How to Set-up and Install:

1. Since you're reading this file, I can assume you have
successfully UNZIPPED the archive.  Adventurers of Renown
Ruins of Able-Wyvern™(TM) [ARRA] needs specific subdirectory
access though; so, please check for the following subdirec-
tories.
   /data - in which all raw game information is stored.
   /docs - in which various user information is stored.
   /menu - in which all games screens are stored.

   You can create the appropriate subdirectories by unzipping
the archive again with the "-d" option.

   All of my game modules are designed to conserve your disk
space.  So, you only have to create 1 directory and place all
of "Steve Gose Games" in one "Root directory".  (You will discover
that different modules will re-use various files from other games.)

Ok, ... let's proceed.

2.  Now that we have a "root gaming directory" and 3 subdirectories,
you should see the following wcCode programs and support files.

   ARPLYER.WCX  - a FREE SysOp Player Editor. Set this up using
		  MakeMenu in an area you use as SysOp.
   ARRA.WCX     - the main gaming module.
   ARRAMAIT.WCX - the daily maintenance program. Use this to reset
                  timers and counters for the players each day.
                  This program will restore health and raise up dead
                  player characters.  Please run this from the Event
                  Management screen of your SysOp Menu as a "HARD"
                  scheduled event.
   ARRA.LST     - a list of your BBS Users who have accessed ARRA.
                  You can insert Names into this list of those who
                  like this type of gaming.  This list is used to
                  create announcements, and a very small bulletin
                  for players only.
   File_id.diz  - a short description for your file database.
   ARRA.KEY     - a generic <ASP> Shareware key.  Once you've
                  registered, overwrite this KEY with your personally
                  assigned KEY.
   ARSetUp.EXE  - a FREE Multi-purpose installation program. You can
                  install any of the Adventurers of Renown(TM) modules
                  using this <ASP> shareware program. A "Deluxe" edition
		  of this program is coming.

3.  Run ARSetUp.EXE. You will see 10 buttons which will configure the game
in 10 steps. It's best if you set up the game's configure by following the
steps in numerical sequence.  After completing all 10 steps, select "File"
at the top of the window, and select "Exit".  A configuration file will be
created for you with all the information you selected.

   Set up should take no more than 3 or 4 minutes (depending if you read
all the HELP screens.  Some are entertaining, or at least I think so ;)

   Check your "Root gaming directory" for the "ARRA.CFG".  This is a simple
text file; you can read or modify its contents with a text editor.

   The "HELP" windows should answer many of your questions or provide
advice and information.  I've found that SysOps ask about the "Amount"
window.  DO NOT use decimal places when entering CASH amounts.  Enter
all CASH amounts as if you were entering the CASH Charges in "pennies".

4.  Last Step! Go to MakeMenu and create Menu entries for these WCX programs.
and then go to your SysOp menu and set up the ARRAMAIT.WCX program to run at
least once a day from your "Event Management".
**  Please run the ARRAMAIT.WCX as a "HARD" scheduled event and as a WCX 
program.  Running the ARRAMAIT.WCX in a Batch file or WcPro script might 
result in a "hung" process. **

   You generic KEY will not expire, there's no limit (within reason) for you
to try out this program on your BBS.  However, I noticed that once players
start playing, THEY ARE HOOKED!  This is a VERY ADDICTIVE GAME.  You'll find
that if you have set a reasonable amount to charge your Users, you WILL GET 
what you asked for.
