BUZZ QUICK START
================
Play with me!
------------
Extract the distribution archive (obviously you've done this already). To
test the program, type:
BUZZ LOCAL
Start and play a game. Start the sysop chat mode. Read the online game
instructions. If you think BUZZ 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 BUZZ for your BBS!
---------------------------------------------------
Move the BUZZ.EXE and BUZZ.HOF files to a convenient directory on your hard
drive, along with the BUZZ1.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 BUZZ1.CFG.
Change these parameters to match the directory names as needed for node #1
of your BBS.
For additional nodes, copy BUZZ1.CFG to BUZZ2.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\BUZZ.EXE c:\path\to\config\file\BUZZ?.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 BUZZ 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 information and forms are in the BUZZ10.DOC file.
Even in you don't register, THANK YOU FOR TRYING BUZZ!!!
