One Armed Bandit - v1.5 - (C) 1993 Gerry Schechter

 Thank you for downloading this file to evaluate my program!

 One Armed  Bandit is  a PCBoard  PPE which  simulates the  playing of  a slot
 machine (a.k.a One Armed Bandit).  Here's how to install it.

 1) Copy all of the files from the .ZIP into a directory.

 2) Create an entry in your CMD.LST for ONE.PPE pointing to the directory.
    To set the number of turns per day, put the  number after  the entry  for
    ONE.PPE in your CMD.LST. For example, to set the number of turns to 50 per
    day, the CMD.LST would look like C:\PCB\PPL\ONE.PPE 50.

 3) If you want the program to create a bulletin of high scores, modify the
    sample ONE.BAT. If you do not want a bulletin created, delete ONE.BAT.

 4) If you want the program to run like a door, modify the sample ONEDOOR
    file then make the entries for running a Shell Door pointing to this file.

 This program  will create  a file  in the  same directory  as the  .PPE called
 ONE.DAT which  is the  file that  keeps track  of the  players.  It  will also
 create a file called ONE.BLT in that directory if you want a bulletin created.

 Notes: This copy is  an Unregistered Version.  It  is limited to 25  turns per
 day, and up to  10 users can play.   The registered version will  allow you to
 decide how many turns per day, and allow up to 50 users.  Please support  the
 Shareware concept if you continue to use this .PPE for more than 30 days!

 That's pretty much  it.  If you  have any questions,  comments, etc. on  this
 program, I can be reached on my BBS at (914) 964-0419 Hayes V.FC 28.8, or via
