BCHECKERS QUICK START
=====================
Play with me!
------------
Extract the distribution archive (obviously you've done this already). To
test the program, type:
BCHECK LOCAL
Play the game awhile. Start a game and make a move, or use command #5
and play a full game "against yourself." Start the full-screen chat mode.
Read the online game instructions. You won't be able to get the full
effect of BCheckers by yourself -- but if you think BCheckers is worthy of
putting on your BBS to try it out, come back to this file and read on.
Back so soon? Good! Let's set up BCheckers for your BBS!
-------------------------------------------------------
Move the BCHECK.EXE, BCHECK.BBS and BCHECK.HOF files to a convenient
directory on your hard drive, along with the BCHECK1.CFG file. Edit this
config file using any text editor. Odds are good you'll only have to mess
with the first two parameters -- BBSDir and DoorDir -- these are fully
explained in BCHECK1.CFG. Change these parameters to match the directory
names as needed for node #1 of your BBS.
For additional nodes, copy BCHECK1.CFG to BCHECK2.CFG (or whatever number
your other nodes are) and repeat. Now, set up a menu item in your BBS
software to call the program as follows:
c:\path\to\exe\file\BCHECK.EXE c:\path\to\config\file\BCHECK?.CFG
Where ? is the node number. Most BBS software supply a "metacharacter" to
put on the command line to make this easier. If yours does not, you may
have to make batch files -- just do what you need to do to call the
program with the appropriate config file name for this node as the second
parameter on the command line. If you're running multi-node, make sure you
have SHARE.EXE (or the equivalent) loaded into memory. You're done!
Come back to this file when you have run the game for maybe 30-60 days.
Welcome Back!

Well, you've played with BCheckers this long, right? I'd very much
appreciate it if you would register me now. The author has worked long
and hard making me. Although he enjoyed doing so, ol' Bruce needs the
money! Registration is only $12 -- information and forms are in the
BCHECK14.DOC file.
Even in you don't register, THANK YOU FOR TRYING BCHECKERS!!!
