- PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
- ====================
-
- LEMONADE is a fairly simple game. Your mother has given you $1.00 to get
- your lemonade stand started. The object of the game is to sell as many
- glasses of lemonade as possible in a set number of days.
-
- After the user hits the 'N' key (or clicks on the NEXT DAY BUTTON) he will
- be shown today's weather forecast. He will then be prompted to enter how
- many glasses he wants to make followed by how much to charge per glass.
-
- The weather and temperature have a direct bearing on how many glasses will
- be sold. If it rains, none will be sold.
-
- This door uses all RIP screens! Not converted ANSI screens! As such,
- your users must have a RIPable communications program such as RIPTerm
- (v1.54 preferably) or QModem Pro (v1.5x). It supports mouse of
- keyboard entry of data and also makes a RIP bulletin!
-
-
- NOTE:
- =====
-
- Until registered, the user will be limited to FOUR game days and ONE
- play per day. Once registered, you will receive a LEMRIP.KEY file.
- Place the key file in your LEMRIP directory and it will now run in a
- registered state.
-
-
- FEATURES:
- =========
- --- Desqview Aware.
- --- COM1-15 support and non-standard IRQ's.
- --- Colorful RIP screens.
- --- NO BRUN module needed for play.
- --- Will return to BBS on dropped carrier.
- --- Will TIMEOUT a player after 5 minutes of no activity.
- --- Use of HOT KEYS while in the door.
- --- Support BBS available.
- --- Easily RESET the entire program.
- --- Will run on ANY BBS that supports DOORS - User
- must have a RIP capable communications program such
- as RIPTerm or QModem Pro v1.5+
-
-
- INSTALLATION:

-
- Example Batch File
- ==================
-
- A sample batch file is included and is similer to the following:
- ECHO OFF
- CD\DOORS\LEMON <=- Switch to the door's
- Directory.
- LEMRIP LEMRIP.CFG <=- Execute the door program
- and pass the configuration
- filename to the program.
- COPY LEMBULL.RIP C:\PCB\BULL\BULL1.RIP <=- Copy the RIP bulletin
- to your bulletin
- directory.
- CD\PCB <=- Go back to PCB DIR when
- user exits door.
- BOARD <=- Restart BBS.
-
- Door batch files may differ depending on your BBS package. Please
- consult your BBS manual/docs for properly making your door batch
- files.
-
- This Door is multi-node compatible so you may run more than 1 node from
- the same .CFG file provided the path to your system file (DORINFOx.DEF,
- CALLINFO.BBS, etc) is exactly the same unless you are using environment
- variables, (q.v.)
-
- Environment Variables
- =====================
-
- PCBoard automatically creates the %PCBDRIVE% & %PCBDIR% environment
- variables. Non-PCBoard systems may also use these variables by including
- the following in either your BBS batch or AUTOEXEC.BAT
- SET PCBDRIVE=C: <- Drive letter of your BBS files
- SET PCBDIR=\BBSDIR <- Path to your BBS files
- Then in your Door .CFG file instead of putting C:\BBSDIR\DOOR.SYS, you
- would put %PCBDRIVE%%PCBDIR%\DOOR.SYS. This allows you to use just one
- .CFG file for multi-node operation!
-
- To specify a non-standard IRQ, put the IRQ number after the .CFG on the
- command line. For example:
-
- LEMRIP LEMRIP.CFG /5
- or using the PCBDRIVE procedure: SET IRQ=5 and use
- LEMRIP LEMRIP.CFG /%IRQ%
-
- This tells the program to use IRQ 5 instead of the standard IRQ.
-
- Had reports of conflicts when using non-standard IRQ's on Novell/Netware
- systems. Seems Novell also uses the / character so something went screwy
- somewhere. So I added the * (asterisk) which may be used instead of the /
- in case of a conflict. In other words, /%IRQ% and *%IRQ% will both work
- and are interchangeable.
-
- When specifying the location of the system file on line 1 of the doors .CFG
- file, you may use the environment variables %pcbdrive%, %pcbdir%, %pcbnode%,
- and %wcnodeid%. Some examples:
- PCBoard:
- USERS.SYS in C:\PCB - %pcbdrive%%pcbdir%\USERS.SYS
- USERS.SYS in C:\PCB\NODE1 - %pcbdrive%%pcbdir%\NODE%pcbnode%\USERS.SYS
-
- Wildcat!:
- USERINFO.DAT in C:\WC\NODE1 - C:\WC\NODE%wcnodeid%
-
- Non-PCBoard systems may use the PCB environment variables by setting them
- in either AUTOEXEC.BAT or in the batch that runs the door. For example:
- SET PCBDRIVE=C:
- SET PCBDIR=\BBSDIR
- SET PCBNODE=1
-
- Fossil Driver Support
- ---------------------
- DoorFrame supports the use of Fossil drivers. To tell your Door to use the
- Fossil driver instead of the standard COM ports, just put /FD on the command
- line when running the door. For example:
- MYDOOR MYDOOR.CFG /FD
- indicates that a Fossil driver is present and should be used. If no Fossil
- driver is detected, DoorFrame will print a message to that effect and exit
- the door gracefully.
-
- Sysop Keys
- ==========
-
- F3 - Toggles the printer On/Off. Value is passed to PCBoard and/or
- written to DOOR.SYS and USERS.SYS

- F9 - Toggles the local display On/Off. Value is passed to PCBoard
- and/or written to DOOR.SYS and USERS.SYS
- F10 - Activates SysOp CHAT mode within the DOOR.

- UP - Give the caller extra time while in the DOOR.
- DN - Subtract time from the caller while in the DOOR.
- HOME - HELP key for Status Line options.
- ALT-N - SysOp next on toggle. Value passed to PCBoard. (PCBoard only)
- ALT-X - PCBoard will exit after current caller logs off. Value is
- passed to PCBoard. Not available on non-PCBoard systems.
-
- Your SYSOP.CFG file should contain ALL the items listed below. You can use
- your text editor to edit the provided file.
-
- 30
- 3
-
- LINE 1: Number of game days

-
- COMPATIBILITY WITH LEMONADE v3.5
- ================================
-
- Lemonade RIP was written to be compatible and share the same directory
- as the ANSI version of Lemonade (v3.5 and higher). Simply copy all the
- file except PLAYERS.DAT, MAINT.DAT, and LEMHIGH.DAT into the ANSI
- version of lemonade directory. Data file will then be shared depending
- upon the player picking the ANSI or RIP version (from the doors menu).
-
-
- LOCAL PLAY:
- ==========
-
- This door cannot be run locally!
-
-
- MAINTENANCE!:
- ============
-
- None required. The door will reset the scores every month.
