|13 I am releasing this version as a wide beta. Why? No, not because it is
|05 full of bugs. Not at all. It has been thoroughly tested by several sysops
|05 and just about all the bugs are gone. However, there may be a few minor
|05 bugs (very minor) and that is why I am making this a wide beta. For a
|05 wide beta, it is extremely stable! :)

|13TXDS |05is a simple and easy to use door/system for any BBS. It allows the
|05 sysop to create simple or complex doors using a scripting and menu system.
|05 The editor for creating door game modules is easy to use and offers online
|05 help for every option available. The documentation is extensive and covers
|05 a wide range of topics which allow you to begin creating your own door
|05 utilities or door game worlds.
|13Ashrella |05is a door game module (XED file) for TXDS. It is a full featured
|05 door game with many exciting options such as blessing, cursing, full multinode
|05 mode, and many other player interaction options. One of the most exciting
|05 aspects of Ashrella is the scope of its storyline and world. Ashrella is not
|05 your regular run-of-the-mill door game. Instead, it is an enveloping game
|05 which will take you to many places within its realm. You will not only fight
|05 monsters on the ground, but also under ground, and even in the clouds up in
|05 the sky. Ashrella is a long and challenging adventure that will definitely
|05 take the player several weeks to complete. Your users will be hooked after a
|05 week of playing.

|13This version of TXDS is different from the others. |05Why? Probably because I
|05 felt less pressure to hurry up and release this version, unlike the other
|05 ones. The other versions had bugs which forced me to release new versions
|05 to soon which caused more problems. However, the previous version (Patch A)
|05 fixed some major bugs, however, many bugs remained. Many things have
|05 happened since the previous version as well. I was preparing for my new BBS
|05 to open (on December 9, 1995) but a few days before it I had a HD failure. I
|05 lost everything on the drive -- including some recent changes to TXDS and a
|05 new editor for XED files. Discouraged, I was thinking of scrapping all of
|05 TXDS altogether. Later, I realized how foolish it would be to do that, so
|05 I decided to rebuild the changes I had lost (I had a backup of TXDS, of
|05 course, that I could work with <grin>). So, I redid the entire BBS from
|05 memory and it opened on January 9, 1996 seamlessly. During this time, I was
|05 able to rebuild Xedit, the new editor, and add several new features and fix
|05 bugs within TXDS. Because I had pushed the release date back a few more
|05 months, I had less pressure to rush, and the end product you have before you
|05 has many features I had wanted to add before but were either too lazy to add
|05 or didn't have time to implement. It is also being beta tested (by you and
|05 others) so that no future problems occur. Above all, I made the system to
|05 be more professional in look and feel. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you.
|12Cheers!

|05WHATS.NEW file for information on changes that have been made. There are
|05some things that must be done when upgrading.
