Hoenie - All Rights Reserved @X0F@MD:GRUNT! Installation Program v1.5 @OK! @CLS @X0FNOTE: @X0AWHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ IS A COPY FROM THE GRUNT! DOCUMENTATION. IT CONTAINS HOW TO INSTALL GRUNT! MANUALLY. ONCE YOU READ THROUGH THIS (IF YOU CHOOSE), YOU MAY CONTINUE WITH THE INSTALLATION PROGRAM AND INSTALL GRUNT USING THE INSTALL.EXE (THIS PROGRAM). @@OK! @CLS @X0A Before installing GRUNT, it is best to create a GRUNT directory where you keep your BBS Doors. Most sysops keep their doors in one particular area, and some keep them in many different places. Regardless of this, GRUNT must have all of it's files in a separate directory, and it's Dungeon Modules must be separated from each other. Since GRUNT! works soley on Dungeon Modules through the MC-COMPILER(tm), each Dungeon Module must be kept in a separate directory. @X0F NOTE: For Multiple Dungeon Modules, simply create a new copy of CONFIG.DAT and call that configuration file upon running grunt. NOTE: For running GRUNT without a BBS (ie. a user wishing to play GRUNT! in LOCAL MODE ONLY) follow these directions, however, place GRUNT in your \GAMES directory (\GAMES\GRUNT) but follow the documentation here. Also refer to section 3.1 of this manual. @OK! @CLS @X0A Your GRUNT! directory tree on your hard disk should look like this: @X0F GRUNT ÄÄÂÄÄ LOCK ÃÄÄ DUNGEON ÀÄÄ GEN @X0A The GRUNT directory contains the main executable files, configuration files and other necessary information contained within the GRUNT! archive (zipfile). The LOCK directory is generally left blank. GRUNT! will create a NETWORK.SYS file within the LOCK directory. This file contains network information concerning nodes playing GRUNT!. You do not need to modify or maintain this file, GRUNT! automatically upgrades it every 24hrs. The GEN directory contains all welcome files, menus, help files and other necessary display files for GRUNT!. @OK! @CLS @X0A For multiple Dungeon Modules, a GRUNT directory might look like this: @X0F GRUNT ÄÄÂÄÄ LOCK ÃÄÄ DUNGEON1 ÃÄÄ DUNGEON2 ÃÄÄ DUNGEON3 ÃÄÄ DUNGEON4 ÀÄÄ GEN The file "CONFIG.DAT" found in your GRUNT directory contains information variables that point to where directories are. @X0F NOTE: A program called "INSTALL.EXE" is included with your archive (zipfile) of GRUNT. To quickly install GRUNT! with a single Dungeon Module atmosphere, unzip the entire contents of the archive into the GRUNT directory, and run the INSTALL.EXE from within the GRUNT directory. It will automatically create the directories "LOCK", "DUNGEON" and "GEN" for you, and unzip the archives DUNGEON.EXE and GEN.EXE into their appropriate places. The "CONFIG.DAT" file already points to "DUNGEON\", "LOCK\" and "GEN\". This is by far the easiest way to configure GRUNT! and get it running within a matter of minutes. @OK! @CLS @X0A Here is a step-by-step setup guide for manual installation: 1. Make the directory "GRUNT" wherever you wish GRUNT! to reside, on whichever hard disk and whichever directory. 2. Change to the GRUNT directory. 3. Make a directory called "LOCK" (type MD LOCK and hit ENTER). 4. Make a directory called "DUNGEON" (type MD DUNGEON and hit ENTER). 5. Make a directory called "GEN" (type MD GEN and hit ENTER). 6. Unzip the GEN.ZIP file into the GEN directory (Type PKUNZIP GEN.ZIP GEN and press ENTER). 7. Unzip the DUNG.ZIP file into the DUNGEON directory (Type PKUNZIP DUNG.ZIP GEN and press ENTER). 8. Edit (with ANY text editor) the "CONFIG.DAT" file. This file is already configured to use "GEN\", "LOCK\" and "DUNGEON\" as base file locations. If you have placed these files somewhere other than the defaults, you will need to change the drive letter and directory of where GRUNT! can find the files. @X0F NOTE: Again, it is easier to run the "INSTALL.EXE" program from within the GRUNT! directory. It will perform steps 1 thru 7 for you automatically. @OK! @CLS@X0F ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ÚÄÄÄÄ¿ ÚÄÄÄÄ¿ ÚÄÄÄÄ¿ ÚÄÄÄÄ¿ ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ÚÄÄ¿ ³ ÚÄÄÄ¿ ³ À¿ ÚÄÄÄ¿ ³ À¿ ÚÙ À¿ ÚÙ ³ À¿ À¿ ÚÙ ³ ÚÄ¿ ÚÄ¿ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ÀÄÙ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ÿ À¿ ³ ³ ÀÄÙ ³ ³ ÀÄÙ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ÀÄÄÄÙ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³À¿ À¿ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ÚÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ Ú¿ ÚÄÄÙ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ À¿ À¿³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ À¿ ÚÙ ³ ³À¿ À¿ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ À¿ À´ ³ ³ ³ ÀÄÄÙ ³ ÀÄÄÙ ³ ÚÙ À¿À¿ ÀÄ¿ ³ ÀÄÄÄÙ ³ ÚÙ À¿ À¿ ³ ÚÙ À¿ ÚÄÄ¿ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ ÀÄÄÄÄÙ ÀÄÄÄÙ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ ÀÄÄÄÄÙ ÀÄÄÄÄÙ ÀÄÄÄÄÙ ÀÄÄÙ @X0E@MD:(c)1995, 1996 by Michael S.
