This file, and it's counterpart represent the sole documentation for
NEWSDESK for OS/2. If you are already familiar with NewsDesk, you may
need no further information. If however you are new to Newsdesk, this file
will attempt to breifly explain it's use and some of the finer points.
Since the introduction of Newsdesk, the package has undergone several
changes, most recent of which is the release of both OS/2 and DOS versions
as well as adding features to the original version. In this version, you
have the option to setup custom color combinations as well as being able
to use the software for QuickBBS, RA and Simplex BBS systems. This was
added out of personal need as we recently installed Simplex/2 on our home
base. Setup is simple, line 1 of the CTL file specifies the BBS type, this
MUST be Quick for QuickBBS and RA systems. For simplex, either SIM or simp
will do. The second line is where you place your BBS name, Third is the
filename and extention of the ANSI version Newsdesk will create. Forth is
the filename and extention for the ASCII version. Both of these lines
should contain the full path where you want these files placed. Lines 5,
6 and 7, are color settings. For valid choices examine the file: COLORS.TXT
