After recieving the check or money order, I will mail you a key number and

enter the information exactly as sent to you and it will produce a key file
called Headerv3.Reg. The key file must be in the directory with Header.exe
or it will continue to stamp Not Registered in the SfFiles.BBS headers.

an account for you.
IMPORTANT!!!!
If you have a multi-node system, and you want to run Header, make sure
that no other node will be accessing the individual Sffiles.BBS files,
as Header will rename the file while it is working on it.

********************** Installation *************************
Header can now be run from any directory and find the SpitFire data
files it needs.
Header can be run as an event after initial set up.
Header now recognizes an environment variable SfPath to be set before it
will run. To set SfPath add the following line in either your autoexec.bat
file, of in the SF.Bat file event area you run it from,
SET SfPath=C:\SF
where C:\SF is the complete path to where SpitFire resides. If you are
running another copy of SpitFire as a sub board, and you want to run
Header on both bulletin boards, you can set Header to be run as
an event. If you run it as event_A and the path to SpitFire is C:\SF,
and the path to the subboard is D:\SF, then edit the SF.Bat file event_A
area as follows
:Event_A
SET SfPath=C:\SF
CD \Header
Header32
SET SfPath=D:\SF
Header32
CD \SF
Goto Loop
Header will accecpt one commandline parameter, NoCdRom. If you have
a CDRom drive and do not want the SfFiles.? processed then call
Header like this
:Event_A
cd \header
Set SfPath=D:\sf
Header32
Header32 NoCdRom
Set SfPath=C:\SF
Header32
Goto Loop
Case is not important. On the other hand if you want to keep all of
your SfFiles files looking the same then run Header once without the
NoCdRom argument and it will process all SfFiles files, after running
it once then call Header daily using the NoCdRom argument.
Header has been compeletly rewritten. No code from version 1.0 was
kept. As a result Header is MUCH FASTER than the original.
Header addes the following Header in the appropriate SfFiles.BBS file
( depending on the options you choose )
