- The Delphi Oracle by Benjamin Kuo Silver Yucca Software
- documentation 3419 East 7590 South
- version 1.00 07/14/92 Salt Lake City, Utah 84121
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- INTRODUCTION:
- This is a simple game which allows users to ask any question, and
- receive any answer, from the Delphi Oracle. It's pretty much self-
- explanatory.
-
- One note: There are *NO* Macintosh based bulletin board systems in
- Utah, nor am I running a RRH, Second Sight, WWIV, or Mansion system
- myself (since with college I'm never in one place for longer than
- two months!). That means: I haven't been able to exhaustively test
- this (or any other) of my programs. Which means, if you run into
- problems, LET ME KNOW! and I'll try to fix them ASAP.
-
- If you want to set up a BBS in Utah, let me know :-)
-
- INSTALLATION:
- The steps to installation are simple. Follow the steps outlined below:
- • Using the New Folder menu choice in the Finder, or an equivalent,
- create a folder for the Delphi support files.
- • Copy the Delphi application to the same folder as your
- bulletin board.
- • In your host bbs application, set up a menu choice where you want
- to run an external application, in this case Delphi. In Red
- Ryder Host this is done with MenuEdit (for more in-detail help,
- please refer to your Host manual). In Mansion, this is done
- through the built-in menu editor. In the WWIV system, pressing
- the proper key while waiting for a call will bring you to the
- external application setup.
- • Run your bulletin board, and launch Delphi. This will allow
- you to enter the correct pathnames via a dialog box, as well as
- giving you the option of a log file or no log file (marking when
- people have entered or exited Delphi). Setup and running the
- application work ONLY if you launch from your bulletin board
- application, otherwise Delphi does not find the "Launch BBS"
- or corresponding file (depending on which bbs program you are
- using) that it requires to work correctly. If you need to re-
- configure the Delphi after moving your bbs application or
- the folders, you simply need to drag the "Delphi Options" file
- in your system folder to the trash.
- • Quit from Delphi, and your bulletin board will now be able to
- run the external door. OTHER INFO:
- If you are running under multifinder, select the "No Local Echo" in the
- sysop menus, and the window will not appear.
-
- BUG FIX AND ADDITION HISTORY:
- 1.00 07/14/92 Initial release.
-
- SHAREWARE FEES:
- As a reminder, THIS IS SHAREWARE. So, if you use this program, please
- remember: it costs money to buy compilers! :-) If just 10 of your users
- get a kick out of using Delphi, they can all pitch in $1 and you'll
- be registered!
