Overview:
* * * * * * * This Door Requires ANSI * * * * * * *
Cribbage Solitaire is a card game type door game. This door does not
contain any time limit except that of the user's existing time left
online. Although not written to operate on a multi-tasking environment,
it has been tested to do so without any known problems. This door will
support up to 50 users. It is also written to be able to use Com ports
and IRQ's not usually used. This door does NOT require any daily
maintenance. This door code is written using Quick Basic and DoorFrame
runtime library.
Configuration file setup:
Example Batch File
------------------
A sample batch file is included and is similar to the following:
ECHO OFF
CD\DOORS\SS <=- Switch to the door's Directory.
CRS CRS.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.

Example of the .KEY file
------------------------
00000 <=- (Your BBS Registration Number)
William Rountree <=- (Sponsor of Door)
5 <=- (Number of games allowed each day)
NOTE: At present it is unclear which BBS systems read their BBS drop files
back in and make updates to the system files upon termination of a door.
If your BBS performs this function then your files will be updated,
otherwise nothing will change and the updates will have to be performed
manually. It is left to the individual Sysop to know if his BBS
software does indeed perform the updates or not.
DoorFrame requires DOS 3.x and up since all files are opened in SHARED
mode.
When using PCBOARD.SYS, DoorFrame also accesses the USERS file.
When using USERS.SYS, DoorFrame also accesses PCBOARD.SYS, PCBOARD.DAT
and the USERS file.
The DOOR.SYS used by DoorFrame is the standard 52 line GAP (tm) file.
The CALLINFO.BBS used by DoorFrame currently contains 36 lines.
If ANY Basic error is encountered, it will branch to ERR.ROUTINE and
call the ERRORS subroutine. The error will be printed to the screen and
written to DFRAME.ERR. Your Door will then exit back to the BBS.
Fossil Driver Support
---------------------
- Automatic:
BNU: Yes
XOO: Yes
Environment Variables:
Cribbage Solitaire supports COM 1-4 on the standard IRQ's - COM1/COM3 = IRQ4
and COM2/COM4 = IRQ3. If you wish to use a non-standard IRQ, add the IRQ
number after the configuration filename.
CRS CRS.CFG /5 OR
CRS CRS.CFG /%IRQ% for the environment variable.
The /5 tells Cribbage Solitaire to use IRQ5 rather than the standard IRQ4
that is normally used with COM1. No /x parameter is needed for the standard
IRQ's.
When specifying the location of the system file on line 1 of the doors .CFG
file, you may use the environment variables %pcbdrive%, %pcbdir%, %pcbnode%,
and %wcnodeid%. Some examples:
PCBoard:
USERS.SYS in C:\PCB - %pcbdrive%%pcbdir%\USERS.SYS
USERS.SYS in C:\PCB\NODE1 - %pcbdrive%%pcbdir%\NODE%pcbnode%\USERS.SYS
Wildcat!:
USERINFO.DAT in C:\WC\NODE1 - C:\WC\NODE%wcnodeid%
Non-PCBoard systems may use the PCB environment variables by setting them
in either AUTOEXEC.BAT or in the batch that runs the door. For example:
SET PCBDRIVE=C:
SET PCBDIR=\BBSDIR
SET PCBNODE=1
Daily Maintenance:
No modification of your daily maintenance is required since Cribbage
Solitaire performs it's Daily Maintenance on the first caller that day.
This maintenance is very short and should not delay the play by that call
very much.
Limitations:
This door will continue to operate in it's original condition until
it is registered.
1: A 5 second delay and message will be displayed upon it start and
exit.
2: Each player is limited to 1 game a day until registered.
3: A player cannot play ahead, or make up lost days until registered.
These limitations will be removed upon it's registration.
