The only exception is that of converting to a different archive format. 2) You are allowed to modify the program's executable files for your own personal use, provided however you are a registered user of the program, and you agree NOT to distribute the modified files. 3) You are restricted from modifying the document files in any way. TGQuote has no warranty, and no other responsibilities are implied. We (the authors) assume no responsibility for damages that may have been caused by the program. This in no way implies that the program was intended to do any damage in any way, shape, or form. You agree to accept any damages that the program may cause. TGQuote is copyrighted under the United States laws concerning copyrights of electronic media. All rights under this law are reserved, and any violation of this law, no matter how severe, will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. If you have registered TGQuote, you are restricted from distributing your keycode in ANY fashion, whether it be by word of mouth, message transfer, file transfer, or any way that would enable other people to acquire the information that will register TGQuote. Failure to follow any of the restrictions will result in withdrawal of your keycode from registration, and prosecution (if applicable). TGQuote v5.0 - Copyright (C) 1993-1994 2 ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Upgrading from version 4.5 or below ──────────────────────────────────- Provided in this archive of TGQuote is a utility called CONVERT.EXE. The update to version 5.0 is rather simple, some text just needed to be changed in the control codes of the quote files. This is only a minor update. There have been so many things added to TGQuote since the release of 4.5, that we don't think we can remember all of them for this file! What is listed here is a brief explanation of the feature. 1) Registration. TGQuote must now be registered (bummer!). This decision was made for several reasons, some personal - some not. The registration fee is only $5 and you only have to pay it once, but the benefits are endless. For more information concerning registering TGQuote, refer to the TGQuote docs and REGISTER.FRM. From now on, any features that are available only to registered users will be marked "*REGISTERED ONLY*". 2) RIP graphics improved! You may now select the colors for RIP graphics! The colors you selected for the ANSI graphics are the colors used by TGQuote for the RIP graphics. 3) Custom Layouts! You can now design your own layouts for use with ANSI graphics. RIP graphics aren't yet supported by this feature, but I hope to have this fixed in the future. However, read on, there is another feature you can use if you can't stand that boring internal RIP screen! *REGISTERED ONLY* 4) ANSI/RIP File Import. You can now import a custom made ANSI or RIP screen for TGQuote to use. These files can contain anything you want in them - from a simple design, to a complex picture. For more information on this feature, read the TGQuote docs! *REGISTERED ONLY* 5) New EditQuote feature. EditQuote has once again been added in this version of TGQuote. At the current moment, the new EditQuote does NOT support moving the quote from one file to the another. 6) AddQuote/RemoteQuote revamped. AddQuote and RemoteQuote both have been revamped for this version. In order to save quotes, you must now enter a "/S" instead of pressing enter. This modification allows you to enter blank lines in the quote, making the quote layout more flexible. 7) SetQuote improved. Many bugs have been removed. The color selection area has been improved, along with basic controls. TGQuote v5.0 - Copyright (C) 1993-1994 3 ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Introduction to TGQuote ─────────────────────── TGQuote is a program that generates a text file containing a quote someone said. The program can generate a file in RIP graphics, ANSI, or TTY. You are allowed to enter up to 10 lines for the quote, with 65 characters per line. If your copy of TGQuote is registered, you have access to more features! If you are using ANSI, you can create your own layout; if you are using RIP, you can import a RIP screen you created. TGQuote has support for ANSI, and limited RIP capabilities. You can import a pre-generated file for use under either mode. All you need to have in the file are some simple MCI codes. More on the generating capabilities of TGQuote later in the document. We as the authors wish to thank you for choosing TGQuote as your quote software. We have done our best to provide you with a well layed-out system for making common quotes (or not-so-common quotes) displayable anywhere. Whether it be at a BBS or at your place of business, this is a good way to raise people's spirits or to provide a laugh at any time it may be needed. TGQuote v5.0 - Copyright (C) 1993-1994 4 ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Configuring TGQuote ──────────────────- To configure TGQuote, you can use the program called SetQuote. To access this file, type QUOTE /S at the DOS prompt. This program is designed to ease the setup process for TGQuote. SetQuote is menu driven, making it easy to use. Each option is listed, and has an explanation of it telling what it is for. -- Set Paths This is the area where you enter the path that TGQuote will use when reading or saving information to/from the disk. -- Set Starting Message For this