Warranty
This is product is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. The
entire risk as to the results and performance of the program is assumed by
you. Futher more, I the author do not warrant, guarantee, or make any
representations regarding the use of, or the results of the use of the program,
and you rely on the program and results solely at your own risk. I the author
cannot accept responsibility for system damage, loss of profit, or any other
special, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from the use or
inability to use this product.
Copyright
The Multi-Board Super Recall live game is distributed as SHAREWARE.
Under this concept you may use the SHAREWARE (unregistered) version for a
reasonable period of time, which I consider to be three weeks, after which you
must either register your copy or discontinue usage.
Registration
With registration you will recieve the latest registered copy of Super
Recall with the ability to download any futher updates at no extra cost.
You will also recieve any support the author can give in reference to bugs
or other problems that may arise in using the game.
I feel that sysop's have enough expense without charging a high cost for a game
for their users. I have set the cost of registeration at $15.00 which I feel
if people will follow the shareware concept will be enough to cover shipping
and handling and encourage me to write more doors.
See register.txt for ordering instructions.
Distribution
You are free, in fact encouraged, to distribute the SHAREWARE (unregistered)
version of The Multi-Board Super Recall Live Game provided that all files
contained in the original Super Recall archive are distributed in their
original unmodified state.

Introduction
&
How To Play
The game of Super Recall starts with 16 doors being displayed. Behind these
doors are 8 prizes. You must match two halves of a prize to win it. You
have to have a good memory to remember which prize was behind which door
as the doors close again after each pick. If you match the two halves
then you win the money value of the prize. You have up to seven (7) tries
to match a prize and then the prizes are all reshuffled behind the doors.
Options and Information
This door game will also create color and mono top 10 bulletins and write them
in directories of your choice written in the .CFG file.
The game tracks the montly champion and also displays it within the color
and ascii bulletins.
Installation and Setup
Installation procedures are relatively simple.
Create a new directory and dissolve the contents of Super.zip into it.
Run Setup.exe and answer the questions as they appear. If you have problems
answering a particular question please read the detailed instructions below.
Create a batch file to call the game from your bbs. If you don't know how
to do this refer to the BATCH FILES section below.
The following are what is in each file:
Super.CFG contains:
The Secret Service BBS <-- Name of BBS
Mike <-- Sysop's first name
Wilson <-- Sysop's last name
C:\Path\BBSInfo.??? <--Path and filename for Board Info. File (See below)
C:\Path\Color.scr <-- Path & Filename to create COLOR bulletin
C:\Path\Mono.bbs <-- Path & Filename to create MONO bulletin
NO <-- NO or locked COM PORT Baud Rate
U <-- U for Unlimited plays per day O for Once per day
The line asking for BBSInfo file refers to the path and name of the file
that your particular BBS software creates when it drop out to run a door.
This would be:
Wildcat prior to V3.0 ---> Callinfo.bbs PCBoard -----> PCBoard.sys
GAP or WILDCAT 3.0+ -----> Door.sys Spitfire ----> SFDoors.dat
QuickBBS ------> DorinfoX.def (The X would be 1 or 2 depending on node #)
A proper example of the line would be: C:\Wildcat\Callinfo.bbs
The lines refering to Color and Mono Bulletins is asking for a proper path
and filename to write the top ten bulletins to.

NOTE FOR MULTI NODES!
You may now have several .cfg files to allow use on multinode systems.
Use the above .cfg format but name each .cfg file differently. You
may call them what you want as long as you correctly call them from
the batch file command line.
Example: Node1: game game.cfg
Node2: game game1.cfg
*** If you run multi-nodes and need to alter the address or IRQ of Com 3
or 4 please read Port.doc for instructions!
SUPER.DAT contains:
This file contains the following user data:
"The Champion","11-01-1988","100"
"Mike Wilson","11-23-1988","100"
Data has to be kept in this format, but you can delete all lines except for
line number 1 which is the Last Months Champ line. You can alter line 1 but
not remove it. You need to alter line 1's Date form 11-01-1988 to the month
that your setting up this door. For example if it is December just simply
change the Date to 12-01-1988. It doesn't matter if it's the 1st or the 10th,
only the Month (12) will make any difference.
SUPER.TXT contains:
This is the instruction file for Super Recall. When a user selects the
See Instructions option during the game, this file is read for
instructions. This file MUST BE PRESENT and Not altered in any way for
Super Recall to run properly
BOARD.TXT
---------
Don't worry about this file. It is created when you run setup.exe
This file tells the game which BBS Software you are running and
tells it to read the correct board file. THERE SHOULD NOT BE A

PRIOR TO VERSION 3.0!
The game looks for this file and defaults to Wildcat if it isn't
found.
For other boards it will contain one line with one of the following:
QuickBBS --------> QBBS GAP or WILDCAT 3.0+ ---> GAP
PCBoard ---------> PCB Spitfire --------------> SPITFIRE
