Stock Market For BBBBS
This game was originally written by Ken Koch
and was re-written to work on BBBBS by Matt English
2-29-92 (Leap year!)
To set this game up, put "Stock_Market.rexx" into your Rexxdoors
Directory. Then put "SM.companystats", "SM.help", and "smvars"
in your Rexxdoors/Data Directory. After someone plays, more files
will be generated in you rexxdoors/data directory.
There are sysop functions available from inside the game. If your
name is in the s:BBS.config file as the SYSOP, the game will show
you the SYSOP MENU when you hit "Z" at the main menu.
DON'T TRY TO RESET THE GAME UNTIL SOMEONE HAS PLAYED IT! The files
involved in a reset, don't exist until someone has played!
The original readme file follows this and it and the help file
contain all the other info you'll need to play this game!
The game will recognize what the players color preferences are set
for in his user file and will respond accordingly.
THANKS to Richard Lee Stocton for making the great BBBBS program,
and for writing the color control routine that I used in this game!

Files included: Stock-Market - the main file
companystats - a starter set of companies
help - the help file
smvars - list of Stock Market variables
readme - this file
Setup : Put StkMkt in your PFILES: directory. Then use makedir to create
a subdirectory in your PFILES: directory called Stock. Put the
help, and companystats, files in the PFILES:Stock/ directory.
All other files are created by the program.
This version of Stock Market is translated from a program written
written by Terry Murphy and Steve Wagy for the Color 64 BBS. I have
tried to duplicate this game in ARexx for the Amiga from a printout of
Stock Market in Commodore's BASIC 2.0 as written for Color 64 BBS. I'm
a registered Color 64 BBS Sysop. But when I upgraded to Amiga I was
apalled at the lack of games written for the BBSs. I waited and waited
and finally came to my own rescue.
The sysop menu is activated by having the person whose name matches
'sysopname' press the letter 'Z' at the main menu.
I'm in the Army and move around a lot, so I'm not going to demand
any contributions for this game. If you do like it and your users like
it, send me the price of a good 6-pack. Wirewolf, that's me, like beer.
I will be doing other conversions soon. If there are errors in the
programs, please let me know. If you have supported my meager request,
I'll bend over backwards to get you the latest version. I always see
little things I want to fine tune, but I'd rather get this game into your
hands as soon as I can. If you like hacking around, I reserve no specific
rights for this game. I'd like it if you left my name in there because of
all the work I put into this project, but I know how some of you are.
Do not pass this off as a project of your own creation, I know how some of
you are.
Version 2.02 is the second version I have released of Stock Market
specifically for C-Net. This version uses all MCI commands. Also, you
may have to modify the program a little bit as I have given you the one
right off my BBS and I rin it out of a subdirectory in Pfiles called
Games.
Version 2.03 is just a new package. I forgot the dang help file in
v2.02! Sorry! There may have been a couple of minor adjustments as
always.
Owwooooo!
