One Liner was written as FREEWARE. You may use this software as you
wish. I hope you enjoy it.
One Liner is a BBS door game that allows your users to leave one-line
messages. Perfect for placement is menus as auto-execute entries (eg.
can be run from TOP.MNU on some systems). Sysop may define the number
of One Liners that will be maintained. An editor makes for easy
configuration. This software should work fine on any BBS that can
produce a DOOR.SYS or DORINFO1.DEF drop file. One Liner can use an
installed FOSSIL driver or its own internal ASYNC ENGINE. Multi-line
is supported through the use of multiple line-settings that are setup
easily when using the configuration program OLCONFIG.EXE.

INSTALLATION
To Install One Liner just unpack it into its own directory. Then,
from the One Liner directory, run OLCONFIG.EXE. Use this program to
define the settings for your system, lines, etc. I won' go into great
detail. If you need help on a specific field, just press F1 and help
will arrive!
When One Liner is started, it wants to see the line number passed in
as a parameter. This is so One Liner knows which line settings to use
from the configuration profile.
Use a batch file to call One Liner from your BBS. Here's an example of
a batch file for a 2-node RemoteAccess system. Most BBS packages would
use similar batch files. In this example, it is assumed that the node
number (line) in use is being passed to the batch file from the
command line (eg. ONELINER.BAT 1).

Other samples:
ONELINER.EXE Calls One Liner and defaults to settings
for line 1.
ONELINER.EXE 2 Calls One Liner and loads settings for
line 2.
ONELINER.EXE 64 Calls One Liner and loads up settings
for line 64.
One Liner may now be executed from within the BBS by executing the
batch file. On RemoteAccess or ProBoard systems, you could easily
call this from the TOP menu before your MAIN menu is executed. This
has the effect of only running the door once for each call since TOP
is only executed once (normally). Or it may be fired up during the
logoff sequence, automatically or by choice.
Enjoy the program!
