Product Summary:
----------------
Ladies of the Night 4 U is an ADULTS ONLY game with adult language, adult
humor, adult action, simulated sex, and more! In this game you compete
with others in running the best brothel in town! You recruit your own
"Ladies", decide their percentage, buy condoms, pay off the police, hire
thugs to protect them, send the Ladies to school to enhance their areas
where they maybe lacking, sabotage other players, invest in Adult oriented
stocks, play games, and even get to go "Behind the Green Door" (based on
the movie by the same name). Many more features, and options
for both the players and the SYSOPs! 

CAUTION: THIS IS AN ADULTS GAME AND CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE AND SEXUAL
SUBJECTS. BE CAREFUL WHAT AGE GROUPS OF YOUR USERS THAT YOU ALLOW TO ACCESS
THIS GAME!!!

Installation:
-------------

Installation is fairly simple. Just create a folder anywhere you want the
program to reside. You can call it anything you want, but I suggest LOTN4U.
Unzip the contents of the archive to that folder using a 32 bit ZIP program.
Copy any WCX files over to your WINServer folder and add the item to your
menu. Under the parameter section of WcMenu, be sure and add the location
of the LoTN4U program. Include the full path with drive location. Be sure
and mark the correct access in this part of the program. I do not suggest
letting people under 18 of age into this program!


       example:

        c:\doors\LOTN4U

          unzip all files into this directory for instance ...
          NEXT
           1. copy the LoTN4U.wcx to your wc5 directory
           2. copy all .bbs files to your wc5\disp directory






NOTE: If using this program over multiple machines, you should specify the
actual computer name and the drive name followed by the folder name(s).

That is all there is to it. You should then log on in local mode and run
the program. This will create the additional files and folders required by
the program. At his point you should enter the stock part of the program
(X from menu) to have the stocks created. This is not a requirement, but
will make it look a little better for the users.

Additional optional installation steps:
---------------------------------------

You can also create a file with a text editor called WHOS.DAT. In this file
would be a third party WHO IS ONLINE program to run (for example the awesome
SEEKINGU by PCPURSUITS). The first line should contain the name of the WCX
file to run and the second line should contain either a parameter required
by the program or a blank line.

You may also create a file called CHAT.DAT that would contain the same type
of information for the CHAT WITH OTHER USERS function.

NOTE: If the user does not normally have access to the chat room or to the
Who is on line program, they will not be able to use it from here either.

Technical Information

Quite a few folders and files are created upon execution of the program and
as new users are entered into the game. Here is a list of the structure of
the program.

This example assumes that the default folder you installed LoTN4U to is
called LoTN4U.

LoTN4U Folder:

MESSAGE FOLDER
MESSAGE.####  - This is the public messages
	MESSAGE.DAT   - This is the message count file
STOCKS FOLDER
	VAROUS NAMES - This is the stock name FOLDER
            STOCKNAME.DAT - This is the price of the stock the past 10 days
USERS FOLDER
	USER NAME FOLDER - There should be a folder for each user playing
		CHALLENGE FOLDER - List of challenges for this user
	USERNAME.DAT - Actual user data file
	USERNAME.WHORE - Users whores statistics
	FREEMONEY.DAT - File created when user gets free money
	FREECONDOM.DAT - File created when user gets free condoms

Here are the additional files contained in the LoTN4U folder:

CONDOM.PRICE	-This is the daily price of condoms, it changes day to day
COUNT.DAT       -This contains the number of horny souls that have entered
                 the game
DELETE.DAT      -This is a special file that has a list of the files that
                 are deleted when the Game is restarted.
DAY.DAT		- Internal data file that has today's date in it.
EMAIL.DAT       -This contains the name to send bug reports to

REG.#           -This is the file that contains your reg key.
STOCKS.DAT      -List of the stock names in the game
STRANGE.DAT     -The strange event file. You can change these. MUST contain
                 100 lines
SYSOP.DAT       -This is the file where you can add names of security levels
                 of people you want to have access to the SysOp functions in
                 the program
TEMP.TMP        -Temp file used by the message editor
THUGS.DAT       -List of the 25 thugs in the game. You can change their names.

WHORES.TXT      -The whore 'database' of names, add to it and then delete
                 the IDX file
WHORE.TXT       -The names created and selected from when picking whores
WINNING.LOTTO	-The winning lottery numbers
WALL.DAT        - The graffiti wall data

Additional files can be created depending on some situations, but the
program will clean up after itself in a pretty good fashion.

