- OVERVIEW
- ________
-
-
- STATES is an educational game whereby you select one of the 50 United
- States and the computer askes you a series of questions in an attempt
- to guess the State you selected.
-
-
- NOTE: Most errors will be logged to a file called DFRAME.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 STATES files
-
- 2) Unzip STATESxx.ZIP into the the above directory
-
- NOTE: BRUN45.EXE is NOT included but IS required !!!
- ^^^ ^^
- 3) Create a configuration file, with a name of your choice, or
- modify the supplied STATES.CFG file. A description follows:
-
- C:\PCB\ ** Location of System File
- SUNRISE-80 BBS Your BBS Name
- Al Sysop's First Name
- Lawrence Sysop's Last Name
- 25 Maximum # of Games
-
- ** Replace With ONE of the Following:
- PCBOARD.SYS ..... For PCBOARD Systems
- DOOR.SYS ........ For Systems that Support DOOR.SYS
- CALLINFO.BBS .... For WILDCAT! Systems
- DORINFOx.DEF .... For QBBS/RBBS/RemoteAccess Systems
- SFDOORS.DAT ..... For SPITFIRE Systems
-
-
-
- 4) Create a batch file or modify the STATES file supplied. A
- description of this file follows:
-
- ECHO off
- cd\PCB\DOORS\STATES Location of States files
- STATES STATES.CFG EXE filename and CFG filename (Name
- used in creating file in #3 above)
- CD\PCB
- BOARD
-
-
- 5) When running in more than one node, be sure to supply a
- different configuration name for each node (your choice of name).
-
-
-
- COM Support
- ___________
-
- Support for COM 1-4 on the standard IRQ's - COM1/COM3 = IRQ4 and
- COM2/COM4 = IRQ3. If you wish to use a non-standard IRQ, add the IRQ
- number after the configuration filename. Let's assume your Door is
- called FOOBAR and you want to use COM1 and IRQ5. The command line
- passed to your Door would be:
- FOOBAR FOOBAR.CFG /5
- The /5 tells FOOBAR to use IRQ5 rather than the standard IRQ4 that is
- normally used with COM1. No /x parameter is needed for the standard
- IRQ's.
