- -= What is Psych0Liner?
- Psych0Liner is a oneliner program, and it's free. It's like a graffiti
- board where users write whatever, but it's only one line per entry.
-
- -= Disclaimer / Legal stuff
- I've done my best to make Psych0Liner bug-free and safe to use which
- doesn't mean it couldn't cause a problem. If you agree to use this program
- you agree that I am not liable for damages that may result in
- Psych0Liner's use.

- -= MCI Color Pipe Codes
- Psych0Liner uses the same simple color code system as many other BBS
- programs. A pipe | is followed after two numbers, two numbers are always
- required. 00 through 15 affect the foreground. 00 is black and 15 is white.
- 16 through 23 affect the background. 16 is black and 23 is white.
-
- examples:
- |21|05Dark Purple on Light Purple
- |00INVISABLE!?!?|15YES! |05W|13OW!
-
- Psych0Liner's other MCI code system, which is designed mainly for the
- user's use, uses `x. x is a character from 1 to 9, 0 or ! through %. 1 being
- dark blue and % being white. This method can't change the background color.
-
- examples:
- `5Dark Purple
- `%YES! `5W`#OW!
-
- -= Psych0Liner's Unique Extended MCI
- These only affect the foreground, and are used mostly internally by
- Psych0Liner, the purpose is to easily change your color scheme. You can change
- what they represent in the colors section of the configuration.
-
- 50 UpperCase 51 LowerCase 52 Numbers 53 Punctuation 54 Hibit
- 55 Oneliners 56 Errors 57 Menu HotKeys 58 Menu Text
- 59 Menu Brackets 60 Light Lines 61 Medium Lines 62 Dark
-

-
- TR total runs
- TW total oneliners written
-

-
- -= Psych0Tag
- Psych0Liner has support for my tagline program, Psych0Tag. Psych0Liner
- calls Psych0Tag to put a tagline to a file then reads it and adds it to the
- oneliners. Psych0Liner interally passes a command line to Psych0Tag.
-
- To turn on support for Psych0Tag put Psych0Tag's full path and filename
- in the main configuration. A tagline can be imported from the miscellaneous
- section of the config or by runing "PLINER /T".
-
- See the PSYCH0.LST file on how to get a copy of Psych0Tag.

- fuzzy feeling deep down in your heart for now. =)

- -= Bugs
- I've spent many long hours trying to make programs that everyone can use
- and enjoy. I do my very best to make it bug-free and work with many diffrent
- setups. If you find a bug, please tell me. I can't fix it if I don't know
- enough about it.
-
- Please make all bug reports as thorough as you can. Detail when the
- problem occurs, what it does and doesn't do, and what it says when it
- happens. All this information can make it a LOT easier to locate and fix the
- bug. Also, please give a detailed description of your setup as possible.
- Things like CPU, modem, BBS software, dropfile type, operating system name,
- version etc really help!
