              --=== WHAT SHOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT South B*R*O*N*X ===--

        South B*R*O*N*X is a Multi-node aware BBS "door" game product 
        designed specifically for use on any BBS software platform 
        and supports DOOR.SYS and other industry standard "drop files".  

        The games subject matter my not suit the theme of all BBS systems in 
        the Country <so be warned>!  This GAME does contain many references to 
        SEX, DRUGS, PROSTITUTION, VIOLENCE, DESTRUCTION OF THIRD PARTY 
        PROPERTY and MURDER (Incidentally these are also the 6 top reasons to 
        register this copy of South B*R*O*N*X) <grin>.  

        All kidding aside, let's move on ...
        
            
                            --=== REQUIREMENTS ===--
                               
        You will need an IBM or Compatible type PC 286/386/486/Pentium etc...
        and a BBS platform on which to "run" the game.  This door has been 
        tested on a WILDCAT! BBS, but I understand that it will also operate 
        on PC Board, Spitfire, Searchlight, Tribbs, RBBS, WWIV, Gap, Synchronet, Renegade,
        Remote Access, Proboard, and other BBS platforms capable or running a 
        "DOOR".  

        You will also require approx 480K of free memory for the game to 
        operate, otherwise you will get an error message saying OUT of STACK
        SPACE when attempting to run the game.

        SHARE must also be loaded as South B*R*O*N*X supports Multi-line
        operation.
  

                            --=== INSTALLATION ===--        

        I assume that you are familiar with your BBS software enough that I do
        not have to explain in detail the steps involved to getting this door 
        installed. 

        For those who wish to use it - this product is shipped with an Install
        utility (SETUP.exe) that will assist you with the installation of South 
        B*R*O*N*X on your BBS. 
 
        The install program was not designed to be a 100% solution to getting 
        South B*R*O*N*X fully operational on your system, but, will act as an 
        aid and hopefully make things a bit easier on you.  

        
                           --=== USING THE SETUP.EXE ===--

        After unzipping the contents of BRONX.zip (if compressed) from DOS
        type Setup at the prompt.  If your South B*R*O*N*X files came on a 
        diskette i.e: directly from Revolving Door Software then type SETUP
        from the A:\ prompt.

        The SETUP utility will ask you some questions about your BBS set-up
        and prompt you for certian paths it needs to know for proper setup 
        of the game.              

        1)    Drive letter where BBS software is installed (most cases C:)
        
        2)    The path to your DOOR directory (where you want the game files
              copied to) we suggest you make a Doors subdiectory off of your 
              BBS software i.e: C:\wildcat\doors 
        
              And so on ....  
                            


                          --=== MANUAL INSTALLATION ===--

        For those who would prefer to use the fully manual method of game 
        installation I have I have provided "detailed" and "commented" 
        examples of both a BRONX.BAT file (called example.bat) for calling
        the door, and an example .CFG file (example.cfg).  A copy of a 
        BRONX.DEF file has also been provided <see your BRONX game Dir for 
        these files>.  Again all have been commented for your convienience.
        If you happen to be running your BBS under MajorBBS or WorldGroup        
        software - there are also "special" doc's for you to read 
        <see readme.1st> for more info. 


STEP 1) Make a directory for the game, I suggest C:\wildcat\doors\bronx 
                                                       | 
                                    MAIN BBS DIR------ | 

STEP 2) Copy ALL of the files provided on this disk into this dir <see above>. 
If you received your copy of South B*R*O*N*X in a zipped format i.e: Bronx.zip 
then UNZIP them into the directory stated above.

STEP 3) Modify the Example.bat <as required> and move it into your 
        C:\wildcat\batch  directory or equiv.

STEP 4) Modify the Example.cfg <as required> and then rename it to BRONX.CFG
        then modify the BRONX.def file <leave both of these in the BRONX
        game directory (as suggested in Step 1).
         
STEP 5) Modify your BBS software to include B*R*O*N*X as an available on-
        line game and assign access rights to it <see your BBS Software
        Manual> for more details. 

STEP 6) Edit your BBS display file using THE DRAW or equiv. and add 
        South B*R*O*N*X to the available doors list - so callers know its 
        now ONLINE. 

STEP 7) Log on to your BBS system and attempt to run the game from your 
        Doors menu.  If everything has been setup correctly <and I'm
        sure it has> South B*R*O*N*X will start building some Player Databases
        (this process usually takes 1-3 mins) and you will see it doing it.
        
        Start a GANG and tour the game! 


                        --=== OTHER B*R*O*N*X INFO ===-- 

        South B*R*O*N*X can read the following drop files, DOOR.SYS,
        PCBOARD.SYS, USERS.SYS, USERINFO.DEF, DORINFOx.DEF, CALLINFO.BBS,
        SFDOORS.DAT, however, the use of DOOR.SYS is recomended.

        You can also run the program locally after installation by typing 
        "BRONX LOCAL" from your BRONX Dir i.e: 
         
                      C:\WILDCAT\DOORS\BRONX>BRONX LOCAL

       
                           --=== HINTS & TIPS ===--

  1)  Set up a Message Area for GAME players to share info on your BBS about      
      South B*R*O*N*X <very important>
  2)  Pay the POLICE ($400 is a good start) doing so reduces your chances of 
      getting busted.             
  3)  Buy a decent weapon as soon as possible at Ed's Quick Store.
  4)  Keep a notebook handy ! <for makin' notes> you may need them later.
  5)  That's all I'm willing to devluge - HAVE FUN !
