I wrote this door program to allow my users to read the RIME Times
newsletter while online. It is very simple to operate and setup. When
you unZIP the RIME times archive file you will find files inside named
NEWS and NEWSG. These are the inroduction screens and should be placed
in the same directory from which you will run RIME.EXE. You will also
fine the RIME Times in a text file. Place this file in the same
directory if you wish. You will need a config file for your particular
BBS type.
C:\WILDCAT\CALLINFO.BBS ──┐ <- For Wildcat! 2.x

C:\BBS\DORINFOx.DEF │ <- For QBBS/RBB/RA. Replace x with Node #.

The Parole Board BBS <- Your BBS Name
Dennis <- SysOp's First Name

C:\DOOR\RIMENEWS.TXT <- Path to where the RIME News text file
can be found.
All 5 of these lines must be present and accounted for. Be sure to
use a pure ASCii editor like EDLIN or QEDIT to create or modify this
file. Hidden control codes could sent the RIME Reader off to unknown
galaxies in quest of Princess Leah.
The program will create a LOG file of all that enter the door so
that you can chart its use. The format of the LOG file is User Name,
Node #, Date, Time.

REGISTRATION
---------------------------
This program costs the grand total of $0.00 to register. In other
words it's free for your use. That's about as cheap a price as you will
find for a door program.
