QuoteMagic for BBS Programs
README.TXT
Copyright (c) 1996 Timothy R. White
All Rights Reserved
QuoteMagic is a program that will write a new quote either daily or
each time it is run to two files: QUOTE.ANS and QUOTE.TXT. QUOTE.ANS is
a full-color ANSI compatible text file (with line draw characters).
QUOTE.TXT is a simple, no-color low-ASCII text file. You can easily copy
these files to a welcome message or other area on your BBS. Information
for setting the quote up as a welcome file for RBBS are included. The
actual quote list file is stored in a simple ASCII format which can be
edited with any standard text editor.
Please be sure to review the QM-BBS.TXT file, which serves as the
program's main manual. Also, if you are interested in a version history
of QuoteMagic, review the REVISION.HST file.
NOTE: You should also review the QM-QUOTE.LST file, which contains the
list of quotes used by QuoteMagic. The default quotes included
with QuoteMagic may contain some quotes which you find offensive.
These should be removed with a text editor at your discretion.
MOST OF THE QUOTES CONTAINED IN THE QM-QUOTE.LST FILE ARE COPYRIGHTED BY
THEIR RESPECTIVE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS (AS INDICATED AFTER THE QUOTE) AND ARE
USED WITHOUT PERMISSION. USE THE DEFAULT QM-QUOTE.LST FILE AT YOUR OWN
RISK.
