Short user's guide for the NWQ terminal v. 1.4
OH3NWQ @ OH3RBR.#TRE.FIN.EU
The compiled code of NWQterm is Public Domain
and it is free to be used in any way.
THE SOURCE CODE IS NOT IN PUBLIC DOMAIN.
IT MAY NOT BE DISTRIBUTED.
This programme runs ONLY with the BPQ node software.
You can find the instructions how to configure the BPQ virtual
node software in BPQ document files.
I made this programme for myself. So if it seems cumbersome,
it's just because I like it so...
-----
YOU MUST EDIT THE NWQ.SYS FILE and remember not to change the
format of the file. You may not delete any line, just modify the texts.
To install the programme: copy all the files to the dir from which you
want to run the NWQterm. And then run install.bat.
This file is not compatible with the earlier versions.
To start NWQterm type NWQ
If you have a VGA display adapter you can use NWQ /V
If you have a Hercules adapter use NWQ /H
If you have a text display use NWQ /M
You can also switch to a special display mode of your adapter
before you start NWQterm with command NWQ and see if it works.
