Part I ──» DISCLAIMER!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I, Jean-Ray Arseneau will NOT be resposible for ANY Loss of Profit, Failure
to the Program, or any other problems that may be hazardous to You when you
use this Program. In other Words.. U.A.Y.O.R. (Use At Your Own Risk!) From
the testing I have Done, This program works Perfectly! Let's hope it does
for You too!
Part II ──» About This Product (introduction)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wrote this product because I know how much I and many other sysops like to
have an "AutoPost" at login, or even off the Main Menu. This Product is sort
of like a 'Wall', yet, it allows up to 3 messages, 3 Lines Long, the messages
that the Users write, will be posted on The Autoposts for other to read, this
is great for Activities planned, or Quick Bulletins, News, Almost anything
you and your users can think of! All will be displayed on a Beautiful Ansi
Screen that will literally blow you away!
Part III ──» How To Use This Product
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Really, The product is very self explanatory, the Install Program will simply
install the software, then Will bring You to the Config Program, from there,
you can select the Colors you want to have For the Different parts of the
program. (i.e: Handle Color, Autopost Written Color) The Configuration is
not very necessary. In this version, the Config program is *not* included
since the colors I have on default are pretty good, and You can wait a few
days for the next version to be released. <G>. Well, Once the Installation is
finished, and You selected (or not) to have the AutoPost program come up at
login, then Selected the Menu(s) to Have it put it to be accessed from the
Users.
Part IV ──» Install & Configuration Program (Included)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the last part, as I was saying, this first ßeta will *not* have a config
program. But will have a Complete Installation program that will ask you a
few questions related to have the Autopost module load up at login, or have
it put in your Main.Menu or Other Menu Files. And will make the appropriate
directories for the program.
Part V ──» About H.O.P.E. Utils
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
H.O.P.E is a company dedicated to selling products, The Programming Department
for H.O.P.E. is lead by me, Jean-Ray Arseneau, we have a few other people part
of the Team. The Programming department is Dedicated in trying to provide to
you The Best, Most Reliable scripts for the AdeptXBBS System. We Also believe
in the *FreeWare* Concept. About 90% Of All Our Products will be FreeWare, the
other 9% Will Be Email Or CardWare (sendme email, or a postcard), and the 1%
will be a Fee ($). We do spend a lot of time trying to bring you the greatest
scripts, and We know that Like me, A Lot Of Sysops spend a lot/all their money
on their BBS'es (Boards). And don't have money left over for registering
other people's products. That is why our utils are Completly FreeWare!
Part VI ──» Problems
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For Problems, Please go to Appendix B - Contacting the Author.
Part VII ──» Future
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We do Plan on releasing another versions. When the Technology is better, we
try to intergrate it into Our scripts, So when we can add a bit more, that's
when We release the new versions. I can't say how many, but I can say there
will be many more!
Appendix A ──» Word From The Author (must read!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I released this not only for the reason that I stated earlier in the intro.
I also released this as something to keep all of you's waiting t'll I release
the Much Awaited AdeptXBBS Gambling Casino! I *can* say this, The Casino is
ready and set to be released, We Have a little bit of Code to write, and
update the Docs, But I cannot release due the the limitations in the current
Adept REXX Engine. It's A powerful and great engine alright, But For the
Casino to function properly, We Need special functions that will be added
shortly. Once they are added, we will intergrate them into the Casino, test
it out one more time, and Then Release the First beta.
-<advice>- <G>, I use this program in my logon process because it lets users
(when they logon) to view the new autoposts, continue in conversations with
other users, and put up little bulletins, and it makes so that everyone sees
it atleast. All they have to do (if they don't want to write an autopost) is
press <ENTER> and they will by pass all of that. Enjoy!
