Psych0Liner version 0.45
Copyright (C) 1995,1996 by Andrew Ziem
-= What is Psych0Liner?
Psych0Liner is a oneliner program, and it's free. It's like a graffiti
board, but it's only oneline per entry.
-= Disclaimer / Legal stuff
I've done my best to make Psych0Liner bug-free and safe to use which doesn't
mean it couldn't cause a program. If you agree to use this program you agree
that I am not liable for damages that may result in Psych0Liner's use.
-= Licence
Psych0Liner is the copyrighted material of Andrew Ziem. It may only be used
in accordance with the conditions set out in this license agreement.
You are encouraged to distribute Psych0Liner provided that no fee is charged
for its distribution, and that the distribution archive is not modified in
any way. A fee may be charged only for physical distribution, only to
recover your actual costs which occured in the transfer.
You may not modify or otherwise reverse-engineer Psych0Liner.
-= Important for this version
Bulletins are under construction.
Run PL40TO45.EXE to upgrade PLINER.CFG from v0.40 to V0.45.
Not all of the new language file is in use, such as the command keys.
Some of the lower security level definitions don't do anything.
@ does not work in the language file as does external texts.

-= MCI Color Pipe Codes
Psych0Liner uses the same simple color code system as many other
BBS programs. A pipe | is followed after two numbers, two numbers are
always required. 00 through 15 affect the foreground. 00 is black and
15 is white. 16 through 23 affect the background. 16 is black and 23
is white.
examples:
|21|05Dark Purple on Light Purple
|00INVISABLE!?!?|15YES! |05W|13OW!
Psych0Liner's other MCI code system, which is designed mainly for the
user's use, uses `x. x is a character from 1 to 9, 0 or ! through %. 1
being dark blue and % being white. This method can't change the background
color.
examples:
`5Dark Purple
`%YES! `5W`#OW!
-= Psych0Liner's Unique Extended MCI
These only affect the foreground, and are used mostly internally
by Psych0Liner, the purpose is to easily change your color scheme. You can
change what they represent in the colors section of the configuration.
50 UpperCase 51 LowerCase 52 Numbers 53 Punctuation 54 Hibit
55 Oneliners 56 Errors 57 Menu HotKeys 58 Menu Text
59 Menu Brackets 60 Light Lines 61 Medium Lines 62 Dark
-= Other MCI
These follow the ~xx pattern. Example: ~TR (total runs).
TR total runs
TW total oneliners written
SA system name (from config)
SC clear screen
SG beep (ASCII code 7)
SM <CR> + <LF> (ASCII codes 13 and 10)
SU environment & version
SV Psych0Liner version
SY | (not translated as an MCI code, used for examples)
SZ ` (not translated as an MCI code, used for examples)
UF first name
UH handle (name selected for use)
UL last name
UR realname (full)
-= Psych0Tag
Psych0Liner has support for my tagline program, Psych0Tag.
Psych0Liner calls Psych0Tag to put a tagline to a file then reads it
and adds it to the oneliners. Psych0Liner interally passes a command
line to Psych0Tag.
To turn on support for Psych0Tag put Psych0Tag's full path and filename
in the main configuration. A tagline can be imported from the miscellaneous
section of the config or by runing "PLINER /T".
See the FREQ_US file on how to get a copy of Psych0Tag.
-= Registration
If you like Psych0Liner please let me know so, it can really get me
going. Send me a postcard, netmail or even money. If you wish to send
money, $5 to $10 US dollars is a fair amount. I don't have keys yet, since
this is freeware.

-= Bugs
I've spent many long hours trying to make programs that everyone can use
and enjoy. I do my very best to make it bug-free and work with many diffrent
setups. If you find a bug, please tell me. I can't fix it if I don't know
enough about it.
Please make all bug reports as thorough as you can. Detail when the
problem occurs, what it does and doesn't do, and what it says when it
happens. All this information can make it a LOT easier to locate and fix the
bug. Also, please give a detailed description of your setup as possible.
Things like CPU, modem, BBS software, dropfile type, operating system name,
version etc really help!
