FOR QUICK & EASY INSTALLATION OF: PENTASIM
==========================================
-> Move the PENTVxx.EXE file into the directory you plan to run PENTASIM
from: ie. C:\DOORS\PENTASIM.
-> Since the PENTVxx.EXE archive automatically creates the needed
subdirectories, you should be in the directory that you want to run the
game from already!
-> Change to that directory and run the self-extracting executable. The
archive will then be uncompressed. Ensure ALL of the files have the AV
STAMP on them from Lounge Software. If not, you can call Zippy's Lounge
BBS at (403)475-8703 or if you are a member of FIDO, you can FREQ the
magic name PENTASIM at 1:342/1020 or you can get a new copy off of the
Lounge Software Web Page. See PENTASIM.DOC for the address.
-> Once you've ensured all of the files are original, type PENTCFG and choose
the Configure Nodes option. Configure the game for each of your nodes.
-> Create a .BAT file to run the door from your BBS. Included here is a
sample .BAT file to run PENTASIM on a WILDCAT system.
DOOR10.BAT
==========
CD\DOORS\PENTASIM <- Call to directory
PENTASIM NODEx.CFG <- Command line to start door
CD\WC40 <- Call back to BBS directory
If you are unsure about setting up a door with your particular BBS
software, please consult your BBS documentation.
-> Add a call to PMAINT.EXE in your nightly event file. PMAINT MUST be
run once a day in order for proper operation.
-> Log onto your BBS and play PENTASIM or try it locally by typing LOCAL in
your PENTASIM directory.
A directory called DOCS will be created off of your main PENTASIM
directory. Here you will find all of the documentation as well as the
registration form. Please read PENTASIM.DOC for FULL INSTALLATION
instructions and information!
You will also find SCRIPTS.DOC for information about writing your own
.SCR files for PENTASIM in the DOCS subdirectory.
Other subdirectories will also be created from the main archive. MAIL,
where all of the player mail and challenge files are kept, ANSI where all
of the screens are kept and SCRIPTS where all .SCR files are to be kept.
You will find some sample .SCR files in there to work from.
ENJOY! And don't forget to register!
