-
- Installation:
-
- Installation is fairly easy and straight-forward. The following steps and
- examples should have you up and running in a very short period of time.
- It is assumed that you are familiar with setting up DOORS on your system.
- To this end, only examples of the configuration file and Door batch file
- (if required by your BBS software) are described.
-
- 1) Create a directory to hold all E-Z Bingo files. (If your also
- running E-Z Bingo, you may use the same directory for E-Z Bingo)
-
- 2) Un-archive the E-Z Bingo files into the E-Z Bingo directory.
-
- 3) Run EZBSETUP to create your configuration files.
-
- If you are running multiline, answer the second question with
- the node number that your setting up, if your running single
- line, answer it with 1.
- Be sure to answer ALL questions!
- Enter a "0" when asked for registration number if you have not
- yet registered.
- A file called EZBINGx.CTL will be created for each node.
- ^-node number
-
- Running E-Z Bingo:
-
- A sample batch file will be created for you, if you so choose.
-
- Here is a simple batchfile for running single node:
- c:
- cd \bbs\ezbing
- ezbing 1 <-- means to use EZBING1.CTL
- c:
- cd \bbs
-
- Here is a simple batchfile for running multi node:
- c:
- cd \bbs\ezbing
- ezbing %1 <-- the %1 needs to be passed by your BBS
- c: software as a command line variable.
- cd \bbs\node%1
-
-
- To run E-Z Bingo locally, cd to the EZBING dir and run EZBING with
- a /L. ie: EZBING /L You will be prompted for the name
- you wish to use.
-
-
- Multinode notes:
-
- E-Z Bingo is multinode aware. If another node tries to use the door while
- someone else is already in, they will be notified that the door is in use
- and by what node # and user name. E-Z Bingo will support up to 99 nodes.
-
- Registration benefits:
-
- First and foremost, knowing that you have supported the author so he can
- continue his work! Besides that, the nagging "Unregistered" message goes
- away and your users will then be shown that you support shareware! Once
- registered, you will be able to configure the starting number of turns.
- Turns default to 4 turns per day when unregistered.
-
- How to register:
-
- For a $10.00 donation sent to the address below, you will be given a
- registration number personalized just for you! If you have a valid
- FIDONET address, the registration number will be sent to you directly.