entry, select what you would like TGQuote to print before the quote. This entry can be anything 35 characters in length or shorter. The default message is "Today's Quote Is:" -- Toggle Author With this entry, you can select whether TGQuote will display the author when making the output quote file. -- Set Quote Selection Mode With this field, you can tell TGQuote whether to randomly select a quote or sequentially select a quote when running in normal mode. -- Select Color Mode With this entry, you can select which color mode TGQuote will use when generating the quote file. You have the choice of ANSI or RIP graphics. -- Color Configuration In the entries that follow, you will be able to configure TGQuote to use the colors you want when generating the quote file. If you are using an imported file, these are the colors TGQuote will use if it can't find the file to import. -- Printer Configuration The following entries will allow you to configure PrintQuote to your printer. This feature will allow you to print your .QTS files on a printer so you may read them. -- Layout Configuration This is the area where you select the layouts TGQuote will use when generating the quote file. If TGQuote is registered, you can also select to use a custom designed layout, or import a file. If selecting to import a file, enter the path and filename at the prompt, WITH NO EXTENSION!! To use an internal or a custom layout, enter a blank entry. To generate the custom layout, use the program LAYOUT.EXE. TGQuote v5.0 - Copyright (C) 1993-1994 5 ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── -- Toggle Screen Clearing This feature allows you to select whether TGQuote will clear the screen before the quote is printed. -- Toggle Pause This feature allows you to select whether TGQuote will pause for a key press after the quote has been printed. If selected yes, this feature will allow you to enter the pause string to be used after the quote file is displayed. -- Reset to Defaults Use this option to return ALL SETTINGS to their default settings. This is helpful when want to start you configuration file from scratch. -- View Setup Use this option to view the current settings of the data file loaded. -- Add Quote Information This feature allows you to enter specific quote file information. You can tell TGQuote whether to print the author or not, depending on the setting you use, regardless of the setting in your QUOTE.DAT file. The same goes for the starting message. If this information is not included in the quote file, TGQuote will use the settings listed within your QUOTE.DAT file. -- Set RemoteQuote Information Use this option to set the settings in your REMOTE.CFG file. REMOTE.CFG is used by RemoteQuote to find where your drop file is, what kind of drop file to look for, the name of your BBS, and the SysOp's name. -- Change Data File Use this option to change from either QUOTE.DAT, or REMOTE.DAT. REMOTE.DAT is used by TGQuote when generating a quote entered via RemoteQuote. TGQuote v5.0 - Copyright (C) 1993-1994 6 ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The Quote Generating System of TGQuote ────────────────────────────────────── The quote generating system is rather unique to this copy of TGQuote. What the system will do is select a quote from the files you have (Extension .QTS) and put it into a creative little file for display on your BBS (or whatever). There are many things you can do with this system. Needed are the following things: FILES.DAT - This file is used to help TGQuote determine what quote files it is to use for importing quotes. Make sure you have this file, or you won't be able to produce any quotes. *.QTS - Of course, you must have quote files in order to generate the bulletin. REMOTE.CFG - If you plan on using the RemoteQuote feature of TGQuote, you must have this file to define how the "door" will act. QUOTE.DAT / REMOTE.DAT - These are the configuration files. Note you can have separate configurations for both the quote generator and the RemoteQuote feature of TGQuote. Manually Selecting a Quote ────────────────────────── To manually select a quote, type QUOTE /M at the DOS prompt. You will first be prompted for the quote file you want to select a quote from. Once you have entered the filename, TGQuote will begin to display the quotes from within that file. Once the screen is full, TGQuote will prompt you for an action. You may either select a quote (S), display the next page (N), jump to a quote (J), change the quote file (C), or quit to DOS (Q). The default is selecting a quote. As a short cut, if you know the quote you want to jump to or select, you can add the number to the action letter; for example, S110. TGQuote v5.0 - Copyright (C) 1993-1994 7 ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Custom Layouts ────────────── If TGQuote is registered, you have the ability to use Custom Layouts. To make a custom layout, simply use the utility included with TGQuote, LAYOUT.EXE LAYOUT.EXE is navigated by using the arrow keys. Simply move to the section whose character you want to change and press the ENTER key. It will then prompt you to enter the character you wish to use. Note that extended characters are entered by holding down the ALT key and then typing the extended code of the character on your keypad. To quit, press Q. It will then give you a prompt of Yes/No/Cancel. If you wish to save your layout, press 'Y' for Yes. If you do