- The Automated BBS screen rotator

-
- RotateIt v1.5 - Purpose & Reason...
-
- Tired of looking at those same screens???? Well this little program
- takes care of that inconvenience!
-
- RotateIt is just another one of those file rotation programs. RotateIt
- was written to rotate a group of files within a directory, Mainly for
- BBS (Bulletin Board System) use. If you have a group of files that is designed
- in the same category of a certain display screen and you want all of them
- displayed, this is were RotateIt v1.5 comes in.
-
-
-
- RotateIt v1.5 - Example of usage:
-
- Say you have 2 other screens that you want to be displayed as a
- welcome screen on your BBS besides the one you already have set for display.
-
- For starters you may want to unpack your archive in the directory in which
- your menus and display screens are located. After you have done that
- you can run SETUP.EXE and configure your wanted settings. The first
- question asked in SETUP.EXE is what's the original filename of the screen
- that your BBS program looks for, lets say your running PCBOARD, it would
- be WELCOME. WELCOME. - would be the first answer to the first question.
- Second, the next question is how many screens are going to be rotated
- BESIDES the main screen? In this case it would be 2 screens. Third, it will
- ask you in the order in which you want the screens displayed what the
- first screen filename is. Lets say its COLOR.ANS, so you would enter
- COLOR.ANS as your first ansi screen to appear. SETUP.EXE then takes
- COLOR.ANS and renames it to FILE1. Then you are asked for the second
- screen to be displayed, lets say that one is called HELLO.ANS, so you enter
- HELLO.ANS. HELLO.ANS is renamed to FILE2. And finally your done with
- the setup, that simple. If you enter a wrong filename SETUP.EXE will
- halt and exit to DOS. You may then start over by simply entering SETUP.EXE
- again.
-
- ****
- NOTE: You can only enter up to 5
- **** screens or files!
- (future versions will support more screens)
-
- RotateIt v1.5 - Disclaimer
-
- This program is "as is", if you get it with files missing and other junk,
- or have any type of hardware or software problems it is not an anyway the
- authors fault or Atomic Soft. RotateIt v1.5 in its original compression and
- format is non-troublesome.
-
- RotateIt v1.5 - Quick installation!
-
- This part of the documentation is for those who don't like to read em. So
- here's a quick way to install RotateIt.
-
- 1. Unpack the RotateIt archive in a selected directory. (Its preferred that
- unpack it in the directory that holds your display files for your BBS)
-
- 2. Run SETUP.EXE, make all the specific changes, config your files in which
- you wish to display.
-
- 3. Run ROTATE.EXE, (If you like) to see if you have any errors. If so,
- run SETUP.EXE again.
-
- 4. You can run ROTATE.EXE as an event for your BBS nightly or after every
- caller. YOUR DONE!
-
- RotateIt v1.5 - Files
-
-
- These are the files that should be contained in the archive:
-
- SET. - For RotateIt v1.5 usage only!
- ROTATE.EXE - The Main Program, rotates files.
- SETUP.EXE - configuration file, run to set ROTATE.EXE up with your screens.
- REGISTER.DOC - registration form, please use this one. Hehehe.
- ROTATE.CFG - RotateIt v1.5 usage only!
- ROTATE.DOC - The current file you are viewing
-
- RotateIt v1.5 - The rotation process...
-
-
- The rotation process is very simple. This example is used with 3 different
- rotating screens:
-
- In SETUP.EXE the files are renamed so they are compatible with ROTATE.EXE
-
- This is what happens when ROTATE.EXE is ran...
-
- FILE1. renamed to BAK. \
- FILE2. renamed to FILE1. \
- FILE3. renamed to FILE2. - Dont be alarmed if your
- WELCOME. renamed to FILE1. / screens are not the same filename
- BAK. renamed to WELCOME. /
-
- NOTE: WELCOME is the PCBOARD filename for the main screen as you login.
-
- RotateIt v1.5 - Set it up with you BBS
-
- You can use ROTATE.EXE as an event of some sort to rotate the files after a
- period of time. Or you can rotate them after every logoff, if you BBS
- program supports it.
