PROBLEMS (Q) AND ANSWERS (A) FOR SRE!
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Q. I get an error message about running SRDOOR!
A. Run SRINSTAL to install the correct BBS type for your system.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Q. I can't figure out what to put in my batch file to run SRE.
A. Run SRINSTAL to set up a batch file automatically.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Q. I don't know how to set up my BBS software to run SRE.
A. Consult your BBS manual for more information. Look for information
on running DOORS. You also need to produce a DOOR FILE when running
SRE. Select a door file format that is compatible with the options
listed in SRINSTAL.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Q. I'm running TAG.
A. Switch to Telegard.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Q. I get snow on my CGA monitor.
A. Use the /BIOS switch when running SRE to remove snow.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Q. I am using DesqView and running SRE produces trash on my screen.
A. Use the /BIOS switch to ensure compatibility with DesqView.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Q. I have a monochrome monitor. How can I play locally without color?
A. Use the /ANSI=0 switch to turn off ANSI color.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Q. My modem buffer causes the pauses and Yes/No prompts to be
extremely slow on the remote side.
A. Use the /NOSPECIALEFFECTS switch to turn off the special effects
at the pauses and Yes/No prompts.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Q. I want to know what the users have done in SRE.
A. Use the /LOG option to write all output to the file SRE.LOG. Note:
this file is overwritten every time SRE runs. /NOSPECIALEFFECTS
is recommended when writing to a log file.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Q. I want a separate file to contain the scores.
A. Use SRE SCORES /LOG /ANSI=1 /LOCAL to write the scores to a file
(SRE.LOG) and then copy SRE.LOG to the file you want the scores
in. Use /ANSI=0 instead of /ANSI=1 to create a non-ANSI file of
scores.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Q. I want to be on the SRE mailing list without paying $15!
A. Fill out the form SRUNREG.TXT and you don't have to pay $15!

Q. I want to register but I don't want my name to appear.
A. Your name will appear at the end of the game in the registered

(A handle is not a legal recepient of registration benefits.)
Sorry!

Q. I want to register but I don't want my name to be added to
junk-mail mailing lists.

junk-mail list. Our list is used ONLY for notifying registered
users of updates and/or bulletins.
