[ RIPIT! What it is! ]
RIPIT will create a RIPScrip screen from an existing ASCII, ANSI, @Color,
or any other TEXT based file. And, it does it quickly and easily!
[ How it works ]
Many times I've needed a RIP screen generated to run with an existing
@Color WildCat screen I've created with WildBull. I've tried several
of the RIP producing programs, but they just didn't do what I wanted,
so here's RIPIT!
To make RIPIT do it's thing, pass the proper parameters on the command
line and you'll be done in a flash! RIPIT's command line parameters
are:
RIPIT <path\filename.ext> #
RIPIT (currently - I will be adding more) has 12 RIP styles it will
produce for you. If you screw up and enter a number larger than 12,
RIPIT will default to style number 3 and produce your file anyway.
Here's an example command line and explanation:
RIPIT C:\WC30\DISP\HELLO1.BBS 1
This will result in RIPIT producing HELLO1.RIP using style number 1.
The RIP file will be placed in the directory containing the file
passed on the command line (in this case, C:\WC30\DISP).
The styles are (as best can be explained in this text):
1 - Grey - no buttons
2 - Grey - w/buttons
3 - Blue Grid - no buttons
4 - Green - w/buttons
5 - Red - w/buttons
6 - Blue - no buttons
The following are 'speciality' styles and produce a different type
of RIP screen for you.
7 - Previous Caller - no buttons Shows previous caller
8 - User Stats - no buttons Shows user their statistics
9 - Different - no buttons Colorful screen
10 - Heavy Metal - no buttons Nice Display!
11 - Big Picture - no buttons Window frame type display
12 - Christmas - no buttons Gives holiday greeting
[ Example of how to use RIPIT ]
If you produce a new newsletter file, run RIPIT to create a RIP version
for you. Since we all know the best way to create a newsletter (or any
other display file) is by using WildBull <grin>, create your newsletter
and exit WildBull. From the DOS prompt enter:
RIPIT C:\WC30\DISP\NEWSLTR.BBS 6
This will create a file called C:\WC30\DISP\NEWSLTR.RIP using style
number 6 (Blue - no buttons).
You can also run RIPIT in your batch files to automatically produce
RIPScrip screens using files created by other programs you might run.
RIPIT can be ran from any directory on your computer, but that directory
MUST be on the path (or pass the path as part of the command line -
i.e. C:\UTIL\RIPIT C:\WC30\DISP\NEWSLTR.BBS 6).
[ Registration ]
This software is shareware. As with ALL of my utility programs, I've
priced it so that it is affordable by all (it's only $5.00!). With
registration comes a key that will remove all delays and 'beg' screens.
To register RIPIT, send your check or money order (U.S. funds ONLY,
please), along with a self-addressed, STAMPED envelope. I'll return
your key as quickly as possible.
