They are not related to ChAoS Online or to Chat With Lisa. But they
do use the same DoorFrame software as Lisa. So if you are having
problems with Lisa, the following information might help:
WILDCAT! 4.0
============
* Problems may develop using the DOOR.SYS drop file if you have
a LARGE number of conferences. I would suggest picking up a copy
of a file called FDOORSYS.ZIP written by Tim Rider (Tim can be
reached on The Source BBS at 310-371-3737). Here is what Tim's
documentation states:
RENEGADE BBS
============
* If you are using BNU fossil driver and having problems with the
doors, try using X00 v1.50+. Several Renegade systems have reported
problems using BNU with the doors.
* If you are getting out of memory errors. Go into the System Config
section, [E] System Toggles, then [U] to turn the SWAP FILE 'ON'.
TRIBBS v5.02+
=============
* Color ANSI checking will not work if you use TRIBBS.SYS drop file.
Set the doors up using the PCBOARD.SYS drop file.
* If you use DOOR.SYS, TriBBS reloads this file and will deduct twice
the amount of time that was actually used. Try using another drop
file, or copying the DOOR.SYS to a separate directory and then
telling the door to look there for it.
* NOTE: This only applies to doors where you adjust the user's time
in the door such as Bordello, Studs, and Studette.
Keyboard Timeouts
=================
* If you are operating on a 486 computer and getting a "keyboard
timeout", you will need to set the following environmental variable
in your AUTOEXEC.BAT.
SET NO87=ON
This will turn off your co-processor and allow the door to function
properly.
Overflow Errors
===============
* Overflows can occur if you are running under DESQview and your tick
counts are set too low -- try raising the tick counts.
* Trident SVGA Cards - You should have a utility disk with a file
called TANSI.SYS, use this ansi driver instead of the standard
ANSI.SYS.
DESQview/X
==========
* Make sure you have the MATH COPROCESSOR flagged ON even if you don't
have a math coprocessor.
Wildcat! 3.x
============
* If you are running Studs!, Studette!, or Bordello! (from T&J Software)
you must use the caller drop file DOOR.SYS to make sure the callers
remaining time is passed back to Wildcat!
All of our doors will run on the Wildcat! IM version using DigiFos
v1.3. I have received TWO different setup routines concerning the
IM version, here's an example:
DF LOCK%WCNODEID% -OR- DF ON
CD\DOORS\STUDS CD\DOORS\STUDS
STUDS! STUDS!.CFG /FD STUDS! STUDS!.CFG
CD\WC30 CD\WC30
DF OFF DF OFF
Comments on either setup would be greatly appreciated!
Spitfire BBS's
==============
* If you're having trouble with the doors dropping carrier on exiting
back to the BBS, switch to using DOOR.SYS instead of SFDOORS.DAT.
This happens on some Spitfire configurations when using SFDOORS.DAT.
Using DESQview
==============
* If you're running the doors under DV and you're getting ANSI
character codes on the local monitor, be sure to load the file
DVANSI.COM in the main batch file that starts your BBS!
