▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ COPYRIGHT ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
The Labyrinth Door game is distributed under the SHAREWARE concept. Under
this concept you may use the unregistered evaluation version for a
reasonable time period, which is normally until the demo key expires.
After this time, you must either register your copy or discontinue usage.
Registered keys are nontransferable. In other words, they entitle you,
and only you, to use TLD on a single BBS System. Therefore, it is in
your best interest to protect these keys and make sure they are not
copied or given to others. In the event that a registered copy of the
program is found to be running on another system, both the person running
the program and the person in whose name the program is registered will
be subject to legal action.
Upon registration, you do not become owner of the software. I the author
retain all rights to the software, copies of the software, and other
related materials. All rights not specifically granted in this license are
reserved by the author.
Failure to comply with this license can and will result in suspension and
removal of your registration without refund and may result in legal action.

to obtain a demo key.
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ SUPPORT ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
I would like to ensure those who decide to register this or any of my
programs that shipment of a registered key will be made a quickly as
possible. Also, I would like to express that all my programs are
supported by me to the best of my ability. If you have any problems
with one of my programs I will attempt to remedy them as quickly as possible.
Support for any of my programs (registered and unregistered alike) can be
obtained by calling The Bumpkinland BBS, through NetMail, by calling me
personally by voice, or by regular Mail. Please see the end of this

I have made every attempt to make installation of my programs as painless
as possible. Simply run the setup program to create the config file, then
invoke the program from a bat file as follows:
CD C:\<Path to Door>
TLD <NodeNumber>
CD C:\<Path to BBS>
<Restart your system>
If you're using my DoorMan program, simply put:
TLD @N (In the Run Commands of course)
That's it!

▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ NOTES OF INTEREST ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
This game does not require any monitoring program for dropped carrier, it
automatically detects this and exits back to the BBS.
This door DOES NOT require any runtime modules to run. It is run as is
without any aid from outside utilities.
In the event of an error, the program has built in error handling routines
which should prevent it from locking the system up. It should log the
error and then exit normally.
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ UPDATE INFORMATION ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
The newest version of any of my programs can be obtained by calling The
Bumpkinland BBS and downloading or by File Requesting using the magic name
(TLD for The Labyrinth Door).
