You may make this file available for downloading from your BBS or you may

======================= REQUIREMENTS AND FEATURES: =========================
CHAIN REACTION 32 Bit Wildcat5! version is designed to operate with
Wildcat5! BBS software only!!! My original version which is compatible
with most BBS software can be found on the FBN BBS or via FidoNet file
request as CHREACT at 1:2631/42.
=========================== GAME DESCRIPTION: ==============================
Chain Reaction is based on the popular television game show of the same name.
Players must try to guess words based on their relationship with the previous
or following word. Players may request to be given letters of the words to
help them solve the word. Each letter given by the computer, and each wrong
guess reduces the players score. Therefore, the object is to guess all the
words in the chain with as little help as possible, and with as few incorrect
guesses as possible. The number of games per day is set by the system operator.
Callers have the option to make up missed turns from previous days.
The game is reset each month automatically. No need to run any maintance
routines.
The players may submit their own chains to the game. This helps to build an
increasing database of words. All chains submitted must be approved by the
system operator. When the system operator logs out of the game, he/she will
be notified if there are any new submissions. So, even if you don't play the
game, it is a good idea to log into the game periodically to update the
game database. WARNING!! Do not attempt to manually add words to the data
file using an editor. You risk making the data file unreadable.
The WildCat Version is now InterBBS Capable. It will work in a league with
both wildcat and standard versions of Chain Reaction.
============================ UPGRADE INFO: =================================
It is not possible to upgrade my original DOS BBS version to this 32 Bit
version. You must set this up as a new installation.
============================== INSTALLATION: ===============================
Installing Chain Reaction for WC5! is fairly simple.
First: Create a directory for this game to reside. Place the following
files in that directory:
INSTRUCT.BBS
CHREACT.CFG (Please Edit!!!)
CHREACT.DAT
Next:
Place the file CHREACT.WCX into your Main WC5 directory.
Next:
Edit the CHREACT.CFG file. A description of each line is included in
that file.
Next:
From wcConfig, Menus, add Chain Reaction to which ever menu you
wish to access the game from. The settings are as follows:
Command Type: Run wcCODE Program
Program: chreact
Parameters: <full path to the games directory> ex. c:\doors\chreact\
NOTE!! Be sure to include the trailing backslash in the path.
========================== BENEFITS OF REGISTERING ==========================
The shareware version of Chain Reaction does not allow your users to use the
make-up missed plays and play ahead features. Other than that, the game is
fully functional. Also, there is no exit screen displayed in the registered
version. Plus the warm feeling you get when supporting the shareware concept.
============================ VERSION HISTORY: ===============================
See the HISTORY.TXT file for information on the history of the game
and the new options in the new versions!
============================= KNOWN PROBLEMS: ==============================
None Known. But please share any you may come across.