MAIN MENU

This part will explain item by item what each menu item does. You should
NOT let your users see this, as it will give away a lot of the secrets of
the game. I suggest that you, as SysOp do not play the game as a
competitive force, as if you do well, users will think that you cheated.
You do have the ability to do that, so just play, but don't win!

A. Bug report / Suggestions

This allows the user to send mail to me or to the SysOp telling of bugs or
suggesting improvements to the game. By default, when shipped, this contains
my e-mail address and if you have net access, mail will be sent to me.
However, if you do not want to implement this part, just put your name or
another name into the file called EMAIL.DAT located in the LoTN4U folder.

B. Buy Condoms

This is where the users can buy condoms. They are bought in boxes of 10 and
the price ranges from 50 to 99 bucks a box. The price is set in the morning
when the first user enters the program and stays that rate till the next day
when it is set again. This information is store in the file called
CONDOM.PRICE located in the LoTN4U folder.

C. Chat between Nodes
 
  This runs the Chat between Nodes program built into WINServer. It puts
you right into the chat  Room and if you exit the chat room, you will be
right back into the game. The program checks to see if the user has access
to the chat room first and if not, informs them of this. You can optionally
create a file called CHAT.DAT and put it in the LoTN4U folder and my program
will run a third party chat room program. This file should contain two lines, the first being 
the name of the chat room program to run (WITHOUT THE .WCX) and the second
line should be the parameter required by the chat program. If there is no
parameter required, then you should add a blank line, so that the DAT file
contains two lines.

D. Visit the Doctors office

This function here visits the doctor, where you can have your health repaired,
and your whores health fixed. This costs money to use this function, but is
an important part of the game. If your girls are sick, they will not get
much business. The doctor does not perform any abortions, and cannot
resurrect the dead. But the doctor can perform doctor assisted suicide for
free.

E.   Enter the Bank

This is a safe place to keep your money. You can basically deposit money and
withdraw  money from your account. This information is displayed at all
places that require you to spend money. There is also a loan department
that will allow the users to make a loan from the bank. Interest
is set at 20 percent, so if you borrow $1,000, you will have to pay back
$1,200. There is not deadline when this is to be paid, but when you have
money owed, half of your daily earnings from your girls goes towards paying
the debt off. This is AFTER your girls are paid off their percentage. You
cannot borrow additional money until your loan is paid off. The amount you
can borrow is dependant on how strong you are. You can view your strength
with the V function of the main menu. See V for more details. You can borrow
up to 20 percent of you total strength.

F. Find Whores

This is where you hire your girls to work for you. When a new player starts
the game, they are allowed to have three girls. Each whore house level they
build will increase this total to ten times the whore house level. You are
allowed to hire ten girls a day and only allowed to pick from ten girls.
Some of these whores are really 'raw' looking. But they can all be increased
in value by sending them off to school.

There is a file called WHORES.DAT that contains the whores names, you can
edit this if you wish. Just delete the WHORES.IDX file after altering it
and a new IDX file will be created. Every 1st day of each month, this file
is redone automatically.

G. Get a Thug/Change Whores percentage

This function if used to hire a thug to lower the chance of a girl being
robbed. The better thug you hire, the less chance of being robbed. There
are 25 levels of thugs in the game and you can edit the names of the thugs
by changing the contents of the THUGS.DAT file. Each girl can have each own
thug or no thug at all. You can change thugs at anytime.

This function is also used to change a girls percentage. Her percentage
is the amount of money that the girl gets from doing her work. You
originally set this amount when the girl is hired. Valid rates are from
0-100. Each girl has a hidden value that she is trying to reach, if she
reaches this value, she will quit this line of work and you will be whoreless.
Of course, the more you pay a girl, the quicker she will reach her goal.
However, the less you pay her, the less tricks she will do for you and
also, you increase the chances of her ripping you off. If you pay one
too much, she could get lazy and do less tricks also.

H. HELP and TIPS

This is the online help file for the users. I suggest you tell the users
to read this, it contains some VERY useful information on how to play the
game along with some tips. You cannot modify this text.

I. Player Information

This just lists all the players in the game.

J. Just play the lottery

This is the lottery game. When first starting the game, the lottery is set
at $1,000,000 and is increased by $10 whenever a ticket is bought. Tickets
only cost $1 each, but increase the lottery jackpot by $10 for each ticket
sold. There is a drawing during the morning maintenance and all winners will
be informed when they enter the game. Matching 3 pays 5 bucks while matching
4 will pay a percentage of the jackpot. Matching all 5 will pay the whole
thing to the winner and cause it to be reset. When you purchase a ticket,
it is good for all week. You can have as many tickets as you want, and all
tickets are thrown away on Sunday. I wish all lotteries acted this way!

