    You don't have to have the same exact setup as we do, but I put this
in here so you could see and understand what our Com & IRQ's are so they
go with the example .bat files

LEGEND OF THE RED DRAGON  ver. 3.20a

    This door is setup pretty simple...I don't know why some folks are having
problems getting it up..

This is what we have set in SCFG for LORD:

    If you want to have lord run with multi-users you must setup a batch
file for each node..Place the .bat files in the LORD directory..Name the
batch files Lord1.bat, lord2.bat and so on..Here are our .bat files..

Ŀ                  Ŀ
Lord1.bat                  Lord2.bat
Ŀ   Ŀ
LORD /pc:\sbbs\node1 /n1   LORD /pc:\sbbs\node2 /n2

Lord3.bat                  Lord4.bat 
Ŀ   Ŀ
LORD /pc:\sbbs\node3 /n3   LORD /pc:\sbbs\node4 /n4
   


Pretty simple 1 line .bat file, but it works well here.....Now on to the
LORDCFG setup...The following screen needs to be set the same for all
nodes, with the exception of #4 & #7, I have not seen any noticable
difference by trying to use and not use options A & B, It seems that if they
are set to yes or no it doesn't seem to change the game performance any.



                             EDITTING NODE SETUP
(1) Node Number      : 1
(2) BBS Name         : Midnight Passion BBS
(3) BBS Software     : doorsys
(4) Path To Drop File: C:\sbbs\node1
(5) Fossil/Internal  : Using Regular Fossil Driver
(6) Locked Port Speed: 38400
(7) Comport          : PORT4 02e8 3 <---------Be sure you have the correct com,

running smoothly with the help of Night Twister..

Here's what we have in SCFG:

With the help of X00's XU command, it can be run on all nodes with
non-standard IRQ's..The following are our .bat files..They are located
in the Usurper directory..Also remember that with X00, com1 = port 0,
com2 = port 1, com3 = port 2, com4 = port 3.......

    There are no .bat files needed for Zchat, although you will need to
put the following line in your autoexec.bat..This line is required if
you want the built in modem connect to work and it also speeds up the
chat it's self...

     c:\sbbs\xtrn\zchat\zcdv 5
                         ^   ^This is the total number of nodes you have,
                              including your local node
                         
                         This is the driver for use with desqview

    Simple....Real simple....


    Below is a example of node1.cfg which zchat will create once you enter
in the correct information...As long as you have the correct address and
IRQ set, you shouldn't have any problems.....

        ZChat creates it's own USER.DAT file when users enter the door,
it DOES NOT use Synchronet's USER.DAT...


    That's it for ZChat...You can FREQ the latest Demo version from our
board at 1:275/46 using the magik name CHATDEMO or ZCHAT...If you still can't
get this door running properly call us voice at 804-583-5386....
