- Why do I need a 'Ghostwriter'?
-
- ------------------------------
-
-
-
- Some BBS don't allow you to upload a message - you have to enter
- your text yourself. But this costs online-time.
-
- The Ghostwriter is able to 'type' in a message, with variable speed.
- Cheat the BBS-line editor!
-
-
-
- The result: better because more accurate messages.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- How to use the acc:
-
- -------------------
-
-
-
- The main dialog (the one you get when you invoke the accessory)
- offers some switches:
-
-
-
- * convert 'umlauts': The german mutated vowels 'üöä' as well as the
- 'eszet', '₧' are converted into their equivalents 'ue, oe, ae, ss'.
- However the french 'accents' are not affected by this process.
-
-
-
- * fill empty lines: as some BBS editors quit the edit-mode when you
- enter a blank line you can tell your Ghostwriter to put one space
- character into an emty line.
-
-
-
- * Load file...: Loads a textfile. If the file doesn't fit into memory
- you get an error message.
-
-
-
- * Informations: try!
-
-
-
- * Delay after each character: determines the delay between two
- characters.
-
-
-
- * Delay after each line: same thing for lines (Ends of lines)
-
- Those two settings are very important: if the textfile is
- transmitted too fast you risk to lose characters. Especially after a
- CR the delay has to be long enough. The exact values depend on the
- used baudrate and on the editor. You have to try some speeds...
-
-
-
- * End of line CR/CRLF: you can choose between CR and CRLF as the
- EOL-marker. Normally a simple CR is sufficient.
-
-
-
- * Transmit: launches the Transmission
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- The 'Transmission in progres...' dialog
-
- ---------------------------------------
-
-
-
- The transmitted characters are displayed in this dialog box using
- the 'RAW'-mode. That is, every character including control chars are
- displayed.
-
- To stop the transmission for a short time depress the right mouse
- button. The Ghostwriter continues sending the textfile when you
- release the button.
-
- To abort completely click on the 'Abort'-button.
-
