~~~~~~~~
The future of this product depends heavily upon users supporting it. And I
will not waste alot of your time repeating what you have probably already read
about a BILLION times! Just do the BBS world a favor and register this
interface. We want to write more and make better games. But if no support is
shown for our work then we will drop out of the BIZ and do something that pays
better. (Would you do any different if you had mouths to feed?)
Unpacking the Interface
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Go into the directory where you keep your
communications program.
2. Make a subdirectory called ANSIPIT.
Type: md ansipit
3. Change into the ANSIPIT directory. Do NOT leave this
directory during the installation process.
Type cd ansipit
4. Copy all of the files from your interface disks into
this directory. Be sure to specify the proper drive to
copy from.
Type: copy A:*.*
5. UnARJ the game files into the ANSIPIT directory.
Type: UNARJ PTERM2D.ARJ or ARJ e PTERM2D.ARJ
Telemate
~~~~~~~~
7. Copy the file ANSIPIT.BAT to your communications
directory.
Type: copy ANSIPIT.BAT C:\telemate
8. Load up telemate.
9. Escape from the dialing directory.
10. Press Alt O to change options.
11. Select the Protocol option.
12. The ANSI Pit loads itself like an external protocol.
You will need to delete one of the other protocols that
you don't use often, and replace it with one called
ANSIPIT.
+- External Protocols ---------------------------------------------+
| Protocol Upload Download Prompt Auto-Download |

| BiModem BI-MODEM BI-MODEM [ ] |
| Jmodem J JMODEM-U JMODEM-D [X] |
| *ANSIPIT P ANSIPIT ANSIPIT [ ] |
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
13. Once you've created the protocol your screen should
look like the one above, notice the line for ANSIPIT
has an asterisk.
14. Once this protocol is set up, all you need to do to
activate the interface is PgDwn when the program asks
you to, select P for ANSIPIT and the Ansi Pit will
coordinate itself with your host BBS.
15. See the Player Documentation for instructions on
playing The Pit once you're connected.

11. The Ansi Pit loads itself like an external protocol.
Create a new protocol called ANSIPIT. Have it use the
P hot key to start up and use the U/L and D/L filename

interface disks.
12. After you've entered this information, your screen
