Word Search is a word game very much like the hidden word games
you see in newspapers and magazines. A list (theme) of ten words
is selected, then mixed into the playing area, to be found by the
caller using the door. Words can be found horizontally, vertically,
diagonally, in forward or backward spelling. Scoring is based on
the time it takes to find the word in the puzzle.
NOTE: Most errors will be logged to a file called DFRAME.ERR, which is
created in the directory you run the door from.
INSTALLATION
============
To install 5D Word Search do the following;
1. Make a directory to run 5D Word Search from
2. Unzip 5DWSxx.ZIP into the directory
3. Create a configuration file, with a name of your choice, or
modify the supplied 5DWS.CFG file (PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THE
BBS NAME FROM ANoTHeR BBS UNTIL 5DWS IS REGISTERED)
4. Make sure the KEY.CFG reads as described below
CONFIGURATION FILES
===================
5DWS.CFG
--------
The format of the configuration file used by Word Search is:
C:\PCB\PCBOARD.SYS <- For PCBoard systems using PCBOARD.SYS only
C|\PCB\USERS.SYS <- For PCBoard systems using USERS.SYS
Word Search also recognizes the PCBoard
%PCBDRIVE% and %PCBDIR% environment var.
C:\BBS\CALLINFO.BBS <- For Wildcat! systems (prior to v3.x)
C:\BBS\CHAIN.TXT <- For WWIV systems
C:\BBS\USERINFO.DAT <- For Wildcat! 3.x+ systems.
C:\BBS\DOOR.SYS <- For systems that support DOOR.SYS
C:\BBS\DORINFOx.DEF <- For QBBS/RBBS/RA. Replace x with Node #.
C:\BBS\SFDOORS.DAT <- For Spitfire systems.
C:\BBS\TRIBBS.SYS <- For TriBBS systems.
ANoTHeR BBS <- BBS name ("ANoTHeR BBS" if UNREGISTERED)
Walter <- Sysop's first name
Feller <- Sysop's last name
NOTE: Word Search supports 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 you want to
use COM1 and IRQ5. The command line passed to Word Search should be:
5DWS16 5DWS.CFG /5
or 5DWS16 5DWS.CFG /%IRQ% for the environment variable. The /5
tells Word Search to use IRQ5 rather than the standard IRQ4 that is
normally used with COM1. No /x parameter is needed for the standard
IRQ's.
KEY.CFG
-------
Word Search also requires a separate file named KEY.CFG. This file contains
2 lines.
00000000 <--------- Key Number recieved by registration
ANoTHeR BBS <--------- Registered BBS name
If Word Search is not registered, use the two lines described above.
