The authors make NO WARRANTIES expressed or implied as
to what this program will or will not do, and will not be liable
for any damages to your system as a result of running this software.
KUWAITI OIL is not a free program and has not been released
to the public domain, if you use this program for 10 days or more
it is understood that you will send registration of $25.00.
Using this program constitutes your exceptance of these terms
and conditions.
Setting up Kuwaiti Oil is very simple, it will run in local mode with
no problem.
NOTE: A COPY OF BRUN30.EXE PATCHED FOR DTR MUST BE IN THE SEARCH PATH
IT CAN BE DOWNLOADED FROM THE NUCLEAR AMOEBA.
You must send a run time parameter for the .CFG file when running
kuwaiti.exe, ie KUWAITI.EXE KUWAITI.CFG.
This file MUST use the following format and all lines
MUST be there or an error will occur.
c:\wildcat\door.sys Line 1, path to door.sys
The Nuclear Amoeba BBS Line 2, Name of your BBS
Andrew Line 3, Sysop's First name
Brown Line 4, Sysop's Last name
c:\wildcat\bulletin\bull1.bbs Line 5, Path to ASCII bulletin
c:\wildcat\bulletin\bull1.scr Line 6, Path to ANSI bulletin
2 Line 7, Number of Plays Allowed per day
45 Line 8, Time Limit each play
19200 Line 9, If Locked DTE, put Locked Baud Rate
otherwise NO must appear here.
NOTE! All 9 lines MUST be present or this game will error.
Sample Door#.bat file:
cd\wildcat\door\kuwaiti
kuwaiti.exe Kuwaiti.cfg
cd\wildcat
cat
If no parameter is sent, Kuwaiti.exe will DEFAULT to the file "KUWAITI.CFG"
so if you only run single node you don't need to send the parameter, but
the file MUST be named KUWAITI.CFG.
Although Kuwaiti currently only recognizes COM1 and COM2, multi node
operation is possible, just create the separate .CFG files for each
node, ie Kuwaiti1.cfg, Kuwaiti2.cfg for nodes 1 and 2 respectively.
Simple enough.
With a conversion program, Kuwaiti SHOULD run on other bbs types, just
convert the existing caller info file into DOOR.SYS.
Kuwait Oil only supports COM1: or COM2: and does it's own monitoring
of the active comport. No need for any watchdog type program.
The Registered version offers:
Control of number of plays per day and time limit per play
*** 8 difficulty levels ***
ANSI and ASCII Score Board Bulletins
