          This is a quick and dirty little program to pass a baud
          rate to the DORINFO1.DEF and EXITINFO.BBS files.  It was
          designed for those persons who need to change the files to
          make various doors work with high speed modems.

          Please note:  This version of DORSPEED is designed to work
          with QuickBBS versions starting with v2.62.  It will not
          work with earlier versions!  You'll need a copy of
          DORSPEED v2.00 for those earlier versions.  With v2.62,
          the data structure of the EXITINFO.BBS file was changed,
          hence the need for the release of a new version of this
          program.

          Here's how it works:

          Enter the speed you wish to pass to DORINFO1.DEF and
          EXITINFO.BBS on the command line.  Example:

          C:>dorspeed 19200

          DORSPEED will zap the speed out of the files and replace
          it with whatever speed you passed on the command line.  It
          touches nothing else.  Note: DON'T use commas in the speed
          (i.e. don't use 19,200; use 19200).

          DORSPEED is meant to be run via the batch file that you
          use to start the door.  DORSPEED should reside in the same
          directory as the DORINFO1.DEF and EXITINFO.BBS files (your
          main QuickBBS or other system directory).

          If DORSPEED can't find the DORINFO1.DEF file, it aborts
          with an errorlevel of 1.  The same holds true if you pass
          nothing on the command line.  If DORSPEED can't find the
          EXITINFO.BBS file, it will just skip it and change only
          the DORINFO1.DEF file.













          DORSPEED couldn't care less what you put on the command
          line, so be careful.  If you run the program with
          something strange on the command line, guess what will end
          up in your DORINFO1.DEF file?  :-)

          DORSPEED was written in Turbo Pascal 5.0.

          Hope you find this useful....
