- ▒▒▒ Three Ways To Run ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
-
- Running Locally:
-
- To run locally just run DRAWPOKE.EXE without parameters or with the
- paramameter SETUP to create a DRAWPOKE.CFG file. Then to run type:
-
- DRAWPOKE DRAWPOKE.CFG LOCAL
-
- at the dos prompt. By specifying the configuration file this will allow
- the game to write the bulletins (to a path of your choice) and to allow
- the game to use the Sysop's real name instead of the name Sysop.
-
- Running With Evaluation (Demo) Key:
-
- To run as an evaluation (Demo) door requires that you call one of the
- support BBS's listed in the SUPPORT.TXT file included in the DRAWPOKE.ZIP
- file. Where you can download (FREQ where available) a 30 day evaluation
- (Demo) key. These keys are only 1,500 bytes so they can be downloaded or
- File REQuested very quickly. These keys will allow you to run this door
- for 30 days so you and your users may try it to see if you want it. If
- you can't download/freq the key then fill out REGISTER.FRM and check the
- keys you want and send it with $2 for shipping and the requested
- demo keys will be mailed to you.
-
- NOTE: Only one key for evaluation key allowed for
- each system.
- DO NOT DISTIBUTE EVALUATION KEYS
- Let each system download there own key.
-
- Running as A Registered Door:
-
- To run as a registered door you must register. To register simply
- print-out or copy the contents of the REGISTER.FRM file provided in
- this package. Fill it out with the requested information and send it
- with check, money order or Visa/Mastercard information to the address
- on the form itself or at the end of this documentation.

- shipment of the registered key will be sent promptly. I want to make it clear
- that all my door games are supported by me to the best of my ability. If you

-
- Welcome to Five Card Draw Poker. In this door verison of Five
- Card Poker you play against the computer. The computer will deal
- out a hand for you and a hand for itself. And you simply try to
- beat the computers hand.
-
- You have two rounds of betting. The first bet is right after the
- hands are dealt. The second bet is made after discards and draws
- have been made. There is no betting limit, but the computer will
- make a logical decision rather a bet is within a range according to
- it's own hand. The computer will fold if a it has nothing in it's
- hand and a bet of more than ten percent is placed. Also, as scores
- get higher it watches betting even closer.
-
- The computer also has a Raise option. A raise is based on three
- elements, the computers hand, the amount bet and the total of the
- players score. Raises in general will rise with the players score.
-
- All poker hands are recognized and are ranked as follows:
-
- Straight Flush : Five Cards In Sequence Of The Same Suit
- Four Of A Kind : Any Four Cards Of The Same Rank
- Full House : Three Of A Kind And A Pair
- Flush : Any Five Cards Of The Same Suit
- Straight : Any Five Card In Sequence
- Three Of A Kind: Any Three Card Of Same Suit
- Two Pairs : Two Cards Of A Rank & Two Cards Of Another Rank
- One Pair : Two Cards Of The Same Rank
- High Card : Highest Card In Unmatched Hand
-
- When the player and computer have tied or have nothing then the
- winning hand is decided by the High Card method. If both have Ace
- high then the next to the highest card is compared and so on.
-
- * * * F E A T U R E S * * *
-
- Five Card Draw Poker allows up to 50 hands a day. The registered
- allows missed days to be made up as well as days to be played ahead.
- These options are configurable by the Sysop.
-
- A player may exit a game without completing all thier hands and
- return later the same day to finish. Also, a player may also enter
- the game at anytime after playing the current day and make up missed
- days or play ahead days if any are available. The hands these days
- must be played before exiting. You will not be allowed to re-enter
- a day which is played as an extra day, make up or playing ahead.

- ▒▒▒ Setup & Installation ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
-
- Installation procedures are very simple if you have setup a live
- program in the past. First create a Sub-Directory for the door game and
- copy all the files from the DRAWPOKE.ZIP file into this directory.
-
- Now execute DRAWPOKE.EXE with the SETUP parameter as shown below:
-
- DRAWPOKE SETUP or just DRAWPOKE
-
- This will run the games setup feature that will create a DRAWPOKE.CFG
- file. The setup program has complete on-line help so I will not duplicate
- it here.
-
- This is what the DRAWPOKE.CFG contains when created (less the comments).
-
- 1 <-- COM PORT 1, 2, 3, 4 or &H###/#
- Y <-- Multi-Node 'Y' or 'N'
- JNS Software Support BBS <-- Name Of BBS
- Rusty Johnson <-- Sysop's Full Name
- DOOR.SYS <-- BBS Callers File
- C:\WILDCAT\ <-- Drive & Path Of Systems Caller File
- LOG <-- LOG to keep user log or NOLOG to disable
- C:\BULLETIN\BULL99.BBS <-- Drive\Path\BulletinName For Ansi Scores
- C:\BULLETIN\BULL99.SCR <-- Drive\Path\BulletinName For Ascii Scores
- Wildcat <-- Type of BBS System Your Running
- 30 <-- Hands Allowed Per Day (1 to 50)
- 2 <-- Extra Days Allowed Per Day
- 25 <-- Start Day To Allow Play Ahead
-
- NOTE: Valid System Callers files for each BBS system are as follows:
-
- Wildcat 3.X BBS System <-> DOORS.SYS
- Wildcat! 1.X & 2.X BBS System <-> CALLINFO.BBS
- QuickBBS System <-> DORINFOx.DEF
- RBBS-PC BBS System <-> DORINFOx.DEF
- Remote Access BBS System <-> DORINFOx.DEF
- T.A.G. BBS System <-> DORINFOx.DEF
- PCBoard BBS System <-> DOOR.SYS
- Gap BBS System <-> DOOR.SYS
- Spitfire BBS System <-> SFDOORS.DAT
-
- If you use another BBS System besides what is listed then you must use
- a converter to convert to one of the above caller file formats.
-
- The Bulletin Drive\Path\Bulletin Name is designed to accept any valid
- Drive, Path and Filename of your choice. This allows each BBS system to
- configure for their individual system.

-
- Some BBS Systems call batch files and some run doors direct. So if you
- don't know how to install a door on your particular BBS System then please
- see your BBS manual. The game merely needs the CFG file name passed to it on
- the command line to operate. ie. DRAWPOKE.EXE DRAWPOKE.CFG

-
- Running this game on more than a single node requires a Multi-Node Key.
- When using a Evaluation Key you must allow only one (1) Node to access the
- door at a time. You may use different configuration file names for each node.
-
- Use the SETUP parameter with Five Card Draw Poker to create a DRAWPOKE.CFG
- configuration file and then rename it for each node. For a short cut, you
- may create one file and copy it to the different names and edit the file
- with any text editor. Just be sure to keep all fields correct.
-
- Example Of File Naming and execution:
-
- Node 1: DRAWPOKE DRAWPOKE.CF1
- Node 2: DRAWPOKE DRAWPOKE.CF2
- Node 3: DRAWPOKE DRAWPOKE.CF3

-
- This game does not require any monitoring program for dropped carrier,
- it automatically detects this and exits back to the BBS.
-
- This door DOES NOT require any runtime modules to run. It is run
- as is without any aid from outside utilities.
-
- Some Terminal programs have a default setting of ON for Compu-Serve B file
- transfers. If this is on the Terminal Program will strip the ASCII Code 3,
- which is a CLUB character used by the card. Have your users set this to OFF
- if CLUBS fail to appear on the cards.
