Proudly presents...
Blackjack Frustration
A door game for Wildcat! and Other BBS'
Copyright Crystal Systems International (c) 1991
==============================================================================
BLACKJACK FRUSTRATION PAGE 1
INTRODUCTION
============
Welcome to Blackjack Frustration, a door game for ALL BBS'. This game
is one where players try to beat the house at blackjack, but this game
has a few diabolical twists to it that make the name Frustration apt.
HOW TO PLAY
===========
Please see the file BJF.TXT for instructions on how to play Blackjack
Frustration.

SET-UP
======
The first thing you'll need to do, if you haven't already, is to
download a copy of the file BJF.KEY. This is the file needed to
run this program in ANY mode (including LOCAL mode).
This door uses MicroSoft QuickBASIC library BRUN45.EXE to operate.
I have made this door as "Murphy-proof" as I possibly could. This
shareware demo version has a time bomb in it. To those SysOp's that
feel that time bombs are unfair, I counter with the fact that the
first three door releases of mine were all without any time bombs at
all and now, after over 300 downloads of those programs, I have
exactly 13 paid registrations. My time and effort are valuable to
me and my company and therefore, we tried it without time bombs and
it didn't work, so now we try it WITH time bombs and see how that
goes.
As a suggestion for getting user's help in registering doors, one local
SysOp here has a unique idea - Adopt A Door. Users select which door
they wish to "adopt" and then send in the registration fees to the SysOp.
We at Crystal feel that this is a unique and worthwile concept.
This version is a complete working copy of the registered version.
Other than that, I have also included the file CREATEBJ.EXE. Use this
file to create the DOORxx.BAT or LIVExx.BAT file needed to call the
game from Wildcat and also create the file BJF.CFG tailored to your
BBS. All you need to do is to create the directory where the program
will be run from (Ex: D:\WILDCAT\DOORS\BJF), then move ALL of the
files included in this .ZIP into that directory and then type CREATEBJ
and follow the instructions and prompts.

CLOSING
=======
In closing, let me say that I hope that you and your users enjoy this
game as much as I did putting it together. I welcome comments or
suggestions on how to make this or other programs released by myself
better. This program will work with a locked DTE up to 19200 and has
been tested as such on several systems. It should also be noted that
BJF.EXE runs with CATPATCH version 3 released by Jim Brewer and is
available on Mustang Software's Wildcat! BBS for registered SysOps and
on several other BBS' around the country. BJFV3.EXE runs with a
derivative of CATPATCH version 3 called DOOR PATCH, modified by
Crystal Systems International to run with Wildcat Version 3 and with
other BBS'. DOOR PATCH is not yet available for general release.
Crystal Systems International is always looking for good ideas for
door programs. If you have a good idea that you would like to see
made into a door, drop us a line at our mailing address with as much
information on your idea as possible. If we make it into a door,
the person who sent the idea in will get a FREE REGISTERED COPY of that
door program!
Registration fees for this program are $20 US and checks should be
made out to and sent to:
Timothy L. Rivers
President
Crystal Systems International
Post Office Box 110651
Hialeah, Florida 33011-0651
Please make sure that all checks are payable to Timothy L. Rivers and
NOT to Crystal Systems International!!
This program is fully supported through the above address and through
Mustang Software's support BBS for registered SysOps.
This door game, as with all of the doors written by myself and Crystal
Systems International, is lovingly dedicated to my "significant other"
and best friend in the world, Ginny. She is the real creative force
behind Crystal Systems and I thank her daily for it.
A SPECIAL OFFER FROM CRYSTAL SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL................
Buy any five (5) doors from us and get a sixth one, of your choice,
ABSOLUTELY FREE! That means if you buy ten (10) doors, you'll actually
