STATES
v2.3
PCBoard 14.x and GAP
by
Al Lawrence
Sunrise-80 BBS
(404) 256-9525
OVERVIEW
________
STATES is an educational game whereby you select one of the 50 United
States and the computer askes you a series of questions in an attempt
to guess the State you selected.
NOTE: Most errors will be logged to a file called DFRAME.ERR, which is
created in the directory you run the door from.
INSTALLATION
____________
Installation is fairly easy and straight-forward. The following steps and
examples should have you up and running in a very short period of time.
It is assumed that you are familiar with setting up DOORS on your system.
To this end, only examples of the configuration file and Door batch file
are described.
1) Create a directory to hold all STATES files
2) Unzip STATESxx.ZIP into the the above directory
NOTE: BRUN45.EXE is NOT included but IS required !!!
^^^ ^^
3) Create a configuration file, with a name of your choice, or
modify the supplied STATES.CNF file. A description follows:
C:\PCB\ ** Location of System File
SUNRISE-80 BBS Your BBS Name
Al Sysop's First Name
Lawrence Sysop's Last Name
25 Maximum # of Games
** Replace With ONE of the Following:
PCBOARD.SYS ..... For PCBOARD Systems
DOOR.SYS ........ For Systems that Support DOOR.SYS
CALLINFO.BBS .... For WILDCAT! Systems
DORINFOx.DEF .... For QBBS/RBBS/RemoteAccess Systems
SFDOORS.DAT ..... For SPITFIRE Systems
4) Create a batch file or modify the STATES file supplied. A
description of this file follows:
ECHO off
cd\PCB\DOORS\STATES Location of States files
STATES STATES.CNF EXE filename and CNF filename (Name
used in creating file in #3 above)
CD\PCB
BOARD
5) When running in more than one node, be sure to supply a
different configuration name for each node (your choice of name).
COM Support
___________
Support for COM 1-4 on the standard IRQ's - COM1/COM3 = IRQ4 and
COM2/COM4 = IRQ3. If you wish to use a non-standard IRQ, add the IRQ
number after the configuration filename. Let's assume your Door is
called FOOBAR and you want to use COM1 and IRQ5. The command line
passed to your Door would be:
FOOBAR FOOBAR.CFG /5
The /5 tells FOOBAR to use IRQ5 rather than the standard IRQ4 that is
normally used with COM1. No /x parameter is needed for the standard
IRQ's.

REGISTRATION
____________
There is NO registration required for this program. This is FREEWARE!
Hopefully this program will serve to enhance your caller's knowledge
of the 50 United States. All I ask is that you promote its availability
on your BBS. Who knows, maybe we can help educate a small part of the
population.
If you get a chance I would appreciate you filling out the registration
form (REGISTER.FRM) for my records. You may mail it or upload it to my
BBS. Mailing it along with a Password, will allow me to pre-register you
on the BBS.
MISC

are always available for download from SUNRISE-80 BBS and/or SALTAIR BBS.
