PCB, ANSI/ASCII and RipScript Bulletin Generator for Voter Plus (tm).
VPlusBLT Copyright 1992-94 Keith N. Cochran - All Rights Reserved.
Overview:
I've had many users of Voter Plus suggest that they would like a way
to allow their callers to view the results of the Voter Plus door
without actually having to enter the door.
Well, here is it.
Operation:
Simply copy the VPLUSBLT.EXE into the same directory where VOTER.EXE
resides. Add a line to the door batch file that calls Voter Plus.
The syntax is:
VPLUSBLT [ /ANS:Fname /ASC:Fname /PCB:Fname /RIP:Fname ] [ /TYPE:Style ]
You must specify at least one /xxx:Fname parameter. /TYPE: is only needed
when making a RIP style file and valid choices are "BAR" or "PIE".
The default is "BAR".
I would suggest calling this program AFTER the door is run, so the results
will always be up-to-date.
If the optional file "VPLUSBLT.HDR" is found, it will be added to the
beginning of the file "Filename". A sample VPLUSBLT.HDR file is included.
There are two macros that may be embedded in the VPLUSBLT.HDR file. They
are +DATE+ and +TIME+. If found, they will be replaced with the Date and
Time that the bulletin file was last updated. This is NOT used with the
RIP style bulletin.
An optional file named "VPLUSBLT.CFG" may contain up to 4 lines. The first
being @CLS@ which will preceed the display of each booth. The second line
may contain @MORE@ or @PAUSE@. and will follow the display of each booth.
Lines 3 and 4 are only used when making RIP files, and are NOT optional if
you plan to make RIP files.
Line 3 MUST contain @WAIT@ or an equivalent macro that will generate a
"Press Enter to Continue" type prompt.
Line 4 MUST contain the character that the RIP file should return to the
BBS to stop displaying the file. In the case of PCBoard, this character
would be a "N".
For PCBoard the file would contain:
@CLS@
@MORE@
@WAIT@
N
Lines 2, 3 and 4 MUST contain an entry if you wish to generate RIP bulletins.
VOTERBLT must be run from the same directory where VOTER.DAT and VOTER.CNF are.
