LEGAL NOTE:
Your possession of this program entitles you to evaluate it for
a reasonable period of time prior to registration, and in NO
case shall this evaluation period go beyond two months with-
out resulting in either formal registration or discontinuation
of its use. You are encouraged to distribute the door to others
in its original form only.
The author makes no warranty, expressed or implied, with regard
to any claims of loss or damage arising from the use of
"The Mad King's Dungeon".
Your use of this software constitutes acceptance of the above
terms.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
SETUP:
Make a directory for MKD and place all files in the archive
into the directory. Once this is done run the INSTALL.BAT,
this file will make the needed directories and move files into
them as needed. After this is done run the DUNGEON.EXE program
to create your 20 level dungeon. That's all there is to setup.
THE KING:
IF YOUR REGISTERED:
Once the dungeon is built you will need to enter the door
in local mode and creat a player. Once in the door then
confront the king. Your character will be made king and you
will exit the game. From here you can use the editor to beef
up the king by increasing his level, exp, body, abilitys and
what he is affected by. You can also edit any items you gave
the king prior to confronting the king. You can leave him
1st level and through natural game play he will increase as
players become king.
Have your BBS run MKD from a batch file. There is no maintenance
program for the game, all updating of players is handled
internally as the game run.
__Command_Lines__
Right now MKD can handle comport 1 to 4 internal and 1 to 8
via a fossil driver. At a max speed of 38400. No non-standard IRQ's
or base addresses are supported in this version. Future versions
will support comports 1 to 8 internal , digi boards and non
standard IRQ's and addresses. MKD can run in local mode also.
Note: IRQ remapping vea the FOSSIL driver is supported.

NOTES ON FOSSIL
Seems some versions of BNU (manly 1.7x) have problums talking with
MKD. MKD fossil runtines where designed with X00 ref data so before
you post that the door has a bug try updating to bnu 1.8x or
switching to x00.
REGISTRATION AND SUPPORT
I will support MKD for as long as one single copy is in
operation or I kick the bucket, since I am a young 29 I assume
that I will be supporting it for a good while if it takes off and
people like the game. Registered or unregistered I will promptly
fix all bugs reported, add new and improved commands and ideas
that are sent me and answer any and all questions you might
have concerning MKD. I HATE AUTHORS THAT NEVER ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT YOU HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT THEM! So be assured that any and
all mail will be answered promptly! If you include a phone number
for voice and you are registered you may more then 80% expect me
to call you to solve the error you maybe having. All applications
for registration keys will be processed and sent back out no later
then 2 weeks from receipt! If I fail to get your key to you in 2 weeks
and you call me on it your key is free and money refunded. NOW! I will
keep records as to when they are sent and to where they are sent to
so be sure your info is correct. There while be a one time
registration fee only! The only Time a extra fee will be charged
is on a MAJOR update, by this I mean something profound like adding
vga support and sound blaster.
The cost to register MKD is 20$ American payable in Check,
Money Order or Cash. Understand I will never accept another order for
a key to anyone whose check or money order doesn't clear!!
To register MKD print out or copy register.doc then fill out
and send to address listed at the bottom of said file.
Once you get your key in the mail type MKD -R to enter the
doors registration mode. You will be prompted for the name to
register under, type in what is printed on your key. Next you
will be prompted for your registration number, enter it just as
it appears and hit enter. If you entered them correctly you shall be
registered and the game will stop delaying at the log in screen.
If you get your key vea fido then just place the file into your
MKD dir. and your set.
You can contact me vea the fido DOORWARE and or DOORGAME echoes
or at my support BBS.

FINAL NOTE ON MULTI TASKING
MKD fully supports shared files and does all its reading and
writing in shared mode. Be sure to have SHARE installed.
Future releases of MKD will have some very interactive multi
node play.
Thanks you for trying The Mad King's Dungeon!
Yours,
