This program and its associated data files are property of Sean Dennis.  You
are being granted a license to use the software only.  You are not allowed 
to reverse engineer, hex edit or in any way change the main executable or
any other files included in the archive.  You may, however, change the data
files to your liking if they are intended for that purpose.

You may copy this program freely and include it on your BBS, website, FTP
site or what-have-you as long as there is little ($5 or less) or no fee
charged to obtain the archive.  You may not tamper with the archive's
contents.  THIS INCLUDES PUTTING BBS ADS IN THE ARCHIVE.  That is expressly
forbidden under this license.

YOU MAY NOT USE THIS PROGRAM ON A PAY BBS, PERIOD.  If you charge for access,
then you can't use this program.  BBSing is a hobby and should be free.

This program is guarenteed to do nothing.  If it picks up the phone and calls
China, someone somewhere will be happy to receive the money from your bill.
This program might not even take up disk space (who knows).  All I can
guarentee is that this program worked on my system and my BBS when I put it
up for download.  I am NOT responsible for any damage that this program may
or may not do (but I don't see how)...

If you would like to port this door to another OS or proprietary BBS
scripting language (such as WCCode), please contact me and we'll 
discuss it.

1 - What is Attitude Assessment?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"'Cuz he's got attitude/and it will get him through..."
  -- "Attitude", Information Society

Attitude Assessment is a fun, simple BBS door (although it can be run
without a BBS also) that shows you what other people think of you.  This is
only for entertainment, of course, but I've found it to be rather accurate.

I originally got the idea for this door from a chain letter I received from
a well-meaning friend in my email inbox one morning.  After emailing the
friend to tell him that this was a false chain letter (the chain letter
claimed that Dr. Phil had Oprah take this test on her show), I read it over
and thought it'd make a fun and simple door.  After a couple days' worth of
programming, I created the door.

This door was written in Turbo Pascal 7.0 and will work with any BBS that
supports DOS doors and the DOOR.SYS or DORINFO#.DAT dropfiles.  This door
does not suffer from the RTE200 (buffer overflow error) problem.

A FOSSIL driver is required to run this door on a BBS.

Attitude Assessment (known as 'AA' from now on) has the following features:

Supports ALL comports & IRQs (FOSSIL driver required)
Locked baud rates up to 115200bps
ANSI emulation built-in (ANSI.SYS not needed under any circumstances)
DOOR.SYS and DORINFO#.DEF support
DesqView, OS/2, Windows, and DOS timeslicing

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 - How do I set it up?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's quite simple to do-just follow these instructions:

1) Create a directory to put AA in and unarchive it there.
2) Modify ATTITUDE.CFG to show the following:

   Outpost BBS (your BBS name)
   Sean Dennis (your first and last name)
   DOOR.SYS (this can be DOOR.SYS or DORINFO.DEF for DORINFO#.DEF)
   57600 (Locked baud rate or 0 for no locked baud rate)

2) Type: ATTITUDE /L to try it out!

3) Set it up in your BBS.  I'll show you how I use it in a batch file on
   my multinode BBS:
   
   @echo off
   d:
   cd\doors\aa
   attitude /n%1 /dd:\tg\temp%1
   cd\tg\temp%1

   I pass the node number when I call the batch file from my BBS to an
   enviromental variable.

   Here's the command line options you can use:

   /N# - # being the node number
   /B# - Sets the locked baud rate to #
   /D? - The path to where the dropfile may be found
   /L  - Run the door locally (no dropfile needed)
   
   You can also just run it directly with that command line from within
   your BBS if you wish (but make sure to put the dropfile that you're
   using on the end explicitly).
   
   It's pretty easy to set up in any BBS, I'd imagine.  However, if you
   get stuck, check your BBS manual!
   
4) Enjoy. :)

3 - Sysop-specific information
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) For Linux sysops: there should be no issues running this door under
   DOSEMU as this door doesn't call any external files, etc.

Attitude Adjustment was written using Turbo Pascal 7.0 using the eDoor v0.96
doorkit (http://dink.org) under OS/2 Warp 4.52. The main executable was 
compressed using UXP (http://upx.sourceforge.net/).

          my doors and the BBS constantly.
