for comm port 4 Line eleven is where you let the game know what card type to use. You may make the cards random or use one specific card. Line twelve is where you tell the game if the player can win on any pair or JACKS or BETTER. Line thirteen is where you will specify the ASCII Bulletin path and filename. Line fourteen is where you will specify the ANSI Bulletin path and filename. Here is the completed file : ---------------------------- C:\WILDCAT The Lighthouse BBS Danny Davis WC3 19200 or 0 for none 1 30 5 03E8 3 02E8 4 0, 1, or 2 0 or 1 C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULL1.ANS C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULL1.ASC BBS Batch Files : ================= WILDCAT 2.X (CALLINFO.BBS) : ---------------------------- CD\WILDCAT\DOOR\VIDEO VIDEO VPBULL CD\WILDCAT CAT WILDCAT 3.X (DOOR.SYS) : ------------------------ Same as above QuickBBS & DORINFO#.DEF (a Type 15 for QuickBBS) : --------------------------------------------------- You may specify up to nine different DORINFO#.DEF's by using the install program. D: CD\DOORS\VIDEO VIDEO VPBULL C: CD\QBBS GOTO RESTART To run a type 7 (for QuickBBS), simply put the VIDEO.BAT file in the QuickBBS directory, using "*C /C VIDEO.BAT" in the optional data line in the type 7 menu. (there are other ways to do it, this is the easiest). GAP and PCBOARD : ----------------- C: CD\DOOR\VIDEO VIDEO VPBULL CD\GAP GAP Maintenance : ------------- Also enclosed is a maintenance file that needs to be ran once a day to keep the player.dat file clean. By passing a number value from 8-30 you can specify how many days you will allow a user to stay in the door before being deleted. i.e. "MAINT 17" this allows 17 days before a player is deleted for non-use VPBULL : -------- This file can be ran each time the door is exited or as a nightly event. I recommend after the door exits. It will make a ANSI and a ASCII Bulletin from the information you specify in your installation module. Page Control Files : ----------------------------- Read the PAGE.CTL file and configure it to meet your needs. Local Mode : ------------ To run the game in LOCAL mode just type /LOCAL after the VIDEO.EXE on the command line "VIDEO /LOCAL". Multi - Line BBS : ------------------ Well this is a rather simple task. When you run the install program you can pick upto 4 different configuration files. To run this door as a multi door all you need to do is place the following statement: VIDEO VIDEO1.CNF And so on for the rest of the configuration files. The reason for this is so you may specify the different LOCKBAUD rates for each node. Support BBS : ------------- The Lighthouse BBS 209-252-7968 Fido Net 1:205/75 US ROBOTICS DUAL STANDARD Registration of this door will cost you $15.00 plus shipping and handling. With your registration you will receive a key file that will work with all future versions of Video Poker.
