- GPAPER .EXE will take a normal text file and add the computer paper
- or greenbar effect to it. One thing to remember though, is to keep the
- lines of text to 65 columns or shorter. The program will truncate the
- text at 65 columns so you will lose part of the text if it is in a
- longer format.
-
- The syntax for the command line is real simple:
-
- GPAPER <textfile to convert> <converted filename> <COLOR>
-
- GPAPER.EXE will by default create a file named "GPAPER" in the
- current directory. The program also adds either an ".SCR" or a ".BBS"
- extension to the file depending on whether it is an ANSI or ASCii file.
- GPAPER will also support adding the path along with the desired
- filename. Be sure to place GPAPER.EXE in a directory that is in
- your path so that you may execute it from any directory. DO NOT add an
- extension to the <converted filename> on the command line as GPAPER will
- now add the correct extension. When converting files and using the
- 'WC3','SYN' or 'PCB' code, GPaper will only create one (1) file with a ".BBS"
- extension. Wildcat! 3.0 and PCBoard strip out the '@' codes and sends
- MONO screens to ASCii callers and COLOR to ANSI callers.
-
- COLOR can be BLACK, RED, GREEN, YELLOW, CYAN, MAGENTA, BLUE. The
- default is GREEN this parameter is not case sensitive. If you want
- green bars DO NOT enter GREEN on the command line.
-
- If you type GPAPER with no command line arguments, you will be
- presented a short help screen. Entering "GPAPER ABOUT" will present a
- screen with the author and support information.
-
- You can now set and environment variable that GPaper will read and
- add the correct file extensions to support your BBS. The correct format
- is : SET GPAPER=WC Do not put a space before or after the '='.
- Include this line in your autoexec.bat or in you maintenance bat file.
- After running GPaper you can recover the environment space by adding the
- line SET GPAPER= at the close of the bat file. The environment
- variable must be capitalized for GPaper to pick it up.
-
- @ECHO OFF
- SET GPAPER=WC
- GPAPER C:\WILDCAT\ACTIVITY.LOG C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULL99 RED
- SET GPAPER=
- CAT.BAT
-
- This will read your activity.log and create BULL99.SCR and
- BULL99.BBS with RED bars and place them in your bulletin directory.
