THE BRAINEX STAR TREK QUIZ
(C) Copyright 1992 by Stanley Sheff
Support BBS: The Brainex System

A Trivia Quiz for all Trekers
-----------------------------------
You get a point for each correct answer entered. The game ends
when a player misses a sysop determined amount of questions.
The Registered version includes a database editor for changing or
adding new questions. The limit of questions is only determined
by the available disk space! A database of 479 questions is
included.
NOTE: The unregistered version is limited to 25 questions, and no
question editor utility.

All of these files should be in this ZIP, if they are not, don't
take a chance! Call The Brainex System and get a good copy or view the
file on a few local boards to see if you can find a complete copy.
The setup of Star Trek Quiz is simple, all you need to do is type
SETUP at the dos command line. You may configure the number of
questions a player may get wrong before the game ends, and the
user level that may access the question editor (registered version).
Batch file command to run Star Trek Quiz:
STARTREK NODE=x
x=your bbs node number. You may leave out the NODE=option if running
a single node BBS.
The following sysop functions are available while awaiting
keyboard input :
F5 - Shell to DOS.
F8 - Twit user and return to BBS.
F10 - Initiate chat with user.
CF10 - Answer user page bell.
Home - Main user stats.
End - Displays sysop keys available.
PgDn - Secondary user stats.
Up Arrow - Increase user's time remaining by 5 minutes.
Dn Arrow - Decrease user's time remaining by 5 minutes.
One of the nicer features about using the TWIT key, is the user
is not told that "the sysop wants them to return to the BBS".
Instead, a very plain and simple message of "returning you to the
BBS" is displayed. This way, the user is given no indication
that the sysop is hovering about.
When using the F5 shell to DOS key, to return to the door
program, simply type EXIT at the DOS command prompt. It is not
necessary to change directories back to the door directory.
Star Trek Quiz is smart enough to know which drive and directory the
door program is in and will reset the defaults upon return from
DOS.
The Up and Down Arrow keys increase and decrease the user's time
respectively by 5 minutes for each press of the key. There is no
indication of what is occurring (except by the fact the user's
time remaining will change), so the sysop should try not to have
a lead finger. The increase or decrease is effective only while
the user is in Star Trek Quiz.
