BRAINEX BLACKJACK
ANSI/RIP
(C) Copyright 1993 by Stanley Sheff
Support BBS: The Brainex System
(310) 275-2344
(310) 273-5234
-------------------------------------------
This program requires installtion using The Brainex Door Manager.
If you have not installed this program, please download BRAINEX.ZIP
from the The Brainex System, then install the program.
To use RIP, your callers should have the Brainex Icons in their
RIP icons directory. The Brainex icons are available in the file
BXICONS.ZIP available from the Brainex System. Blackjack will
check to see if the callers has the icons, and if not, they will
be allowed to download BXICONS.ZIP from the Blackjack program itself.
Be sure you have the file BRAINEX.DAT dated after 8/31/93 in your
BRAINEX directory. To install this door type:
SETUP
BJACK.EXE will be copied to the BRAINEX directory.
An online help file (BJACK.HLP) will be copied to BRAINEX\BJACK.
Once you have installed the door, you must then create a a batch
file to call the door. A batch file for a GAP BBS might look like this:
Single Node BBS sample batch file:
@ECHO OFF
BLKJACK
Node 2 batch file:
@ECHO OFF
BLKJACK NODE=2
Use the NODE= command to indicate node number.
Customizing Dealers (REGISTERED VERSION)
=========================================
Create an ASCII text file named BRAINEX\BJACK\DEALERS.TXT, and put
the dealer names you want to use - one on each line. If this file does
not exist, Blackjack will default to it's own set of dealers.
GAP BBS
-------
You will also need to modify your doors menu files and the data
file that tells the BBS what your doors are and the security
level needed to access them. For GAP, these are respectively:
DOORM
DOORMG
DOORS.DAT
Please refer to your BBS documentation for details on
setting up these files.
===================================================
The following sysop functions are available while awaiting
keyboard input :
F5 - Shell to DOS.
F8 - Twit user and return to BBS.
F10 - Initiate chat with user.
CF10 - Answer user MANUAL bell.
Home - Main user stats.
End - Displays sysop keys available.
PgDn - Secondary user stats.
Up Arrow - Increase user's time remaining by 5 minutes.
Dn Arrow - Decrease user's time remaining by 5 minutes.
One of the nicer features about using the TWIT key, is the user
is not told that "the sysop wants them to return to the BBS".
Instead, a very plain and simple message of "returning you to the
BBS" is displayed. This way, the user is given no indication
that the sysop is hovering about.
When using the F5 shell to DOS key, to return to the door
program, simply type EXIT at the DOS command prompt. It is not
necessary to change directories back to the door directory.
Manual is smart enough to know which drive and directory the
door program is in and will reset the defaults upon return from
DOS.
The Up and Down Arrow keys increase and decrease the user's time
respectively by 5 minutes for each press of the key. There is no
indication of what is occurring (except by the fact the user's
time remaining will change), so the sysop should try not to have
a lead finger. The increase or decrease is effective only while
the user is in the program.
This version of BLACKJACK is a DEMO. It will not save players' cash
to disk, and only allow an intitial bankroll of $50. When registered,
users' cash will be saved to disk, and an initial bankroll of $1000
will be given to new players.
You must register The Brainex Door Manager as well as Blackjack to
enable the features of the registered version of Blackjack.
Have Fun!
