If this is the first time you are using "SysOpMaker", then you DON'T need
to use the CONVERT program. This is for SysOp's that already have a list
of BBS's going and don't want to hand edit the new list.
Converts v1.0 - v1.4 to v1.5 thru 2.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Converting from v1.0 - v1.5 to v2.1 Re-COPY all files to QUES directory.
Quick start:
------------
Copy the new SYSOPMKR.EXE, QUES0003.DAT & CONVERT.EXE files to your QUES
directory.
Type: CONVERT QUES0003.001 Then rename NEWQUES.NEW to QUES0003.001
Run SYSOPMKR.BAT (output file)
Delete CONVERT.EXE
Done!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Long Explanation:
-----------------
What you need to do to convert your OLD QUES00xx.001 to the NEW QUES00xx.001
Make a backup copy of your OLD QUES0003.001 file... put it away.
(number I use)
Place the program "CONVERT.EXE" in your C:\WC30\QUES "QUES" directory.
Where the OLD "QUES00xx.001" file is.
Then... Start the program like this:
CONVERT QUES0003.001 - (or whatever # you gave it)
Your new output listing is called NEWQUES.NEW rename it to QUES0003.001
Then rerun SYSOPMKR.BAT and check it for corrections... there shouldn't
be any though.
You will notice the new output is a little larger, this is for the
spacing on the questionnair.
You may change the colors or wording in QUES0003.DAT to your liking!
But NOT the order or size!!!! (use MAKEQUES.EXE)
Delete CONVERT.EXE
Also... I have it as a 12:15a event on my BBS.. change this to your
event time.
Done!
