Yahtzee - The Door Game
Copyright 1994 B&D Software
This game DIRECTLY supports the following BBS programs:
============================================================================
RBBS v17.x/QuickBBS/SuperBBS/RA ;caller file = DORINFOx.DEF (x=1-9)
WILDCAT v2.xx ;caller file = CALLINFO.BBS
GAP ;caller file = DOOR.SYS (a standard)

============================================================================
Registration information is available in the file REGISTER.FRM
Place ALL FILES that accompany this ZIP in the same DOS or DOOR# directory.
Everything that you need to operate this software game IS included in this
ZIP archive. Do not erase any files unless you are certain you know exactly
what they are!
YAHTZEE.EXE also requires that you edit the ASCII file, YAHTZEE.CFG with an
ASCII editor. This file includes information about your BBS which will be
presented to the door users.
You must know the proper name for your particular BBS's caller file, as it
is needed in the batch file which runs the door.
If your BBS door type is not supported and you have to use a conversion
program to create/convert your particular BBS's caller information file, I
can add one if given the correct data. Please, refer to your BBS's
documentation and notice the caller information file that your software
creates when going to a SHELL or EXTERNAL process. I need to have the
following data to be able to be read in from a standard ASCII file produced
by the BBS software you have.
(1) Callers First and Last Name
(2) PORT used (ie COM1: or COM2:)
(3) baud rate of caller (DCE)
(4) remaining time left in minutes
(5) flag for ANSI color or MONOchrome graphics
Nearly ALL BBS's pkgs produce a caller info file when exiting to a door.
Completely document your particular file and I will add support for your BBS
type in future releases of this door and other doors by B&D Software.
Thank you for trying Yahtzee - the Door Game! I hope you enjoy it!
