E-Z Bingo v1.5
<c> 1992,1993 by Bob DaCastello
Welcome to E-Z Bingo!
Sysop Documentation
Introduction:
So you want to play a good game of Bingo huh? You really think you can
beat the odds? You will be playing against a Surfer Dude, a Little Old
Lady, some of the finest Royalty around and more!
E-Z Bingo supports most BBS drop files.
Hardware requirements:
Any IBM machine with DOS 3.1 or better should work just fine. Color
monitor prefered but not required. Fossil driver such as BNU or X00
is also highly recommended.
E-Z Bingo has been tested using DOS 3.3, DOS 5.0, DOS 6.0, Lantastic,
Novel, DV, QEMM, on machines ranging from XT's to 486's.
About 140k of memory is required.
Legalities:
This software and accompanying materials are distributed "as is"
without warranty, express, implied or statutory, including but not
limited to any implied warranties of merchantability and fitness
for a particular purpose. In no event shall anyone involved with
the creation and production of this product be liable for indirect,
special, or consequential damages, arising out of any use thereof
or breach of any warranty. In addition, by placing this software
upon your BBS system for use by any other person(s) or entities,
you have agreed to register this program within 30 days of
installation.
Distribution:
You may make this file available for downloading from your BBS or you may
upload it to any BBS of your choice, provided that you do not make any
changes to the contents of the archive. The archive and its individual
contents may not be used by any service that charges any money whatsoever,
without the written permission of the author.
Files included:
EZBING.EXE Main program
EZBSETUP.EXE Setup program
EZBING.DOC What your reading now
LW_REG.FRM Registration form for ALL LlanoWare Doors
FILE_ID.DIZ Well, you need to know what the file is, right?
LW_AD.COM Brighten things up and take a look! :{)
One other file will be created the first time you run E-Z Bingo
LWBING.DAT Data file that contains the winners..
Installation:
Installation is fairly easy and straight-forward. The following steps and
examples should have you up and running in a very short period of time.
It is assumed that you are familiar with setting up DOORS on your system.
To this end, only examples of the configuration file and Door batch file
(if required by your BBS software) are described.
1) Create a directory to hold all E-Z Bingo files. (If your also
running E-Z Bingo, you may use the same directory for E-Z Bingo)
2) Un-archive the E-Z Bingo files into the E-Z Bingo directory.
3) Run EZBSETUP to create your configuration files.
If you are running multiline, answer the second question with
the node number that your setting up, if your running single
line, answer it with 1.
Be sure to answer ALL questions!
Enter a "0" when asked for registration number if you have not
yet registered.
A file called EZBINGx.CTL will be created for each node.
^-node number
Running E-Z Bingo:
A sample batch file will be created for you, if you so choose.
Here is a simple batchfile for running single node:
c:
cd \bbs\ezbing
ezbing 1 <-- means to use EZBING1.CTL
c:
cd \bbs
Here is a simple batchfile for running multi node:
c:
cd \bbs\ezbing
ezbing %1 <-- the %1 needs to be passed by your BBS
c: software as a command line variable.
cd \bbs\node%1
To run E-Z Bingo locally, cd to the EZBING dir and run EZBING with
a /L. ie: EZBING /L You will be prompted for the name
you wish to use.
Multinode notes:
E-Z Bingo is multinode aware. If another node tries to use the door while
someone else is already in, they will be notified that the door is in use
and by what node # and user name. E-Z Bingo will support up to 99 nodes.
Registration benefits:
First and foremost, knowing that you have supported the author so he can
continue his work! Besides that, the nagging "Unregistered" message goes
away and your users will then be shown that you support shareware! Once
registered, you will be able to configure the starting number of turns.
Turns default to 4 turns per day when unregistered.
How to register:
For a $10.00 donation sent to the address below, you will be given a
registration number personalized just for you! If you have a valid
FIDONET address, the registration number will be sent to you directly.
Otherwise, the registration number will be sent to you via snailmail
(US Postal service). All registrations will be sent out within
3 days of receipt. See LW_REG.FRM for more info.
