MULTI-QUEST v1.1 Writen By Peter Zelezny for Max's BBS v1.52+
---------------------------------------------------------------
To set up Multi-Quest all you need to do is make a standard ascii file with
all the questions you want to ask a new user. This file should be called :
Doors:Multi-Quest/Multi-Quest.Questions
Now all you have to do is put your questions in it.
NOTE: there five different type of questions so please read the whole doc
QUESTION TYPES:
[1] STRING
This is a normal question type where a user enters a string. The format for
it is..
-

-
[3] TYPE B HOTKEY
This almost the same as question type 2 but if the user enters 'N'
the next question comming up will not be asked. This can be useful
for something like this...

SYSOP?

In the above case the last question will not be asked if the user
entered 'N' for the first question.

be asked if the user enters 'Y'...

ok! Now you know the different question types! All you have to remember
is that you must have a "-" between each question and a "--END--" at the
end of the question file.
ADDING ANSI SCREENS:
You can get Multi-Quest so display an ansi screen at any point during the
questions. All you have do is specify an ansi file name to show! Example:
- bbs:Text/introq.ansi
1
How old are you?
Age:
2
--END--
You can only specify filenames after the "-" and there must be one space
between the "-" and the filename. You can also add an ansi screen at the
end of the questionare... Example:
--END-- bbs:text/endingscreen.ansi
Here you must also leave a space between the "--END--" and the filename.
If you have no idea what all the above is talking about have a look at the
example question file provided.
LIMITATIONS:
Multi-Quest has 4 limitations...
1)You cannot make the question longer than 73 chars.
2)You cannot make the 'max chars user can enter' more than 71 chars.
3)You cannot use esc codes anywhere in the question file.
4)You cannot have anymore than 26 choices in the multiple choice questions.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS:
An online 'answer file' reader! So the sysop can scan through the answers
with ease and even making alterations...
