Warranty
This is product is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. The
entire risk as to the results and performance of the program is assumed by
you. Futher more, I the author do not warrant, guarantee, or make any
representations regarding the use of, or the results of the use of the program,
and you rely on the program and results solely at your own risk. I the author
cannot accept responsibility for system damage, loss of profit, or any other
special, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from the use or
inability to use this product.
Copyright
The Multi-Board KRAZY CLIMBER live game is distributed as SHAREWARE.
Under this concept you may use the SHAREWARE (unregistered) version for a
reasonable period of time, which I consider to be three weeks, after which you
must either register your copy or discontinue usage.
Registeration
With registeration you will recieve the latest registered copy of KRAZY CLIMBER
with the ability to download any futher updates from Secret Service BBS
at no extra cost. You will also recieve any support the author can give
in reference to bugs or other problems that may arise in using the game.
I feel that sysop's have enough expense without charging a high cost for a game
for their users. I have set the cost of registeration at $10.00 which I feel
if people will follow the shareware concept will be enough to cover shipping
and handling and encourage me to write more doors.
See register.txt for ordering instructions.
Distribution
You are free, in fact encouraged, to distribute the SHAREWARE (unregistered)
version of the Multi-board KRAZY CLIMBER Live Game provided that all files
contained in the original KRAZY CLIMBER archive are distributed in their
original unmodified state.

Introduction
&
How To Play
Krazy Climber is a game of fun and fortune. Players place bets on one
of three "ladder racers". The bets for each race change, and you may
add to your account by placing winning bets. The racers start at the
bottom of the three ladders and only one will make it to the top first.
If you can pick the winner you win your bet times the odds.
Options and Information
This door game will also create color and mono top 10 bulletins and write them
in directories of your choice written in the .CFG file.
The game tracks the montly champion and also displays it within the color
and ascii bulletins.
Installation and Setup
Installation is relatively simple. Create a new directory and dissolve the
contents of Krazy.zip into it. Run Setup.exe and answer the questions as
they appear. If you have problems answering a question then refer to the
detailed instructions below.
Create a batch file to call the game from your bbs software. See the section
of these docs titled BATCH FILES for information on your particular board.
The following is a list of what is in each file:
KRAZY.CFG contains:
The Secret Service BBS <-- Name of BBS
Mike <-- Sysop's first name
Wilson <-- Sysop's last name
C:\Path\BBSInfo.??? <-- Path and filename for Board Info. File (See below)
C:\Path\Color.Scr <-- Path & Filename to create COLOR bulletin
C:\Path\Mono.bbs <-- Path & Filename to create MONO bulletin
NO <-- NO or locked COM PORT Baud Rate
U <-- U for Unlimited plays per day O for Once per day
The line asking for path and name of board info. file refers to the file
that your particular BBS creates when it drops out to run a door. This is:
Wildcat prior to V3.0 ----> Callinfo.bbs PCBoard ---> PCBoard.sys
GAP or WILDCAT 3.0+ -------> Door.sys Spitfire --> SFDoors.dat
QuickBBS ----> DorinfoX.def (The X is 1 or 2 depending on node #)
A proper example of the line would be: C:\Wildcat\Callinfo.bbs
The lines refering to path and file name for Color and Mono Bulletins is
asking for any proper path and filename to write the color and ASCII top
ten bulletins to.

NOTE FOR MULTI NODES!
You may now have several .cfg files to allow use on multinode systems.
Use the above .cfg format but name each .cfg file differently. You
may call them what you want as long as you correctly call them from
the batch file command line.
Example: Node1: game game.cfg
Node2: game game1.cfg
** If your using Multi-nodes and need to alter the address or IRQ of
Com 3 or 4 Please read the file Port.doc for instructions.
KRAZY.DAT contains:
This file contains the following user data:
"The Champion","11-18-1989"," 000"
"Mike Wilson","11-18-1989"," 100"
Data has to be kept in this format, but you can delete all lines except for
line number 1 which is the Last Months Champ line. You can alter line 1 but
not remove it. You need to alter line 1's Date form 11-18-1989 to the month
that your setting up this door. For example if it is December just simply
change the Date to 12-01-1989. It doesn't matter if it's the 1st or the 10th,
only the Month (12) will make any difference.
KRAZY.TXT contains:
This is the instruction file for KRAZY CLIMBER. When a user selects the
See Instructions option during the game, this file is read for
instructions. This file MUST BE PRESENT and Not altered in any way for
KRAZY CLIMBER to run properly
BOARD.TXT
---------
Don't worry about this file. It is created when you run setup.exe
This file tells the game which BBS Software you are running and
tells it to read the correct board file. THERE SHOULD NOT BE A
BOARD.TXT FILE IN THE GAME DIRECTORY IF YOUR RUNNING WILDCAT
PRIOR TO VERSION 3.0+ !
The game looks for this file and defaults to Wildcat if it isn't
found.
For other boards it will contain one line with one of the following:
QuickBBS --------> QBBS GAP or Wildcat 3.0+ ---> GAP
PCBoard ---------> PCB Spitfire --------------> SPITFIRE
KRAZY CLIMBERS (C)opyright 1989 Page - 4

