=============================================================================

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-write" type of file. 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.
----------
KG, Note:

   When reading this file, you should not go into an EOF loop. In
other words, you should not read until you encounter End Of File.
Instead, you should read what you KNOW is there. This allows for
additions to the end of the file without forcing all programs to be
re-compiled.
