Quote Me! v1.5
for Wildcat 3.0+
(c)1996 Matthew Wilson
Compiled 1/10/96
Introduction
------------
Quote Me! is a program which allows users to leave a simple message
to be seen during Logon/Logoff (or any other time, depending on the
configuration the SysOp chooses). Quote Me! may be run as a menu option or
even a logon/logoff program. Quote Me! will create an @-code display file
of the SysOp's choice. The output file prints a SysOp configurable header,
prints the message left by the user, prints the user name, time and date of
the message, then prompts the user to continue.
Features
--------
- Supports 16550 FIFO buffering
- Built in ANSI emulator
- Configurable ANSI and TEXT menu files, with built in default menus
- Includes profanity filter
- Configurable output filename and path
- Output file header configurable
Installation
------------
Installation of Quote Me! is easy. Follow the steps listed below to
have Quote Me! running in a matter of minutes.
1) Create a directory for Quote Me! on your hard drive.
2) Unzip the QUOTME##.ZIP file into this directory. The following files
should have been included in the ZIP file:
QUOTEME.EXE The main program for Quote Me!
QUOTECFG.EXE Quote Me! configuration utility
QUOTEME.TXT This file
QUOTEME.BAT Sample batch file
REGISTER.TXT Registration information
MENU.SCR ANSI menu file (Non-essential)
HEADER.BBS Output file header (Non-essential)
3) Run QUOTECFG.EXE. This program will set up the data files required
by Quote Me! and allow the SysOp to set the words to be filtered.
4) Create a batch file to run Quote Me! The command line to execute
Quote Me! should be:
QUOTEME DOOR.CFG <NONSTANDARD_IRQ>
where <NONSTANDARD_IRQ> should ONLY be used if your serial uses a
non-standard interrupt.
5) Set up the Quote Me! batch file to run as a menu option or a
logon/logoff program as described in the Wildcat! SysOp's manual.
A sample batch file has been included.
Data file configuration
-----------------------
This section is only important if you had trouble with the
QUOTECFG.EXE program or want to set up the data files manually. Below is
described the two data files and their contents. These two files must reside
in the same directory as QUOTEME.EXE.
DOOR.CFG-
LINE1: This is the drop file type used. If you really want to, you can set
this to "WC" to use the .DEF file created by Wildcat!, but I recommend
this settting to be "GAP" denoting DOOR.SYS.
LINE2: This is the FULL PATH to the drop file described above, including the
trailing backslash.
LINE3: This is the Name of the BBS.
LINE4: This is the SysOp's name.
LINE5: This is a number denoting the LOCKED BAUD RATE. If the baud rate is
not locked, set this to zero.
An example DOOR.CFG file:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
GAP
C:\WILDCAT\WCWORK\NODE%WCNODEID%\
Midnight BBS

57600
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUOTEME.DAT-
LINE 1: This is the FULL PATH and FILENAME of the output file to be created
by Quote Me!. The file created uses Wildcat! @-codes and is suitable
for any Wildcat! display file using the .BBS or .SCR extension.
LINE 2: Line 2 is the registration code. If not registered, this line should
contain 4 zeros, each separated by a space. If you have obtained a
registration code, each number should be separated by a space.
LINES 3-22: These lines are the words to be filtered out by Quote Me! One
filter word should be listed per line, and words must be all in
UPPER CASE. If less than twenty filter words are to be used,
place one tilda (~) on each of the remaining lines. Each word
cannot be more than 24 characters and should not contain any
spaces.
OPTIONAL FILES
--------------
There are three optional files which may be used by Quote me! They
are listed below with a description of each. These files must reside in the
same directory as QUOTEME.EXE.
MENU.TXT - This is a text menu file which if present is displayed to
callers who are connected without ANSI (color) emulation. This
file may be created with any text editor (such as DOS edit).
MENU.SCR - This is an ANSI menu file which if present is displayed to
callers using ANSI (color) emulation. This file must be created
with an ANSI editor (not the package supplied with Wildcat!)
HEADER.BBS- This file is an @-code header file. The contents of this file
will be placed at the top of the Quote Me! output file specified
by line 1 of QUOTEME.DAT. This file must be created with a
Wildcat! compatible file editor (such as the editor supplied
with Wildcat!).
REGISTRATION
------------
Please read REGISTER.TXT for price and registration information.
