Overview
----------
Dunk the Sysop! is a game where the user tries to
sink the sysop who sits on a chair suspened above a
pool of water. when the user throws the ball at the
target; if he hits it the sysop will fall in the water
and say a few words; if he misses then the sysop will
spout off an insult to frustrate the user.
In short Dunk the sysop is a very fun game
that is very sysop configurable and easy to setup.

Command Line Options
--------------------
Dunk the Sysop! has numerous command line options in order
to provide flexibility with most computer systems.
Here is a list:
LOCAL - Forces Door to run in local mode. This
is really meant for testing purposes, but it
still reads the configuration file, but doesn't
read the bbs interface file.
NETWORK - Forces file sharing to be active incase you
are using something other than SHARE to manage
file locking.
6
IRQ=n - Lets you change the IRQ used for the com port
specified in the bbs interface file.
(See below for more information)
ADDR=&Hnnnn - Lets you change the address used for the com
port specified in the bbs interface file.
(See below for more information)
PS2 - Forces the PS/2 IRQs and addresses if a PS/2
isn't detected (Normally it is, but you can't
always tell!)
RBBS - Forces Door Source into RBBS/QBBS mode
WILDCAT - Forces Door Source into Wildcat 2.0 mode
DOORSYS - Forces Door Source into 31-Line DOOR.SYS mode
- and for Gap and Wildcat 3.x
PCB121 - Forces Door Source into PCBoard 11.8/12.x mode
with COM 1 active
PCB122 - Forces Door Source into PCBoard 11.8/12.x mode
with COM 2 active
PCB14 - (DEFAULT) Forces Door Source into PCBoard 14.x
mode
When you use the IRQ or the ADDR option, you must include the other.
You can't use just the IRQ and not the ADDR, and you can't use just
the ADDR and not the IRQ. Here's a chart with the STANDARD IRQs
and addresses for the PS/2s and IBM PCs:
Non PS/2
Com port IRQ Address
1 4 &H3F8
2 3 &H2F8
3 4 &H3E8
4 3 &H2E8
5-8 4 &H3F8

Com port IRQ Address
