Tech notes: Creating Door32.Sys for BBBS by Janis Kracht, 1:261/38,
janis@filegate.net

This is a preliminary setup for writing a door32.sys dropfile in BBBS's
Opendoor.bz file.

Needs work, but I think I'm getting there:

===cut here===
int make_door32sys(char fn) {
int f, foo;
char name;
char emul;
int security;
name="Mystic 1.07";
if (bv_unum==0) security=255;
  else security=1;
if (!bv_com) foo=0;
  else foo=bv_baud;
int termtype=bu_termcap & 0x0f;
if (termtype==0) emul = "ascii";
if (termtype==1) emul = "ansi";
if (termtype==2) emul = "avatar";
if (termtype==3) emul = "max graphics";

if ((f=fopen(fn,"wt"))!=-1) {
fprintf(f,"%s\n%u\n%u\n%s\n%u\n%s\n%s\n%u\n%u\n%u\n%u\n",foo,
 bv_com,bv_baud,name,bv_unum,bn_realname,bn_nick,security,
 bf_timleft,termtype,bv_nodenumber); //wraps
  fclose(f);
  }
}
===cut here===


Right now, this is what the dropfile looks like:

door32.sys - cut here
==========
0
0
38400
Mystic 1.07
0
Janis Kracht
janisk
255
31800
1
2
========

I think a test in the beginning will be necessary to determine if the caller is
on the bbs via phone modem, telnet or as a local user.

The specs for Door32.sys state the following, thanks for Torbjorn Mohn for the
following from the BBBS echo.

Subject: Door32.sys drop file, prev. message
============================================

Ref my previous message, seems i snipped out a bit of the spec for the
door32.sys file.  Therefore, her's the complete spec:

---------------------------------
 .--------------------------.
 | The DOOR32.SYS Drop file |
 `--------------------------'

 Below is the final Revision 1 version of DOOR32.SYS.  It is a
 straight DOS-style text file in all lower cased letters under
 operating systems with case sensitive file systems:

 [cut here]------------------

 0                  Line 1 : Comm type (0=local, 1=serial, 2=telnet)
 0                  Line 2 : Comm or socket handle
 38400              Line 3 : Baud rate
 Mystic 1.07        Line 4 : BBSID (software name and version)
 1                  Line 5 : User record position (1-based)
 James Coyle        Line 6 : User's real name
 g00r00             Line 7 : User's handle/alias
 255                Line 8 : User's security level
 58                 Line 9 : User's time left (in minutes)
 1                  Line 10: Emulation *See Below
 1                  Line 11: Current node number

 [cut here]----------------

 * The following are values we've predefined for the emulation:

 0 = Ascii
 1 = Ansi
 2 = Avatar
 3 = RIP
 4 = Max Graphics


 Avatar, RIP, and Max Graphics all have ANSI fallback support,
 so most door libraries that don't support those emulations can
 just use ANSI if emulation 2, 3, or 4 is encountered.
