[ IF YOU FACE LOCKUP PROBLEMS AND CANNOT GET INTO THE GAME ON REMOTE END ]
if that happens to you, then you need to use the port option with an F;
in the format:
exitilus PORT:F:P
where P is your com port;
for example if you are running on com port 2 your command line
should be:
exitilus PORT:F:2
* NOTE to NON-Standard Irq and com ports *
please run exitilus with a port option:
example:
exitilus port:34f4:7
that tells exitlius to use irq 7, port 34f4
the format for nonstandard ports on exitilus is:
exitilus port:aaaa:x
where aaaa = hex address
where x = irq number (1-15 decimal)
* new feature
is the exedit.exe file - the player editor.

INTRODUCTION:
------------
Exitilus is a fantasy door game involving monster fights, player
kills, merchants, quests, and finally kingdoms and conquest...
The game requires much user interaction and can be very entertaining
and fun.
It contains hundreds of monsters, hundreds of items, and many spells.
This door was written by an avid door Player who enjoyed Usurper,
LORD, and many other fantasy door games. And now would like to
contribute his part to the fantasy part of BBS's....
REQUIREMENTS:
------------
Nothing really, just some devoted door gamers....
(the game uses less than 80k conventional memory and no
extended or expanded memory..)
Installation
------------
1. Create a directory for the EXITILUS:
example: "WC30\DOORS\EXITILUS"
2. Make sure that ALL files from 'MAIN.ZIP'
are put into that directory.
Type "setup.exe <enter>" to run the setup. The first time
it will lead you thru all the required information and paths.
If anything you configured is wrong (NOTE: the setup does
not check if paths are actually there!) you may run setup
again...
To enter registeration code simply run it again and enter
the option to enter registration codes..
*3. *WARNING*: the game does NOT support multinode yet.. so you
will have to go thru the trouble of automatically locking
other nodes out while one node is in play...
7. In order to run the game maintenance program online the following
parameter may be used.
"/M" This forces Exitilus to run maintenance...
example: Exitilus /m
8. Install the door into your BBS software (see your BBS
software documentation for more information). A batch file is
normally used to do this. To run the program just have your
batch file run Exitilus.exe.
Note: try not to copy the drop file to the Exitilus directory.
if you have multinode, create a temp directory for drop
files and copy the dropfiles there. And specify that
temp directory as the dropfile path.
RESTRICTIONS ON THE UNREGISTERED GAME
-------------------------------------
Until the game is registered the following restrictions are
in effect:
Exitilus allows 15 days of normal play, with all option
available. (remember Registraion expires in 30 days not 15)
After that trial period, a few minor details will become
unavailable. Such as depository, high level monsters,
and quests....
WHAT TO DO IF THERE ARE PROBLEMS
--------------------------------
Every effort is made to ensure that the game runs correctly
before it leaves my BBS as Shareware. If you are experiencing
problems please do the following BEFORE calling me:
1. Read ALL the SYSOP.DOC to ensure you have setup the program
and have met all the program requirements.
2. Use the B4UASK.DOC as a checklist to ensure that you have
not done anything wrong.
"Corrupted" data files
----------------------
It is possible that something could happen to your game
data file. A power outage, game crash, or other event could
damage the data files. If you get one of these messages,
then the best thing to do is run the SETUP.EXE program to
reset the game.
