=========================== GAME DESCRIPTION: ==============================
Word Warp is a word game in which you must create 25 words from another
eight letter word. The game play is time limited, so you must work fast!
Word Warp is InterBBS capable. See WARPIBBS.DOC
============================ UPGRADE INFO: =================================
See History.txt for details on version changes.
============================== INSTALLATION: ===============================
Installing Word Warp is fairly simple.
First:
Edit the WWARP.CFG file. A description of each line is included in
that file.
Next:
The command line for calling the game is
WWARP.EXE <path and filename of your bbs drop file>
example: WWARP c:\bbs\node1\door.sys
Fossil Driver Support:
Word Warp supports the use of Fossil drivers. The game should detect
most standard Fossil drivers if installed.
NON-Standard Interupts:
To tell Word Warp that you are using a Non-Standard IRQ setting, add
/(x) to you command line, where x is the IRQ used.
example: WWARP 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 WWARP.EXE Word Warp can be played on your home computer
without a bbs.
========================== BENEFITS OF REGISTERING ==========================
The shareware version of Word Warp does not allow your users to use the
make-up missed plays or play ahead turns features. Also, sysop defined
bulletins are not created in the unregistered version. Other than that, the
game is fully functional. Also, there is no exit screen displayed in the
registered version. Plus the warm fuzzy feeling you get when supporting the
shareware concept.
============================ VERSION HISTORY: ===============================
See the HISTORY.TXT file for information on the history of the game
and the new options in the new versions!
============================= KNOWN PROBLEMS: ==============================
Word Warps Auto-Fossil detection sometimes will not detect the fossil
for some serial cards. I am working to correct this now.
