*********** VIOLET's Cottage **********
REVISION, v4.0
by Trevor Herndon
An In Game Module for Legend of the Red Dragon, by Seth Able Robinson
Written in Borland Turbo Pascal 7.0
Compiled using DDPLUS Door Routines by Scott Baker
Copyright 1995, TSD Computing
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
0.5 Revision notes
Supposedly, this version works with ALL DORINFO.DEF problems that occured
in earlier versions. I would like everyone to know that I went to great
lengths to make this work correctly.
1.0 Introduction
Well, since everyone seems to be getting into the IGM thing, I thought I'd
do the same on my first door-type venture. I found ALOT of things in this
realm to be both difficult and interesting. However, the final product of
a project always seems to please me, so I will dwell no longer on the
creation of this monstrocity. One thing tho: Violet's Cottage is ALWAYS
being added to and updated. Along that prospect, registered users get free
updates since its a code based registration. I hope everyone enjoys this
IGM as much as I enjoyed writing it <or MAYBE a little bit more than that!>.
1.5 Afterword of Intro <G>
THANKS ALOT to Joseph Masters. He pointed out to STUPID me that Seth's
NODEx.DAT files were, in fact, .CTL files from the door routines. THANKS!
This made life IMMENSELY easier.
2.0 Installation
FILES INCLUDED WITH THIS PACKAGE (if some are missing, DON'T RUN IT!):
VIOLET.EXE - The Main executable for Violet's Cottage
CONFIG.EXE - The game configuration program
VIOLET.DOC - The file you're reading now
REGISTER.FRM - Your registration form
FILES CREATED BY VIOLET'S COTTAGE:
CHECK.DAT - File used for maintenance (DO NOT DELETE!)
Created in your LORD dir

First off, you'll need to do the following to setup your BBS:
Run "CONFIG.EXE" and fill in the appropriate information as follows:
STEP 1
────────────────────────────────────
Configure Violet's Cottage for your BBS with the "Configure" option on the
main menu of the CONFIG.EXE program.

input a path name!
Once finished configuring, select Install and you should be ready to go!
There you go! You are all ready to run Violet's Cottage.
[3.0] Credits
Thanks go out to Scott Baker and the people who reworked his door routines
into what is now DDPLUS 7.0. I LOVE how easy it makes programming, since I
get really tired of calling my BBS up to test my comm routines. Anywho, I
would also like to thank my family, who put up with me during my irritable
moods.
[4.0] Registration
Violet's Cottage is a mere $5 to register! That's right, just 5 bucks! Just
send me the cash, and from that day forward, you get free copies of all
updates (free if you're local, or have Internet access). Anyway, believe me,
it WILL be worth it soon. Right now, the door is in its infancy. I will be
making the cottage ENOURMOUS. SOOO much stuff to do that a user might not
be able to finish it before he/she kills the Red Dragon!
For information on where to send the registration fee, see "REGISTER.FRM".
Thanks for ALL the support.
LIMITED OFFER ON THIS VERSION ONLY:
People who register Violet's Cottage, and ONLY those people (i.e. those
of you who wait until I come out with a new version won't get this), will
get, FOR FREE, a preliminary copy of my new IGM, Castle of LORD, when I am
finished with it. Basically, you'll be an official beta site for the IGM!
Doesn't THAT sound exciting. Those who participate in the beta testing will
most likely end up with a free registered copy of Castle of LORD.
Send your money today!
