ProLot - Another DOOR for "ProKit"
----------------------------------
This door program implements a real lottery for your users.
Each ticket costs a minute. Losing tickets are thrown into the pot.
Winners are credited with most of the time in the jackpot.
The sysop can control the amount of "cream" taken off the top...
resulting in a total reduction in online time.
Here is a sample configuration file:
HANDSHAKE
c:\pcb\gen\blt12
68.0
1549
0.10
100
The last winner was SYSOP, who won 80 minutes on 02-04-88 17:51.
c:\pcb\gen\blt13
--------------------------
Configuration file format:
line 1 = Driver type (HANDSHAKE, INTERRUPT, BIOS, PCBTRAP)
line 2 = Lottery status bulletin filename
line 3 = Number of minutes currently in the pot
line 4 = Number of tickets sold so far
line 5 = Fraction of time taken aside for sysop
line 6 = Odds against winning (higher numbers give higher jackpots)
line 7 = Information about the last winner
line 8 = Lottery winner history bulletin filename
The lottery generates a bulletin each time it is run. You can post this
bulletin to let your users know how big the jackpot is (which should
encourage them to buy more tickets).
