                              REGISTERING
                              ~~~~~~~~~~~
A public registration key is included.

Scramble will only use the first 100 words from the list of over
30,000 words until registered.

Once registered -- it will unlock all the features of the registered
version including the full 30,000+ word lists!


                     INSTALLATION:     IMPORTANT!!!!!!!
                     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Run Scramble using the command line UTILITY.

Example: SCRAMBLE UTILITY

Then, reset the door from scratch. You can also easily setup your
configuration files this way!

This Door is multi-node  compatible so you may run more than 1 node from
the same .CFG file provided the path to your system file (DORINFOx.DEF,
CALLINFO.BBS, etc) is exactly the same unless you are using environment
variables, (q.v.)

                           Environment Variables
                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PCBoard automatically creates the %PCBDRIVE% & %PCBDIR% environment
variables. Non-PCBoard systems may also use these variables by including
the following in either your BBS batch or AUTOEXEC.BAT
  SET PCBDRIVE=C:               <- Drive letter of your BBS files
  SET PCBDIR=\BBSDIR            <- Path to your BBS files
Then in your Door .CFG file instead of putting C:\BBSDIR\DOOR.SYS, you
would put %PCBDRIVE%%PCBDIR%\DOOR.SYS. This allows you to use just one
.CFG file for multi-node operation!

To specify a non-standard IRQ, put the IRQ number after the .CFG on the
command line.  For example:

     SCRAMBLE SCRAMBLE.CFG /5
or using the PCBDRIVE procedure:   SET IRQ=5   and use
     SCRAMBLE SCRAMBLE.CFG /%IRQ%

NOTE: The .CFG filename is not unique, it can be changed to anything
      you wish!

This tells the program to use IRQ 5 instead of the standard IRQ.

  Had reports of conflicts when using non-standard IRQ's on Novell/Netware
 systems. Seems Novell also uses the / character so something went screwy
 somewhere. So I added the * (asterisk) which may be used instead of the /
 in case of a conflict. In other words, /%IRQ% and *%IRQ% will both work
 and are interchangeable.

When specifying the location of the system file on line 1 of the doors .CFG
file, you may use the environment variables %pcbdrive%, %pcbdir%, %pcbnode%,
and %wcnodeid%. Some examples:
 PCBoard: 
   USERS.SYS in C:\PCB           - %pcbdrive%%pcbdir%\USERS.SYS
   USERS.SYS in C:\PCB\NODE1     - %pcbdrive%%pcbdir%\NODE%pcbnode%\USERS.SYS

 Wildcat!:
   USERINFO.DAT in C:\WC\NODE1   - C:\WC\NODE%wcnodeid%

Non-PCBoard systems may use the PCB environment variables by setting them
in either AUTOEXEC.BAT or in the batch that runs the door. For example:
 SET PCBDRIVE=C:
 SET PCBDIR=\BBSDIR
 SET PCBNODE=1

                            Fossil Driver Support
                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DoorFrame supports the use of Fossil drivers.  To tell your Door to use the
Fossil driver instead of the standard COM ports, just put /FD on the command
line when running the door. For example:
     MYDOOR MYDOOR.CFG /FD
indicates that a Fossil driver is present and should be used. If no Fossil
driver is detected, DoorFrame will print a message to that effect and exit
the door gracefully.

                                Sysop Keys
                                ~~~~~~~~~~
F3    -  Toggles the printer On/Off. Value is passed to PCBoard and/or
         written to DOOR.SYS and USERS.SYS
F4    -  Toggles the Page Bell on/off. Value is passed to PCBoard
         and/or written to DOOR.SYS and USERS.SYS
F5    -  DOS Shell. Allows SysOp to exit to DOS from inside a DOOR.
F7    -  Toggles the Caller Alarm On/Off. Value is passed to PCBoard
         and/or written to DOOR.SYS and USERS.SYS
F8    -  Returns the caller involuntarily to the BBS.
F9    -  Toggles the local display On/Off. Value is passed to PCBoard
         and/or written to DOOR.SYS and USERS.SYS
F10   -  Activates SysOp CHAT mode within the DOOR.
ESC   -  Deactivates CHAT mode.  DOOR is resumed.
UP    -  Give the caller extra time while in the DOOR.  
DN    -  Subtract time from the caller while in the DOOR. 
HOME  -  HELP key for Status Line options.
ALT-N -  SysOp next on toggle. Value passed to PCBoard. (PCBoard only)
ALT-X -  PCBoard will exit after current caller logs off. Value is
         passed to PCBoard. Not available on non-PCBoard systems.

                           YOUR CONFIGURATION FILE
                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Change the SYSOP.CFG file to meet your needs:

20
5
N
C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULL1.SCR
C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULL1.BBS
Y
4

LINE 1: Number of words/play a user may attempt.
LINE 2: Current month. Used for resetting the scores monthly!
LINE 3: Tournament mode (Y or N)
LINE 4: Path & Filename to your color bulletin.
LINE 5: Path & Filename to your ASCII bulletin.
LINE 6: Do you want bulletins created? Y or N
LINE 7: How many times a player may enter the door per day.

Wildcat! 3.x and 4.x and BULLETINS: The color bulletin should end with
the .SCR extension, and the mono bulletin should end with a .BBS
extension - trust me! <G>

                           YOUR TIME LIMIT FILE
                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You may adjust the amount of time a user has to figure out the scrambled
word by editing a file called TIMEUP.DAT. Here's the structure of that
file:

100
50
25

LINE 1: Increased time (in seconds) for EASY LEVEL.
LINE 2: Increased time (in seconds) for MEDIUM LEVEL.
LINE 3: Increased time (in seconds) for HARD LEVEL.


                              TOURNAMENT MODE
                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Turning tournament mode on does the following: The first player of the
day will have to wait a few seconds until the tournament words are
selected. Next, the tournament words will be compiled into a file
called TOURNY.TXT. All users who play today will get the same words
(scrambled differently).

                                LOCAL MODE
                                ~~~~~~~~~~
To run in LOCAL mode simply run SCRAMBLE using the LOCAL command line:

Example: SCRAMBLE LOCAL

                                RESETTING
                                ~~~~~~~~~
Scramble will reset at the first of each month -- no maintenance
needed. However, you can reset Scramble any time you wish using the
UTILITY command string and then selecting the appropriate menu
item.

                                WORD LISTS
                                ~~~~~~~~~~
Word lists are now history, we've compiled the words into one large
database of words. This has dramatically increased the speed of the
door!
