Galactic Empires 1.03
Verified BBS systems include WWIV, WildCat, GAP, GT, DoorWay, all the
various DorInfo.Def systems (EIS-PC, FoReM, OLEcom, QuickBBS, RBBS,
Remote Access, TAG, and TP-Board), 2 A.M., Forum, ModuleX, Phoenix,
RyBBS, Search Light, and Spitfire BBS, Telegard, PCBoard 14.x, and
Opus 1.14. PCBoard 12.x and Auntie BBS are in need of BETA testing.
Please read BBSNOTES.DOC for more information.
- BBS notes -> GEBBS.EXE -
- general info
This program directly accesses the com port and uses ANSI escape
sequences to update the user's screen. This is the fastest and most
complete BBS version. It will run on all BBS systems that I've tried.
This is the program that should be set up for the remote users to access.
You will need to put GEMAIN.INS and GEGAME.INS in the same directory
as GEBBS.EXE. These are the instruction files that the game looks for.
- BBS notes -> GEDAILY.EXE -
- general info
This program is designed to be run as a daily or regularly timed event.
I recommend running it once a day at about 4am, but you can run it more
than once a day. There is only one command line option currently
available for this program. Putting 'e' after the program will keep the
program from echoing. The 1.1 release will have a richer selection of
options based on the feedback I get. Normally this program will take
15-20 seconds to run, but if it is initializing a game, it can take
upwards of 10 minutes on a PC/XT. This needs to be run in the directory
the data files that GEBBS creates are kept. All program activity is
logged in GEDAILY.LOG.
- BBS Info -> Regisration and Trial Run -
You may try before you buy. Please limit your trial period to
a maximum of three months. This game will not self-destruct, and
I won't send the mafia after you, but we are all in this together.
Regisration costs $10. For that price you will get your own
personalized version of the game featuring your registration number
and BBS info. You will also receive trial versions of all other
games currently available.
- Get to the point -> The game explained -
Detailed instruction are found by playing the game. I am including
a file called GERULES.DOC. This file contains the help screens that
the user get when playing the game.
- That's Not My Table - Tech Talk -
The SysOp accepts all responsibility for this programs implementation.
The Author is not responsible for any damages caused by running these
programs. If you are attempting an installation, it is always best
to TEST the program before opening it up to the public. Make sure
all switches are correct. If you have any technical questions or
suggestions, please send a SASE to the above address or contact me
through E-Mail on one of the networks listed above.
If you find another system that this runs on/under that is not
mentioned above, please include that in your regisration. I am
always looking for new systems.
