OVERVIEW
________
This version of Trivia is played very simply by trying to answer the
questions presented. A point value is assigned to each question and the
caller receives that point value when the question is answered correctly.
There is a "hints" option on the menu, for caller use, which only gives
the number of words contained in the answer. The answers MUST MATCH
EXACTLY and thus makes this version of Trivia a real challenge.
NOTE: Most errors will be logged to a file called DFRAME.ERR, which is
created in the directory you run the door from.
INSTALLATION
____________
Installation is fairly easy and straight-forward. The following steps and
examples should have you up and running in a very short period of time.
It is assumed that you are familiar with setting up DOORS on your system.
To this end, only examples of the configuration file and Door batch file
are described.
1) Create a directory to hold all TRIVIA files
2) Unzip TRIVIAxx.ZIP into the the above directory
3) Create a configuration file, with a name of your choice, or
modify the supplied TRIVIA.CFG file. A description follows:

C:\BBS\DORINFOx.DEF <- For ANY systems that support DORINFOx.DEF
C:\BBS\SFDOORS.DAT <- For Spitfire systems.
c:\bbs\TRIBBS.SYS <- For TriBBS systems.

* if using this option you must put the
ComPort # on line 5 and the Node # on
line 6 of the configuration file
# = Requires registration to change to a different value.
! = See "Plays Per DAY/DOOR Time" Below
@ = See "Blackout Periods" Below
NOTE: There are NO Blank Lines in the Config File!!
4) Create a batch file or modify the PAIR3 file supplied. A
description of this file follows:
ECHO off
cd\PCB\DOORS\TRIVIA Location of Trivia files
TRIVIA TRIVIA.CFG EXE filename and CNF filename (Name
used in creating file in #3 above)
CD\PCB
BOARD
5) When running in more than one node, be sure to supply a
different configuration name for each node (your choice of name).
6) If running with Fossil-based multi-port boards add
/FD to the line containing the CFG name as follows:
TRIVIA TRIVIA.CFG /FD
TROUBLESHOOTING
---------------
(1) If you are running this Door on a 486 system and encounter errors such as
ERROR 6.... OVERFLOW Error
ERROR 5.... ILLEGAL Function Call (may be associated with other problems)
KEYBOARD Timeout after 5 minutes
You may have to put the following line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
SET NO87=ON
(2) If you encounter an Error 62 (Input Past End of File), BEFORE you see the
opening screen of the Door, your problem will more than likely be associated
with the CFG file. The error 62 means that you do not have enough entries
in the CFG. Compare your CFG file with the CFG definition in the DOC file.
