-
- - general info
- This program directly accesses the com port and uses ANSI escape
- sequences to update the user's screen. This is the fastest and most
- complete BBS version. It will run on all BBS systems that I've tried
- The default version does not check the player time, or get the player
- name from the BBS. Recommendend time allowed is from 20 to 30 minutes.
- For proper installation check BBSINFO.DOC and BBSNOTES.DOC.
-
- - STOCKS.INS and STOCKS.PRO
- This file needs to be placed in the same directory as STOCKS.EXE
-
-
- - BBS Info -> Regisration and Trial Run -
-
- You may try before you buy. Please limit your trial period to
- a maximum of two months. This game will not self-destruct, and
- I won't send the mafia after you, but we are all in this together.
- Regisration costs $10. For that price you will get your own
- personalized version of the game featuring your registration number
- and BBS info. You will also recieve trial versions of all other
- games currently available. See REGISTER.DOC for the registration.
-
-
- - Get to the point -> The game explained -
-
- Detailed instruction are found by playing the game. Basically,
- you are given $10,000, and you have 10 years to invest your money.
- The computer is playing the market as well, and your final score is
- based on how much money you make versus what the computer makes.
-
-
- - Hall of Fames -
-
- The game creates two Hall of Fame files:
- BBSE.HOF
- This contains the Hall of Fame. If you get tired of it, just
- delete it and start over. The Hall of Fame contains 24 entries,
- the all-time high, last month's 3 best, and this month's top 20.
- This is NOT a text file.
- BBSEHOF.Txt (default - can be changed - see command line directive /Y)
- This file contains the all time high, last months three best, and
- the current top ten scores. It is formatted for a one screen
- display. Excellent for bulletins, etc...
