PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The object of the game is to get a higher total card value than the
dealer without exceeding 21. Aces count 1 or 11 (your choice). Kings,
Queens and Jacks count 10. All other cards count at face value. You must
bet before the deal. Pressing "R" when ask for a bet after the initial
hand will repeat the last bet. entering a 0 as a bet will exit.
The dealer initally deals two cards to you and two to himself one
face down and one up. A count of 21 on the initial deal is "Black Jack".
If you have Black Jack (and the dealer dosen't), the dealer paysoff at
5 : 1 immediately. If you both have black jack, the hand is a "Push"
and your bet is returned.
If the dealer shows an Ace on the initial deal, you may buy "Insurance"
against the possibility that he has Black Jack. Insurance Cost one-half of
the amount of your Bet & pays twice the bet if the dealer has Black Jack.
After the initial deal you may ask for additional cards by asking for
a "Hit". You may ask for as many hits as you wish. However if you card
value goes over "21", you are "Bust" and the hand is over. If you do not
wish any additional hits, indicate "Stand". After you stand the dealer
plays. The dealer must draw on a total card value of 16 or less and must
stand if his card value is 17 or over.
If the dealer bust or the count in your hand exceeds the dealer's
card value you win and the dealer pays off one-for-one. If you both have
the same card value (PUSH) your bet is returned. Otherwise you lose.
If your initial 2 cards are a pair or both have a value of 10, you
may "Split" them into two hands. Your orginal bet will be placed on each
of the hands. Split hands are played one at a time. A two card value of
21 in a split hand is not Black Jack. Also, If you split a pair of Aces,
you will be dealt one and only one additional card for each hand.
If the initial value in you hand is 10 or 11, you may "Double" the
bet on the hand. If you double, the bet will be doubled and you will be
dealt one and only one additional card.
The game is over when you run out of money or turns or wish to quit.
Your Beginning Bankaccount balance is $10,000. You bankaccount will be
reset to this amount every Monday. All Time High Score and Top Ten
Bulletins are generated after every play.

CONFIGURATION: (Your BJ.CFG file)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vegas BlackJack supports the Following Door Data Types:
PCB -- PcBoard
GAP -- Gap (Door.sys)
SF -- SpitFire
RBBS -- RBBS
WC -- WildCat
TRIBBS -- Tribbs
WWIV -- WWIV
Example configuration file for PCBOARD.SYS
------------------------------------------
PCB <=- (Door Data File Type See Above)
C:\PCB\ <=- (Full pathname of your PCBOARD.SYS file)
The GATE <=- (Change this to your BBS name)
Dick Miller <=- (The Sysop's name)
38400 <=- (Locked Baud Rate or 0 for not Locked)
** Please see your individual door documentation on setting up doors!
Example Batch File
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A sample batch file similar to the following:
ECHO OFF
CD\DOORS\BJ <=- Switch to the door's Directory.
WRMBJ BJ.CFG <=- Execute the door program and pass the
configuration filename to the program.
CD\PCB <=- Go back to PCB DIR when user exits door.
BOARD <=- Restart BBS.
This Door is multi-node compatible so you may run more than 1 node by
making a copy of the .CFG file and changing the path back to your BBSes
Node.
Environment Variables
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PCBoard automatically creates the %PCBDRIVE% & %PCBDIR% environment
variables. Non-PCBoard systems may also use these variables by including
the following in either your BBS batch or AUTOEXEC.BAT
SET PCBDRIVE=C: <- Drive letter of your BBS files
SET PCBDIR=\BBSDIR <- Path to your BBS files
Then in your Door .CFG file instead of putting C:\BBSDIR\DOOR.SYS, you
would put %PCBDRIVE%%PCBDIR%\DOOR.SYS. This allows you to use just one
.CFG file for multi-node operation!
To specify a non-standard IRQ, put the IRQ number after the .CFG on the
command line. For example:
WRMBJ BJ.CFG 5
or using the PCBDRIVE procedure: SET IRQ=5 and use
WRMBJ BJ.CFG /%IRQ%
This tells the program to use IRQ 5 instead of the standard IRQ.
