Medieval War Door v1.1


Introduction
============

	This file is intended to aid SysOps in installing Medieval War Door 
as a fully functional door program on BBS systems. Currently, the only BBS
system that Medieval War Door has been tested on is PCBoard 15.1. There is no
reason to believe that there should be any problem installing MEDOOR onto any
BBS system that supports DOOR.SYS, PCBOARD.SYS, or DORINFOx.DEF. Including
PCBoard, Wildcat!, and others. If you have any problems installing MEDOOR on
your BBS system, please contact Burnham Park Software, Inc. for help.


Installation
============

	Installing Medieval War Door is extremely easy. The 

	STEP #1: Make a MEDOOR sub-directory in your BBSs main directory 
	(or wherever you would normally install BBS doors).
		Ex: md c:\pcb\medoor

	STEP #2: Copy the MEDOOR.ZIP file into that sub-directory.
		Ex: copy medoor.zip c:\pcb\medoor

	STEP #3: Change the directory to the MEDOOR sub-directory.
		Ex: cd \pcb\medoor

	STEP #4: Unzip the MEDOOR.ZIP file.
		Ex: pkunzip medoor.zip

	STEP #5: Delete the MEDOOR.ZIP file.
		Ex: del medoor.zip

	STEP #6: Use the following BBS-specific installation guide(s).


PCBoard 15.x
=============
	
	After the MEDOOR files have been copied to the proper subdirectory,
Get into the configuration utility (PCBSetup) and go to the proper DOORS.LST
file (usually in the Main Board Configuration under "Doors"). Insert a line
for a new door (Alt-I), then enter the following: MEDOOR under Filename, N 
for USER.SYS, Y for DOOR.SYS, N for Shell, and the MEDOOR path under Path to 
DOOR Files. Exit PCBSetup and, in MS-DOS, go to the MEDOOR directory. The
MEDOOR batch file must now be created. The first line should have @echo off,
to turn off echoing every command to the display. The second line should have
the drive that contains MEDOOR, such as: c: (or %pcbdrive% to make it more 
generic). The third line should change the current directory to the MEDOOR 
directory, such as: cd \pcb\medoor. The fourth line should copy DOOR.SYS to 
the MEDOOR directory, such as: copy c:\pcb\door.sys (or copy 
%pcbdir%\door.sys to make it more generic). The fifth line should execute 
MEDOOR, using the DOOR.SYS file as a parameter, such as: medoor door.sys. The 
sixth line should change the directory back to the one that PCBoard runs 
from, such as: cd \pcb (or cd %pcbdir% to make it more generic). The seventh 
and last line should  restart PCBoard, such as: board. MEDOOR should now work 
on your system. If you have any problems, please contact us at the 
addresses/phone numbers below.


Configuration file
==================

	The configuration file MEDOOR.CFG is responsible for verifying a 
registered version of MEDOOR as well as determining the configuration 
options. For a registered version of MEDOOR. The configuration file format is 
(anything after a semi-colon on a line is a comment):

Shark's Den     ; BBS name
		; Registration password
Bogey Balata    ; Adopter (unregistered = ignored)
20              ; Max games allowed (unregistered = 2)
3               ; Max games per player (unregistered = 1)

The BBS name and registration password are absolutely necessary to invoke the
registered version of MEDOOR. The other three options are only available in
the registered version and determine the adopter (if there is one), the 
maximum games allowed (up to 50), and the maximum games per player.
