- Shareware Version vs. Registered Version
- ----------------------------------------
- The shareware version of Emoticon TSR takes up approximately 32k. The
- registered version will use only about 10k of memory. Also, the shareware
- version is limited to a maximum of 50 emoticons, while the registered version
- will allow up to 500. Last but not least, the shareware version contains a
- registration screen. This limits the number of on screen emoticons to 8
- lines, while the registered version allows full screen selection of your
- emoticons.
-
-
- Running the program
- -------------------
- In order for the program to find its data file, you must enter the
- following line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
-
- SET EMOTICON=<path>\EMOTICON.TXT
-
- For example, if you installed this program on drive C of your computer in
- a sub-directory called EMOTICON, you would have to enter the line
-
- SET EMOTICON=C:\EMOTICON\EMOTICON.TXT
-
- into your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. You may do this by using the EDIT command
- that is included with MS-DOS versions 5.0 and above. After you have made
- changes to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, be sure to save the changes and reboot
- your computer. The changes will not take place until the computer has been
- rebooted. You may do this by pressing <CTRL><ALT><DEL> at the same time at
- the DOS prompt.
-
- To load the TSR into your computers memory, type EMOTICON at the DOS prompt.
- After the TSR has been loaded, at any time you may press <ALT><TAB> to run
- the program. Using the arrow keys, highlight the emoticon that you wish to
- send and press <ENTER>. This will cause all characters on the line up to a
- space to be stuffed into the keyboard buffer. If you do not wish to have
- any characters sent, simply press <ESC> to exit the selection screen.
-
-
- Editing the Data File
- ---------------------
- If you would like to edit the data file to add your own emoticons or
- place the most often used ones at the top of the list, feel free. You can
- use any standard text editor that writes an ASCII file. However, please
- remember that the program will stop as soon as it sees a space. Your emoticon
- must been at the beginning of the line and there must be at least one space
- between the emoticon and the description.
-
