- ╘════════════╛
-
- Killers bees have finally made it to America, and are destroying
- all in their path! Your town has made a last ditch effort at survival
- by constructing a maze of electrical fences to destroy the bees as they
- attack. Unfortunately, you are the only one that has survived the
- construction, and must now face the attack of the bees by yourself!

- ╘═════════════╛
-
- PLEASE.DAT, and THANKS.DAT are straight ASCII files that can be
- displayed as part of the opening logo screen. PLEASE.DAT would be
- displayed on an unregistered door, and can be used to encourage your
- users to help register the door. THANKS.DAT would be displayed on a
- registered door, and can be used to thank your users for registering the
- door. Each file can one line of up to 78 ASCII characters. If either
- file is not found, a default information line will be displayed.

- │INSTALLATION │
- ╘═════════════╛
-
- To install the door, create the directory you wish to run your
- door in. Unarchive the files into that directory. Run the SETUP_SM
- program. If your BBS package does not support one of the door files
- listed during installation, you may have to use a door converter
- program. Once you have run SETUP_SM program, follow your BBS
- documentation to set the BBS up to run RUN_DOOR.BAT If you choose not
- to use SETUP_SM, use an ASCII text editor to change the sample .CFG and
- .BAT files to run your door.
-
- ■ Note: The setup program will automatically create a batch file to run
- the door, and a configuration file for the door. The batch
- file expects to find your BBS door drop file in the same
- directory as the door. If you encounter trouble setting up the
- door, please review both the batch file, and the configuration
- file for possible typos or errors. B.BAT, and C.CFG are sample
- batch and configuration files, with each line commented so you
- will know what goes where.

- │FOSSIL DRIVERS AND│
- │NON-STANDARD IRQS │
- ╘══════════════════╛
-
- This door does have limited support for fossil drivers, though
- it may not function properly in all situations. To use the fossil driver
- instead of the internal comm routines put /FD on the command line when
- running the door:
-
- SWARM.EXE SWARM.CFG /FD
-
- If the door fails to run properly, or you have any
- difficulties, try running it using the internal comm routines before
- reporting any problems.
-
- This door will normally support COM1/COM3 on IRQ4, and
- COM2/COM4 on IRQ 3. To use a non-standard IRQ, add the IRQ number
- after the configuration filename. For example, to use COM1 and IRQ5 do
- the following:
-
- SWARM.EXE SWARM.CFG /5
-
