Cops & Robbers Time Bank v0.9 beta
Copyright (c) 1996 by Jamie L. Estes
All rights reserved.
1. DESCRIPTION
The Cops & Robbers Time Bank program was written exclusively for
Spitfire v3.5 bbs systems. It can be accessed as a door or an
extended menu command. This program not only allows users to save
time for later use, but also allows users to gamble their time in
a lottery and try to steal time from others. Most aspects of the
program are fully sysop configurable.
2. SETUP
Simply put the program in its own subdirectory. Create or modify
the required batch file used to start the program (ie. SFMAIN.BAT,
SFMESS.BAT, SFFILE.BAT) or setup as a door program. Consult your
Spitfire manual on menu extensions or door setup as needed. Notice
to Multinode BBS's: A drop file 'CRBANKIN.USE' is created and will
enable only one user to access the program at a time. Consider this
when setting up.
At the dos prompt, execute CRBANK.EXE using the CONFIG parameter. Be
sure to alter the security level limits and the drop file path and
filename.
3. CONFIGURATION
A. Securities
Settings for 10 different security levels can be set. Note that any
unspecified security level a user has will use the lower specified
level. Example: Three security levels are specified (10, 20, and 30).
The remaining slots are left blank. A user entering the program
having a security level of 24 would be treated as a security 20 user.
B. Paths, Accounts & Lottery
The item of primary concern here is the path & drop file name. The
lottery defaults are somewhat generous, but it helps users to 'buy'
account defenses (Cyberneic Time Cop Units and Booby Traps).
C. Time Cops & Booby Traps
You can change the cost of account defenses here. 'Sandman' will
randomly appear according to the parameters and give the user lotto
hints, helpful items to commit crimes, and extra time, or will take
time.
D. Robbery Settings
These parameters will determine how effective defenses are against a
user trying to rob.
4. MAINTENANCE
Each time the program runs, it checks to verify the daily maintenance
has been performed and executes it if needed and only takes a few
seconds. But, maintenance can be made to run at regular intervals.
Simply use the command 'CRBANK MAINT' in your SF event call.
5. DISTRIBUTION
This program may be freely distributed provided all the program files
are distributed together and remain in the original form.
6. DISCLAIMER
Jamie L. Estes shall in no way under any conditions or circumstances,
be held responsible for any damages or losses incurred while operating
this software. All responsibility rests with the software user.

8. WHAT IS MISSING
A. It does not recognize on time events.
B. Does not accomodate 'byte' banking.
C. Needs more documentation.
As it stands, it works on my bbs and my users are happy. If there is
enough interest, I will add these and other features in.
