E l y n t h i a : The ultimate Multi-Player D&D adventure

*** NOTE ***
This game is still in major development. It has so far been a
off and on project of mine for about a year. I have had so many
requests for it's release in the past few months, that I have decided
that this beta version will be available for anybody who wants it.
Please report ANY bugs you can. They can be reported via net-mail
to this BBS, or via the ELYNTHIA echo on the following BBS'S:
Name Fidonet Address Telephone Number
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Al's Cabin : 1:13/75 : 1-717-686-3037
Mystery BBS : 1:283/640 : 1-319-364-3935
The Exchange : 1:124/3220 : 1-214-517-8553
Vervan's War Board : 1:207/105 : 1-714-944-7975
Setting it up:
This door is very simple to setup, just de-arc all the files in this
archive into a diretory of your choosing. Run the ELYINIT program using
the RESTART game paremeter; "ELYINIT N". And that's it! the game is ready
to roll.
Running it:
*** NOTE ***
Elynthia no longer requires a fossil driver to run! It supports
up to 9600 baud internally. Fossil routines, will however, be used
if the game detects the presence of a fossil driver. If one is not
found, it will use it's internal routines. If you wish to lock your
com-port (at up to 38,400) the game will detec this automatically
as well. There is no need to change the baud rate in the DORINFO/DOOR
.SYS files to reflect your locked baud rate.
To run the game, you must be able to create either DORINFO1.DEF or
DOOR.SYS files. Create a batch file that copies either of these files
into your Elynthia directory. Then have the batch file run ELYLOAD.EXE
with the following command line paremeter:
1 : if you wish to use DOOR.SYS
2 : if you wish to use DORINFO1.DEF
Then have the batch file run the ELYNTHIA.EXE program. The game should
then execute correctly. If not, there are numerous help screens which
should explain your setup error to you.
Ranking program:
The program ELYRANK.EXE is a simple top 10 ranking program. Just run
it with no command line options to get a help screen on how to use it.
Special Thanks:
To Mike Bloom of the Exchange BBS, who created several of
the dungeons beneath the city, and the monsters who roam them.
To Victor Capton of *A*R*T*H*U*R* BBS, who provided programming assitance
in a few sticky parts. And also for providing T.A.G. BBS software which
has consistently proven to be the fastest growing, and already the best,
BBS package around.
And to Alan Davenport, and Carl Evans who helped beta test the really
boring versions that didn't do much of anything except sit there and look
pretty!
