   BIORHYTHMIC ANALYSIS is as easy to set up as are all B&D Software 
   door's! You should, however, be familiar with your BBS software 
   and how it runs external programs or "doors". Also, you should be 
   familiar with simple DOS commands like how to create a directory 
   and how to write a simple batch file. A sample batch file is 
   included in this package which should work with most BBS software 
   with very little modification.

   The following files should have been in this ZIP package when you
   received it:

   DESC.SDI             One line description of file
   DOOR.BAT             Sample batch file for running door
   BUGRPORT.FRM         Handy form for reporting bugs in program
   BETADIST.BBS         A list of all B&D Software Beta/Distribution Sites
   FILE_ID.DIZ          Complete description using BBS standard
   BIO_HELP.ANS    X    Instructions for using BIORHYTHMIC ANALYSIS
   REGISTER.FRM         A handy form for registering BIORHYTHMIC ANALYSIS
   BIOINTRO.ANS    X    Main Screen for BIORHYTHMIC ANALYSIS
   SYSOP.DOC            These documents for installing BIORHYTHMIC ANALYSIS
   BIORHYTH.EXE    X    BIORHYTHMIC ANALYSIS main executable
   BIO_DAYS.ANS    X    Screen for Daily Analyzation
   BIOMONTH.ANS    X    Screen for Monthly Analyzation
   BIO_WEEK.ANS    X    Screen for Weekly Analyzation
   BIO_MENU.ANS    X    ANSI for Main Menu

   Those files followed by an "X" should NOT be deleted from the directory.
   Any others may be at your own discretion. 

Installing BIORHYTHMIC ANALYSIS on your system:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   Create a Sub-directory under your DOORS directory (or where ever you
   have your external programs). Call this sub-directory BIORHYTH (or any
   other name of your choice). Place all the files that were in this ZIP
   package in that sub-directory.

   Edit BIORHYTH.CFG to reflect the following information:

   Line 1 > BBS Name
   Line 2 > SYSOP Name
   Line 3 > Door Donor's Name (if registered)
   Line 4 > Registration number

   Using the information for my BBS the BIORHYTH.CFG would look like this:

   Grass Roots
   Bill Hicks
   B&D Software
   1234567890

   OR! You can delete the file BIORHYTH.CFG and run BIORHYTH.EXE locally
   and you will be prompted for all pertinent data. When you register the
   door just delete the old BIORHYTH.CFG and re-run BIORHYTH.EXE!

   Next you will need to edit the DOOR.BAT provided. Here is how it works
   quite simply put:

   Line 1 > Turn the echo off
   Line 2 > Change to the drive on which the door is located
   Line 3 > Change to the door directory
   Line 4 > Execute BIORHYTH with the drive:\path\filename of the dropfile in
            the command line. If the dropfile is copied to the directory
            where BIORHYTHMIC ANALYSIS is executed then all you will need 
            is its name.
   Line 5 > Change back to the drive the BBS is on
   Line 6 > Change to the BBS directory
   Line 7 > Exit the batch file

   Here is the one I use on Grass Roots (provided as the sample DOOR.BAT):

   ECHO OFF
   C:
   CD \MAX\DOORS\BIORHYTH
   BIORHYTH.EXE C:\MAX\DOOR.SYS
   C:
   CD \MAX
   EXIT

   NOTICE: Some BBS software revolts at using the "EXIT" at the end of the
   batch file. Create it as your BBS documents direct.

   For a DORINFOn.DEF, CALLINFO.BBS, or other drop file simple change the
   command line following BIORHYTH.EXE to reflect the drive:\path\filename
   of the appropriate drop file.

   BIORHYTHMIC ANALYSIS  may be ran locally by simple typing BIORHYTH.EXE
   without a Command line added.


     I hope that you and your callers enjoy BIORHYTHMIC ANALYSIS, and that 
     you find it worthy of your support.  Please read the file REGISTER.FRM 
     for information on how to register your copy of BIORHYTHMIC ANALYSIS!
