WixFix V1.0 for NetRunner (tm)
Copyright (C) 1992 by T. White and A. Haxton
Introduction
------------
WixFix is a small file to allow ANSI users to use NetRunner
on an RA (or compatible) system in color. A little juggling is needed
with the setup to get it to work, but it is possible.
How to do it
------------
It's very easy to use WixFix, merely have it in the directory
where NetRunner calls your Dorinfo1.Def and run it. It creates a new
file called Dorinfo2.Def which you should have NetRunner call instead.
A sample batch file for multi lines would be:
@ECHO OFF
CD \OLGAMES\NETRUN
IF %1==1 GOTO LINE1
IF %1==2 GOTO LINE2
GOTO END
:LINE1
COPY D:\RA\LINE1\DORINFO1.DEF
WIXFIX
NETRUN D:\OLGAMES\NETRUN\DORINFO2.DEF
DEL CONTROL.DAT
CD\RA\LINE1
GOTO END
:LINE2
COPY D:\RA\LINE2\DORINFO1.DEF
WIXFIX
NETRUN D:\OLGAMES\NETRUN\DORINFO2.DEF
DEL CONTROL.DAT
CD\RA\LINE2
GOTO END
:END
For a single line, try:
@ECHO OFF
CD \OLGAMES\NETRUN
COPY D:\RA\LINE1\DORINFO1.DEF
WIXFIX
NETRUN D:\OLGAMES\NETRUN\DORINFO2.DEF
CD\RA\
How it works
------------
When NetRunner reads the Dorinfo1.Def file, on line 10 (the
graphics emulation line) it reads 0 and 1 as ASCII, 2 and 3 as ANSI.
The actual structure is: 0=ASCII, 1=ANSI, 2=AVATAR, and 3=ANSI & AVATAR.
What WixFix does is it reads Line 10 of the Dorinfo file, and if it's a
1 it turns it into a 2 and saves the whole thing as Dorinfo2.Def without
ever actually touching the Dorinfo1.Def (so that everything is safe.)

In Closing
----------
In closing, I think that NetRunner is a very cool game, and I
encourage everyone to call up there local BBS, and play it for a few
hours, or demand that their Sysop get it if he hasn't already. Thanks,
