AWORD version 1.1 June 1993
Welcome to the AWORD door. This door is simplified clone of the
game of Wheel of Fortune. This game has an additional twist that
makes it interesting....the ability to choose from up to 5 different
categories. Each category can hold 500 puzzles...so that is 2500
puzzles in the entire game! At the end of each players turn the score
is added to the high score file. If your users like word solve puzzles
then they will certainly like this door.
To have a look at the game just unzip all the files to a
subdirectory and type local. This will run the batch file local.bat and
start up the game locally.
DISCLAIMER: Use this door at your own risk. This door may
be distributed freely. By using this door you are accepting any risks.
This door was written with Quick Basic 4.5 and Door Source ver 4.0.

INSTALLATION:
- Be sure you are running ansi.sys. It is needed because this game
moves the cursor all over the screen.
- Unarchive the files to the subdirectory for the game.
- Edit the cfg file for your needs. I have a two node bbs so I use
both aword1.cfg and aword2.cfg. Look inside them for help in filling
out your configuration file.
- Edit your batch file that will start up the door as soon as your bbs
drops to dos. Here is my batch file that I use when PCBoard drops to
run the door: (It is pretty easy to run this door!!)
E:
cd \DOORS\AWORD
AWORD AWORD1.CFG
C:
CD C:\PCB
BOARD
- Once you have done that all you have to do is to setup your bbs to
run this door.
Command Line Options
--------------------
Door Source has numerous command line options in order to provide
flexibility with most computer systems. Here is a list:
LOCKED:xxxxx - Forces Dooor Source to lock the modem at the
speed given.
LOCAL - Forces Door Source to run in local mode. This
is really meant for testing purposes, but it
still reads the configuration file, but doesn't
read the bbs interface file.
NETWORK - Forces file sharing to be active incase you
are using something other than SHARE to manage
file locking.
IRQ=n - Lets you change the IRQ used for the com port
specified in the bbs interface file.
(See below for more information)
ADDR=&Hnnnn - Lets you change the address used for the com
port specified in the bbs interface file.
(See below for more information)
PS2 - Forces the PS/2 IRQs and addresses if a PS/2
isn't detected (Normally it is, but you can't
always tell!)
RBBS - Forces Door Source into RBBS/QBBS mode
WILDCAT - Forces Door Source into Wildcat 2.0 mode
DOORSYS - Forces Door Source into 31-Line DOOR.SYS mode
PCB121 - Forces Door Source into PCBoard 11.8/12.x mode
with COM 1 active
PCB122 - Forces Door Source into PCBoard 11.8/12.x mode
with COM 2 active
PCB14 - (DEFAULT) Forces Door Source into PCBoard 14.x
mode
When you use the IRQ or the ADDR option, you must include the other.
You can't use just the IRQ and not the ADDR, and you can't use just
the ADDR and not the IRQ. Here's a chart with the STANDARD IRQs
and addresses for the PS/2s and IBM PCs:
Non PS/2
Com port IRQ Address
1 4 &H3F8
2 3 &H2F8
3 4 &H3E8
4 3 &H2E8
5-8 4 &H3F8
PS/2
Com port IRQ Address
1 4 &H3F8
2 3 &H2F8
3 3 &H3220
4 3 &H3228
5 3 &H4220
6 3 &H4228
7 3 &H5220
8 3 &H5228
REGISTRATION: (ONLY $11.00 Canadian or U.S. dollars)
Sysops are not made of money! I hate it when I download a door
and it looks interesting...only to find out that it costs $30-$50 or so.
My next step is to type 'del *.*' and be done with it! I've kept the
registration cost of this door inexpensive for this reason. Just send
in $11.00 with your name TYPED or PRINTED and I'll mail you the
registration code for the door. Until you register the game is slightly
crippled.
- Be sure to let me know how you want the registration name to read:
- Sysop name .... print first and last name if you want sysop name
to appear in the 'Registered to:' line in the game.
OR.......
- BBS name ..... print the name of your bbs if you want your bbs name
to appear in the 'Registered to:' line in the game.
I want this info printed so I can accurately figure out your registration
code...(I'm also not very good at reading other peoples' handwriting!)
