OVERVIEW
________
WORDZEE is a VERY challenging letter-dice word game. The object of the game
is to fill all categories, in all games, and accumulate as many points as
possible by forming word(s) and letter combinations as defined in the
scoring section of the playing board.
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 WORDZEE files
2) Unzip WORDZxx.ZIP into the the above directory
3) Create a configuration file, with a name of your choice, or
modify the supplied WORDZEE.CFG file. A description follows:

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 WORDZEE file supplied. A
description of this file follows:
ECHO off
cd\BBS\DOORS\WORDZEE Location of WORDZEE files
WORDZEE WORDZEE.CFG EXE filename and CFG filename (Name
used in creating file in #3 above)
CD\BBS
BOARD
5) When running in more than one node, be sure to supply a
different configuration name for each node (or see below).
6) If running with a Fossil-based multi-port board add
/FD to the line containing the CFG name as follows:
WORDZEE WORDZEE.CFG /FD
