CHALLENGER BINGO is as easy to set up as are all B&D Software
door's! You should, however, be familiar with your BBS software
and how it runs external programs or "doors". Also, you should be
familiar with simple DOS commands like how to create a directory
and how to write a simple batch file. A sample batch file is
included in this package which should work with most BBS software
with very little modification.
The following files should have been in this ZIP package when you
received it:
DESC.SDI One line description of file
DOOR.BAT Sample batch file for running door
BUGRPORT.FRM Handy form for reporting bugs in program
BETADIST.BBS A list of all B&D Software Beta/Distribution Sites
FILE_ID.DIZ Complete description using BBS standard
REGISTER.FRM A handy form for registering CHALLENGER BINGO
SYSOP.DOC These documents for installing CHALLENGER BINGO
BININTRO.ANS X Intro Screen for CHALLENGER BINGO
BINGO.EXE X CHALLENGER BINGO Main executable
BINGHELP ANS X CHALLENGER BINGO Instructions
BINGMENU ANS X Main Menu for CHALLENGER BINGO
Those files followed by an "X" should NOT be deleted from the directory.
Any others may be at your own discretion.
Installing CHALLENGER BINGO on your system:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Create a Sub-directory under your DOORS directory (or where ever you
have your external programs). Call this sub-directory BINGO (or any
other name of your choice). Place all the files that were in this ZIP
package in that sub-directory.
Edit BINGO.CFG to reflect the following information:
Line 1 > BBS Name
Line 2 > SYSOP Name
Line 3 > Door Donor's Name (if registered)
Line 4 > Registration number
Using the information for my BBS the BINGO.CFG would look like this:
Grass Roots

OR! You can delete the file BINGO.CFG and run BINGO.EXE locally
and you will be prompted for all pertinent data. When you register the
door just delete the old BINGO.CFG and re-run BINGO.EXE!
Next you will need to edit the DOOR.BAT provided. Here is how it works
quite simply put:
Line 1 > Turn the echo off
Line 2 > Change to the drive on which the door is located
Line 3 > Change to the door directory
Line 4 > Execute BINGO with the drive:\path\filename of the dropfile in
the command line. If the dropfile is copied to the directory
where CHALLENGER BINGO is executed then all you will need
is its name.
Line 5 > Change back to the drive the BBS is on
Line 6 > Change to the BBS directory
Line 7 > Exit the batch file
Here is the one I use on Grass Roots (provided as the sample DOOR.BAT):
ECHO OFF
C:
CD \MAX\DOORS\BINGO
BINGO.EXE C:\MAX\DOOR.SYS
C:
CD \MAX
EXIT
NOTICE: Some BBS software revolts at using the "EXIT" at the end of the
batch file. Create it as your BBS documents direct.
For a DORINFOn.DEF, CALLINFO.BBS, or other drop file simple change the
command line following BINGO.EXE to reflect the drive:\path\filename
of the appropriate drop file.
CHALLENGER BINGO may be ran locally by simple typing BINGO.EXE
without a Command line added.
I hope that you and your callers enjoy CHALLENGER BINGO, and that
you find it worthy of your support. Please read the file REGISTER.FRM
for information on how to register your copy of CHALLENGER BINGO!
