TOWERS OF HANOI -- Version 1.0 -- is released!
=============================================
Towers of Hanoi is based on an old oriental puzzle. The object of the game
is to move a stack of disks of different sizes from one post to another,
one at a time, without ever putting a larger disk on top of a smaller one.
It sounds simple, but the task is a lot harder than you might think! To do
well, you will need a quick analytical mind and some manual dexterity.
Additional disks increase the difficulty significantly. The door includes
an online Hall of Fame to store the best times!
At only $8 registration, this door is a bargain.
Towers of Hanoi offers the following sysop features (and more I've probably
overlooked in these docs):
- As you would expect, Towers of Hanoi monitors carrier detect functions,
to automatically recover when a user drops carrier.
- Includes a fully-adjustable inactivity timeout monitor. A warning is
sent 5 seconds before the caller is ejected.
- Share-aware file i/o for use in multi-node BBS systems. You must have
DOS's SHARE.EXE loaded for multi-node use.
- Supports most popular BBS door information files, such as DORINFO1.DEF,
EXITINFO.BBS, CHAIN.TXT, DOOR.SYS, etc.
- Displays and updates a QuickBBS-style status line, with information
available to the sysop such as user name, location, baud rate, time left,
function keys, ANSI and AVATAR settings, and so on.
- Keeps track of a user "wants-chat" indicator, just like the one in
RemoteAccess, QuickBBS and other BBS systems. Allows for sysop page from
the door, and integrated chat mode.
- Provides the sysop with all the standard function keys for adjusting user
time, hanging up on or even locking out the user -- and sysop shell to DOS.
- Full support for locked baud-rates of up to 115200 baud, using the FOSSIL
driver for maximum compatibility with any system. If a FOSSIL is not
available, Tower of Hanoi will use its own communications routines. Auto-
detect of local operation.
- Towers of Hanoi is also DesqView and Windows aware.
- Supports non-standard comm ports!
- Free upgrades!
- CONFIGURATION FILE SYSTEM makes it easier to set up and run!
- LOCAL MODE for testing!
- Sysop CHAT and paging!
- Status-line MULTIPLE PERSONALITY SYSTEM. TOWERS OF HANOI status line
mimics that of your favorite BBS!
- SESSION LOGGING capability.
- Set DIFFERENT PAGING HOURS for each day of the week!
- Configurable PAGE DURATION, TRANSMIT/RECEIVE BUFFER sizes, FIFO BUFFER
trigger.
- Supports CUSTOM DROP FILE FORMATS!
