PROBLEMS (Q) AND ANSWERS (A) FOR AC6!
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Q. I get an error message about running SRDOOR!
A. Run ACINSTAL to install the correct BBS type for your system.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Q. I can't figure out what to put in my batch file to run AC6.
A. Run ACINSTAL to set up a batch file automatically.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Q. I don't know how to set up my BBS software to run AC6.
A. Consult your BBS manual for more information. Look for information
on running DOORS. You also need to produce a DOOR FILE when running
AC6. Select a door file format that is compatible with the options
listed in ACINSTAL.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Q. I have Telegard and I don't know how to set it up to run AC6.
A. Set up the option for "Command Execution Keys" to "DG" and
the MString to "AC6.BAT". Then create an AC6.BAT with SRINSTAL's
Set up batch file option.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Q. I'm running TAG.
A. Switch to Telegard.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Q. I have TAG and I don't know how to set it up to run AC6.
A. Set up the option for "PKey" to "=" and the "PData" to "AC6.BAT".
Then create an AC6.BAT with ACINSTAL's Set up batch file option.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Q. I have Spitfire and I don't know how to set it up to run AC6.
A. You need to set up a door in the batch file (SF.BAT). What you
can do is run ACINSTAL and create AC6.BAT, then insert AC6.BAT
into SF.BAT in the appropriate place. The SF.BAT file has comments
indicating where to insert commands for each door. Also, you need
to edit your SFDOR.MNU to add an entry for AC6. If you have not
done this before, consult your BBS documentation (SPITFIRE.DOC) for
detailed step-by-step instructions.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Q. I get snow on my CGA monitor.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Q. I am using DesqView and running AC6 produces trash on my screen.
A. (See above)

Q. My modem buffer causes the pauses and Yes/No prompts to be
extremely slow on the remote side.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Q. I keep getting Errors when running AC6. It says "DataFile
missing"
A. Run ACUTILS and Reset your game.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Q. I want a separate file to contain the scores.
A. AC6 automatically creates ACSCORES.ANS (ANSI file) and
ACSCORES.MSG (non-ANSI file) when it runs. You can modify
the batch file to copy these files to your BBS's bulletins
or any other place you may need the files.

(A handle is not a legal recepient of registration benefits.)
Sorry!

junk-mail list. Our list is used ONLY for notifying registered
users of updates and/or bulletins.

70 years! And besides... AC6 was written partially on a 4.77 mhz
CGA computer!
