INTRODUCTION
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Black Hole is a game of deduction. Ten Nuclear ORBs have been
hidden in a black hole near earth by the dreaded Others, a race of pure
energy beings. If they are allowed to explode, earth will be destroyed,
and the eventual downfall of the Humanoid Alliance will be assured.
Your mission will be to imploy new hi-tech probes to search the
black hole for the hidden orbs.

│INSTALLATION │
╘═════════════╛
To install the door, create the directory you wish to run your
door in. Unarchive the files into that directory. Run the INSTALL
program. If your BBS package does not support one of the door files
listed during installation, you may have to use a door converter
program. Once you have run INSTALL program, follow your BBS
documentation to set the BBS up to run RUN_DOOR.BAT If you choose not
to use INSTALL, use an ASCII text editor to change the sample .CFG and
.BAT files to run your door.

│NONSTANDARD COM PORTS│
╘═════════════════════╛
This door will support COM 1-4 on the standard IRQS. COM1 and
COM3 are IRQ4, COM2 and COM4 are IRQ3. To use a non-standardIRQ, edit
the RUN_DOOR.BAT file, and add the IRQ number after the configuration
filename. For example, to use COM1 and IRQ5, edit the batch file, and
change line:
BLAXHOLE.EXE BLAXHOLE.CFG
to
BLAXHOLE.EXE BLAXHOLE.CFG /5
The /5 tells the door to use IRQ5 instead of IRQ4 which is normally used
by COM1.

│REGISTRATION BENEFITS│
╘═════════════════════╛
All the latest upgrades are FREE! The following options will be

o The number of turns per day.
o The number of minutes the player will have to find the orbs.
In addition, a special option menu will be made available to the
players that will allowing them to turn probe tracking on and off, (the
probes normally have a flashing tracking square tracing their movement
through the black hole), and turn roving orbs on and off. (Normally all
orbs stay in one location until they are found. To increase the
challenge, the player would be able to have the last four orbs randomly
move about the hole.)
