- Special thanks
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- To my wife Debbi for not "ragging on me to excessively about my programming".
- To Robert Blocker of Robert's Roost BBS for beta testing this and previous
- doors and utilities. Thanks a lot.
- To Keith Mitchell for testing things out on his RA system (THE PLAY PEN).
-
- Setup
- ~~~~~
- These docs assume you have a vague idea of how to run a door with your
- particular BBS system. This "should" be one of the easiest doors you have
- ever setup on your system. Details will be given for T.A.G. BBS since that's
- what I run and am familiar with. I can't make this much simpler. There is
- no configuration file and only one commandline parameter.
- The only files you need are "Rassle1.Exe","Dorinfo1.Def" and "Rassle.Bat" to
- start off with. The door will make all the data files it needs.
-
- Step 1. Make a directory for the Rassle1.Exe file.
- Step 2. Unarchive and copy the Rassle1.Exe file to the directory you made.
- Step 3. Modify and copy Rassle.bat to your main BBS directory.
- Step 4. Add a menu entry to run the door (and modify menu screens as
- necessary).
-
- That's it.
-
- General Requirements
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- You must run a fossil driver such as BNU or X00 to run this door.
- Room on your system for ~150k of files.
- A directory for the "Rassle1.exe" file to reside in.
- A batch file to copy "Dorinfo1.def" to the "Rassle" directory and run
- the program or the path to Dorinfo1.def on the commandline.
-
- That's all.. the door will make all the files it needs.
-
- Sample RASSLE.BAT
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ----------------------------------
- @echo off
- copy DORINFO1.DEF c:\bbs\rassle
- cd\bbs\rassle

- TAG BBS Setup
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Make a directory for "Rasslin", copy the files into that directory.
- Edit Rassle.bat for your system.
- Make an entry in your Doors (External programs) menu with the following
- information.
-
- Pkey: ":"
- PData: "Rassle"
-
- RA Note
- ~~~~~~~
- You should have no problems at all running "Rasslin" as a Type 7 door.
-
- Object of the game
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The object is to get to be the Manager of the Worlds Rasslin Champion.
-
- You will have to start out as a new manager and get new Rasslers and better
- Finishing holds until your man is experienced enough to fight for the Worlds
- Rasslin Championship against "Mighty Mark".
-
- But first you have to go through 30 training levels. When you reach level
- 31 you get your Title shot. If you win.. you are the Champ and the game
- restarts. If you lose your title shot you go back to Level 30.
-
- You will start the game with $10 and "Joe Geek" with a "face slap".
-
- You will get three "entrances" per day at 15 minutes per entry.
-
- When you leave the Rasslin Arena any reason (losing too much, sick of game,
- used up all fights, etc.), you will lose an entrance turn. After 3 entrances
- (games), the arena doors will be locked and you will have to play tomorrow.
-
- You will only be able to Fight 3 other users Rasslin managers and have only
- 10 rank level fights in each entrance.

- Registration
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- This program is Shareware. It is not crippled but I'd appreciate it
- if you'd register it. You may run it for 2 weeks to determine of
- you want to keep it on your system. At that point you must either
- register the door or remove it from your system. You may however keep
- the file available for download to your users in it's archived form.
-
- The archived version of the program (RASSLE1.ZIP) may be made available
- for download provided a fee is not charged to do so, i.e., if you charge for
- access to your file areas you may NOT have The Rassle Door in there.
