Thank you for evaluating this program!
"SysOpMaker" will allow you to have an on going list of BBS's in your area.
This program is completely AUTOmatic... you don't need to do ANYTHING
once it has been set-up. SysOp's will fill-out the Questionnaire that
comes with this program. Then you just place "SYSOPMKR.BAT" in the
WC30 (Wildcat) home directory and run it as an EVENT.

SET-UP
------ For updating - Re-copy ALL the files into the QUES directory.
1. Copy the SYSOPMKR.BAT file to the Wildcat home directory.
2. Copy the rest of the files to the "QUES"tionnaire directory.
3. EDIT the SYSOPMKR.CFG to add your BBS name to the program & ENTER the
complete name of the questionnaire # to the SYSOPMKR.CFG file.
Select any questionnaire # you like.
An optional Line #3 is added to create a text file ONLY (no CatCodes).
NEW NEW NEW NEW - Run "SETUP.EXE" to fill out the configuration file!
Make sure it is in the C:\WC30\QUES directory
before you run it though! Or whatever directory
you have for the QUES directory.
EXAMPLE;
Line 1 : Downloads R US (enter YOUR BBS name)
Line 2 : QUES00##.001 (whatever # you want)
Line 3 : t (lower case) -- (OPTIONAL, for text printout-DL-able list)
(create EVENT to ZIP for download)

Line 4 : Colors
" " * See SYSOPMKR.CFG to see how to change
" " the colors to the ones you like.
Line 9 : Colors
------------------------- BBS Ads -----------------------------------
Line 10: n (lower case) -- "n" for NO Ads, ELSE enter # of Ads.
If you want to have 5 Ads displayed
in a row, then just enter "5" instead
of "n". You can display up to 99999 Ads.
Every Ad has to have The Ad naming format = "AD#nnnnn.BBS"
it's OWN #. Ex: "AD#1.BBS" "AD#2.BBS" "AD#3.BBS"
And so on.. up to "AD#99999.BBS"

10, and display your

*******
So.. Line 10 is "n" for NO ADS or "#" for the number of Ads you want.

---------------------------**** NEW ****-----------------------------
Line 11: Flag NAME #1 Ex: Offline Reader These names can total
Line 12: Flag NAME #2 Ex: Games up to 34 characters
Line 13: Flag NAME #3 Ex: Files in length.
Line 14: Flag NAME #4 Ex: Adult
Including spaces.
Example:
Offline Reader = 14 - (characters)
Games = 5 - (characters)
Files = 5 - (characters)
Adults = 6 - (characters)
------------------------------
Total = 30 - (total characters)
They MUST be YES or NO questions! See FLAG questions in questionnaire.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Line 15: How many NODES you have (default = 1). - Multi-Node systems
* See SYSOPMKR.CFG or run SETUP.EXE
----------------------------------------------------------------------
An example SYSOPMKR.CFG is included (but with my BBS name) - Change this
to YOUR BBS name.
4. EDIT the SYSOPMKR.BAT to reflect your BULLETIN's # & directories.
It is set up for the WC30 & QUES & BULL directories that come as default.
5. Qusetionnaire ---- QUES0003.DAT file. NO NOT DELETE line 17
NEW FEATURE! Now add as many new questions as you like after the last
FLAG question has been answered.
I have added a few blank lines to show you. EDIT the questionnaire
using "MAKEQUES". Delete any line you don't want after the FLAG
questions. Reset the LAST line # on the question (Are you a SysOp
or Co-SysOp?) to reflect the last line # in the questionnaire.
You can pretty much ask ANY number of questions now for your own
personal use. But the first 4 CANNOT be changed, the second 4 (flag
names) can be changed to anything you like up to a total of 34
characters. SEE SYSOPMKR.CFG for more info on the FLAG names.
You canNOT change the QUES0003.DAT file, or it will NOT work correctly!
BUT you can re-name it to the ques # of your choice.
You can correct any spelling, the time for the EVENT or the colors.
You can't change the order of the questions. SEE ABOVE - NEW FEATURE
6. To run this program create a (batch) EVENT to run SYSOPMKR.BAT
For the PATH enter; C:\WC30\SYSOPMKR.BAT
And the SYSOPMKR.BAT file should be placed in the WC30 home directory
prior to running this EVENT.
The batch file will create a file called SYSOPMKR.LST, this is the file
that will be renamed to ANY BULLxxx.BBS that you like, and copied to the
C:\WC30\BULL directory for the users to view.
REMEMBER! Place ALL files that come with this program (EXCEPT the
SYSOPMKR.BAT which goes in the WC30 home directory) into the WC30\QUES
(DEFAULT) directory. (or whatever name you gave the questionnaire
directory).
******************
DO NOT delete QUES0003.001 or you WILL lose your list!!!!!
To edit the list, use ANY text editor to delete or change the
QUES0003.001 file. (or whichever QUES # you select to use).
DO NOT ERASE LINE 17 or the dotted line!