K. Kill Menu

This menu should be called the sabotage menu as you do not really kill
anyone from here. You can however make their life miserable. 

You can challenge another user. This is rather a unique option that allows
a user to issue a challenge to another user. They can bet any amount of
money that they have available to bet. The only limitation is that they
cannot be 8 times greater in overall strength than the person that they
are challenging. Odds are then set according to each others strength.
Strength is based on several factors, including money,  whores, whore
value and many other attributes are figured into the complex scoring
system. If for instance, a user was challenging another user with a 'score'
of 2000. If their score was 8000, then the challenger would be favored 4-1.
That means if the challenger wins, they would win 1000 dollars, but
risk losing 4000 dollars. Interesting enough, the odds stay at 4 to 1,
even if the actual odds change when the challenge is accepted.

Bribe a whore to come work for you. This is an interesting option, it gives
the user the ability to get some of the competitions girls. You have to
bribe her to do this and the amount required is determined by the girls GOAL
and also by her thug protection. If a girl accepts the bribe, you assume
her statistics and also her thug level. Her goal is also increased by
whatever you bribed her with, thus getting her closer to retiring. This
should be used with caution, as you could spend more getting this girl
than what she would make you. But you also cause this other player to
lose a whore and points off their overall score.

Sabotage player is fun. For a small fee, you hire Rodney Scumbag to poke
holes in your enemy's condoms. This can, but not always, cause the condom
to fail and the girl get pregnant. For a small fee, you can have Rodney
check your condoms for holes to prevent this. If Rodney finds any defective
condoms, he will be able to tell you who hired him to do that. Make sure
you have enough money for this option, or you may find a few holes in your
condoms.

Spy other whores lets you examine other peoples whores to find one you
may want to steal. This costs money, but can be well worth the investment.

Accept challenges allows you to accept challenges from other users, if you
have any waiting for you.

Spy on your whores is an interesting item. This option let's you spend
money on a spy to go check out your own whores in action. This is basically
a tool to allow you to see if your girls are ripping you off. This is not
a 100 percent method, as if the girl is smart, the spy will not catch her.
If she is ripping you off, this is a sign you are not paying her enough.

L. Lounge and Games Area
The games in here as of this writing is first, the Lousy Number guessing
game, this is one of those number guessing games whereas the user tries to
guess a number from 1-100 in a certain amount of guesses. 5 guesses in this
game, and for some extra money, the guy will give you an extra guess. Watch
it, this guy is a crook.

The other game is a Black jack game that can be a lot of fun to play.
You can make some money at it also.

M. Message Menu

The message menu has a public message area and a private area. Messages
can be of up to 20 lines and each have a subject. When you enter the game,
you will be told of any new messages to you and also the general status of
your message inbox. There is also a spell checker to check your spelling.
This is a stand alone message base and is not used in conjunction with
the WINServer system. 

N. Next Day

The next day option is used to make money from your girls. Unless the girl
is in school, this is where she can prove her worth. She gets seven (7) days
per actual day. If you would like to increase this, see the advanced options
further in this file. I do suggest that you keep it set at 7 for the best
playability. When you pick next day, there are two options that are given,
Itemized or summary. Itemized lists each girl and each trick one by one and
then pauses for ten seconds or until a key is hit. Summary just displays
how that girl did during that round. Do not use summary if you are spying on
one of your girls. Towards the end of the actual day, (your 5th, 6th and
7th next day), your girls will have more tricks, due to it being the weekend.

Other things can happen during this time, your girl could have a leaky
condom and get pregnant, she could reach her goal or one of her attributes
could get raised from experience.

You can list the action by two methods, one is Summary and the other is an
Itemized list. The summary is nice when you get a quite a few whores and
want to quickly go through the day. The itemized list is REQUIRED if you
are spying on one of your girls.

O. Other Users Online

This option will list the other users online on the system. By default, it
uses the built in WINServer who is online command. IF you have a third party
program, like my SEEKINGU, you can have it run that by creating a file
called WHOS.DAT with two lines in it. The first being the name of the WCX
file to run and the second being the parameter needed by the program. If no
parameter is needed, then make sure you just have a blank line as the second
line. If the user does not have access to the who is online command,
they will not be given it though my program.

