  SysOp Information:

  (A note about program performance)
  This Program does extensive Disk Reading and Writing to manage the
  database files.  A slow Computer with a slow hard-drive will often
  have a few hesitations in the program execution.  For optimum performance
  the following type of Computer (or better) is recommended.
       386 16Mhz  w/ 2 meg ram
       (at least 128k free extended/expanded memory)
       SmartDrv.exe or equivalent disk caching driver loaded.

       (Don't try to run this from a floppy.)


  BBS SQ2112 Should Run on almost any BBS.. given the right data
  in the configuration file..

       The Following Files Should be in the same directory as SQ2112.EXE :

                     SQ2112.CFG   <---- Modify this file for your BBS.
                     SQ2112.DOC   <---- The file your reading now.
                     SQ2112.EMU   <---- Ansi Protocol for SQ2112.
                     SQ2112.EXE   <---- Main Executable file.
                     SQ2112.SCR   <---- Graphic screen for SQ2112.
                     SQ2112.INS   <---- Instruction for the game.
                     SqEvent.Exe  <---- Maintenence Program for the game.
                     Genesis.Exe  <---- Required for initial setup.
                                        (Universe Creation Program)
                     9 - Ansi Files with data for the planets, ships etc.
                     Setup.EXE    <---- Setup/Install utility program.

    Plus Several DataBase Files that Are created after you run Genesis.exe.


    Running Genesis:
         Right After Installing this door,  You will Need to  Initialize
         The Universe,  by running Genesis.exe from the dos prompt or
         by choosing the "GAME RESET" option from the setup program. If
         you don't do this, the universe will be empty and will make the
         game extremely boring and unpredicatable results could occur.

    Running SqEVENT:
         This is Not Entirely necessary, however planets get restocked
         and various other maintenence events will be taken care of by
         this program. Simply install it into your Nightly Event.  Be
         sure that you have the SqEvent.exe file in your sq2112 directory
         and that you change to that directory to run it..

       [example batch for the maintenence program:]
         cd\doors\sq2112
         sqevent.exe               {No Parameters are necessary}


 Running BBS SQ2112 in Local mode :

     You may run BBS SQ2112 in the Local mode by typing the following
     at the DOS prompt  ex.    C:\Sq2112\>SQ2112 Your Name ;
     or from the setup.exe menu.

   Note : if any parameters are passed to SQ2112 it will assume Local
          Mode and won't use the modem at all.

    Another way to run local from your BBS is use the Dorinfo1.def door
   file or another door file that indicates local by writing 'COM0' to the
   door file. When SQ2112 reads the door file it searches for 'COM0'.
   if it finds 'COM0', It will assume the local mode.



 Running BBS SQ2112 on your BBS :

       To run BBS SQ2112 on your BBS you will need to know what your
       BBS uses as a user file that is "DORINFO1.DEF", "CALLINFO.BBS"
       "USERFILE" etc..  If you don't Know What line numbers that your
       userfile uses for User's first names and Last names and Baud
       Rates, You'll need to look at them using a text editor and figure
       out which line has this information..

       If your userfile is not a text file, that is, a binary file or
       or something else then you might try using QKDOOR.EXE to convert
       your user file into a text type file.

       If your userfile has a Time left line and a Time Limit Line
       then BBS SQ2112 will use that information if you tell it
       where to find it..



       BBS SQ2112 Now supports Systems that use Chain.Txt user file.
       for reading the amount of time a user has left..(in Seconds)
       check out the SQ2112.Cfg file for more info.

       Use Setup.exe program that comes with the SQ2112 package.
       Simply plug in the appropriate information, set up your batch file
       or whatever it is that you do to run a door.. and your all set.

       If You have Registered BBS SQ2112 with the Author (me), It is very
       important to make sure that the upper and lower case letters are
       correct in your registration number.

       BBS SQ2112 will detect a Carrier Loss and return to the system.
       It will update the player's status in the player data file, So
       dropping  carrier won't undo any monetary losses etc...
