- WHAT IS IT?
- -=-=-=-=-=-=-
-
- This was designed for the Sysop in mind but can be used for anything!
- Ok Sysop, do you have a few display screens that are to be put in the SAME
- SPOT? Like a few different main menu screens and a couple logoff screens,
- but you want your users to see them all? This utility will "rotate" your
- files around so that the user sees a different screen each time he is
- logged on! And it will do this automatically!

- SETUP
- -=-=-=-=-
-
-
- Put SPiN-iT in a separate directory of your choosing and edit the
- config file SPIN-IT.CFG. It looks like this:
-
- LINE 1: 0 <-Registration Code
- LINE 2: C:\TRIBBS\DISPLAY\LOGON2.ANS <-Lines 2-11: files to rotate. Lines
- LINE 3: C:\TRIBBS\DISPLAY\LOGON2.AN2 4-11 are optional, as you may have
- LINE 4: C:\TRIBBS\DISPLAY\LOGON2.AN3 it rotate only 2 files if you wish.
- LINE 5: You MUST have Lines 2 & 3, as it
- LINE 6: takes at least 2 files to "rotate".
- LINE 7:
- LINE 8: Make sure to put the full pathname
- LINE 9: for each of the files.
- LINE 10:
- LINE 11:
-
- The program is run with this syntax: SPIN-IT.EXE <CONFIG FILE>
-
- ex: SPIN-IT.EXE SPIN-IT.CFG
-
- If no config file is specified, it will default to SPIN-IT.CFG.
- You have have as many config files as you like. Each config file
- specifies the set of files to rotate, so essentially you can have
- an unlimited number of sets.
-
- If you're a sysop, a good place to have your BBS run this program
- is right after a caller logs off. For TriBBS systems, that would
- be in the BETWEEN.BAT file. Consult your BBS software's documentation.

- ERROR MESSAGES

- for the program to do anything.
-
- "NO CONFIG FILE!!": No .CFG file found in the current directory.
