Welcome to   K I N G D O M      
  
  This program is a modified version of EMPIRE.
It was written to run with the Greene Machine BBS under
NEWDOS 80. It can probably be modified to run under most
model 1/3 DOSes. I've been running it on my BBS for about
3 months with no major problems.
  
  The heart of the game is KINGDOM/BAS. This the main
program. Line 3120 is used to change the last caller
on the BBS, and set the last player to "NOBODY". This
is used when making changes and checking any problems
so you can run the game more than once without having
to log on over and over again. You will need to modify
your BBS to save a file on disk under the name of
"LASTCAL" which holds the name of the current caller
to your board. Also the length of the name must be 20
characters long, so add spaces if needed. 
 
  KINGDOM/DAT is the file that holds all the info on
the players, how much land, how many people, etc.
Use KINGINI/BAS to initialize a file. The game uses
the name "KINGDOM/DAT" as the data file but you can
change the name if you want. Make sure to change it
in KINGDOM/BAS to match the name.
 
  KINGUPD/BAS is the file used for accessing the players
info. There are a few things that this file doesn't show
such as how many investments they have. I didn't think that
it was necessary to show or change this info, however it
can be added quite easily.
  
  KINGCAL/TXT is a file just like LASTCAL. It holds a 20
character name of the last person to play the game. This 
keeps a single person from getting on the game and then
calling 50 times in an hour and killing everyone off. 
A player has to wait until another player has been into
the game until he can play again. 
 
  To run the program just have all files on the disk and
run KINGINI/BAS. For the filename use "KINGDOM/DAT". 
Answer "Y" to confirm. An Empty data file will be set up
on drive one and you will be all set, except for the
modifications to your BBS.
 
  These DOCS are real rough and were thrown together in
a matter of a few minutes. If you have any questions about
the game or want to try it out on-line call my BBS:
