X
X*.MAR        - These are the MACRO source files for some subroutines which
X               are needed by BOSS.PAS.  Note that these are identical to the
X               macro files from MORIA.  These 11 files require about 30k of
X               storage`20
X
X*.DAT        - A set of data files that the program uses when it runs.
X`09       All data files must have appropriate world

X
X
XInstallation:
X-------------
X
XOk.  Now that you know what everything is, here's what you do next:
X
X1) Move to the `5B.boss.dat`5D directory and run the CLEANLOG.COM
X   file to create a blank playlog.  Type "@cleanlog"
X
X2) Move back to your `5B.boss`5D directory and type "@build macros" to creat
Ve
X   the macro library (the machine language patches to BOSS).
X
X3) Type "@build" to compile the entire program.  Sit back and wait.  This
X   takes a while.  There should be one warning from the compiler that you
X   can ignore, and one from the linker as well.  Don't sweat it, we don't.
X
X4) Edit STARTUP.COM to correctly define "datadir" and "bossdir" up at the to
Vp.
X
X5) Run the program once and it will create several other data
X   files that you need.  Just type "@startup" and let it go!
X
X6) Now you need to set the protections on all the files as listed above.
X   If you don't know how to do this, type "help set protection" and learn.
X   Another method of setting protections is by using acl's.  SETACLS.COM is
X   an example of how protections could be set up.  Type "help set/acl"
X   for more information.
X
X7) Inform your users of what you've done.  Have them put the line:
X
X     $ boss :== @your_disk:`5Byour_directory.boss`5Dstartup.com
X
X   in their LOGIN.COM files.  Obviously, you have to replace "your_disk"
X   and "your_directory" with the appropriate values which you can find by
X   typing "show default".  This way, they'll be able to just type "boss"
X   at the command line to run the program.  If they have a save file, they
X   just type its name in after: "boss cool_wrestler.sav"
X
X8) If you have any major problems with the above or suggestions
X   on how to improve this system, feel free to mail us.

X`20
X2 Armor-Class
X     Armor class is a number that describes the  amount  and  the
Xquality of armor begin worn.  Armor class will generally run from
Xabout 0 to 100, but could become negative or greater  than 100 in
Xsome cases.                                           `20
X`20
X     The larger your armor class, the more protective it  is.   A
Xnegative  armor  class  would  actually  help get you hit.  Armor
Xprotects you in three manners.  One, it makes you  harder  to  be
Xhit for damage.  A hit for no damage is the same as a miss.  Two,
Xgood armor will absorb some of the  damage  that  your  character
Xwould  have taken.  An armor class of 100 would absorb 25% of any
Xdamage meant for him.  Three, fire and acid damage are reduced by
Xwearing  body  armor.  It is obvious that a high armor class is a
Xmust for surviving the lower levels of the Boss's realm.
X`20
X     Each piece of armor has an armor  class  adjustment,  and  a
Xspecial  bonus.   Armor  bought  in  town  will have these values
Xdisplayed with their description.  Armor that is found within the
Xrealm must be identified before these values will be displayed.
