Version 1.02-MBBS 6.25/WG 1/2/WG 3 DOS/WG 3 NT (23 Jul 1997)
------------------------------------------------------------

A.  BUG FIXES/REPORTS
=====================


B.  NEW/REVISED COMMANDS
========================

  RESET    : A new menu option to reset the high score file has been added
             to the Yahtzee A/A game menu.  This menu item will display for
             MASTER key holders as well as holders of the key named in Level
             4 CNF option RESETKEY.  This will allow non-Sysop class users
             to be given game moderator powers to reset the game.

             The C/S version already has this option as Sysop/Reset High
             Scores in the Menu Tree.

             Resetting the High Score file has the effect of instantly
             removing all previous high scores.  It will not affect a game
             in progress during the reset which will be recorded normally
             when completed.


Key: [] = required parameter
     <> = optional parameter
