Deluxe HiLo
By Chuck Valecek
Copyrighted 1994 by Suburban Software
Deluxe Hilo is a game of chance. The game consists of a deck of 52 cards and
one Joker. The object of the game is to place a wager that the next card will
be either Higher or Lower than the current card shown on the screen. The user
may bet any amount up to his/her current winnings, half or all of it.
The only catch to the game is the Joker. If the joker appears the player
loses his/her entire winnings.
The game supports all major BBS's software packages, Non-standard
inerrupts, Comm portst 1-15 and Fossil Drivers.
That's about it for the door operation. It's simple yet fun!

NOTE: This Door supports COM 1-15 on the standard IRQ's - COM1/COM3 = IRQ4 and
COM2/COM4 = IRQ3. If you wish to use a non-standard IRQ, add the IRQ
number after the configuration filename. Let's assume your Door is
called DHILO and you want to use COM1 and IRQ5. The command line
passed to your Door would be:
DHILO DHILO.CFG /5
or DHILO DHILO.CFG /%IRQ% for the environment variable.
The /5 tells the Door to use IRQ5 rather than the standard IRQ4 that
is normally used with COM1. No /x parameter is needed for the standard
IRQ's.
NOTE: You may also use the * instead of the / when specifying a
non-standard comm port, Example: *5 or *%IRQ%
Fossil Driver Support
---------------------
DHILO supports the use of Fossil drivers. To tell the 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:
DHILO DHILO.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.
The firtst time the door is run a file called DHILO.BUL will be created.
Edit the first line of this file and place the Path/File name of the Bulletin
you wish to be created. This will contain the Top Ten Current High Winners
DHILO.BLT <=- Change this line to your bulletin Name
0 ,NO NAME
0 ,NO NAME
0 ,NO NAME
0 ,NO NAME
0 ,NO NAME
0 ,NO NAME
0 ,NO NAME
0 ,NO NAME

And you thought it was hard!
Okay, now to set up a batch file for the door to run. Remember this is just like
any other batch file except there is no ".BAT" extension.
Door batch File
The standard DOOR script for doors has this format:
echo off
cd \DHILO
DHILO DHILO.CFG
cd \
board
If you have an idea that you would like to see turn into a door. Drop me a
line and we can discuss your ideas. And maybe turn it into a door!!
REGISTRATION
If you wish to register the door it would be greatly appreciated. For a
mere $20.00 you can get rid of that stupid message <EVALUATION COPY> and
$$$$ Please help the sysop Register this door $$$
I will contact you by BBS or mail you the registration number. This number
will turn off the messages and allow your BBS name to be displayed on the
opening and closing screens. This door is not Crippled in any way or form
and will run forever even if you did not register it. All monies received go
back to other Door Authors for their doors that run on my system.
I always have a open door for sysops on my board. Sign in and go into my
Support Confrence and you will find the latest version of my doors there
for downloading.
Please if you have a problem with setting it up or find a bug (?) Don't
call Salt Air and gripe about it, call my board and you will get a FASTER
response. I know there are some Sysops out there that can vouch for this. I
called many Sysops voice and tried to help them out at my expense, even before
they registered the door.
If you are a Author of a door and want to exchange registered copies let
me know. We can work out something!! I may even throw my kids into the deal!
OH! One more thing. If you have any suggestions, please drop me a line. Please
direct all complaints about the door to my wife, I am trying to get even with
here!!!
Okay here is the address to send the MILLIONS!!
