- MAKE 15 ! Files Included/Needed:
- ---------------------------------
- MAKE15.EXE <---------------- Make 15 program
- MAKE15.DOC <---------------- What You are reading now
- MAKE15.CFG <----------------- Configuration File
- REGISTER.DOC <--------------- Registration information
- MAKE15.BAT <---------------- Sample batch file
-
- MAKE15.DAT <---------------- Created at run time by the door
- for holding scores.
- (DELETE old file when installing
- a newer version of the door)
-
- All of these files should be in this ZIP, if they are not, don't
- take a chance! Call The Parrot's Den and get a good copy or view the
- file on a few local boards to see if you can find a complete copy.
-
- Door is now compiled using the Microsoft Professional Development
- System version 7.1 and EasyDoor Source Library. It needs no
- other files to run (except the config file and system file).
-
-
- You will also need to modify your doors menu files and the data
- level needed to access them. For GAP, these are respectively:
-
- DOORM DOORMG DOORS.DAT
-
- Please refer to your BBS documentation for details on setting up
- these files.
-
- At any time that you want to redo the scoring file, delete the
- Make15.dat file created by the door, and the door will reset all the
- scores to zero and start over. This is not necessary, as the door rolls
- over with the first caller on Sunday of each week, keeping the high
- score winner for the previous week played, and the all time high score
- and date it was scored.
-
- > Note : Version 6.20 of Make 15 cannot read older version's DAT files.
- > If upgrading from previous versions, the MAKE15.DAT created by those
- > programs have to be deleted before running the new version.
-
- Please read REGISTER.DOC for information on how you can register
- your copy of MAKE 15 ! . The bulletin generator and the option to
- view scores while playing are only available in the registered
- version of Make 15.
