Trivia MASTER! V4.0a
(C)opyright 1991 Marvin Davis
This game DIRECTLY supports the following:
============================================================================
RBBS v17.x, QuickBBS, RA, SuperBBS ;caller file = DORINFOx.DEF (x=1 to 9)
Wildcat V2.xx ;caller file = CALLINFO.BBS
WildCat V3.xx ;caller file = USERINFO.DAT or DOOR.SYS
; <Read WCPORTID.DOC file carefully!>
GAP BBS ;caller file = DOOR.SYS (a BBS standard)
GTPOWER ;caller file = GTUSER.BBS
PHOENIX ;caller file = INFO.BBS
PCBoard v14.x ;caller file = PCBoard.SYS
WWIV ;caller file = CHAIN.TXT
SpitFire BBS ;caller file = SFDOORS.DAT
OPUS boards can use DoorMaster or Dr.Link for conversions to run the game.
============================================================================
See the file REGISTER.FRM for information on registering this door!
Place ALL FILES that accompany this ZIP archive in the SAME DOOR# directory.
Everything that is needed to operate this game is in this ZIP archive. Do
not erase any files unless you are certain you know exactly what they are!
TRIVIA.EXE requires that you edit directly the ASCII file TRIVIA.CFG with
a ASCII editor -OR- you may run SETUP.EXE to set the game for your system.
You MUST know the proper name for your particular BBS's caller file, as it is
needed in the setup. Also PRINT OUT THE DOCUMENTATION and learn what command
line parameters you may need to configure the game with.
Multi-node BBS's are supported by an additional command line switch, see the
TRIVIA.DOC file for additional information!!
To print the documentation file from drive A: on a printer type:
A> TYPE TRIVIA.DOC > PRN <RETURN>
or
A> COPY TRIVIA.DOC PRN <RETURN>
To view to screen;
A> TYPE TRIVIA.DOC|MORE <piped through DOS's MORE filter>
If your BBS is NOT DIRECTLY SUPPORTED by a command line switch and you have
to use a conversion program to create/convert your particular BBS's caller
information file, I can add one if given the correct data. Please refer
to your BBS's documentation and document the CALLER INFORMATION FILE that
your BBS produces when exiting to a SHELL or EXTERNAL process. I need to
have the following data able to be read in from a ASCII file produced by
the BBS software you have.
(1) Callers First and Last Name
(2) COM PORT used (ie COM1: or COM2:)
(3) baud rate of caller (DCE)
(4) remaining time left in minutes
(5) status flag for ANSI color or MONOchrome graphics
Nearly ALL BBS's pkgs produce a caller info file when exiting to a door.
Completely document your particular file and I will create a command line
switch to call the game with for your BBS!
Try Super Rig!, Dark Castle, and Civil War games.
IF all else fails, read the documentation....
