<< Back Alley Craps Door Version 3.0 >>
By Brian Kelley
(C)1989, 1990, 1991 Quik Rabbit Computing, All Rights Reserved
This program is distributed as ShareWare. Once you have
tried it out for a limited period (30 days) and continue to
use it on your BBS you are required to Register it. By
Registering you will also receive a Registration Code that
will unlock several features not found in the UnRegistered
version.
Back Alley Craps is an On-Line program designed to be run
as a Door under many of the Major BBS packages. Players are
allowed to log on once per day (Sysop definable in Reg. Ver.)
and are given $250 to wager with a maximum of 25 bets per play.
Once a bet is placed the dice are rolled and either the player
wins (7 or 11), loses (2,3,12), or is assigned a point to make.
Once a point is assigned, the player continues rolling until
either the point is make or a 7 comes up and the player loses.
Odds of making a point are the same as if a player were actually
rolling two 6-sided dice. The player may continue making bets
until either broke, reaches the 25 bet maximum, or just quits.
On certain roles once the point is has been established the Player
will be allowed to make side bets.
On the last roll the Player must bet half of their current stake.
The score reached is carried over each day. If a player goes broke
then the next day the door is entered by the player, he/she will
again start with $250. Scores are not carried over to the next month. Instead all players again start with $250.
However in the Registered version a Monthly Champ is declared and
will be displayed in the next months score.
This door has not been designed to simulate the type of dice games
played in the Casinos of Vegas, Reno, etc. Instead the rules follow
closely the type of Craps games played in the Pool Rooms and streets
all over the U.S. Once registered Back Alley Craps generates both
an Ascii and Ansi player ranking file that can be displayed in the
BBS Bulletins.

Hardware & Software Requirements:
---------------------------------
To run this program you will need a copy of DOS 3.0 or
later and an MS-DOS compatable computer. You will also need
BBS software that generates Door.Sys, Callinfo.BBS, DorinfoX.Def
or PCBoard.Sys.
Instructions and Installation:
------------------------------
Back Alley Craps Door will now work on any BBS that supports
Wildcat's 2.x Callinfo.BBS, RBBS & QBBS's Dorinfo.Def, Wildcat/GAP's
Door.Sys and PCBoard14's PCBoard.Sys. Locking the Comm port at speeds
up to 19200 is also supported. The .CFG file for ALL doors written
by Brian Kelley have changed significally from previous versions.
This was done to add support for more features and also decrease
the confusion of having Blank lines. Just follow the below listed
examples and modify the included .BAT and .CFG files to meet your
system configuration. A DTR patched copy of BRUN40.EXE must be
either in the door directory or DOS path. BRUN40 is NOT INCLUDED
with this package to save on space and time. If you are having
carrier drop problems call BRE and download a copy that works.
To test the door locally from DOS, type BCRAPS3 LOCAL. When
run from the DOS prompt the door will run only in UnRegistered Mode
since the .CFG file is NOT accessed.
The following is an example batch file of how the door needs
to be loaded when run from your BBS:

CD \WILDCAT

Trouble Shooting
----------------
If you have problems getting this door to work, the following
is a list of problems that have occured repeatedly in the past.
1. Door will NOT run, either remote or local.
Ans. A copy of Brun40.EXE is either NOT in Door Dir. or path.
2. Door will run locally, but drops carrier.
Ans. You need a DTR patched copy of Brun40.EXE. Can be obtained
from BRE and many other BBS's.
3. Door attempts to run but returns error of Bad file name number
in Line 4, Line 5, Line 8, Line 9, etc.
Ans. Usually the line number directly corresponds to the line
number in your .CFG file. An incorrect .CFG file is the
Number 1 culprit when the door will not run. AutoCfg2
a program written to create .CFG files for all our doors
can be downloaded from BRE to make the task easier.
Another common .CFG error involves using WILDCAT as the
BBS type but using Door.Sys as the file to access.
Wildcat refers to 2.X version. Use Door.Sys as the BBS
type for Wildcat 3.0
