- The Ten-In-A-Row Door game is distributed under the SHAREWARE concept.
- Under this concept you may use the SHAREWARE (unregistered demo) version for
- a reasonable period of time, which I consider to be 30 days. After this
- period you must either register your copy or discontinue usage (See
- REGISTER.FRM).

- Setting up Ten-In-A-Row is quite easy. First of all, you will need to edit
- the file TEN.CFG. It is made with a standard ASCII text editor, and is
- formatted like :
-
- Line 1 : The Number Of Games Allowed To Be Played Each Day
- Line 2 : Whether To Keep A Log File Or Not (YES or NO)
- Line 3 : Whether To Allow User Handles (YES or NO)
- Line 4 : Cards Allowed Per Game (Suggested 10-15)
- Line 5 : Name Of The ANSI High Scores Bulletin
- Line 6 : Name Of The ASCII High Scores Bulletin
-
- This file will automatically be created by the Ten-In-A-Row door if it
- is not found. The above line descriptions also appear at the bottom of the
- TEN.CFG file so you should have no trouble adjusting the settings with any
- standard ASCII text editor.
-
- The program does make an ANSI/ASCII high score bulletin(s) That you can
- use as bulletins on your bbs upon exiting the program, as well as when you
- use the [t]op scorers function from the main menu.
-
- Now, to set up a batch file, you must have the file DORINFOx.DEF in the
- Ten-In-A-Row directory. Here is a sample batch file :
-
- @ECHO OFF
- echo Please Wait, Loading Ten-In-A-Row... > COM2
- copy dorinfo1.def C:\onliners\ten
- cd\onliners\ten
- ten
- cd\bbs
- exit
-
- This file has been compressed with PKLITE (tm) in order to save disk
- space as well as to assure you that this is in fact virus free software, due
- to the fact that viruses can pass undetected when the software gets infected,
- and then is compressed.
