What is it?
~~~~~~~~~~~
       YowZie is a yahtzee clone. It plays the full game and keeps a top 15
list of scores.

       YowZie originated while I was running Metro BBS. When DLG came along I
couldn't find an acceptable way to get input so Yowzie sat there doing
nothing. With the release of the library calls etc. I was able to re-write
the I/O routines.


How to set it up:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
       Create a directory in 'DOORS:' called 'YowZie'. Place all the files in
this directory. Then create a menu entry to call the program like this:

         DOORS:YowZie/YowZie -P%PORT -T%TLCALL -B"BBS Name"

              (Order and case NOT important)

       Thats it. Go and enjoy the game!
