- 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. I can't make this much
- simpler. There is no configuration file and only one commandline
- parameter.
-
- The only files you need initially are "Spinner.Exe","Dorinfo1.Def",
- "Spinner.Ans". The door will make all the data files it needs.
-
- Step 1. Make a directory for the Spinner.Exe file.
- Step 2. Unarchive and copy the Spinner.Exe file to the directory
- you made.
- Step 3. Add a menu entry to run the door (and modify menu screens
- as necessary).
-
- Commandline Options:
- 1) *N for Node Number
-
- RA/QBBS Note
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- In your menu editor
-
- Command name : ^S^pin Door
- Type Command : Type 7 exit
- Additional info : *C /c c:\BBS\Spinner\Spinner.exe /N*N *M
-
- Optional Commandline information
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- /D for Door.Sys reading instead of Dorinfo1.def
- /DEBUG for Debug log reports file name in form of DEBUG001.JPD
- (Where 001 is replace with current node number.)
-
-
- Other BBS's
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
- Create the standard RBBS type "Dorinfo1.def" and run Spinner.exe
- from your system, or GAP style Door.Sys file too.
-
- SpinEdit
- ~~~~~~~~
- SpinEdit is an information program and Editor for the Puzzles.fil
- and Spinner.USR file. With SpinEdit you can Add, Edit or Delete
- A Puzzle or User. This can be real hand for getting rid of twits
- also, when that user who wants to write dirty puzzles and you don't
- want the kids to see it, now you can just delete it. Additionally
- you can add puzzles at will.
-
- Spinedit now includes Sort by: Puzzle Name, Puzzle Type, Puzzle Date
- or Puzzle Author. And CLEAN OPTION... take out extra spaces in
- Author Name field.

-
- Spinner is intended for those people who like good old fashioned
- competition. There is no killing other people on the BBS, no aliens
- from outer space, no Cabal stealing your money and blowing up your
- ships while your gone and no extra time to download that new GIF
- file of Madonna you don't have enough time to get. All you get if
- you win is the satisfaction of knowing you have the best score on
- the BBS for other people to try to beat.
-
- Spinner is intended to represent a game similar to Wheel of
- Fortune. Spin the Wheel, Guess the Puzzle, without going Bankrupt.
- During the game you want to try and get the best score. If you
- guess the puzzle, you get to add your own puzzle. It's that simple,
- but also that fun.
