- Section One: Description and Instructions
-
-
- T-FIG is designed to give you fuller, easier control over the
- content, arrangement, and configuration of your Telix
- communication program. It acts in a way that allows you to
- compare configuration changes you make. Quite often, reasons for
- things having to be a certain way are explained.
-
- T-FIG is very easy for anyone to use. It doesn't require that
- you remember commands...all actions are automatic. Everything is
- explained fully on-screen. It picks any changes you make in
- TELIX's configuration up immediately after you make them. You
- can run T-FIG from within TELIX, make a Configyraton Menu change
- in TELIX, and go back to T-FIG and immediately see the change.
-
- The full set of files found in the shareware package are:
-
- T-FIG.DOC, T-FIG.REG, and README.1ST: These files are descrip-
- tive of the program, how to use it, and how to register.
-
- TF.SLC: This is the main program that makes everything else
- work.
-
- TFI.SCN: This is the program's index file. It indexes screens
- from both the Configuration Menu and the TIPS Menu. Any entry
- preceeded by @ is from screens available through T-FIG's Configu-
- ration Menu. This isn't included in the shareware version.
-
- TFC.MNU: Called by TF.SLC, this file gives you access to screens
- that will display your current configuration settings in TELIX.
-
- TFCF.SCN, TFCG.SCN, TFCM.SCN, TFCT.SCN: These are the individual
- screens of TELIX configuration information.
-
- TFT.MNU: Called by TF.SLC, this file gives you access to the
- tutorial screens describing TELIX's configurable parameters and
- what they mean.
-
- TFTA.SCN, TFTC.SCN, TFTF.SCN, TFTG.SCN, TFTK.SCN, TFTM.SCN,
- TFTP.SCN, TFTS.SCN, TFTT.SCN, and TFTW.SCN: These are the indi-
- vidual screens of tutorial information that's presented in the
- TELIX manual. Each screen describes a section of TELIX's Config-
- uration Menu.
-
- To use T-FIG, All you have to do is this:
-
- 1. Copy the files to TELIX's script directory so it can find
- them. If you are a very new beginner, that simply means
- that you have the option with TELIX of deciding that there
- can be a script directory separate from the one TELIX's
- program files are located in.
-
- In the beginning, just copy the T-FIG files to the directory
- that you have all of TELIX's program files in. I use
- C:\BBS. Original, huh?
-
- 2. Start TELIX. Press ALT-O, then F. Press C. Type the name
- of the directory you want to use...don't forget to use full
- path names. I would type, C:\BBS\.
-
- 3. Press Return (Enter) twice and then press "W". That will
- write the name to a disk file named TELIX.CNF that TELIX
- will read when it's run. It'll know where to look for T-
- FIG's files.
-
- 4. Pressing ALT-K will take you to TELIX's macro file area.
- Here, you can assign text to a specific key. One of TELIX's
- features is that any text preceded with an @ is assumed to
- be the name of a script file. When a key with that macro is
- pressed, the script file is automatically called up and run.
- Assigning TF.SLC to a macro key will keep it handy and
- easily run.
-
- 5. I have TF.SLC assigned to key "F4". To assign TF.SLC to a
- macro key:
-
- A. While TELIX is running, press ALT-K.
-
- B. Press Enter.
-
- C. Press "E" for Edit.
-
- D. Press the key you want to assign. I use F4.
-
- E. Type "@TF.SLC".
-
- F. Press Enter.
-
- G. Press the Spacebar.
-
- H. Press "S" for Save.
-
- I. Press Enter.
-
- J. Press "X" for Exit.
-
-
- That's all there is to it. Now, anytime I want to run T-FIG from
- within TELIX, I simply press F4.
-
- I hope you enjoy using T-FIG and that it enhances your enjoyment
- of TELIX. Again, be sure to put all T-FIG files in the same
- directory.

- Section Two: Disclaimer
-
-
- Eugene A. Zeak, Jr. makes no warranty of any kind, either express
- or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of
- merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, with
- respect to this software and accompanying documentation.
-
- In no event shall Eugene A. Zeak, Jr. be liable for any damages;
- including damages for loss of business profits, business
- interruption, loss of business information, or other monetary
- loss arising out of the use of or inability to use this program.

- Section Three: Registration Information
-
-
- T-FIG is not now, nor has ever been, public domain or free soft-
- ware. T-FIG is distributed under the User Supported software
- concept. Nonregistered users are granted a limited license to
- use T-FIG for a trial period in order to determine if it suits
- their needs.
-
- Any other use of T-FIG or use past this period requires
- registration. Any use of non-registered copies of T-FIG by a
- business, organization, or any kind of institution is expressly
- prohibited.
-
- T-FIG must be freely distributed in an unmodified form with all
- files intact, including both the program and this documentation.
-
- T-FIG may not be included with any other product (bundled) for
- any reason whatsoever without a license or written permission.
-
- No charge or payment may be levied or accepted for T-FIG except
- by Eugene A. Zeak, Jr., his agents, or assignees.
-
- T-FIG is distributed as shareware. The advantage of this is that
- you get to try it out the program to see whether or not it suits
- your needs. If you find it useful and keep using it, you must
- register the program. Registration has a few good things going
- for it. While you won't receive any fancy leatherbound documen-
- tation, you'll know that you treated another human being fairly,
- you will receive the latest version of T-FIG on disk with your
- name and registration number on the first screen, and...perhaps
- most importantly of all...without those pesky shareware messages.
-
- Without registrations, there won't be any future versions of T-
- FIG. Like you, we have to pay our bills. Any well thought out
- and written program takes a lot of time. Unless there's a reason
- to spend the time on a project, it simply won't be spent.
-
- Individual registration is $15.00 That includes shipping, hand-
- ling and cost of a floppy disk (5 1/4", MS-DOS DS/DD, with the
- latest version of T-FIG on it, including the index.
-
- T-FIG may not be used in a business or commercial environment
- without proper registration. Business registration of individual
- copies are at the same as above. One registered copy can be used
- on only one computer station. To find the number of copies you
- may have to purchase, multiply the single price cost ($15.00)
- times the number of computer stations T-FIG will be used on.
- Then (if applicable), use the discount table on the registration
- form to find the discount.
-
- Thank you for registering...
