REALMS.EXE is a small utility designed to allow Users of the DWARZ
door program to create and manage their own leagues.
With this utility, you and a few fellow sysops may easily create your own
league based on whatever preferences you prefer, be it local calling area,
friends/family, or even international--its all up to you!
To use this program is really quite simple, all that is necessary is that
you first assign ONE node in the desired league as the 'league leader' to
whom ALL additions/changes to the realms file must be reported. in the
remainder of this documentation (brief as it may be!) you will be assumed
to be the so-called league leader.
Place the REALMS.EXE file in your Main DWARZ directory, as it will need to
be able to access your Dwarz configuration file (you have Installed DWARZ
haven't you??) then simply start the realms.exe file by typing 'REALMS',
and use the league-ADD selection to ADD your node to the REALMS.DAT file
that will be automatically created (NOTE: THE LEAGUE LEADER MUST BE THE
FIRST NODE IN THE GAME!--ONLY THAT NODE MAY ADD/EDIT/DELETE THE NODES IN
THE GAME!) followed by all the other nodes that you wish to play in your
league (you may wish to use the included entry.frm to get the necessary
information for each node entered).
When entering Nodes, necessary information consists of BBS NAME, SYSOP
NAME, FIDO NODE NUMBER, PHONE Number, and LOCATION. Realms.exe will
automatically check for duplicate entries of certain of this data to
assure that the same node number has not been entered twice, Also if any
of the required information is left blank you will be so notified. Finally
Pressing F10 will ADD/EDIT the required information, with a brief notice
that during ADD the node number was successfully added.
PLEASE NOTE THAT _ALL_ INFORMATION ENTERED IN THE REALMS FILE MUST MATCH
THE INFORMATION ENTERED IN THE INDIVIDUAL NODES DWARZ CONFIGURATION
PROGRAM EXACTLY!! FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN PROBLEMS RECOGNIZING A
REGISTRATION KEY FILE, OR EVEN RECOGNIZING THE NODE NUMBER OF AN INDIVIDUAL
NODE!
When Done, Choose EXIT under the FILES selection, if any changes have been
detected to the current realms file, you will be notified that it has
changed, and will be asked if you wish to 'AUTO-SEND' the realms.dat file.
If you answer 'YES', the file will then be LHA'd and appropriate file
attach messages will be generated in your netmail directory for all the
nodes in the realms file.
MENU SELECTIONS
---------------
OPTIONS: MailFlags.
this function allows you to define the "flags" that will be used when
an outgoing file attach or netmail message is generated. selections

MANAGER: NOTE To Realm.
This function will allow you to send a user defined note to selected
realms within your league. To use this, simply load up your favorite
text (ASCII) editor, create a text file titled 'NOTE.TXT' with the
desired message that you wish to send and save it in your DWARZ directory.
REALMDAT.TXT
------------
This is an ASCII text file that will be appended to the end of your outgoing
file attach messages whenever you send a new realms.dat file to your league.
NOTES:
1. DWARZ will ONLY work with ONE REALMS file called 'REALMS.DAT'!!
2. ADD/EDIT/DELETE functions on REALMS.EXE are ONLY available to the
league leader considered to be NODE ZERO.