not wish to save, press 'N'. To cancel this operation, press 'C'. To load the configuration you last saved, press 'L'. To reset to default, press 'D'. Online help is available by pressing F1. Import Files ──────────── They're easy to create. For ANSI, you need an ANSI drawing program that supports animation. TheDraw is a very popular choice, and fits the requirements. For RIP, you just need a RIP graphics drawing program. For ANSI, you must set your drawing mode to animation. Create your ANSI, then go back and put down the MCI codes that are appropriate. For RIP, just put it in where you want it. Here are the MCI supported by TGQuote: %M This is the STARTING MESSAGE MCI. Ie, "The Quote for the day:" %Q1 These are the QUOTE LINES MCI Codes. %Q1 is line 1, %Q2 is . line 2, %Q3 is line 3, etc... Up to %Q10 which is line 10. . %Q10 %A This is the AUTHOR MCI. %N This is the AUTHOR NOTE MCI. %V This is the VERSION NUMBER MCI. %R This is the REGISTRATION INFORMATION MCI. To have TGQuote import the file, while in SetQuote, you must specify the filename in the Layout Configuration. Enter the path and filename at the prompt, WITH NO EXTENSION!! To use an internal or a custom layout, enter a blank entry. TGQuote v5.0 - Copyright (C) 1993-1994 8 ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Quote Files ─────────── The quote files are simply text files with special codes to instruct the program how to interpret them (this may change in a later version). We would not suggest trying to modify these by hand, as we have provided many special utilities to do it for you. Adding Quotes to the .QTS Files ─────────────────────────────── To add quotes to a quote file, you must run the program called AddQuote. To access this file, type QUOTE /A at the DOS prompt. When you run the program, you are asked what quote file to add to, or to create. From there, you may enter in a quote of up to 10 lines, with up to 65 characters in each line. You do not need to add quotation marks to the quote -- the program does it automatically. When you are done entering the quote, press /S. This will save the quote you entered. You don't have to enter this if you are on line 10. Once you save the quote, the program prompts for the author. Again, you need not add quotation marks. If you make a mistake, you can start over -- AddQuote asks if you want to keep that quote. That's it! The program does the rest. It creates a quote file with the extension ".QTS" and places that in the TGQuote directory. When it completes the creation of that quote, it gives you the option of adding another without having to re-run the program. Editing/Modifying Quotes Already in the .QTS Files ───────────────────────────────────────────────── Editing works very similar to AddQuote. Instead of being given blank lines to enter your quotes on, the lines have the quote you have selected already entered. You also are given the opportunity to edit the author's name and note. Along with editing, you are allowed to delete quotes from your quote file. Moving quotes will return in version 5.5. Printing Out your Quote Files ───────────────────────────── To print your quote files (*.QTS), you must use PrintQuote by typing QUOTE /P at the DOS prompt. The first entry you are prompted for, is the quote file you want to print. Next, you will be prompted for an action. You may select whether to print (P), change the quote file (C), or quit to DOS (Q). If you select print, you will be prompted for what quote to begin printing on. The default is quote 1. TGQuote v5.0 - Copyright (C) 1993-1994 9 ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Letting Your Users Generate Custom Quotes ───────────────────────────────────────── To do this, you must have a REMOTE.DAT and REMOTE.CFG file. These are both created using SetQuote. Once you have them both setup, run RemoteQuote by typing QUOTE /R REMOTE.CFG. RemoteQuote supports 7 different drop files. RemoteQuote will execute, and the user can send a quote to the next user WITHOUT CORRUPTING YOUR QUOTE FILES! RemoteQuote will generate a temporary quote file that TGQuote will use and delete once it is detected. Once the user is done adding their quote, TGQuote will self run, and generate the quote. This feature was originally done by using some external method of execution such as X-SHELL or DOORWAY. When Todd Hendricks entered the project it was re-written to be done completely internally. This was the first thing changed when he entered the TGQuote project. <clap clap> TGQuote v5.0 - Copyright (C) 1993-1994 10 ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Registering TGQuote ─────────────────── To register TGQuote, just follow the instructions contained in the REGISTER.FRM file included in this archive. The registration fee is only $5, and can be paid with either a check or money order. Please make the check or money order payable to Mark Radabaugh. If you register TGQuote, you will have access to all the special features of TGQuote. We will send you a letter, which will contain your personal key and a list of features you now have access to. This letter will also contain instructions on how to enter your key into the program. We will send this letter to you via U.S. "snail" Mail. If you wish, we may also be able to give you the instructions and key by calling your BBS. If you wish this method, just leave a note in the REGISTER.FRM file. TGQuote v5.0 - Copyright (C) 1993-1994 