    I will also be sending both Linux and Windows versions to Paul to hat out. Both versions include all the source code needed to compile yourself, if you wish. I will also have this available on my github page as well as most of my other programs I've written.

    And the address? :)

    That would have been good information to add... ;)

    The game is running on CRBBS at bbs.castlerockbbs.com:23

    Source code is available on GitHub at https://github.com/DRPanther/Crazy_Eights_Slots

    Try as I might I could not get it to load in Synchronet. It compiled
    just fine and the dorinfo1.def is in the slots directory but it keeps saying it can't find the drop file.

    Will it run from a command line, with the dropfile in the directory?

    Nope, also says it can't find the dropfile.

    Ok, I've done a bunch of testing. I'm guessing the dropfile is in all capital letters?

    Try renaming it to all lowercase and give it a shot.

    Yes, the dropfile is in all CAPS, it works when converted to lowercase. Thanks.

    I'm glad it worked. I'm still trying to figure out why it doesn't like the dropfile to be in uppercase though...

    Been playing with the ansi and code. I made large ansi numbers, can't see them here though. Not sure if this will look right:

    I think that looks great! I'd love to add it to the game. Do you have an account on GitHub? If so, please push the ansi screens to the repo.
    Otherwise, if you could email the files to me at dan<at>castlerockbbs<dot>com and I can get them added.

    Thank you SO much! I really appreciate it.

    I don't have a github account so I sent it to you via email. Thanks!

    Got it. I'll be adding it to the newest branch of GitHub. I'll also be giving you credit for contributing. Thanks again! It looks a lot better! :)
