-
- ______________________________________________________________________________
-
- Enclosed within this package are two seperate programs for running Color Rle's
- from the Sound of Music BBS EGA and Video Conference. C-RLE.COM is the
- memory resident program that is needed for downloading COLOR RLEs from the
- conference. CRLE.EXE is the program which runs locally on your system to
- view the Color RLEs which you have already downloaded from the BBS.
-
- ______________________________________________________________________________
-
-
- C-RLE.COM is a memory resident program that will allow the user to display RLE
- pictures as they are encountered. The RLE may be viewed on line from the
- BBS or offline by TYPING the file from DOS. C-RLE.COM will read both standard
- and color RLE files. Invoke C-RLE.COM by typing C-RLE <RETURN>. Depending on
- the type of MS-DOS computer you are using, you may or may not have to remove
- your ANSI.SYS from your Boot Disk. Or make the changes listed below to your
- existing ANSI.SYS to correct for this problem.
-
- CRLE.EXE is included in the package so that when viewing Color Rles you do
- not need to have a memory resident program loaded into your system. CRLE.EXE
- also does not require the removal of ANSI.SYS in your config.sys files
- TYPE CRLE at the DOS prompt and the program will prompt you for the name
- of the Color RLE which you wish to display. This program is to be used
- strictly offline and does not support the COM ports.
-
- We are currently working on the additional logic to incorporate the full
- 16 colors.

-
- Patch which may be necessary for ANSI.SYS when running C-RLE.COM
-
- The following is a patch for ANSI.SYS that is included with IBM DOS
- Version 2.10. This patch will enable RLE pictures to be viewed using
- the TYPE command from the DOS command prompt. This also enables them to
- be viewed on-line without setting up an ASCII capture buffer.

- Again, the above patches to your ANSI.SYS may or may not be necessary when
- using C-RLE.COM. Further enhancements of the program will become available
- on the Sound of Music BBS as they are developed. Before attempting to
- debug your ANSI.SYS be sure to make a copy of the program to another
- diskette for backup purposes. Modified ANSI.SYS is not included in this
- package since the program is copy-righted by IBM Systems.
-
- If you find that there are further enhancements needed for this program or
- that the program does not function on your system, please leave a public
- message to Tom Morgan or the sysop in the EGA and Video Conference of the
- Sound of Music BBS at 516-536-8723.
-
- Future plans for C-RLE.COM include the lack of need to patch ansi.sys on
- your system. Updates for this program will be released as soon as possible.
- If you find this program informative and helpful visit the Video Conference
- and support the Sound of Music BBS.