11 ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Future versions of TGQuote ────────────────────────── For the next major release, TGQuote will go through an extensive re-fit. The program will be completely re-written from the ground up. This will hopefully streamline the program and remove redundant code. This should make the program smaller and faster. We're not sure when this version will be completed, as this will be a major undertaking. We hope to add many new features, and improve on some old ones. If you have any ideas, read the README.NOW file included in this archive. As for the quote files, these will be encrypted, along with the .DAT files to assure that nothing may be screwed up either on purpose or by accident. (This also will make it look more 'professional' <g>) TGQuote v5.0 - Copyright (C) 1993-1994 12 ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Revision History ──────────────── 1.0 02-09-1993 First public release of TGQuote. 1.1 02-12-1993 Fixed a minor bug where TGQuote was not looking for the file SAYINGS.QTS properly. See Bug Reports section below. - FIXED - 2.0 02-17-1993 Added the ability to do color by using the Telegard color codes. This version also allows the ability to add the authors. Also released AddQuote, a program that allows the user to add quotes without the need of a text editor. Also incorporated a new layout. 3.0 03-13-1993 More flexibility added. TGQuote now allows you to change the header, color, and the author field. Also integrated in this version is the ability to do a 4 line quote. Also released SetQuote, a program that allows the user to make changes to the setup of TGQuote with ease. 3.1 03-16-1993 Fixed a minor bug where SetQuote was not saving some of the fields correctly. See Bug Reports section below. - FIXED - 3.5 04-18-1993 Much more flexibility added. TGQuote now has three layouts to choose from instead of one. This release welcomes the return of the box layout. TGQuote can also randomly select between the three layouts. Also, AddQuote is a little more informative when editing quotes. It now displays the bad quote on the bottom of the screen when correcting it. 3.6 04-26-1993 Fixed a minor bug in AddQuote. When entering many quotes without exiting the program, sometimes AddQuote would do one of two things: 1) It would not let you enter all the lines to a quote; or 2) It would not store the quote properly. Sometimes it even did both! See Bug Reports section below. - FIXED - Also, added some minor features to TGQuote that were intended to be included in the 3.5 release, but were somehow missed. See Bug Reports section below. - ADDED - 4.0 07-03-1993 Major upgrade. This version now allows the user to manually select a quote, generate a text only file, edit a quote, print a quote, use different quote files, run AddQuote remotely, and much more. This version also has many more styles for the layouts, and includes the ability to do ANSI. 4.1 07-17-1993 Fixed many minor bugs within the program. When entering an option in manual mode of TGQuote, if the option was not listed as a valid option, TGQuote would do something very weird. Many other bugs were fixed. See Bug Reports section below. - FIXED - TGQuote v5.0 - Copyright (C) 1993-1994 13 ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 4.2 08-23-1993 Fixed several bugs in the remote mode of AddQuote. TGQuote will now work properly when used with the included ADDQUOTE.BAT file, and X-Shell. Please read the READNOW.TXT file contained in this archive for examples on how to setup your BBS to use this feature. See Bug Reports section below. - FIXED - 4.5 02-01-1994 Several changes and additions. SetQuote, and AddQuote re-written from the ground up. The remote mode of AddQuote was completely re-written, and renamed to RemoteQuote. More layout styles added, along with the ability to add an "author note." Maximum number of lines allowed in a quote raised to 10. New coding used in several places. RIP graphics capability added. Many other changes and additions. Please read the WHATS.NEW file contained in this archive for a list of what has been added/changed for this version. 5.0 06-23-1994 Several changes and additions. Colors for RIP graphics are now the same as those for ANSI. TGQuote must now be registered. A feature to design a custom layout has been added for ANSI users; and a feature to import an ANSI or RIP file. The .QTS files had a minor structure change, and can be modified to the 5.0 format with CONVERT.EXE. EditQuote has returned, although the move feature has yet been included again. Many other changes and additions. Please read the WHATS.NEW file contained in this archive for a list of what has been added/changed for this version. TGQuote v5.0 - Copyright (C) 1993-1994 14 ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Bug Reports ─────────── - 1.1 - Thanks to Scott Raymond of Shadowdale BBS (718)-934-1843 for reporting a bug in TGQuote where it improperly searched for the SAYINGS.QTS file. TGQuote was constantly looking for the file in a set location, instead of looking for it in the directory set in the data file. - FIXED - - 3.1 - Thanks to The General of The Reconstruction BBS (708)-668-1009 for reporting a bug in SetQuote version 1.0. When asking about the author field, if you used any lowercase letters, SetQuote would save it as a lowercased letter. Therefore, TGQuote would not process the information properly. Due