1)                   Switch documentation for pwar2.exe
 =============================================================================

2)                      How to intsall PimpWars II
 =============================================================================

Unzip pimpwars 2 archive to the directory you wish to run pimpwars from.  Edit
the pwar2.cfg so that the first line which should read Darkest Hour BBS and
replace that with what ever the name of your BBS is.  Now Pw2 needs to run one
time to initialize game data files so run 'pwar2 /l 0 0 john doe' to have
these files built.  With game data files built you are ready to configure your
bbs to run the game.  Consult the section bellow on how to configure the
command line switches for executing from your bbs.

3)                    Switch documentation for pwar2.exe
 =============================================================================

 SYNTAX : PWAR2 /bbs [file]   or  PWAR2 /L port remote firstname lastname

 SAMPLE : PWAR2 /W            or  PWAR2 /L 2 1 John Smith

 Using the /bbs option
 ---------------------
 The /bbs switch can assume any of the following:

 /C : Wildcat  (callinfo.bbs assumed in current directory)
 /E : Eazihost (system.hst assumed in current directory)
 /M : Milton   (userinfo.txt assumed in current directory)
 /P : PCBoard  (pcboard.sys assumed in current directory)
 /R : RBBS     (dorinfo1.def assumed in current directory)
 /S : Spitfire (sfdoors.dat assumed in current directory)
 /T : TAG/GAP  (door.sys assumed in current directory)
 /W : WWIV     (chain.txt assumed in current directory)

 If the intermediate file that you use has a different name, or is
 located in a different directory, you may use a second command line
 switch to specify it. The following is an example:

 PWAR2 /W c:\dir\mychain.txt

 It will treat c:\dir\mychain.txt as the chain.txt intermediate file.

 Using the /L option
 -------------------
 Some BBS's pass the user name, com port, etc. on the command line
 instead of placing them in an intermediate file. If you use a BBS of this
 kind, use the /L option. The definitions of the names above are as
 follows:

      port: The communications port (1-4).
    remote: Is user remote? (1) user is remote, (0) user is local.
 firstname: The user's first name.
  lastname: The user's last name.

 If your BBS only uses one name, leave the last name switch blank.
