RIP in RA
July 20,1993
This text file describes how I have implemented RIP in
my BBS setup of RA. It is not the only or the best way to
implement it, just a way.
Create two subdirectories off of the main RA directory.
\RA\RIPTXT to hold the text files displayed
\RA\RIPMNU to hold the menus
Copy the ENGLISH.RAL file to RIP.RAL
Setup the RIP protocol as a Language in RACONFIG as
follows:
Name RIP
Available Yes
Language text
Menu path C:\RA\RIPMNU
Text path C:\RA\RIPTXT
Ques C:\RA\RIPTXT
Filename C:\RA\RIP.RAL
Now create your various scenes with a RIP Drawing
program of your choice. I use RIPaint by TeleGrafixs
RIPaint creates a file with an extension of .RIP.
Copy the newly created scenes to the \RA\RIPTXT
directory changing the extension to .ANS
Edit the new file with your favorite text editor and
place an ASCII 5 () character or a club symbol as the
first character of the first line. This can be done by
holding down the Alt key pressing the numeric keypad 5
and releasing
The RIP Menus will need to be changed to display the
various new ANS files as any other graphical menu. Use
the type 40 option, Display ANS with hot keys active.
It is a few extra steps to display the RIP scenes but
well worth the effort. Your users will love it!
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
======================
If you want additional information, files or help with
any of the above text I maintain a full line of files
and an echo devoted entirely to RIP. The RIP Echo as
fast as it is growing will soon be on the backbone of
FidoNet.
For a list of all RIP files currently available (FREQ)