to this bug, SetQuote will now display and save the Path, Filename and Author fields in uppercase letters. - FIXED - Version numbers in all programs have been changed and are now the same for continuity purposes. This is to help alleviate any confusion you may have. - 3.6 - Thanks to The General of The Reconstruction BBS (708)-668-1009 for reporting a bug in AddQuote version 3.5. If you were to enter several quotes without exiting the program, sometimes AddQuote would not let you enter up to four lines in a quote. Sometimes, it wouldn't store the quotes correctly. Every once in a while it would do both! - FIXED - TGQuote will now give you an error message if it can't find SAYINGS.QTS or QUOTE.DAT. This minor addition was intended to be included in the 3.5 release, but was missed. This will keep TGQuote from giving you a run-time error every time it couldn't find the file. - ADDED - - 4.1 - Thanks to Brian Madison of the former Galaxy BBS for reporting a bug in TGQuote 4.0. When using ANSI, TGQuote would not return back to white on black colors. Instead it would remain on the colors you selected for the background (black on whatever). - FIXED - I noticed another bug while using TGQuote in manual mode. If you enter an invalid option at the "Select Option" area, the program would give a run-time error, and then proceed to overwrite your "LOGONx.MSG" file. To prevent this, if you now enter an invalid option, the program will sound a beep, and return you to the option. - FIXED - Also, in manual mode of TGQuote, EditQuote and PrintQuote, a help option has been added to inform you of each option action. - ADDED - - 4.2 - While doing some extensive testing of TGQuote, I noticed a few small bugs in the program concerning the remote mode of AddQuote. Whenever you tried to run AddQuote remotely, if it could not find your QUOTE.DAT file, the program would panic and report a run-time error. The problem was that it looked in the current directory for the file, (which could very well have been your BBS directory!) and didn't see it. This problem has been fixed by adding a simple line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. - FIXED - TGQuote v5.0 - Copyright (C) 1993-1994 15 ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── I also added a feature where TGQuote will "re-execute" itself, in a limited fashion, to generate the quote. This removed the need to re-run the program. While doing the self run, TGQuote will display a message stating it is generating the quote. - ADDED - NOTE: Special thanks go out to Sam Bergen and Stuart Mackey for help with extensive testing of this feature. TGQuote v5.0 - Copyright (C) 1993-1994 14 ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Note From the Authors: ────────────────────── Hey gang! This is Mark Radabaugh here. I started working on TGQuote back in February of 1993. Since that time the software has evolved to support a wide variety of BBS software. The original version was only TTY, and only allowed a one line quote of 60 characters, and NO author! Eventually, the program was modified to allow color via TG's MCI color codes, an author, and 4 quote lines of 65 characters. Since that time it has dropped TG MCI color code support, started to support ANSI, and eventually RIP graphics. Feeling that 4 lines weren't enough, the maximum was raised to 10 lines, and eventually an author "note" capability was added to the list of features. Eventually, the program was modified to allow a BBS user to send a quote to the next user. Eventually, Todd Hendricks was added to the "team," and with him a new invaluable insight was added. Together, we have fixed many problems seen with the program - including a very redundant way of making the software act as a door for the BBS users. This redundant "remote mode of AddQuote," was removed and replaced with RemoteQuote. Together Todd and I have seen this program evolve. We are constantly bashing our heads and "yelling" at each other over the phone. But, during the time we have known each other, we have become good friends. And, together we will continue to "create" more programs, and work on TGQuote. And finally, I want to thank you for choosing TGQuote, and giving me the opportunity to write it. - Mark Radabaugh Author Hiya. Todd Hendricks here. I came into this project right before version 4.5 was released to the public and I am glad to say I am very pleased with the way that 5.0 has turned out. I am confident that 5.5 will be one of the best releases yet. Who knows? We may even discontinue the TGQuote line, and start a new one, perhaps with a new name such as QUOTE!. But you never can tell. When Mark Radabaugh originally started on the TGQuote series, TELEGARD by Martin Pollard was the prominent Bulletin Board software of the time. Since that time, many great BBS Softwares have come out, namely Renegade, and with the upcoming release of Telegard 3.0, and all of the other BBS Systems out there, we find it hard to specialize anymore. Please remember, if you have ANY ideas or bug reports, please report them to us. Any bug reports (that are genuine for ALL systems. If they only occur on your system, we will do our best to help you.) and any ideas that are implemented in a future version of TGQuote you will receive a FREE registration, along with all the benefits associated with registration. Thank you for choosing TGQuote as your quote software. - Todd Hendricks Co-Author
