COVER 11 ! V2.0
(C) Copyright 1992 by Robert Poirier
Support BBS: The Parrot's Den BBS
(508) 765-9387
A Solitaire Card Game for PcBoard , GAP and other systems.
------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the Cover 11 ! The game is fairly simple to play with
all instructions in the door itself. The game is quite simple in
playing. Each pair of cards to be removed must total 11 in any
suit. All face cards are blockers as they can't be removed from the
playing board. The play board consists of twelve cards. Removing the
pairs earns 20 points, with a bonus 200 points for using up the deck.
Scores are kept in a scores file in the registered version and the
scores are rolled over the first of every month. Scores are kept
throughtout the month on an accumulated basis (daily totals added
all month long). Last month high scorer kept in score file. New in
version 2.0 is the abiltiy to play missed days (at the rate of 3
makeup days per day).
This door is written for BBSes that use 31-line DOOR.sys, PcBoard 11.8,
PcBoard 14.+, Wildcat, RBBS/QBBS dorinfo1.def.

BRUN45.EXE (patched for DTR) is needed somewhere in your path
for this program to run. If you don't have a copy, call my board
