- /, +, -, . and a number from 1 to 4.
-
- Parameter File Dir
- ------------------
- If the parameter file is not the in the same dir as the game's executables,
- you can access the parameter file with this switch. Game data files will
- ALWAYS be written to the dir that the game executables are in, regaurdless
- of this switch. If the switch is defined, the parameter file will be looked
- for in the defined directory. If no switch is defined, the program will look
- for the file in the current directory.
-
- AHPAH Universal online user file
- --------------------------------
- All of AHPAH's online games online require two pieces of information to
- execute properly. The online users name, and if he is remote or local.
- Therefore AHPAH.TXT has been created. AHPAH.TXT is a text file which has
- line 1 as the user's name, and line 2 as REMOTE or LOCAL. The following are
- some samples.
-
- The main pimp!
- LOCAL
-
- Joe Schmo
- REMOTE
-
- If you can make an AHPAH.TXT (it only takes 2 lines!), you can play this
- game.
-
- Notes
- -----
- 1] There is an online user file floating around called DOOR.SYS, for the
- GAP BBS it is in text form, but for the SEARCHLIGHT BBS it is in an
- untyped form. If you have a GAP BBS, the switch is coming soon, but if
- you have a SEARCHLIGHT BBS that produces DOOS.SYS you can do the
- following:
-
- PIMPWARS.BAT
- ------------
- @ECHO OFF
- RENAME DOOR.SYS PCBOARD.SYS
- PIMPWARS /P /x
-
- This little batch file will do the trick.
