THE HUNT
INSTALLATION INFORMATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Make a directory somewhere on your hard-drive called HUNT.
2. Unzip the HUNT100.ZIP archive into that directory.
HUNT.ZIP, SETUP.BAT, this and some other text files will appear.
3. In the HUNT directory and type: SETUP
Setup will make some subdirectories and put files into the right places.
4. Add The HUNT to your list of DOORS in your BBS.
There's really nothing special about installing The HUNT. After you
complete step 3 (above) by running "SETUP" in your HUNT directory, the
game is basically ready to go. SETUP unzips a file (HUNT.ZIP) creating all of
the subdirectories and putting the game support files into the right places.
Step 4 involves you setting up The HUNT as a door from your BBS.
Every BBS is different for setting up a DOOR. Look in your BBS documentation
for it's specifics.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
USER INFORMATION DROP FILE
The HUNT requires a user information drop file to run. Just about any kind
of BBS drop file can be used, including PCBoard 12.0 through 14.x, WILDCAT!
systems (all versions), GAP BBS, SPITFIRE BBS 3.0 and other systems using
standard DOOR.SYS file along with RBBS-PC, QuickBBS, Remote Access and other
systems using DORINFOx.DEF files. Really, the only drop files The HUNT will
not accept are WWIV CHAIN.TXT files.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMAND LINE USAGE
Example: HUNT DORINFO1.DEF
When running HUNT, you want your current directory to be the HUNT
directory, wherever you put it on your HD. HUNT requires only
only one parameter to be passed in, the user information file to use
(ie: DORINFO1.DEF). As an example, take a look at the following:
C:
CD \SBBS\HUNT
COPY C:\SBBS\DORINFO1.DEF
HUNT DORINFO1.DEF
DEL DORINFO1.DEF
CD \SBBS
This is essentially the list of commands being used to run The HUNT on
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BBS (a Super BBS). The DORINFO1.DEF command is
copied to the HUNT directory (the current directory). HUNT is then run
with DORINFO1.DEF being passed in as the user info file. When The HUNT is
finished, the DORINFO1.DEF file is deleted (not really necessary actually),
and the current directory goes back to the BBS directory.
