Q.      The instructions in the SKYCOP.CFG say I must name my ANSI and
        ASCII bulletins with extensions *.ANS and *.ASC, but I want to
        name them BULL6.BBS and BULL6G.BBS or some other BBS specific
        format. How do I do this?

A.      The game requires that all bulletins displayed within the
        game end in extension ANS or ASC, however, you should be able
        to create the files you want in the batch file used to call the
        game. For Example:

                  @echo off
                  C:
                  cd\bbs\doors\atc
                  ATC.EXE C:\BBS\NODE1\DOOR.SYS
        ADD  -->  COPY c:\bbs\doors\atc\atc.ans  c:\bbs\bull\BULL6G
        ADD  -->  COPY c:\bbs\doors\atc\atc.asc  c:\bbs\bull\BULL6

        The above of course is an example only. You'll need to use your games
        paths and filenames.

Q.      I was told by another sysop that if I delete the file INUSE.FLG
        before running SKY COP, then I can run it on more than
        one node at a time. Does this work?

A.      You bet. Until the one time that more than one node accesses the
        scorefile at one time. Then you find your scorefile in shambles!!!
        This game will play on more than one node, BUT, only one at a time.
        If you choose to over-ride this, you are on your own!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.      I've heard that SKY COP can be enjoyed at home without a
        BBS. Is this true?

A.      Yes, simply run ATC.EXE from the dos prompt with no command
        line parameters, and it will prompt you for your name and play
        as usual.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.      If I have a problem, how can I contact the author?

A.      The author, Gary Mace, can be reached several ways.

Q.      I am running SKY COP InterBBS as a hub. One of my downlinks
        data is not being processed. It comes in nightly, but is not shown
        in the score files.

A.      Sounds as if you and your downlink are using different PLAYS PER
        DAY or TIME PER TURN settings in the SKYCOP.CFG. All league
        systems MUST all be set to the same. If not, the data will be
        ignored.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.      When I run the InterBBS module, I am getting an error message?

A.      This could be many things. One possible cause would be that not
        all systems in the league are running the same version of SKY  
        COP. First check to ensure that all systems are on the most
        current version.

        Some of the earlier versions of ATCIBBS.EXE contained several
        bugs that would cause this. If you are not sure you running the
        current version, please check FBN BBS.

        If you are using the current version, and all systems are running
        the same, then please advise Mace Software of the message.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.      I've heard a new version is out. How can I obtain it:

A.      The current versions can be obtained by:

Q.      I've heard that Sky Cop's registration fee has been changed from
        $15.00 to $10.00. I registered several months ago. Can I get a
        refund?

A.      If I decide to raise the prices later, I have no intention of
        going back and asking for more money from those already registered.
        Likewise, no refunds for previous registrations will be made.
