OilField 1.0
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, Spitfire BBS, Telegard, PC-Board 14.x and
Opus 1.14. PC-Board 12.x and Auntie BBS are beta versions.
- BBS notes -> OILFIELD.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
The default version does not check the player time, or get the player
name from the BBS. Recommendend time allowed is from 25 to 30 minutes.
For proper installation check BBSINFO.DOC and BBSNOTES.DOC.
- OilField.Ins
This file needs to be placed in the same directory as OilField.Exe.
- BBS Info -> Regisration and Trial Run -
You may try before you buy. Please limit your trial period to
a maximum of two 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 recieve trial versions of all other
games currently available. See REGISTER.DOC for the registration.
- Get to the point -> The game explained -
Detailed instruction are found by playing the game. Basically,
you are given $1,000,000, and you drill up to 10 wells, trying to
strike it rich. Later versions of this documentation will have
a more detailed description.
- Hall of Fames -
The game creates two Hall of Fame files:
OilFBBS.HOF
This contains the Hall of Fame. If you get tired of it, just
delete it and start over. The Hall of Fame contains 24 entries,
the all-time high, last month's 3 best, and this month's top 20.
This is NOT a text file.
OilHOF.Txt (default - can be changed - see command line directive /Y)
This file contains the all time high, last months three best, and
the current top ten scores. It is formatted for a one screen
display. Excellent for bulletins, etc...
- 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 the WWIVnet.
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.
