I. Preface
This release by Dream SoftWorks is on the heals of the release of
Superliners 1.1. Dream SoftWorks is still working on non-BBS related
applications, that should be released in the near future. However, we
felt that this software had a large demand, thus we rushed the production
of it. Dream SoftWorks appears to have taken off since this last release
in nearly doubling the programming staff.
II. Introduction
Smoke-Out(Codename: No-Pipes) is a program to remove pipe colors from
messages. Many BBS programs allow users to send colored messages to one
another via colorful pipe colors(As defined in Superliners documentation).
However, it is quite tiresome on the nets when some bulletin boards are
unable to interpret the pipe codes which had been sent via the net. This
program translates the Pipe colors in to true ANSI colors, thus enabling
the true effect of the original message without making a sysop run a pipe-
color related software.
IIa. Setup
The setup for this program is quite easy. Create a file titled:
SMOKEOUT.INI. In this file define the search specification you wish
to look for on the first line.
ie. *.*
or *.MSG
or *.TXT
On the following lines add the paths pointing to the directories that
are going to be scanned for pipe codes. Without this file, the program
will not run.
IIb. Errors
SMOKEOUT.INI Missing. Please Create.
The configuration file is either missing, or not in the same directory
as your SMOKEOUT.EXE file. Copy this file to the same directory where
the executable is located.
Results in Errorlevel 1
Invalid Search Specification.
There was no period(.) located in your search specification, or the
string was blank. Thus, the program was unable to detect which
search specification you were looking for.
III. Registration
This program is free. All features have been enabled for your use.
Dream SoftWorks, however is in need for contributions, and all will
be gladly accepted. Contributions includes donations, compliments,
suggestions, and criticism.
IIIa.Future Projects
Future Projects currently in development:
o Renegade BBS Lister
o Personal Manager for Windows and DOS
o Sound player and converter
o VGA Drawing program
o Version 2.0 of Rumors
o VGA Bulletin Board Graphics for use with all Terminal Programs

IIIb.Addendum

Superliners crosses all boundaries, and can be used in almost
all Bulletin Board programs.
