PACKING LIST:
ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ

   CRYPTO.TPG     The program

   CRYPEDIT.TPD   Editor program so you can add or edit quotes.

   CRYPTO11.TXT   This File

   CRYPTO.DBF     Database of quotes.

SETTING UP CRYPTOMAN:
ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ

In the simplest mode, just create an entry that points to crypto.tpg.

For example:
   Entry:
   <C>rptoMan v1.1
   Key=C Type=200 Opt Data=[drive:][\path\]crypto /q


Optionally, you may add -Pnn in the optdata will enable you to set the
number of times per day a player can play. The default is once a day. A
-P5 will set the game up for 5 times a day. A -P0 will enable unlimited
play. Unlimited plays per day is the default.

For example:
   Entry:
   <C>rptoMan v1.1
   Key=C Type=200 Opt Data=[drive:][\path\]crypto -P5 /q



If you want to permit users to chat with users in other games originally
from Jeff Johnson, you need to add the path to the starcomm.dbf file.
This feature is considered obsolete and there is no guarantee it will be
present in future updates.

For example:

TYPE=200 Opt Data=C:\programs\crypto\crypto -P5 -CD:\Games\Star\Starcomm /Q
                                                  ^
                            (Note no space between the -C and the D:)

              drive:\path\crypto -C drive:\path\(any game from The Rock
                                                Software) /Q

This will enable the chat function to work properly between any games that
were released by The Rock Software.  If this is setup properly, players
may communicate between games such as StarQuest, CryptoMan, BrainPower, etc.

That is about all there is to setting this game up.  There is no configuring
to worry about.

If the users databases become corrupted, you may delete CRYPUSER.* and
CryptoMan will recreate them the next time it is played.

Scoring is based upon the number of completed messages and the size of
the crypto.dbf (which contains the cryptograms).  A completed message is
worth 100 points.  However, each time HELP is used, 10 points is deducted
from the score.

If you want your users to be able to see the instructions on how to play
CryptoMan, create a menu for CryptoMan and have an option that will display
the text file 'USERS.DOC'.

Please read 'USERS.DOC' for instructions on how to play CryptoMan.



ADDING and/or EDITING QUOTES:
ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ

To add or edit quotes, you will need a menu entry pointing to
CRYPEDIT.TPG.

For example:
   Entry:
   <E>dit quotes
   Key=E Type=200 Opt Data=[drive:][\path\]crypedit /q


If you Add a record, it's important that you not leave it blank. Either
fill in a quote, or restore your backup copy to prevent users from
getting an empty quote.


SUPPORT:
ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ

Support is available from BBS Consultants, Inc. Either by voice at
919-403-9473 or, better, by logging onto Downtown BBS and leaving a
message to Tom Faulkner. You can also obtain answers to your questions
via direct FIDO net mail to Tom Faulkner 1:3641/220 or via internet
e-mail to tom.faulkner@downtown.durham.nc.us.

Thank you for purchasing CrypoMan v1.1. I hope your users enjoy it. One
thing that would make the game more enjoyable is for you to add quotes.
The more quotes you have, the longer it will take for your users to
learn them all. I recommend you get your users involved and let them
submit quotes for use. With a little effort you should be able to use
quotes that are local in nature which also adds interest. All users like
to see their name and quotes from your users should make the program
much more enjoyable. If you have User Manager v3.x, the crypto.dbf file
used the same format as the fortune.dbf file used with User Manager so
you can add the quotes from either to the other.

Finally, I'm looking for additional quotes for a number of BBS
Consultants, Inc. programs. If you care to share your quotes with others
please send them along. The only restriction is that I'll only accept
quotes that are in English (American?), not risque, and have a wide
appeal, and that you have verified and have cited the author.
