Welcome to APLD

 This is a utility door written for Bulletin Board Systems That
Have A Tape Drive or CDROM installed in the system

 The tapes that this drive uses will hold 40 to 700 meg of compressed
files.

 APLD Will allow the system to store additional files that the caller
can have access to.

      These are the command that operate the door:

        (1).  Is used for this help screen as you well know.

        (2).  will view the files that the SysOp has backed up
              for the caller to restore.

        (3).  This will Prompt You For a file name to restore to
             the Hard Disk For you to download. A Wildcard character
             will of * or ? will not be allowed in the filename, this
             is so the caller does not restore all the files.

              The program does not write to a display
             so you won't be able to see the file in the bbs BUT
             in most cases you can open and View the file after it
             has been restored, as well as download.

              Next it will prompt you for a Volume number, when the files
             are backed up it writes to a new Volume Each time the Sysop
             puts files on a the tape. the Tape Drive Software defaults
             to the First Volume # of 1 and is not needed, but all other
             Volumes will need its number.

        (4). Pressing this will return you to the bbs.


        There will be a 3 min pause before the program starts to
      restore your file to the disk for download, this bug is not
      in the registered door!!, then allow another 2 to 4 min to let
      the drive restore the file.
