- The BBS NETWORK Advertisement Generator
- By: Vangard Damäge
- Written as a Christmas Present
- to the Fine Folx at WishNet
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Ok, first off, I want to say "MERRY CHRISTMAS" to all the people that this was
- written for, and that I hope you enjoy this present.
-
- Now, on with the installation:
-
- First, put this program anywhere you want it. It will ask you for the paths to
- the information it needs, which is very little. I had originally intended for
- this program to access the nodelist file to create it's information. However,
- time was short, so I made the file myself. Therefore, the FIDO Nodelist is NOT
- needed.
-
- Second, if you are not a member of WishNet or do not wish to advertise for
- WishNet boards, delete the DSADS.DAT file. If you DO wish to advertise WishNet
- then leave it alone for now. Now, from the DOS prompt, type ADGEN SETUP.
- Select <C>, and enter your BBS information. The entry which asks for the
- filename, with path, is asking for the filename you wish to make to display to
- your users. For example, I use C:\TG\AFILES\LOGON2.MSG. That creates a file
- that is automatically displayed to my users after LOGON.MSG and LOGON1.MSG.
- You could also make this a bulletin file, for example.
-
- If you wish to add a new BBS to the database, select <A> from the main setup
- menu, or type ADGEN ADD from the DOS prompt.
-
- Last, create (or add to) your LOGOFF.BAT file to include the lines:
-
- CD <adgen directory>
- ADGEN
- CD <main BBS directory>
-
- Being a slob, I keep mine in the main BBS directory, and that works fine. It
- works from any other directory, though.
-
- I appreciate you using this. I don't require registration, but I do ask that
- you give me feedback on programs that I write, and make suggestions. Thank
- you.
-
- I can be reached at The Assassin's Guild BBS (812-886-4363) for tips,
- questions, hints, suggestions, and fan mail (please, no hate mail)...
-
- Again, Thanks to WishNet for all they have done for me.
- Sincerely,
-
- Jason Cline
