DISCLAIMER
----------
This program may screw up your message files, as it is still in
the beta stage. These are the only files that are written to, and
only the file you tell it. It would be good practice to back-up
the file you'll be using. RGSQ also opens other Renegade files,
but will only read from them.
"I hereby exclude me or my BBS from any blame caused by running
this program. This software is provided AS IS. It works perfectly
on my computer and hasn't caused any problems, but in the event
it happens to cause loss of data or damage to your system, I am
not liable. "

WHY RGSQ?
---------
Because it was there? Really. I needed a utility that would
automagically create the Renegade Echoes for me. I looked, and
didn't see anything, so threw this RGSQ thing together.
REQUIREMENTS
------------
I've tested and retested this, and even created a 100k
environment, and still loaded the program, read all datafiles,
and wrote to the message base without error.
Requirements: Lots of Coffee, cigarettes (if smoker), reading
material, music. The reason for the strenuous requirements,
is....If you have this utility set up right, you won't be doing
much else with your Renegade Bases. Yeah, I know, it does, and
will get boring, but that's what computers are for.
USAGE
-----
How to use RGSQ:
RGSQ is set to read the SQUISH.CFG file, and get most of the
required information from this file. The 1st Line of your
SQUISH.CFG should read:
;RENEGADE C:\RENEGADE\
This is the path to your Renegade.Dat file.
Place the following line AT THE END of the SQUISH.CFG file:
;RGS_START
This is important. If you place this anywhere else, like the top
(1st line), then RGSQ will look at all the echoes, and create new
ones.
Parameters:
/A - Append Description to Base Name. This option is for
the users that are using Seal Describe option
before loading RGSQ.
/C - To use this option, set your Tag Groups to match

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Renegades Conferences. Group A - Conference A. RGSQ
will set the Echo access to C? where ? is the
Group.
/NOLOG - Turn off logging feature. Default is on, and is set
to log all additions to logfile as set in
SQUISH.CFG
