- THE PIT 2.00
-
- EGA INTERFACE INSTALLATION
-
- This document gives step by step instructions for using
- the EGA Interface with QModem, Telix, and Procomm. If your
- communications program is not similar to one of these, call
- our Customer Service Line at:
-
- MTS Customer Service

- The future of this product depends heavily upon users supporting it. And I
- will not waste alot of your time repeating what you have probably already read
- about a BILLION times! Just do the BBS world a favor and register this
- interface. We want to write more and make better games. But if no support is
- shown for our work then we will drop out of the BIZ and do something that pays
- better. (Would you do any different if you had mouths to feed?)
-
- Unpacking the Interface
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- 1. Go into the directory where you keep your
- communications program.
-
- 2. Make a subdirectory called EGAPIT.
-
- Type: md egapit
-
- 3. Change into the EGAPIT directory. Do NOT leave this
- directory during the installation process.
-
- Type cd egapit
-
- 4. Copy all of the files from your interface disks into
- this directory. Be sure to specify the proper drive to
- copy from.
-
- Type: copy A:*.*
-
- 5. UnARJ the game files into the EGAPIT directory.
-
- Type: UNARJ egapitd1.arj
- UNARJ egapitd2.arj or ARJ x *.arj
- UNARJ egapitd3.arj

- Qmodem
- ~~~~~~
-
- 7. Copy the file EGAPIT.BAT to your communications
- directory.
-
- Type: copy EGAPIT.BAT C:\QMODEM
-
- 8. Load up Qmodem.
-
- 9. Go to your configuration options.
-
- Type: Alt-N
-
- 10. Select the Protocol option.
-
- 11. The EGA Pit loads itself like an external protocol.
- Create a new protocol called EGAPIT. Have it use the
- E hot key to start up and use the U/L and D/L filename
- EGAPIT.BAT. This batch file was included with your
- interface disks.
-
- 12. After you've entered this information, your screen
- should look like this:
-
- +------------------------- Setup Menu - version 4.2F --------------------------+
- | Video Modem Dirs Host Protocols Files Options Exit |
- +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | 0 - |
- | 1 - |
- | 2 - |
- | 3 - |
- +---------------------------------+
- | Select character E |
- | Protocol EGAPIT |
- | Upload BAT EGAPIT |
- | Download BAT EGAPIT |
- | Filename Prompt N |
- +---------------------------------+
- | Toggles ^Y |
- +--------------------+
-
- 13. Once this protocol is set up, all you need to do to
- activate the interface is PgDn when the program asks
- you to, select E for EGAPIT and the EGA Pit will
- coordinate itself with your host BBS.
-
- 14. See the Player Documentation for instructions on
- playing The Pit once you're connected.
-
- 15. Notice you may have to setup QMODEM to swap out
- its memory to disk if you do not have enough memory to
- run the program.
-
- +------------------------- Setup Menu - version 4.2F --------------------------+

- |----> | -- Disk Shell ON |
- | Calibrate DELAY ON |
- +-------------------------+
-
- 16. If you do not wish to have QMODEM to do a disk shell each
- time you run our game, then you can D/L a utility from our
- BBS called SWAP. It will shell out QMODEM from inside the
- batchfile. Your batchfiles will have to be adjusted however.
-

-
-
-
- Telix

-
- 7. Copy the file EGAPIT.BAT to your communications
- directory.

-
-
- 9. Go to your configuration options.

- interface disks.

- activate the interface is PgDwn when the program asks
- you to, select E for EGAPIT and the EGA Pit will
- coordinate itself with your host BBS.
-

- Disclaimer
- ~~~~~~~~~~
-
- In the short amount of time we had to set this up we could
- not get TELEMATE v2.1 to work with the EGAPIT TERMINAL. I
- imagine there is already a swap to disk option included in
- the next release of this product. But we did not have time to
- search it out. If anyone is ever able to figure out how to
- make this game run with TELEMATE, please call us and let us
- know how.
-
-
- If you use a communications package that we have not listed
- and cannot figure out how to install our software for it,
- feel free to call us:
