SYSOP SETUP AND FUNCTIONS
                              -------------------------


          This Door program written with the GAPQBDR Door Interface  Module 
          will run on  GAP Communications  version 4  and  greater  and  on  
          PCB version 14.x, through 14.5a.

          To configure the door for a particular BBS setup, a configuration
          file must  be used.   At the very minimum, this file will contain
          three lines.   It  may contain  more than three, depending upon a
          particular doors  configuration requirements.   The  name of  the
          file is  usually the  same as that of the door program but with a
          CNF extension.   The  minimum requirements  for the  file are  as
          follows:

          Note: with this latest release  of GAPQBDR, you MUST  change your 
          Door  Configuration  files such  that you  remove line 3 (the PCB 
          flag).    This  line  is no longer needed since PCB is capable of 
          writing a DOOR.SYS file.

          Your configuration files will now have 4 required lines:

          Path to BBS Directory         note: C:\PCB   (for pcboard)
          Name of the BBS               note: The Arena BBS
          IRQ                           note: for com1 and com2 set to 0
          Base Address                  note: for com1 and com2 set to 0

          This door will  work with  any  BBS system  that writes a correct 
          DOOR.SYS file. This includes GAP, WildCat, and PCBoard.

          GAPQBDR will obtain  the  sysop's  name  from  the Door.sys file.

          You must  now create a batch file to invoke the door.  This batch
          file is  placed in your BBS default directory.  Such a batch file
          might look like this:

               echo off
               cd \doors\black
               black black.cnf
               cd \pcb
               board

          As you  can see, the door is invoked by passing the configuration
          file name as a parameter.

          You will  also need  to modify your doors menu files and the data
          file that  tells the  BBS what  your doors  are and  the security
          level needed to access them.  For GAP, these are respectively:

               DOOR
               DOORG
               DOORS.LST

          Please refer  to your  BBS documentation  for details on  setting
          these files up.

          If you  are running  multi-nodes, simply  create a  separate door
          configuration file for each node, and number them.  For instance,
          for a  3 node  system, you might have the following configuration
          files:

               TL1.CFG
               TL2.CFG
               TL3.CFG

          The only difference between the three would be the 1st line which
          points to the default directory for the particular node.

          Multi-user operation  is automatic.  
          
          The following  files are  read during  door initialization.  They
          must be present or the door will not operate.

               PCB/GAP           
               ----------------  
               DOOR.SYS 
               Users.sys
                                 


          The following sysop functions are available while awaiting
          keyboard input :

                   F5     -  Shell to DOS.
                   F8     -  Twit user and return to BBS.
                  F10     -  Initiate chat with user.
                  CF10    -  Answer user page bell.
                  Home    -  Main user stats.
                  End     -  Displays sysop keys available.
                  PgDn    -  Secondary user stats.
                Up Arrow  -  Increase user's time remaining.
                Dn Arrow  -  Decrease user's time remaining.




          One of  the nicer  features about using the TWIT key, is the user
          is not  told that  "the sysop  wants them  to return to the BBS".
          Instead, a very plain and simple message of "returning you to the
          BBS" is  displayed.   This way,  the user  is given no indication
          that the sysop is hovering about.

          When using  the F5  shell to  DOS key,  to  return  to  the  door
          program, simply  type EXIT  at the DOS command prompt.  It is not
          necessary to  change directories  back  to  the  door  directory.
          GAPQBDR is  smart enough  to know  which drive  and directory the
          door program  is in and  will reset the defaults upon return from
          DOS.

          The Up  and Down Arrow keys increase and decrease the user's time
          respectively by  5 minutes for each press of the key. There is no
          indication of  what is  occurring (except  by the fact the user's
          time remaining  will change), so the sysop should try not to have
          a lead  finger.  The increase or decrease is effective only while
          the user  is in  the door.   Since we are firm believers that the
          BBS system  files belong  to the BBS and should not be altered by
          any door  program, updating the BBS system file is NOT automatic.

          However the registered version will be  configurable to allow for 
          time awards and reduction calculated by the users winnings.  This 
          option will have an ability to inable as well as disable the time 
          feature. 
          
          If you would like to display an adopt a door message or other welcome
          before the game starts then creat a file called welcome. or  welcomeg.
          in the current directory.
