CHAT EUCHRE!!!!!!!!! Copyright (c) 1996 Bulletin Board Systems, Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Programmed and designed by Craig Hilles
OVERVIEW
--------
Chat Euchre will allow up to 4 people to play Euchre together! They can
chat while they are playing. The computer can pick up any of the hands,
so it can be played alone, with friends, or with any combination of
computer-played hands and human-played hands.
This is likely to be a popular game, and since Euchre allows only 4 people
to play, we have programmed it to have 6 TABLES. The user chooses a table
first, and he can see who is sitting at any one table! He can also choose
the chair he would like.
Euchre is a partner-based game, using the cards 9 and above. For a complete
explanation of Euchre, see the online help file EUCHRE.HLP. (You can read
this offline with DOS edit or any editor).
INSTALLATION
------------
Installation is very very simple. Just unzip the archive into a directory,
(say, \TBBS\EUCHRE). Then set up a menu entry as follows:
Entry:
E - Chat Euchre!
Priv=0
KEY=E TYPE=200 Opt Data=c:\tbbs\euchre\seltable /q
Note: you run SELTABLE.TPG and not EUCHRE.TPG. The program SELTABLE is used
for the person to select his table. It then branches out to EUCHRE.TPG to
run the game. This programming techniqe saves memory and improves
performance.
CALL ME!
--------
My name is Craig, I programmed this game, to order the easiest way is just
to CALL ME! I can be reached at 330-677-0452, evenings and weekends (I have
a day job, unfortunately!) I take Visa or Mastercard, check, or money
order. If you get my machine, PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE! Running a 32-line
bulletin board is cause for many calls, many that I don't want to deal with
(he said this, she said that...), so many times I screen my calls!
DEMO VERSION
-------------
The demo version is totally full-featured! What you see is what you get!
The only restrictions in the demo is that is will expire automatically after
25 days, and it is limited to a total of 20 players.
The demo version should give you a clear idea of how the program works and
whether it will be a good investment to improve your board. If you would
like to see the program on our board, call the Akron Information Service
BBS at 330-678-5705. (NOTE: OUR AREA CODE CHANGED TO 330 AS OF MARCH 9TH).
Note2: the 800 number mentioned in some older documentation has been
disconnected.

CUSTOM PROGRAMMING CHANGES
--------------------------
Programs are sold as-is. I will fix any bugs for free (I reserve the right
to determine whether something is a bug, or whether the program is working
as designed). However, I can do modifications to programs at a very cheap
rate! The price depends on my estimate of hours required, and can be
surprisingly low.
CUSTOM PROGRAMMING
------------------
Bulletin Board Systems, Inc. is a company that runs BBS systems and does
online programming, in the Akron, Ohio area. I do custom
programming in TDBS, Clipper, and C. If you want ANY kind of
application designed for your TBBS installation, please contact me (Craig
Hilles) at 1-330-677-0452. I do custom programming at rates far below
the norm. Call me and I'm sure we can negotiate a mutually beneficial deal.
Source code IS available for a higher price.
