These are the only changes you'll have to make for the Voting
Logon part of the installation.
Well that wasn't hard, now was it. You can start adding
questions and all. It is all self explanitory and you'll
have no problem moving around in it. Just play with it
for a while and you'll get the hang of it. For further details
read the commmand.doc file on commands descriptions.
After you have installed everything correctly, you'll need to do the
following. First of all, you'll need to go into the Voting Booth. When
you see the main menu of the Voting Booth, press 'S' to go into the
setup options. You want to set up a directory where you want to keep
all of the vote record. The program will automatically create the
directory, all it basically need is a name from you, a complete path or
a name of a directory.
i.e. C:\sbbs\xtrn\vote\quesans or quesans
^---------------------------^--- are the same thing.
This will create a subdirectory for you.
In the Setup section, you'll also be able to give specific Main Level
and Flags. This will enable the users to add/delete their own vote and
also add additional response to the question, if that question is
enabled to add responses.
As stated earlier, play with it and you'll get the hang of it.
If you find any bugs please let me know, I can only find so many at one
time. Also remember that I'm still learning myself and hopely you won't fine
a thing, that would be good news to me.
