SHOWIT v1.7
(c) 1993 by Ken Collins
v1.0 - 3/19/93 - initial release
v1.7 - 3/27/93 - minor code changes, included Animated ANSI screen set
SHOWIT was written as a tool for use with the STUNY modification package for
RBBS v17.4a. The purpose is to direct ANSI screens out the communications
port either from the command line or through batch files. SHOWIT has been
tested under DESQview v2.42. SHOWIT will redirect a user configurable ANSI file
out a communications port or display the file locally. The original idea was
for use with the modification for RBBS written by Richie Molinelli to permit use
of all 3 flavors of batch files when running test files for new uploads. It can
be used in any batch file to redirect the contents of a text/ANSI file out a
communications port thereby permitting use with other BBS packages which run
batch files for testing purposes or doors.
The command line for SHOWIT is very simple. It consists of the program command
with the file to be redirected as a parameter, the redirect symbol and the COM
port to redirect to.
ie: SHOWIT SCR1 > COM2
This would redirect the contents of the file SCR1 out COM2.
To display a file locally just enter SHOWIT <path\filename>. This facilitates
the makeup of ANSI slide shows locally. Run the enclosed EXAMPLE.BAT file
to see a sample.
