- 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,
