Throw Out - v 2.0
(C) Copyright 1992 by Robert Poirier
Support BBS: The Parrot's Den BBS
(508) 765-9387
A Solitaire Card Game for PcBoard , GAP and other systems.
------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to Throw Out door. The game is fairly simple to play with
all instructions in the door itself. The game is quite simple in
playing. The play field is four cards. If the first and fouth card
are the same suit, both cards in between are thrown out. If the
first and fourth card are the same number, all four cards are thrown
out. If neither of the above is true, the first card is move to
the temp pile and a fourth card is put up. This goes on until all
cards in the deck are used. Removing all cards from the board and
the temp area earns a bonus of 100 points.
Scores are kept in a scores file in the registered version and the
scores are rolled over the first of every month. Scores are kept
throughtout the month on an accumulated basis (daily totals added
all month long). Last month high scorer kept in score file.
Added to version two is the ability to play days missed.
This door is written for BBSes that use 31-line DOOR.sys, PcBoard 11.8,
PcBoard 14.+, Wildcat, RBBS/QBBS dorinfo1.def.

All of these files should be in this ZIP, if they are not, don't
take a chance! Call The Parrot's Den and get a good copy or view the
file on a few local boards to see if you can find a complete copy.
BRUN45.EXE (patched for DTR) is needed somewhere in your path
for this program to run. If you don't have a copy, call my board
and download one.

setting up these files.
THROW OUT will update the scores on the first of the month.
It will keep track of the last months High Scorer, and reset the
score file when the first user of the new month enters the door.
Please read REGISTER.DOC for information on how you can register
your copy of THROW OUT.. The bulletin generator and the option to
view scores while playing are only available in the registered
