PimpWars is another classic RPG in which you play a pimp. It was updated to Win32 by James Coyle of MysticBBS fame.

James left one annoying “feature” from the original game, in which it ignores the ANSI graphics setting found in the drop file, and instead asks the user “Use ANSI? (Y/N)” when it start up. NFU can automaticlly answer this question, so it's never even seen by the user by adding the /YN switch as the third parameter.

Here is how to install it: (Assuming that your BBS uses *# as the node macro)

1. Extract PW_153W.ZIP to a directory/folder. In this example we will assume C:\PB\PIMPWARS)

2. In your BBS software, configure your door to run a Command Line such as this example:

 c:\netfoss\nfu.exe c:\pb\node*# "c:\pb\pimpwars\pimpwars.exe c:\pb\node*#\door32.sys *#" /YN *D

Note that for node 1, the above command line would be translated by the BBS as so:

 c:\netfoss\nfu.exe c:\pb\node1 "c:\pb\pimpwars\pimpwars.exe c:\pb\node1\door32.sys 1" /YN *D

If your BBS software automaticly sets the current directory as the node's dropfile directory before executing a door, you can shorten the size of parameter 1 like this:

 c:\netfoss\nfu.exe . "c:\pb\pimpwars\pimpwars.exe c:\pb\node*#\door32.sys *N" /YN *D

You can also shorten the second parameter by replacing the path+/DOOR32.SYS with “^”:

 c:\netfoss\nfu.exe . "c:\pb\pimpwars\pimpwars.exe ^ *#" /YN *D
