   YAHTZEE - The Door Game will probably be one of the easiest if not
   the easiest door you have ever setup on your BBS. 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
   FILE_ID.DIZ          Complete description using BBS standard
   HOF.YAZ         X    Hiscore data file for YAHTZEE - The Door Game
   INSTRUCT.ANS    X    Instructions for playing YAHTZEE - The Door Game
   REGISTER.FRM         A handy form for registering YAHTZEE - The Door Game
   SCORESHT.ANS    X    Main Screen for YAHTZEE - The Door Game
   SYSOP.DOC            These documents for installing YAHTZEE - The Door Game
   YAHTZEE.ANS     X    Sample High Score ANSI file
   YAHTZEE.ASC     X    Sample High Score ASCII file
   YAHTZEE.CFG     X    Sample configuration for YAHTZEE - The Door Game
   YAHTZEE.EXE     X    YAHTZEE - The Door Game main executable

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

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

   Edit YAHTZEE.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 YAHTZEE.CFG would look like this:

   Grass Roots
   Bill Hicks
   B&D Software
   1234567890

   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 YAHTZEE with the drive:\path\filename of the dropfile in
            the command line
   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\YAHTZEE
   YAHTZEE.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 YAHTZEE.EXE to reflect the drive:\path\filename
   of the appropriate drop file.

   Bulletins will be created in the sub-directory where YAHTZEE - The Door
   Game is located. To move them to another directory create your DOOR.BAT
   file in the following manner:

   ECHO OFF
   C:
   CD \BBS\DOORS\YAHTZEE
   YAHTZEE.EXE C:\BBS\DOOR.SYS
   COPY YAHTZEE.ANS C:\BBS\BULLS\YAHTZEE.ANS
   COPY YAHTZEE.ASC C:\BBS\BULLS\YAHTZEE.ASC
   C:
   CD \MAX
   EXIT

   YAHTZEE - The Door Game may be ran locally by simple typing YAHTZEE.EXE
   without a Command line added.
