Blind Poker Version 1.00 ±±±ÝOVERVIEW/FEATURESÞ±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±± This door is a variation of a poker game. It is a simple game to play. Many people have played it at one time or another. You win by having the high card the only thing is you can't see your card until after you make your bets or fold. You may choose an opponent or play the house. The house will only have $300.00 dollars on hand each visit if you bust the house you will not be able to challenge the house again until your next visit. The other opponents are simply other bbs members who have played. A person may challenge another member and wipe him/her out and later when the other member enters he/she may choose the Check your Cash option and be notified of who and when their cash was changed. The opposite scenario is possible as well if you challenge another member and lose that members cash will increase. If it is your first visit or you are busted you will be awarded $150.00 for that days activities. You may only collect that once a day. Each members pot will increase to maximum of $30,000.00 once a person exceeds this amount all files are cleared and play starts over from the beginning. One other short note. If two cards have the same value say 6 of hearts and 6 of spades the high card will be the higher suit, spades in this case. ±±±ÝLEGALITIESÞ±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±± This software and documentation is protected by both United States copyright law and International treaty provisions.

Create a directory and put all the files in that directory 2. Modify the blndpkr1.CFG (directions to follow) 3. Create a door(?).run or door(?).bat (see below) EXAMPLE DOOR(?).RUN and DOOR(?).BAT This is an example door.run that I'm using to run Blind Poker on my system. It's in my node1 directory as Door3.run. Cd\wc30\blndpkr ' the path to the directory I have my Poker files in. blndpkr 1 ' the executable and the node number. NOTE: Tell Wildcat that the Door is NOT multiuser. That way Wildcat won't allow more than one member in the door at the same time. ±±±ÝTHE CONFIG FILEÞ±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±± blndpkr1.cfg is a simple one line configuration file which should be in the directory you have all your Blind Poker files in. Let's look at the one line: Line #1: The Path To Your Door.sys File (eg. C:\Wc30\Wcwork\Node1\Door.sys) ±±±ÝREGISTRATIONÞ±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±± As a general rule, I am totally against "crippleware" so the only other alternative is a key. I also realize that most keys can be broken so in the end it's really up to the sysop and the door. We've tried to keep the cost down because we know that running a bbs is expensive. So, what does it cost to register Blind Poker you ask? How does $10 sound? Hope it sounds OK cause that's the registration fee. If you like the program then send us $10 and you'll get a permanent key right away. NOTE: This is the first version of Blind Poker. Future versions will probably be more expensive. If you register now the price is $10. So, why not get in on the ground floor now while it's cheap . Simply Fill Out the registration form (REG.TXT), Print it out, put a check (or money order) for at least $10 and the form in an envelope and pop it in the mail. As soon as we receive your check (or money order) we will create a key for you and put it in the Taylor Pruitt file section of our BBS. Or, contact us netmail at Fidonet 1:296/4 and we'll put it on hold for you. ±±±ÝSUPPORTÞ±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±± We provide support for our doors.
