(C)opyright 1989-91 Marvin Davis
This game DIRECTLY supports the following BBS programs:
============================================================================
RBBS v17.x/QuickBBS/SuperBBS/RA ;caller file = DORINFOx.DEF (x=1-9)
WILDCAT v2.xx ;caller file = CALLINFO.BBS
WILDCAT v3.x ;caller file = USERINFO.DAT or DOOR.SYS
see also WCPORTID.DOC!
GAP ;caller file = DOOR.SYS (a standard)

============================================================================
Registration information is available in the file REGISTER.FRM
Place ALL FILES that accompany this ZIP in the same DOS or DOOR# directory.
Everything that you need to operate this software game IS included in this
ZIP archive. Do not erase any files unless you are certain you know exactly
what they are!
CIVILWAR.EXE requires that you edit directly the ASCII file CIVILWAR.CFG with
an ASCII editor -OR- you may run the SETUP.EXE to set game up for your BBS.
You MUST know the proper name for your particular BBS's caller file, as it
is needed in the SETUP. Also <PRINT OUT THE DOCUMENTATION> and learn what
valid command line parameters you can use in calling the game.
To print the documentation file from drive A: on a printer type:
A>TYPE CIVILWAR.DOC > PRN <RETURN>
or
A>COPY CIVILWAR.DOC PRN <RETURN>
To view to screen: A> TYPE CIVILWAR.DOC (use CTRL-S, CTRL-Q to stop/start)
If your BBS is NOT DIRECTLY SUPPORTED by command line switch and you have
to use a conversion program to create/convert your particular BBS's caller
information file, I can add one if given the correct data. Please refer
to your BBS's documentation and document the CALLER INFORMATION FILE that
your BBS produces when exiting to a SHELL or EXTERNAL process. I need to
have the following data able to be read in from a standard ASCII file
produced by the BBS software you have.
(1) Callers First and Last Name
(2) PORT used (ie COM1: or COM2:)
(3) baud rate of caller (DCE)
(4) remaining time left in minutes
(5) flag for ANSI color or MONOchrome graphics
Nearly ALL BBS's pkgs produce a caller info file when exiting to a door.
Completely document your particular file and I will create a command line
switch to call the game with for your BBS!
Thank you for trying Civil War! I hope you enjoy it!
IF all else fails, read the documentation!
