Simply, I do not like that all those STAT doors I'd seen are not display-mode sensitive, and all of them have fixed outlook. So I decided to write my very first DayDream Door in C. MV Stat is fully look-configurable, there are only few thing you must respect, so, read about in @{" configuration " Link Config} about it. @endnode @node "disclaim" " MV Status - Standard Disclaimer" @next "Require" @prev "Introd" This software is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied. In no event will the author be liable for direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages or data loss resulting from the use or application of this software. The entire risk as to the results and performance of this software is assumed by the user. READ DOCUMENTATION CAREFULY (it is highly recomended to use suplied @{"Install" link "Install" } script), becouse door will not function well if some files are missing ! (may be it even cause Mr.Gurru???) @endnode @node "Require" "MV Status - Requirements" @next "install" @prev "disclaim" @{b}Door requirements@{ub} ----------------- You need Amiga OS and DayDream 1.27 or higher (door is using HideCursor & ShowCursor functions of dreamdoor.library, and those functions are implemented in version 1.27 and later). Some Disk_cache utility is recomended, becouse door acces few files very often, and standard Amiga DOS Buffers doesent work too nice. @endnode @node "Install" " MV Status - Instalation " @next "Features" @prev "Require" It is highly recomended to use supplied INSTALL script for instaling MV STATUS Door. To use it, simply unpack archive (you have to extract archive with enabled "Extract files with full path" option!) on any device, enter this diretory from shell and type INSTALL. (make sure that Doors: directory is already assigned, otherwise install script will fail!) If operation is finished succesfuly, install script will write following message : --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mad Virgin STATUS door V1.00B for DayDream BBS - AMIGA ! (26.04.1997) INSTALATION OK ! PLEASE READ THE DOCS !!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- and return you to main prompt. After that, add in your DayDream folowing lines to EXTERNALCOMMANDS.DAT + DOOR_COMMAND.. STAT DOOR_TYPE..... 1 DOOR_SECURITY. 5 DOOR_EXECUTE.. Doors:MV/STAT/MVStat %N DOOR_CONFS1... XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX DOOR_CONFS2...

In fact you may configure 4 diferent outlooks for MV STAT. - ISO - ISO + ANSI - IBM - IBM + ANSI Look at @{"Configuration" Link Config} section for details. @endnode @node Config "MV Status - Configuration" @next "User" @prev "Features" @{bg shine}»»»»»»»» CONFIGURATION ««««««««««@{bg back} The MV Status Door is consist of two parts need to be configured to match your system configuration : @{" STAT.CFG " link stat.cfg } @{" DISPLAY.CFG " link display.cfg} After that you may start configuring (if you want?) files in Doors:MV/STAT/Display directory. As you can see, there are several files with same name and diferent extension. Yes, you are right - MV STAT uses these files for outlook. In fact, there are folowing groups of display files : item-*.* - main status outlook file | | | |___item mode (ASCII/TXT/ISO/IBM) | | item number : 1 to 3 button*-sel.* - gadgets in ANSI mode | | | |____ gadget mode (IBM/ISO) | |___ gadget number : 1 to 4 selection.* - menu prompt in ASCII mode | |____ menu mode (ASCII/TXT) header.* - header file in ANSI mode | |____ header mode (ISO/IBM) footer.* - footer file in ANSI mode | |____ footer mode (ISO/IBM) Change files to match your wishes.
