- OVERVIEW
- ________
-
-
- OVER UNDER SOLITAIRE is a highly challenging, fast-paced, version of
- Solitaire requiring skill, luck and good strategy. The object of the
- game is to selectively remove cards from the tableau, placing them on
- the Discard Pile, thus reducing the number of cards in the tableau to
- a minimum (ideally, zero).
-
-
- NOTE: Most errors will be logged to a file called SUNRISE.ERR, which is
- created in the directory you run the door from.
-
-
-
- INSTALLATION
- ____________
-
-
- Installation is fairly easy and straight-forward. The following steps and
- examples should have you up and running in a very short period of time.
- It is assumed that you are familiar with setting up DOORS on your system.
- To this end, only examples of the configuration file and Door batch file
- are described.
-
- 1) Create a directory to hold all OVERUNDR files
-
- 2) Unzip OVRUNDxx.ZIP into the the above directory
-
- NOTE: BRUN45.EXE is not included but is required !!!

- ADOPT-A-DOOR
- ____________
-
- Having been a Sysop for a number of years, I have had my share of problems
- and frustrations getting financial support for my board's upkeep. A fellow
- Sysop left a message on my board, not long ago, about a concept that was
- being used by several boards around the country.
-
- The concept, ADOPT-A-DOOR, allows a caller to register (ADOPT) a door. It
- would be the same as sending in a donation, only this way it is earmarked
- for registering a particular door. In a way, the user feels he/she is
- "getting something in return". As a Door author I have decided to build
- this concept into each of my Door programs. The concept replaces the
- usual message "tell the Sysop to register this Door" we find in most
- doors.
-
- If the Door is unregisterd then a message appears on the opening screen
- to that effect. After finishing or suspending a game, a message screen
- is displayed about the ADOPT-A-DOOR concept. The message also tells the
- caller to contact the Sysop to find out if there is any further details
- to the ADOPT-A-DOOR concept. Some Sysops give extra D/L time, online
- time, etc to callers that ADOPT-A-DOOR.
-
- If the Door has been registered, either by the Sysop or other callers,
- the names of those contributors will be displayed in the closing screen.
-
- NOTE: If you want to display the names of the callers that contributed
- to registering the Door, you must create an ASCII file called
- ADOPT.SYS. You create it with an Editor or Word Processor. Enter
- the name(s) of the contributors (one on each line, maximum of 5
- entries, each a maximum of 30 characters long). This file must be
- saved, in ASCII format, and placed in the Door directory.