P. Payoff Police

This option is used to pay the police off so your girls do not get busted
as often. Basically the program will check the average per girl and if it
is over $333 then the girl will be protected from being busted. No completely,
but pretty close to it. The lower the amount paid, the less protection and
the more she will get busted. As you add more girls, you will have to
add more to the police payoff. If you add to your whore house, the police
payoff is reset to zero. If you try to rip the cops off, you will not be
able to pay for the payoff till the next day.

Q. Quit

This returns you to the BBS. It writes to the log that you have exited
the program. Your user statistics  are saved once more, but they are also
saved after everything that changes them, to keep people from dropping
carrier as soon as something bad happens.

R. Release Whore

If you have a whore that is not producing for you, or one that is dishonest,
you may want to release her. Or you may see one that you want to steal,
but have to many girls. So this option releases the girl allowing you to
add one more.

S. School

This is the famous Whore School. This is where you can make your whore a
better whore, which will allow her to make more money for you. You MUST
select this option before you press the N key for next day. You can send
all your girls to school, but each girl can only raise one attribute per day.
She also is unavailable to perform tricks that day if she goes off to
school. The cost is based on her current level. It costs more money to go
to level 9 then it does to go to level 4. She can also lost weight,
which also helps her make more money.

T. Today's Log

This displays the log of what happened today. This is a very detailed list
of events that happened though out the day pimp day. Smart users will
use this as a tool to help see who is doing dirty deeds and what is
happening. This file is deleted and restarted when the maintenance is
ran in the morning.

U. Upgrade Whore House

Upgrading the whore house allows you to have more whores. When you have
no whore house, you are allowed three whores. When you get the first whore
house, you will be then allowed 10 whores to work for you. Level 2 allows 20,
level 3 allows 30, etc. You are allowed up to 20 levels of whore house,
which would allow 200 whores. I would think that most contests would
be over by  that time. If you let the contest run too long, then you get
a super pimp that no one can catch up to. When you upgrade the whore house,
the police payoff is reset to zero.

V. View Top 20

This creates the top 20 list for viewing. A top 20 list for pimps and for
whores is created when this option is selected. This is the same list that
is created when the game is over and reset. This also is what creates the
top pimp and the top whore that is seen when the user enters the game. Note
that due to how long it can take to figure out the top whore when there
are several hundred whores in the game, these functions are only done
when the user selects it from a menu. I do plan on adding an event driven
separate program that could do this at different times of the day, if people
request this option. Pimps are rated on many different things, including,
number of whores, value of whores, money in bank and many other attributes.
This is a very complex formula that will not be revealed and will more and
likely be modified in future releases. Also the formula for the whores is
just as complex and rates her on many things, with some things being more
important than others.


W. Whore Info

This will bring up a screen that looks like so:

 
 A) List all whores by name
 B) List all whores thugs
 C) List all whores percent
 D) List all whores goal reached
 E) Search for a whore by name
 F) List all info about whores
 G) Get Thug is Off

First option is to list all of your whores. This is just to get their names
for easy reference. The second, lists all  your whores and what thug level
they have. The third of course lists the whores and what percent you are
paying them. The next selection lists the percentage of the goal reached
by the girls. This is a good place to judge when a girl is about to climax
her visit in the world of whoring. Item E will allow you to search for a
whore by a portion of her name, and F will list all the whores. If the
GET THUG is off, then only information about the girls will be displayed.
If it is on, they you will get a chance to change the whores thug or
her percent. When using the F key, you can press E to exit at anytime while
displaying all the girls. 

X- Stock Market

The stock market is a quick way to make some money, or possibly lose some.
There are 20 stocks available and each one can rise or lower in price
everyday. Just as in the real stock market, you should by low and sell high.
Of course, you can buy some of the higher priced stocks, they have less
chance to drop rapidly as the lower price ones will. All stock can drop or
raise by 1, 2 or by as much as 20 percent of their value. You can sell at
anytime for a loss or a profit. The program remembers what you paid for the
stock and how many shares you have. You can examine it at anytime. The
program also shows the value for each stock, based on the last 10 days. The
figures in red mean the stock has dropped in price, while in green means
the price has been rising. Note that stock that has been dropping are
usually the best buys, as they are due to rise soon. Avoid the real low
priced stock, as they will have a hard time rising.

