5-CARD DRAW POKER Version 2.0 01/10/88
***************************************************************
* If you already have 5-Card Poker on your board, you MUST *
* RUN NEWSKOR.EXE BEFORE RUNNING 5-CARD POKER - VERSION 2.0 *
* See Revision 2.0 data at the end of this file. *
***************************************************************
5-CARD is the game of 5 card draw poker, made to run in a
PCBoard DOOR environment. 5-CARD has been tested on PCB
version 12.1 and is fully compatible.
** If you use 5-CARD on your BBS, a small monetary donation
will insure further development of this and other DOORware.
Even $10 would be greatly appreciated!

--------------------------------------------------------------
Copy 5-CARD.EXE to your "DOORS" directory. 5-CARD-1.CFG
(and 5-CARD-2.CFG for 2 node operation) and BRUN40.EXE
must also be present IN THE SAME DIRECTORY.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Copy the file 5-CARD to your default directory
My default directory is C:\PCB\
My DOORS are run from C:\DOORS\
Make sure you configure the 5-CARD & the 5-CARD-x.CFG
to run on your particular setup.
An example of the CFG files is included.
The file 5-CARD should be setup as follows:
ECHO OFF
CLS
CD\DOORS <=- CD\ (location of 5-CARD.EXE)
5-CARD 5-CARD-1.CFG /NETWORK <=- /NETWORK if running 2 nodes
COPY HICARD.SCR C:\PCB\GEN\BLT4. <=- Copies TOPTEN SCORE file to BLTx
(Use SAME BLT as KRAPZ door if used)
CD\PCB <=- Return to default directory
ECHO ON
BOARD <=- Re-runs PCBOARD
-------------------------------------------------------------
The DOOR will create 2 new files (if they don't exsist) :
SKORCARD and HICARD.SCR
The former is a file that keeps track of the users' score.
The latter is a sorted list of the top ten "HIGH ROLLERS".
-------------------------------------------------------------
Note- There are NO help files for 5-CARD for the users.
If your users don't know how to play 5 card draw, have them
purchase Hoyle's Book of Card Games !

Revision history
****************
Release 1.0
-----------
This release was was beta-test release only. Local distribution.
Release 1.1
-----------
This release was distibuted freely. Most BUGS that exsisted in 1.0
were fixed! Compatible with PCBoard 11.8 & 12.0. Supports 19200.
Release 1.2
-----------
A few minor bugs have been fixed. These include the occasional
"cheating" by the sysops' hand. ( I was tempted to leave that one
in the game !) An ACE LOW STRAIGHT was not recognized in version
1.1. The LOW STRAIGHT is now valid and recognized properly.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Release 2.0
-----------
* NEWSKOR.EXE MUST BE RUN before you install 5-CARD (2.0)
Copy NEWSKOR.EXE to the same directory as your old SKORCARD file.
RUN NEWSKOR.EXE
DEL NEWSKOR.EXE. It won't be needed anymore.
The format of the SKORCARD file has been changed to accomadate
use by 5-CARD 2.0 and KRAPZ 1.5, as a shared PLAYER SCORES file.
OR.... just DELETE the SKORCARD file and start a new contest !
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* If you have NOT run a previous version of 5-CARD, disregard the above.
* MAKE SURE that LINE #4 in your CFG files contains the complete location
of the SKORCARD file. ie. C:\DOORS\SKORCARD.
* MAKE SURE that LINE #5 in your CFG files contains the 'opposing players'
name. ie. Cool Hand Luke ( 15 characters MAX. )
* This version REQUIRES BRUN40.EXE !
