Quickie SINBAUD Information......
Ok I know how it is (smile).....
You probably dont want to read anything and get on with the show! Well in the
hopes that you will atleast read this here is a quick start procedure for
SINBAUD!
Sinbaud requirements: * DOOR.SYS drop file (for bbs installations)
You may use the DORINFOx.DEF drop file if you
use the little converter called RA2DOOR included
in this package.... See RA2DOOR's docs for info.
* IBM PC/XT/AT compatable with ANSI.SYS installed
(ANSI.SYS - See your DOS Manual)
* Some cookies and milk and a big NERF BAT
---------------------------- IMPORTANT! -------------------------------------
<<<< You must have a copy of BRUN45.EXE Quick Basic's Run-time library >>>>
I have included this file in the sinbaud package. It is not neccessary
to include this file in the sinbaud game directory but must be made
available somewhere in your PATH statment. (See DOS docs re: path)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation Procedure:
1) Uncompress all files into the directory you intend to use
2) Run INSTALL.exe (Answer the questions)
3) To play locally type SINBAUD LOCAL
4) Thats it! For specific BBS installation just pass a DOOR.SYS
drop file to the game directory. Make this directory
current and execute the game via a batch file.....
For more info see the docs..... and have fun!

---=== Just a note about Registering Sinbaud! ===---
Well I didnt mention it but as a registered user of Sinbaud 1.0 and later
you shall receive the required key files for mega-level play. You will
receive the following support programs:
1) A handy player editor/manager
for adjusting a players attributes and locations
2) A Clue/Scroll Manager for writing your own scrolls
and clue messages!
3) A Clue/Scroll Compiler for linking the scrolls
4) Some notes from the programmer describing the
attributes of all the link files for creating your
own rooms and adventures
5) The original programmers MAP to the lands of CHARON!
(if you register by mail)
The Evaluation version of Sinbaud is functional and playable. There are a
few things to note however. Your Character cannot play forever and become
a super hero. Sinbaud will limit your player Level and limit your attributes.
But dont take this the wrong way.... the game has been played for months by
beta testers and they state the game play is adequate for most any user to
evaluate this door game. There are no TIME BOMBS and no bothersom MESSAGES.
There are no limits on the number of players and no functional restrictions.
Well enough said on this and hope you enjoy this game.
I think you will agree this is probably worth the registration fee not to
mention the good feeling you will get knowing you support shareware!
This is my 3rd door and learning more each time. These are the other doors
I have written:
1) ROBOWARS - Seek out and destroy the other robos
before they do the same to you! Enter
the galactic maze and go MAD!
ANSI/ASCII game (PCBoard).
Magic Filename: ROBWAR (144K)
or filename: ROBWAR12.ZIP
2) SUB ATTACK - Become a captain to a Los Angeles class
attack submarine. FULL GRAPHICS real-
time attacks. Upto 26 animated targets
at once. FULL ANSI SCREEN! Fuel depots
with 16 ansi maps of the worlds oceans.
Seek out and destroy IRAQ/Russians and
even Other Players! Give this a try and
I am sure you'll agree its a new
dimention for Door games. (DOOR.SYS)
Full LOCKED baud support....
Magic Filename: SUBATK (200K)
or filename: SUBATK25.ZIP
Thanks again and feel free to drop a line and say HI! :-)
