Horses - v1.2 - (C) 1994 Gerry Schechter
Thank you for downloading this file to evaluate our program!
Horses is a PCBoard .PPE which simulates a day at the race track.
Here's how to install it.
1) Copy all of the files from the .ZIP into a directory.
2) Create an entry in your CMD.LST for HORSES.PPE pointing to the directory.
Following the entry, are 2 optional parameters. The first parameter is for
program logging. Use LOGPPE if you want a log created in the .PPE directory.
Use LOGCALL if you want entries in your Caller's log. Use LOGBOTH if you
want both of the above logs. Use LOGNONE if you don't want any logging of
program usage to take place. The second parameter, sets the number of races
allowed per day for each player. For example, to set the number of races per
day to 20, and to have the program log its' usage to your Caller's log, the
CMD.LST would look like this C:\PCB\PPL\HORSES.PPE LOGCALL 20.
3) If you want the program to create a bulletin of high scores, modify the
sample HORSES.BAT. If you do not want a bulletin created, delete HORSES.BAT.
4) If you want the program to run like a door, modify the sample HORSESD file
then make the entry for running a Shell Door pointing to this file.
This program will create a file in the same directory as the .PPE called
HORSES.DAT which is the file that keeps track of the players. It will also
create a file called HORSES.BLT in that directory if you want a bulletin
created. If you want to 'recycle' the game at any time, simply delete
HORSES.DAT. This can be done manually, or with an event.
This copy is an Unregistered Version. It is limited to 10 turns per day, and
up to 10 users can play. The registered version will allow you to decide how
many turns per day, and allow up to 50 users. It will also remove the
ending delay. Please support the Shareware concept if you continue to use
this .PPE for more than 30 days. Thanks!
That's pretty much it. If you have any questions, comments, etc. on this
program, I can be reached on my BBS at (914) 964-0419, or via InterNet at
