OVERVIEW
________
Triple Yahtzee is played exactly like the board game. Since this game
can take a while to play to completion, a game save feature has been
included. This feature allows the caller to save the game contents and
return to the same game on their next call automatically.
NOTE: Most errors will be logged to a file called DFRAME.ERR, which is
created in the directory you run the door from.
NON-REGISTERED R E S T R I C T I O N S
----------------------------------------
° No Bulletins created
° Games per day limited to 1
° Keyboard timeout value limited to 2 minutes
° Makeup days disabled
° Game time limit disabled
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 YAHTZEE files
2) Unzip TYAHTZxx.ZIP into the the above directory
3) Create a configuration file, with a name of your choice, or
modify the supplied YAHTZEE.CFG file. A description follows:
