AColor.EXE v6.21
Copyright (c) 1991,93 - PAROLE Software
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
Dennis Maidon
--------------------------------
AColor.EXE is a simple utility that I wrote in Turbo Pascal 7.0 to
randomly color text files on my BBS. It will add ANSI color to any text
file line by line. It's a nice utility to change those bland text
files into sparkling color and add a bit of life to the bulletin section
of a BBS. It is FREE with no strings attached. If you like it, stop by
The Parole Board one day and say hi to all the inmates incarcerated
here.
AColor.exe now allows you to add ANSI color to the background if
you prefer. It is controlled by a command line switch. "BLUE".
This will not work on files with lines longer than 79 columns. AColor
will run unattended in Batch mode and exit back to the system upon
completion. The user can also abort the colorization process at any
time by pressing "ctl C". The ACOLOR switches are not case sensitive as
"blue" will produce the same results as "BLUE" or "BluE". AColor will
truncate the line length to 77 columns so be sure to limit the line lengths
to that if you don't want to lose any text.

AColor is now compatible with several different types of BBSs. By
using SET ACOLOR=WC, AColor will now create the file with a .SCR
extension. It also is compatible with Spitfire (CLR), QBBS and
Remote Access (ANS)
The correct environment codes are :
WC = Wildcat
SF = Spitfire
RA = Remote Access
QB = QBBS
WC3 = Wildcat! 3.0
PCB = PCBoard
If no output file is specified AColor creates a file named
ACOLOR.SCR in the current directory.