Batch Files
=================
Be sure that you have edited or created the KRAZY.CFG file with the correct
information as described earlier in these docs. The individual setups do not
repeat this necessary process.
Wildcat! 1.13 & 2.0+ Setup:
---------------------------
First, create your DOOR##.BAT (2.0+) or LIVE##.BAT (1.13) like this eample:
ECHO OFF
CD \WILDCAT\DOORS\KRAZY
KRAZY KRAZY.CFG
CD \WILDCAT
CAT.BAT
place this batch file in your Node# directory if running Multi-Nodes or in
your Wildcat (default) directory if single node.
Second, Create a sub-directory for the door program such as in the following
example:
C:\WILDCAT\DOORS\KRAZY
Third, put the KRAZY game files in the \WILDCAT\DOORS\KRAZY directory.
KRAZY CLIMBERS (C)opyright 1989 Page - 5
Forth, add this game to your live program menu for user selection and your
ready to run the door.
If this is a little unclear then please read your systems documentation for
more detailed instructions.
If you use a door monitoring program then read their documentation for
their specific setup.
Gap Setup:
----------
First, add the number and name of the door to your menu. This will allow the
user to select the door by number.
Second, edit or create the file called DOORS.DAT which is normally in the GEN
directory. Following is an example line to add:
KC 10
where 'KC' stands for the name of the batch file (shown below) to invoke the
the door and '10' is the required security level.
Third, create a sub-directory for KRAZY to be placed in. And example
would be:
C:\GAP\KRAZY
place all the files in the KRAZY.ZIP archive inside this directory.
Forth, create a batch file called KRAZY which should be placed in the
default directory. Following is example contents of this file:
ECHO OFF
CD\GAP\KRAZY
KRAZY KRAZY.CFG
CD\GAP
GAP
the last line in the KRAZY file should invoke the batch file which loads
the GAP BBS system.
If this is a little unclear then please read your systems documentation for
more detailed instructions.
If you use a door monitoring program then read their documentation for
their specific setup.
Spitfire Setup:
---------------
First edit your SFDOOR.MNU and add the following line. If you are not running
and doors at this time you will need to create this file.
KRAZY, 10
Where KRAZY is the name of the door to appear on your menu and the 10
is the lowest security level that will be allowed to enter the door. Don't
forget the comma (,) after the name.
KRAZY CLIMBERS (C)opyright 1989 Page - 6
Second create a sub-directory to place the door game in. In this example we
will use 'C:\SF\DOOR_A' for the game directory.
Third move all the files in the KRAZY.ZIP archive into this directory.
Forth edit your SF.BAT file adding the following lines.
:DOOR_A
CD\SF\DOORS_A
KRAZY KRAZY.CFG
CD\SF
GOTO LOOP
Fifth, rerun Sf.BAT and your ready to begin play.
If this is a little unclear then please read your systems documentation for
more detailed instructions.
If you use a door monitoring program then read their documentation for
their specific setup.
PCBoard 14.0+ Setup:
--------------------
First, edit your DOORS and DOORSG file so that it shows KRAZY with the door
number relating to it's position in DOORS.DAT.
Second, edit the DOORS.DAT file so that it includes KRAZY.
Third, create a sub-directory for KRAZY to be placed in. And example
would be:
C:\PCB\KRAZY
place all the files in the KRAZY.ZIP archive inside this directory.
Forth, create a batch file called KRAZY which should be placed in the
default directory. Following is example contents of this file:
ECHO OFF
CD\PCB\KRAZY
KRAZY KRAZY.CFG
CD\PCB
BOARD
the last line in the KRAZY file should invoke the batch file which loads
the PCboard BBS system.
If this is a little unclear then please read your systems documentation for
more detailed instructions.
If you use a door monitoring program then read their documentation for
their specific setup.
QuickBBS Setup:
---------------
First, add the game to your games menu and select the correct type for doors.
Second, create a sub-directory for the game and move all the files from the
zip file to this directory.
KRAZY CLIMBERS (C)opyright 1989 Page - 7
Third, the game reads the file DORINFOx.DEF. Where 'x' is the node number.
Since QuickBBS only supports one node at this time then this file should be
'DORINFO1.DEF'. This file's drive\path\filename should be on the third line
of the configuration file.
Note: It was told to me that the upcoming 3.0 version of QuickBBS will
support Multi-Nodes and that the 'DORINFOx.DEF' will be changed
to 'DORINFxx.DEF' to support Multi-Nodes. This game is written
where you can specify this new name as well as any others.
Forth, create a batch file called KRAZY which should be placed in the
default directory. Following is example contents of this file:
ECHO OFF
CD\QUICKBBS\KRAZY
KRAZY KRAZY.CFG
CD\QUICKBBS
QBBS.BAT
the last line in the KRAZY file should invoke the batch file which loads
the QuickBBS system.
If this is a little unclear then please read your systems documentation for
more detailed instructions.
If you use a door monitoring program then read their documentation for
their specific setup.
