║ ULTRA TRIVIA CHALLENGE║
╚═══════════════════════╝
ULTRA Trivia is a Program created to share
the enjoyment and Challenge of tough up-to-date
Trivia Amoung your users.
* Note: Supplied is a Small Database of Approximately
1500 Questions...The Database can be added to
within the Program.
This package should include the following files:
ULTRIV.TPG - the compiled token program
TRIV.DBF - the database needed to function
TRIVQUES.DBF - the database of questions
CHAT.DBF \
CHATNUM.DBF - InterChat Files
CHATWHO.DBF /
CHAT.NDX \
CHATNUM.NDX - InterChat Files
CHATWHO.NDX /
UTRIV.DOC - this file
INFO.TXT - text file Explaining Play and Rules (You must
edit this file for Number of play per day)
I would suggest that you place these files in a special
directory e.g. \UTRIV\. A suitable line in the menu calling
this program would be:
Entry:
<U>LTRA TRIVIA CHALLANGE
KEY=U TYPE=200 OPT DATA=D:\TDBS\UTRIV\ULTRIV/Q
Refer to the instructions for your TDBSOM option module
in order to correctly interface this program with your
system.
The .DBF and .NDX files are dBase III+ compatible. As
such you can delete records without altering the
structure. Always leave one record in each file,
to avoid a file search error.
SETUP
=====
Upon entering the game hit * for SYSOP Menu (PRIV 200 or Higher)
At this time you will notice the Normal List of Options Change to
SysOp Options. Each Described as follows. Each Option is Privilege
Level Controlled. So you may allow others to enter questions.
[S]etUp: Will first ask you to set the level for Daily Play Bypass. This
is recommended to be 253 for SysOp Only. If you wish to Allow your
[PRIV-254] Users to Play Unlimited times a day then set according to level
you wish...(i.e. 0=UNLIMITED ALL 50=Only Above PRIV Level 50)
The Next Question to answer is How many Wrong Answers before Game
is Over for the User.
I recommend you set it according to how tough you want the play to
be.. Set it for 10, Enter the Game play yourself and Judge from
there. I personally like 2 Wrongs and one play a day.
You will then be asked for the path to your InterChat files. Note
you must include the trailing backslash (i.e. d:\ICHAT\)
InterChat is Copyrighted and Written by Garry Grosse.
[R]eSet: This will Reset your Scores Files back to No Players. [PRIV-254]
[-]Rev: Displays one question Back (Note from start of File hit twice to
goto end of file) [PRIV-200]
[=]Fwd: Display one question Forward. [PRIV-200]
[A]dd: Add A question to the Database. [PRIV-200]
[D]el: Delete a Question from the Database (Note this is Not a true Delete
function, in order to truly delete the question from the database
You must use Dbase to Pack the TRIVQUES.DBF file.) [PRIV-200]
[M]ain: This will Redraw the Screen and Return You to the Main Menu. [PRIV-200]
[E]dit: This will allow you to edit the current question displayed.
(Please Note when you first enter the SYSOP Area the Question
displayed is the question you left the game in Not the Actual
Question the file is dealing with, hitting -/= will put you in
sync with the file) [PRIV-200]
Installing InterChat
Any number of InterChat equipped applications may share the same set
of InterChat support files. Users in each application will then be
able to communicate through their application's InterChat windows.
If you have one or more existing InterChat equipped applications and
you want to allow communication between users of those applications
and ULTRA Trivia, you can skip the installation of the InterChat support
files provided with ULTRA Trivia and simply set the InterChat path of
ULTRA Trivia to the directory of your existing InterChat support files.
However, if you wish to isolate the users of ULTRA Trivia from your
other InterChat equipped applications or, ULTRA Trivia is your first
InterChat equipped application, create a directory on a device with a
fast access time and copy the InterChat support files to that
directory. A subdirectory of [drive:]\ichat is recommended.
As an example:
cd c:\ichat
These files MUST exist for ULTRA Trivia to function. The
InterChat path of ULTRA Trivia MUST be set to the directory
containing them.
