This program is provided as is with no warranties

This program may be used by you for 30 days to evaluate
and decide if you wish to REGISTER this program. If you
decide that you do not wish to REGISTER this program then
please remove it from your BBS door section. In the
event you wish to REGISTER this door please print out the

You may freely distribute this program as long as no

REQUIREMENTS:
_____________
BRUN45.EXE Runtime File (This is Needed For The Program to Run)
CGA Monitor (sysop end only, MONO ok on remote providing
remote user receives ansi)
IMB XT/AT/386
Also supports Desqview.
This program has been tested on the following systems.
Wildcat 2,X, and 3.0
Gap v4.0 and Greater
Pcboard v14.0
QuickBBS v2.64 thru v2.75
SuperBBS
Remote Access
Spitfire BBS
DorinofX.Def Drop Files
-----------------------
This program should also work with other DORINFOx.DEF & DOOR.SYS
producing BBS's. For other BBS's not mentioned, there are MANY
door conversion utilities available.
You will also need a copy of Brun45.exe in your path or file
directory along with SOLITAIRE. My suggestion is to have it in your
dos path so you don't have duplicate copies of it anywhere.
INSTALLATION OF THE DOOR:
_________________________
USING THE INSTALL PROGRAM:
--------------------------
I have made a program called INSTALL that will automatically
make the SOL.CNF file needed to run the program.
1. First create a directory for the program and
place all the files in that directory.
C:\WILDCAT\DOOR\SOL (whatever you door directory will be)
2. Below is what the SOL.CNF file should look like.
Line one is the path to your dropfile.
Line two is the name of your BBS
Line three is your name that you use on your
BBS.
Line four is where you specify what type of BBS software you
have.
Line five is where you specify if you are running at lock
baud or not. If you are running lock baud then enter the
baud rate....ie 9600 or 19200 or 38400. Enter 0 for
none.
Line six is to tell if you wish to have page available or not.
1 = YES 0 = NO
Line seven is the total time you wish a user to be on the door
at one given time.
Line eight is how many times a user may play the game per day.
Line nine is the IRQ information for comm port 3
Line ten is the IRQ information for comm port 4
Line eleven is the number of pints to be given for each card
played on the foundation.
Line twelve is the number of points to required to break even.
Line thirteen is the bonus points for clearing the Solitaire
Board.
Line fourteen is where you will specify the ASCII Bulletin path
and filename.
Line fifteen is where you will specify the ANSI Bulletin path and
filename.
Okay here is what the whole thing should look
like after you finish:
C:\WILDCAT
The Lighthouse BBS
Danny Davis
WC3
19200 or 0 for none
1
30
5
03E8 3
02E8 4
10
100
250
C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULL1.ANS
C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULL1.ASC
3. Okay now lets look at are batch file to start
the game.
WILDCAT DOOR#.BAT :
-----------------------
DOOR#.BAT
CD\WILDCAT\DOOR\SOL
SOL
CD\WILDCAT
CAT
QuickBBS & DORINFOx.DEF (a TYPE 15 for QuickBBS)
-----------------------
You may specify up to 9 different DorinfoX.def 's by
selection from within the install program.
D:
CD\DOORS\SOL
SOL
C:
CD\QBBS
GOTO RESTART
To run as a type 7 (for QuickBBS), simply put the SOL.BAT
file in the QuickBBS directory, using "*C /C SOL.BAT" in
the optional data line in the type 7 menu. (there are
other ways to do it, this is the easiest).
Gap and Pcboard:
________________
DOOR#.BAT
CD\DOOR\SOL

GAP
For Local Players (Non BBS)
___________________________
1. Okay just edit the SOL.CNF to state the path
where your SOLITAIRE files are. See example below.
Plus use the /LOCAL command
Okay lets say my path is C:\SOL
The SOL.CNF will look like the following:
C:\SOL
The Lighthouse BBS 'Whatever you wish for this line
Danny Davis 'Your Name
DOOR.SYS 'Leave as Door.Sys
0 'You need not to speciffy LockBaud
1 'N/A
30 'Max Time Per Game
5 'Max Time On
03E8 3 'N/A
03E8 4 'N/A
10 'points for cards played
100 'deduction points for each game
250 'Bouns for clearing board
PATH\FILENAME 'for ansi bulletin
PATH\FILENAME 'for ascii bulletin
Maintenance :
-------------
Also enclosed is a maintenance file that needs to be ran once a
day to keep the player.dat file clean. By passing a nuber value
from 8-30 you can specify how many days you will allow a user to
stay in the door before being deleted.
i.e. MAINT 17 'this allows 17 days before a player is deleted
for non-use
SOLBULL :
----------
This file can be ran each time the door is exited or in a
nightly batch file. It will make a ANSI and a ASCII Bulletin
from the information you specify in your installation module.
Page Files :
------------
Read the PAGE.CTL and configure it to meet your needs.
Multi - Line BBS :
------------------
Well this is a rather simple task. When you run the install
program you can pick upto 4 different configuration files.
To run this door as a multi door all you need to do is place
the following statement:
SOL SOL1.CNF
And so on for the rest of the configuration files. The
reason for this is so you may specify the different
LOCKBAUD rates for each node.
Support BBS :
-------------
The Lighthouse BBS
209-442-8329
Fido Net 1:205/75
US ROBOTICS DUAL STANDARD
Registration of this door will cost you $15.00 plus shipping
and handling. With your registration you will recieve a key file
that will work with all future versions of SOLITAIRE.
