└────────────────────────┘
A HOTware Utility from Rob Roesch
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
History
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
11-20-93 Ver 1.0 Initial Release
12-21-93 Ver 1.1 Fixed NULL POINTER ASSIGNMENT messages
when creating only ASCII bulletins.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Purpose
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
EchoBul is a utility that serves one simple function. If you are
creating a bulletin suitable for a GT Power BBS, EchoBul may be of
some help to you. EchoBul will read your copy of ECHOLIST.BBS as
distributed by the GT Echolist Coordinator and create both a ASCII
and an ANSI color bulletin. Thats the only thing it does, and probably
the only thing it will ever do, but hopefully it will make your bulletin
life a wee bit easier.......
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Command Line
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
There are only three parameters that EchoBul will recognize. The full
path and name of the ECHOLIST.BBS, the full path and name of the ASCII
bulletin, and the full path and name of the ANSI bulletin you are
creating. Here is how it is set up in my midnight maintenance batch
file.
ECHOBUL C:\GT\ECHOLIST.BBS D:\GENERAL\16 D:\GENERAL\16.CBS
This will cause EchoBul to read the ECHOLIST from C:\GT, and create two
bulletins for me. D:\GENERAL\16 (ASCII Bulletin) and
D:\GENERAL\16.CBS (ANSI Bulletin).

Registration
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
I am not requesting any money for this program, but I would
not turn any down either <g>. If you want to slip $5.00 into
and envelope I'll accept it. Although I don't require a
registration fee I would appreciate knowing that you are using
the program on a normal basis. Therefore I have provided a
simple and easy way for you to register this program. From
the DOS prompt type:
ECHOBUL /REGISTER
ECHOBUL will the proceed to send me a netmail message informing
me that you are using the program. Please use this feature
ONCE.

If you start using this utility, and get a chance, let me know
what you think of it. If you don't have any use for it, delete
it for your total refund of all the disk space that it was
occupying. This program comes with no warranty, no guarantee,
and no promises. If it works GREAT, if not let me know and I
will gladly take a look at it in my spare time. If you really
really really like the program and want to make any donations,
feel free, but it is not a requirement.....
