         -----------------------------------------------------

     If you have never set up a door, please read the Door setup
information in the Wildcat!5  manual. I do not have the time to
help you in that matter.  I will only tell you to read the
documentation.  If you do not know how to set up a door on your
BBS, don't ask me for help.

-----------------------------------------------------

On occasion, you may receive a message from OLt/32(c)
showing that it is from a User.  The Door utilizes the User
name so that you will know who was in the door at the
time and had the problem.  It is merely a debugging tool
for your use.


List of Files:

OLT Instructions.BBS

	The display screen that the user sees when selection the "I" option
from the Main Menu.  This file is placed in the door directory.  You may
edit this file as you see fit.

OLT Options Menu.BBS

	This is the Main Menu for OLT/32.  Place this file in the door
directory.   You may edit this file as long as it stays the same
physical size.

Online Trivia Question Database.Data

	The questions database file for OLT/32.  DO NOT edit this file.  I
will be providing a means to edit this file at a later date. This file
must go in the door directory.

Online Trivia.Config

	This is the configuration file.  You must edit this file to suit
your particular BBS.  See the SETUP section for details on configuring
this file.  This file must go in the door directory.

Online Trivia.Wcx

	The executable.  This file goes in the WC5 directory.

SysOp.Doc

	This file.

Welcome.BBS

	The welcome screen for the door.  This file must be placed in the
door directory.  This file may be edited as long as the Copyright
information and PAROLE Software is retained.

OLT_Help.Zip

	This the file that the user downloads when  the "D" option is
selected from the Main Menu. This file must go in the door directory.





SETUP:

	The SETUP.ZIP contained in this archive should be unarchived with a
program that can handle Long file names  (LFN).  Failure to do so will
truncate the filenames and they must be renamed before OLT/32(c) will
function.

	Create a directory to hold the files in the SETUP.ZIP archive.


	If you have or are running more that one PAROLE Software 32-bit
door, you way wish to create a directory named "PAROLE" to hold all the
doors.  Create a separate subdirectory to hold each individual door.

	UnZIP the contents of the SETUP.ZIP  to this directory.  Move the
"Online Trivia.Wcx" to the Wildcat!5 root directory.

	Edit the "Online Trivia.Config" file for your particular BBS setup.
The Configuration file contains 5 lines.  All five lines must be
present.  You may leave the line descriptions in the file as the door
will only read the first five lines

No one will have access to the door until you set these options.






	To insure proper operation on a network, drives must be mapped to
the same drive letter for each computer in the system.

Scoring:

Users get 7 points for each correct answer and lose 3 points for each
incorrect answer.

BONUS SCORING:  Players are allowed a specific time limit for each
questions.  For each correct answer, players receive 1 BONUS point for
each second under the time limit.    For instance, the SysOp has defined
a 15 second time limit per question.  The user answers the question in 5
seconds.  He will receive 7 points for the correct answer and 10 BONUS
points (15 seconds - 5 seconds).  For each incorrect answer, a penalty
of 1 second will be assessed for each second over the maximum time limit
to a maximum penalty of 50 points per question.

Updates:

The doors in the 32-bit line from PAROLE Software are a separate line that the DOS versions and 
will be maintained as such.  Once you register on of the wcCode doors, updates are free as long as I own 
the rights to the doors.   Registration will get you a serial number that will ONLY work with the 32-Bit door.  
It will NOT work with the DOS version.
If you have registered the DOS version of this door, you may switch to the 32-Bit line for $5.00.  
This will grant you license to run the 32-Bit as well as the DOS version.  If you have not previously 
registered the DOS version, you may register the one that suits your needs.  See the enclosed 
REGISTER.TXT for  details