Z - Zany Wall

This is the graffiti wall that the users can add whatever they want to it.
Anything goes, no spell checking is done, no vulgar language is checked
and like I say, anything goes. Users will find this a useful tool in
provoking other users, leaving love messages or just acting crazy. It is
sort of like a bulletin board where notes are posted. They can be in color
and even shows a color chart showing how to add color. There can be 19 lines
in the wall, when a 20th is added, the oldest one (the bottom one) will be
deleted.

1. What's New

This option lets you know when a new version has been released and what
features have been added, enhanced, or corrected.

2. Fondle Person in the Stockade

You will only try this option once. Keep an eye on this so users don't get
frustrated if they get caught in the Stockade (You can release them with
the | key).

3. Behind the Green Door

Registered Feature ONLY! This option is dedicated to the classic XXX-Rated
film by the same name! This option requires that a password or key, either
of which can be obtained in your journeys through the game! Once you gain
access, you can experience simulated and HIGHLY explicit sexual fantasies!
There are 6 Pleasure Pits in this delightful corner of the game! Players
who have achieved house level of 10 or higher can access without a key or
password. TWO VERY IMPORTANT NOTES: The password should NOT be shared and
must be EARNED (don't write me and ask me for it), 2nd CERTAIN Whore names
in the Whores.TXT should not be removed because they trigger getting the key
so modify it with care if at all...

A future addition to this section will be a "Write your OWN Passionate
Passage" as already requested by several of my registered owners! The
Behind the Green Door portion of the game has become such a HUGE suck-sess
that many horny users spend countless hours there!

Other Stuff

 The program can be run forever without having to do anything. It will
take care of itself, as maintenance is performed automatically. There is a
contest option, which I strongly advise you to use. You set the contest
for a certain number of days and when that day is reached, the game will be
over. The high scores are saved to a folder called SCORES, that can be
accessed from the program. All the users are then deleted, new whores are
created and basically, the game is reset. However, you will be required
to reset the contest, if you do not, then the new contest will start
using the length of the last one.

The SysOp menu should be self explanatory, this is used in case you see
some user that has figured out a way to cheat, or if you want to just
play around with some values. Note, that the SysOp menu is only available
to users that have either their name or their security level in the SYSOP.DAT
file. Also, the program MUST be registered to use most of the functions
in the SysOp menu. The first release of the program has a very limited
SysOp menu, but the first update to the program will have a full blown editor.

The strange event is just that, a strange event. You can modify this file,
the STRANGE.DAT file, and it will randomly pick one for the user. Only one
can be displayed per entry into the program and it will happen at various
times. Some events will cause good or bad stuff to happen. Some VERY helpful
HINTS are provided by this random option.

Every Morning, when the maintenance is ran, the IDX file for the whores
will be deleted, which will cause the whores to be regenerated. You can
add or delete names to the WHORES.DAT file if you want. When the maintenance
is ran, the new girls will be added to the available girl pool. Enter them
in Mixed Case to make it look nice.

There is a file called LoTN4U1.BBS that will be copied over to your DISP
folder under your WINServer folder that will show the menu. You can change
the screen colors, etc from this file after it is copied over. It will be
copied over the first time the program is executed. If you would like to
add an extra security option, you can create a file called AGE.DAT and put
a number in this file. This file should be located in the LoTN4U folder and
the number is the age required to enter the program. If a user is not of age,
according to WINServer, they will not be shown the opening screen, be nicely
informed that they are not old enough and exited from the program. Please
note that if you do use this option, you should configure WINServer to
NOT allow the users to change their age and DO NOT allow new users access
to the program. Remember, you can restrict access to the program through
WINServer and this option was just added as an additional security measure.

Registration
------------

Registration costs $30.00 to register the program, all updated are free and
if requested, you can join the FREE automatic update notification program.
This is something I am trying for registered users. If they give me an
e-mail address, then when I release a new version, I will send a message
letting them know that the program has been updated. I update my programs
regularly.  To register this program, please see the REGISTER.TXT file
contained in the archive. When you receive the registration key from me
you can either create a text file called REG.# under the LoTN4U folder and
place the key on the first line, or Go to the SYSOP Menu and use option C.

To see other programs I have written, visit my web page at
http://www.farpointbbs.com/. Non registered versions will be limited to
5 whores per user. The borrow from bank will also not work, along with
the release whore option. There are no delays in the game, and I think that
the missing functions listed above are not too much of a limitation on
the program. Please let me know how you think I should handle the
non-registered versions. I would appreciate feedback on that subject.
