   CHALLENGER BINGO is as easy to set up as are all B&D Software
   door's! You should, however, be familiar with your BBS software 
   and how it runs external programs or "doors". Also, you should be 
   familiar with simple DOS commands like how to create a directory 
   and how to write a simple batch file. A sample batch file is 
   included in this package which should work with most BBS software 
   with very little modification.

   The following files should have been in this ZIP package when you
   received it:

   DESC.SDI             One line description of file
   DOOR.BAT             Sample batch file for running door
   BUGRPORT.FRM         Handy form for reporting bugs in program
   BETADIST.BBS         A list of all B&D Software Beta/Distribution Sites
   FILE_ID.DIZ          Complete description using BBS standard
   REGISTER.FRM         A handy form for registering CHALLENGER BINGO
   SYSOP.DOC            These documents for installing CHALLENGER BINGO
   BININTRO.ANS    X    Intro Screen for CHALLENGER BINGO
   BINGO.EXE       X    CHALLENGER BINGO Main executable
   BINGHELP ANS    X    CHALLENGER BINGO Instructions
   BINGMENU ANS    X    Main Menu for CHALLENGER BINGO

   Those files followed by an "X" should NOT be deleted from the directory.
   Any others may be at your own discretion. 

Installing CHALLENGER BINGO on your system:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   Create a Sub-directory under your DOORS directory (or where ever you
   have your external programs). Call this sub-directory BINGO (or any
   other name of your choice). Place all the files that were in this ZIP
   package in that sub-directory.

   Edit BINGO.CFG to reflect the following information:

   Line 1 > BBS Name
   Line 2 > SYSOP Name
   Line 3 > Door Donor's Name (if registered)
   Line 4 > Registration number

   Using the information for my BBS the BINGO.CFG would look like this:

   Grass Roots
   Bill Hicks
   B&D Software
   1234567890

   OR! You can delete the file BINGO.CFG and run BINGO.EXE locally
   and you will be prompted for all pertinent data. When you register the
   door just delete the old BINGO.CFG and re-run BINGO.EXE!

   Next you will need to edit the DOOR.BAT provided. Here is how it works
   quite simply put:

   Line 1 > Turn the echo off
   Line 2 > Change to the drive on which the door is located
   Line 3 > Change to the door directory
   Line 4 > Execute BINGO with the drive:\path\filename of the dropfile in
            the command line. If the dropfile is copied to the directory
            where CHALLENGER BINGO is executed then all you will need
            is its name.
   Line 5 > Change back to the drive the BBS is on
   Line 6 > Change to the BBS directory
   Line 7 > Exit the batch file

   Here is the one I use on Grass Roots (provided as the sample DOOR.BAT):

   ECHO OFF
   C:
   CD \MAX\DOORS\BINGO
   BINGO.EXE C:\MAX\DOOR.SYS
   C:
   CD \MAX
   EXIT

   NOTICE: Some BBS software revolts at using the "EXIT" at the end of the
   batch file. Create it as your BBS documents direct.

   For a DORINFOn.DEF, CALLINFO.BBS, or other drop file simple change the
   command line following BINGO.EXE to reflect the drive:\path\filename
   of the appropriate drop file.

   CHALLENGER BINGO  may be ran locally by simple typing BINGO.EXE
   without a Command line added.


     I hope that you and your callers enjoy CHALLENGER BINGO, and that
     you find it worthy of your support.  Please read the file REGISTER.FRM 
     for information on how to register your copy of CHALLENGER BINGO!
