DOOR DESCRIPTION!
The "Trek Trivia Online" door is one of it's kind.. it allows a user to
select trivia questions from Star Trek the Next Generation or from the
Original Star Trek TV Series.. Once the user selects which category, he/she
is brought to a sub-menu where the game is played from.
Sysops, YOU may adjust how many Questions a user gets each time they play
the game by entering the number in your cfg file(s). (see below). Each
time in the door.. the user is only given that amount of questions.. each
having a randomly selected value which is tripled if the correct answer is
given on the first guess, doubled on the second guess and even money on third
guess.
If the player gets all the questions correct, the player is automatically
brought to a "bonus round" where the player can wager some points on getting
the correct answer in ONE guess to the bonus round question.

NOTE: Trek requires the presence of BRUN45.EXE either in the
same directory as Trek or accessible via PATH. If you set
your library in autoexec.bat and all the brun files there,
then you have no problems..
SET MYLIB = C:\MYLIB
Be sure to put all your brun*.exe files in the mylib directory!
NOTE: This door is multi-node capable and the requirement is to have a
different Trek.cfg passed on the batch file command line, such
as: Trek Trek1.cfg * Trek Trek2.cfg * Trek Trek3.cfg!

ANSI.SYS, or something similar, is required for Trek Trivia Online
to function properly!
