║█▓▒░ INTRODUCTION ░▒▓█║
╚══════════════════════╝
L.O.R.D. User Access Utility, (LUAU) is a utility that works in
conjunction with Legend Of The Red Dragon (L.O.R.D.)
LUAU limits the play of non-subscribing users of the BBS to the
UNREGISTERED version. Subscribing members of the BBS will have
full access to the REGISTERED version.
╔══════════════════════╗
║█▓▒░ REQUIREMENTS ░▒▓█║
╚══════════════════════╝
At this point in time the only requirements are FILES=10 (or more) in
your config.sys file and ANSI.SYS. SHARE must also be loaded IF you
intend to use the game in a multi-node environment OR under DesqView.
Automatic time slicing support is provided to most common multi-taskers
as well.
Supports dropfile types:
CHAIN.TXT DORINFOx.DEF
DOOR.SYS SFDOORS.DAT
DORINFO1.DEF TRIBBS.SYS
╔════════════════════════╗
║█▓▒░ FILES INCLUDED ░▒▓█║
╚════════════════════════╝
LUAU.ANX Sample ANSI screen (see ANSI SCREEN information below)
LUAU.BUG LUAU bug report
LUAU.CTL File that holds the HIGHEST NON-SUBSCRIBERS Security Level.
LUAU.DOC LUAU Sysops Doc
LUAU.EXE LUAU Executable
LUAU.REG LUAU Registration Form
LUAU.DAT Registration information will be created when registered.
╔══════════════════════╗
║█▓▒░ INSTALLATION ░▒▓█║
╚══════════════════════╝
1. Unzip LUAU.ZIP and place LUAU.EXE and LUAU.CTL in your LORD directory.
2. Edit LORD's START.BAT file.
After the command of CD to LORD DIRECTORY, put
LUAU %1
3. Edit the file LUAU.CTL. Enter the value of the HIGHEST NON-SUBSCRIBER
security level.
NOTE: You may put any security level number that you want to limit
what ever users you would like. Any security level equal to or
below the value you put in LUAU.CTL will not be allowed to
play the registered version. Users security level above this
value will be allowed to play the registered version.
╔═════════════════════╗
║█▓▒░ ANSI SCREEN ░▒▓█║
╚═════════════════════╝
NOTE: I do not use an ANSI screen to display this screen. The display
is internal to the program. The below is just an example that
duplicates the internal screen. The LUAU.ANX is just a sample
to assist you in your endeavors.
LUAU displays the following screen by default:
YOUR BBS NAME
LUAU has determined that you have not subscribed to this BBS.
Play of L.O.R.D. will be limited to the UNREGISTERED version.
If you wish to play the REGISTERED version here, please make
a donation or subscribe to this BBS.
Thank You!
<MORE>
LUAU (c) 1996 John A. Tucker
If you wish to make your own ANSI screen to replace this screen,
create an Ansi screen called LUAU.ANS or edit LUAU.ANX and rename
to LUAU.ANS with the following restrictions.
1. ANSI screen must display no more than 20 lines.
2. ANSI file has no more than 40 lines of code.
3. ANSI coding must be flush to the left.
4. ANSI screen must not exceed 79 characters per line.
5. No clear screen coding is needed.
6. Do not include the <MORE> or copywrite lines.
7. Do not include the D coding at the end of the last line.
Use your favorite ANSI program. I always edit my ANSI screens because
there is always exteraneous coding. LUAU.ANX is an example for optimum
performance of your ANSI screen. Use your favorite editor to view the
contents of LUAU.ANX to see the coding.
