--LOCAL OPERATION--------------------------------------------------------
A feature included in all UltraSoft Action Doors is the /L (local) mode
of operation. We have found all too many Doors on the market must be
installed on a BBS System, before even realizing what they consist of.
We hope to influence other Door authors to do similar things to make
life easier for the (often overworked and usually underpaid) BBS Sysop.
As such, this program may easily be run locally, (completely independent
of a BBS System), by simply going into the directory where it is located
and typing the name of the Door followed by a space and the "/L" parameter.
-- INSTALLATION -----------------------------------------------------------
In this version of your UltraSoft Program, there is an INSTALL Utility
included, that will make the installation and configuration of this
program simpler that doing it manually. Some revision of Files may be
necessary after the install, depending on your set-up, but it will be
an excellent place to start. We recommend using INSTALL.EXE first, and
if there are any modifications necessary, perform them afterward. INSTALL
is included in this package. If for any reason INSTALL does not work well
on your system, then simply move the files to the assigned directory as
before, and follow by setting up the .CFG and .BAT files manually.
To run INSTALL, simply have your files on either a floppy disk or in a
work directory on your harddisk. IMPORTANT! They must be unarchived prior
to running INSTALL. So if your UltraSoft package is in .ZIP format, or
some other form of archive, decompress it first.
Move to where the files are: [CD \work1] or [A:] (for example) and type
INSTALL. Knowing in advance what your Directory Structure is going to be,
follow the instructions of the INSTALL program for a trouble-free install.
-- COMMENTS ----------------------------------------------------------------
If extra archives are contained herein, such as ARTWORK.ZIP, (a BBS Screen
Set Manager of large BBS screen Libraries), they are not necessary to setup
or run your UltraSoft Door. They are supplemental materials, each with
internal documentation of it's own. We suggest removing these to another
directory or floppy disk, de-archiving them and examining the contents there.
Hopefully you will find these additional materials and utilities very useful
for your BBS. Others are often available at the UltraSoft Support BBS..
-- EXTRA EXTRA! ------------------------------------------------------------
Additional supplemental files and utilities are included with the Registered
version of this Software. For one, DOORGRAF.ZIP is included in the Registered
package. This file is also not required to run the DOOR, but it is a very
popular, useful and graphically appealing Bulletin and NewsFile generator to
rate the various Doors on your system for activity. We trust your UltraSoft
game(s) will be among the top runners, as they are on many other BBS Systems.
Also included in the Registered package is a utility called WATCHER, which
keeps a running log of each caller who enters any DOOR by date and time, and
is also used by the DOORGRAF graph generator System..
Your DOORGRAF and WATCHER Documentation is included inside the archive.
Other Bonus-Ware Programs from UltraSoft are likely to be included in your
Registered Package, as our thanks to you for becoming our valued customer.
Thank you for choosing UltraSoft for your BBS needs.
