-
- What It Does
- -=-=-=-=-=-=
-
- Ok.. this is simple. It reads from a file called QUOTES. This is an ascii file
- with one liners [The quotes can only be 79 characters]. It picks one of them
- randomly, and then sends it through the modem (or to a file called THEQUOTE.QOD).
-
-
-
- How To Run It
- +++++++++++++
-
- Again, this is simple. Make a directory with all the Quote O' The Day files in
- it. Then, edit the QOFDAY.CFG to your needs.
- QOFDAY.CFG, an ASCII file, should contain the following:
-
- <com port #>
- <SEND or FILE>
-
- <com port #> is a whole number from 1 to 4. <SEND or FILE> means SEND if
- you want to have it send it to the user, or FILE if you want it to just send it
- to a file. Example:
-
- 2
- SEND
-
- This means you want it to SEND it to the user over Com port #2.
-
- If you choose FILE, it sends the quote to a file called THEQUOTE.QOD.
-
-
- Once the CFG is set up, you can run it! To run QOFDAY, you do the following:
-
- QOFDAY <ANSI>
-
- ANSI is a number, 0 or 1. 0 means No Ansi, 1 means Ansi. If you don't
- specify 0 or 1, it will not use ANSI. Example:
-
- QOFDAY 1
-
- This will send the Quote with some color to it.
-
- (On Telegard Systems, you can use QOFDAY as a menu command, and use @G to specify
- color or not.)
-
- ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
- : OTHER COOL OPTIONS :
- ''''''''''''''''''''''
-
- Another cool option is that you can use QOFDAY as an event. On Telegard
- systems, this is useful. You can make a BAT file like the following:
-
- QOFDAY 1
- COPY THEQUOTE.QOD C:\BBS\AFILES\LOGON3.ANS
- QOFDAY 0
- COPY THEQUOTE.QOD C:\BBS\AFILES\LOGON3.MSG
-
- What this does is runs Quote O' The Day, and makes an ANSI quote. Then it
- copies the file to the ANSI Logon file. Then it runs QOFDAY again, and makes
- an ASCII quote. Then it copies the file to the ASCII logon file.

- [[[ REGISTERING ]]]
- [[[-------------]]]
-
- Ah yes, the old favorite. You can use this trial version for 30 days, but if you
- continue to use it, you must register. Registering this program costs a mere $5.
- It took alot of time and effort to do this. By registering, you will receive all
- new versions. They can be received via Peachy's BBS explained below, or by mail.
- If you choose the mail route, you must fill out the order form, and pay for
- shipping and handling. If you don't register, the buggy little
- [ Please Register This Copy! ] appears, but nothing bad happens, except
- maybe you going to the place below.
