     BRUN45.EXE Runtime Module File (Needed for he program to run)

     BBS that makes one of the following Drop File's

          CALLINFO.BBS
          DOOR.SYS

        This program has been tested on the following systems :
        -------------------------------------------------------

          WILDCAT 2.x and 3.x,
          Gap v4.0 and greater,
          PcBoard v14.0 or greater,
          QuickBBS v2.6 thru v2.75,
          Remote Access (All Versions),
          SuperBBS (All Versions)

     For other BBS's not mentioned, there are MANY door
     conversion utilities available.

     This door will also run under Desqview.



                       Installation Of The Door :
                       ==========================

     Step One :
     ----------
     
     First create a directory for the program and place all the files into
     that directory.

     i.e.  C:\WILDCAT\DOOR\WORD     (whatever your DOOR directory will be)

     
     Step Two :
     ----------

     Use the install program to configure the configuration file to meet 
     your specifications.


     Contents Of The Configuration File :
     ------------------------------------

     Line one is the path to your door,  which should be the same as the path
     you created in STEP ONE.

     Line two is the name of your BBS.

     Line three MUST be left alone.  It should be set to 0 (zero).

     Line four is the name that you use on your BBS.

     Line five is where you specify if you are running at Lock Baud or not.  
     If you are running Lock Baud then enter the Baud Rate... i.e. 9600, 19200,   
     etc.... Or enter 0 (zero) for none.

     Line six is where you specify what type of BBS you are running.  

          WC2 - Wildcat 2.x  (CALLINFO.BBS)
          WC3 - Wildcat 3.x  (DOOR.SYS)
          GAP - Gap Systems  (DOOR.SYS)
          Dorinfo#.def - QBBS, RA, RBBS  (DORINFO#.DEF)
          The # is replaced with the numerical value for the Dorinfo drop file

     Line seven is where you let the game know how many categories you
     will have.

     Line eight is where you tell the game if the missed word is to be
     displayed to the user.


     Line nine is where you specify what the ansi file path and name will be 
     for the TOP 10 Bulletin.

     Line ten is where you specify what the ascii file path and name will be
     for the TOP 10 Bulletin.

     Line eleven is the time you wish to specify allowed for a user to
     try and guess the word.
     


    
     Here is the completed file :
     ----------------------------

     C:\WILDCAT\DOOR\WORD
     The Lighthouse BBS
     0
     Danny Davis
     19200 or 0 (zero) for none
     WC3
     10
     Y
     C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULL1.ANS
     C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULL1.ASC
     1.50


                           BBS Batch Files :
                           =================

     WILDCAT 2.X (CALLINFO.BBS) :
     ----------------------------

     CD\WILDCAT\DOOR\WORD
     COPY C:\WILDCAT\CALLINFO.BBS
     WORD
     WORDBULL
     CD\WILDCAT
     CAT

     CALLINFO.BBS has to be copied to the game path.  If it doesn't find the 
     CALLINFO.BBS file then it will exit back to the BBS.  Will also show the
     user a error code.

     WILDCAT 3.X (DOOR.SYS) :
     ------------------------

     This will run the same as above except instead of copying CALLINFO.BBS 
     you'll copy the DOOR.SYS file.

     QuickBBS & DORINFO#.DEF  (a Type 15 for QuickBBS) :
     ---------------------------------------------------

     You may specify up to nine different DORINFO#.DEF's by using the 
     install program.

     D:
     CD\DOORS\WORD
     COPY C:\QBBS\DORINFO2.DEF
     WORD
     WORDBULL
     C:
     CD\QBBS
     GOTO RESTART
     
     DORINFO#.DEF has to be copied to the game path.  If it doesn't find the 
     DORINFO file,  then it will exit back to the BBS.

     To run a type 7 (for QuickBBS),  simply put the WORD.BAT file in the
     QuickBBS directory,  using "*C /C WORD.BAT" in the optional data line in
     the type 7 menu.  (there are other ways to do it,  this is the easiest).


     GAP and PCBOARD :
     -----------------

     C:
     CD\DOOR\WORD
     COPY C:\GAP\DOOR.SYS
     WORD
     WORDBULL
     CD\GAP
     GAP


                             Maintenance :
                             -------------

        Also enclosed is a maintenance file that needs to be ran
        once a day to keep the player.dat file clean.  By passing 
        a number value from 8-30 you can specify how many days you 
        will allow a user to stay in the door before being deleted.

        i.e. "MAINT 17"   this allows 17 days before a player is  
                          deleted for non-use

                               WORDBULL :
                                --------
        This file can be ran each time the door is exited or as a
        nightly event. I recommend after the door exits.  It will
        make a ANSI and a ASCII Bulletin from the information you 
        specify in your installation module.

                     Page and Comm Control Files :
                     -----------------------------
         Read the PAGE.CTL and COMM_IRQ.CTL files and configure it 
         to meet your needs.

                              Local Mode :
                              ------------
         To run the game in LOCAL mode just type /LOCAL after the 
         WORD.EXE on the command line "WORD /LOCAL".



                           Multi - Line BBS :
                           ------------------
         Well this is a rather simple task.  When you run the install
         program you can pick upto 4 different configuration files.
         To run this door as a multi door all you need to do is place
         the following statement:

                WORD WORD1.CNF

             And so on for the rest of the configuration files.  The
             reason for this is so you may specify the different
             LOCKBAUD rates for each node.


                             Support BBS :
                             -------------

                              209-442-8329
