Introduction
------------

  Sometimes it's nice to gently correct a user who's been slightly
  annoying without alienating and angering them.  The MajorBBS Jail
  provides just that, a light-hearted approach to correctional
  punishment.  This way, the problem is handled and everyone leaves
  in a good mood.  It also adds a bit of mystery to your system as
  rumors circulate that you have the only BBS in town with an
  on-line dungeon!

  To toss someone in the clink, type

     /ARREST  <userid>

  to left them out type:

     /PARDON  <userid>

  Optionally you can allow a user to escape from his cell into
  a multi-room dungeon by using a CNF configurable keyword.
  By default this keyword is "DIG" and can be changed from BBS
  menu option 4. If you don't want anyone to be able to escape
  just set this to some random collection of letters.

  The registered version offers an escape into multi-room dungeon.
  There he can interact with other users who have also escaped from
  their cell and by finding the "KEY" he can use it to escape the jail
  altogether.

  The BBS Jail is distributed as "Shareware" for the MajorBBS.
  Feel free to make copies of the program for fellow SysOps.
  If you find this module useful and wish to support the shareware
  concept, I hope you will become a registered user.
  Some benefits for the registered version:

       (1) receive a copy of the latest Shareware version.

       (2) Users can escape into a multi-room dungeon where they can:
           * Interact with other prisoners.
           * Help other prisoners escape.
           * Collect various items.
           * Escape from the jail back to the main menu.

       (3) receive a warm fuzzy feeling for supporting shareware.

       (4) I won't throw you in jail when you log on to my bbs.
