See History.txt
============================== INSTALLATION: ===============================
Installing SKY COP is fairly simple.
First:
Edit the SKYCOP.CFG file. A description of each line is included in
that file.
Next:
The command line for calling the game is
ATC.EXE <path and filename of your bbs drop file>
example: ATC c:\bbs\node1\door.sys
Fossil Driver Support:
SKY COP supports the use of Fossil drivers. The game will detect
the Fossil driver if installed.
NON-Standard Interupts:
To tell SKY COP that you are using a Non-Standard IRQ setting, add
/(x) to you command line, where x is the IRQ used.
example: ATC c:\bbs\node1\door.sys/5
This will tell the game to use IRQ 5. NOTE!!! No space is added between the
dropfile path and the IRQ switch...
SYSOP KEYS:
F1 - Returns the caller involuntarily to the BBS.
F2 - Hangs up on caller.
F10 - Activates CHAT mode.
ESC - Deactivates CHAT mode. DOOR is resumed.
PLAYING LOCALLY:
Just type ATC
========================== BENEFITS OF REGISTERING ==========================
The shareware version of SKY COP does not allow your users to use the
make-up missed plays feature. Other than that, the game is fully functional.
Also, there is no exit screen displayed in the registered version. Plus the
warm feeling you get when supporting the shareware concept.

and the new options in the new versions!
