                                OVERVIEW
                                ________

        THIS FILE MAY NOT BE DISTRIBUTED WITH THE "AV" MISSING!

        This ZIP file was created using the -AV function of PKZIP.  If
        my AV is missing then this file may not be complete of has been
        tampered with.  Complete and current editions of this program
        are always available for D/L on The Parole Board BBS.  If the AV
        is missing please complain to your sysop to stop the practice of
        removing AV's as this is your assurance from the programmer that
        the file is complete and virus free.


                              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
   are described.

      1) Create a directory to hold all SEX TRIVIA files and also create
         a sub-dir above the SEX dir named \SCREENS.  Place the files in
         the SCREENS.ZIP archive into this directory.  SEXTRV.EXE will
         also create a directory named \USERS when it is run for the
         first time.  SEX TRIVIA will create a file named PLAYER.DAT in
         this directory will all the players information.

      2) Unzip SEXTRVxx.ZIP into the above directory.  Run INSTALL.BAT.

      3) Create a configuration file, with a name of your choice, or
         modify the  SEXTRV.CFG file that is enclosed.
         A description follows:



   C:\WILDCAT\CALLINFO.BBS Ŀ  <- For Wildcat! 2.x
   C:\WC30\USERINFO.DAT        <- For Wildcat! 3.0 (NOTE: point to NODEx dir)
   C:\PCB\PCBOARD.SYS          <- For PCBoard using PCBOARD.SYS only
   C:\PCB\USERS                <- For PCBoard using USERS only
   C:\BBS\GTUSER.BBS           <- For GT Power systems
   C:\BBS\DOOR.SYS             <- For Systems that support DOOR.SYS (WC!4.x)
   C:\BBS\DORINFOx.DEF         <- For QBBS/RBB/RA.  Replace x with Node #.
   C:\BBS\TRIBBS.SYS           <- For TriBBS
   C:\BBS\SFDOORS.DAT        <- For Spitfire
   The Parole Board BBS         <- Your BBS Name
   Dennis                       <- SysOp's First Name
   Maidon                       <- SysOp's Last Name

     Edit this .CFG file to suit your individual BBS.  All 4 lines MUST
     be present.

   Line 1:  This line points to where SEXTRV.EXE will find the callers
            information file.  Just include the line that your particular
            BBS uses.  DO NOT put all of them in the CFG file.

   Line 2:  Place the name of your BBS on this line.

   Line 3:  SysOp's first name goes here.

   Line 4:  SysOp's last name goes here.

===========================

   Create a file named SEXTRV.SYS and place it in the door directory.

                DO NOT RENAME THIS FILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   C:\WC\BULL\BULL1.SCR         <- Path and Name of Color Bulletin
   C:\WC\BULL\BULL1.BBS         <- Path and Name of ASCii Bulletin
   125                          <- Minimum security level allowed in door.
   25                           <- Minimum questions needed to be scored.
   YES                          <- (Y/N) Create LOG file
   00000                        <- Registration Number
   35                           <- Max. questions allowed per visit to door
   N                            <- WC=WC!3.x  PCB=PCBoard  N=ANSI/ASCii
   2                            <- Max plays per day
   RIP                          <- "RIP" = Rip bulls  "N" = no Rip bulls
   12                           <- Max time allowed on each question
   21                           <- Minimum age allowed to access door.

   Line 1:  Enter the complete path and name of the ANSI bulletin that
            you want SEX TRIVIA to create.  This is also the line where
            you will list the name of the bulletin to be created if you
            select WC! or PCBoard bulls by placing a "WC" OR "PCB"in
            Line 12.

   Line 2:  Enter the complete path and name of the ASCii bulletin that
            you want SEX TRIVIA to create.

   Line 3:  The minimum security level that is allowed in the door.

   Line 4:  Minimum number of questions needed to be scored.

   Line 5:  YES to create .LOG log or leave blank

   Line 6:  Your Registration Number goes here if registered

   Line 7:  The maximum number of questions that the user is allowed per
            visit to the door.  There are only 200 questions so if you
            want the users to be able to answer all of them at one time,
            put 200 in this line.

   Line 8:  This line is the switch for the type of bulletins that you
            would like created.  Place  "WC" for WC!3.x bulletins, "PCB"
            for PCBoard color coded bulls and a "N" for ANSI & ASCii
            bulletins.  If you used the WC or PCB, make sure that you
            use the ".BBS" filename extension for Line 5.  You may leave
            line 6 blank, but it must still be in the CFG file.

   Line 9:  Maximum number of plays allowed each day.

   Line 10: Place "RIP" to create RIP style bulletins.  "N" = no RIP
            bulls.

   Line 11: Maximum time users are allowed to answer each question.

   Line 12: Minimum age allowed to access door.  Place a "0" to disable
            this feature.

            WARNING:  This feature WILL NOT work with all BBS softwares.
                      Make sure that you check it out first.

        If you use the above CFG file be sure to remove all remarks and use
   a pure ASCII editor such as EDLIN or QEDIT.  Hidden control codes could
   cause the program to depart for worlds unknown.

      4) Create a batch file or modify the DOOR.BAT file supplied. A
         description of this file follows:

            ECHO OFF
            CD \DOORS\SEX           Location of   SEX TRIVIA files
            SEXTRV SEXTRV.CFG       EXE filename and CFG filename

       5) When running in more than one node, be sure to supply a
          different configuration name for each node (your choice of name).

          EX: SEXTRV1.CFG  SEXTRV2.CFG

          SEX TRIVIA has been tested under LIVECAT! and performs very well.



NOTE: DoorFrame supports COM 1-4 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 FOOBAR and you want to use COM1 and IRQ5. The command line
      passed to your Door would be:

        FOOBAR FOOBAR.CFG /5
        FOOBAR FOOBAR.CFG *5

      The /5 tells DoorFrame to use IRQ5 rather than the standard IRQ4 that
      is normally used with COM1. No /x parameter is needed for the standard
      IRQ's.

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
     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.

Environment Variables
---------------------
DoorFrame supports COM 1-4 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 FOOBAR and you want to use COM1 and IRQ5. The command line
passed to your Door would be:
    FOOBAR FOOBAR.CFG /5  or
    FOOBAR FOOBAR.CFG /%IRQ%  for the environment variable.
The /5 tells DoorFrame to use IRQ5 rather than the standard IRQ4 that
is normally used with COM1. No /x parameter is needed for the standard IRQ's.

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

LOCAL: To run SEX TRIVIA locally, type "SEXTRV LOCAL" at the DOS prompt.
       You must run INSTALL.BAT or install SEXTRV first so that all the
       files will be in their proper place.

 

      Be sure to read all the READ.ME, README.1ST AND UPGRADE.DOC files
if they are included in the package.  They sometimes contain some very
useful information. <G>  Of course you can do like me, just set the darn
thing up without the docs then fuss at the door author for not making it
simple enough to work the first time.

     If you have a problem, make sure that you ran the INSTALL.BAT when
first setting up the door. If you didn't, don't call me for support.  Be
sure and read the ERROR.QB file before calling.  It could save the cost
of a long distance call.

     If you have to call for support, don't just say I am getting an
error.  I need *DETAILS* as to when and how the error is occuring.  I
also need a COPY of you CFG file.  Make sure that you attach it to a msg
and not include it in the message.

      When a user first log onto 'SEX TRIVIA' the program checks his
security level to make sure that he has a high enough level to enter the
door.

UPDATES:  Once registered, updates to the DOS version of Sex Trivia are
          free as long as I own the rights to the door.  The only cost
          is the costs you incur in downloading the door.
