- ║▒▒▒▒▒ Introduction ▒▒▒▒▒║
- ╚════════════════════════╝
-
- Flame Thrower, a door sure to get your users fired up! Very simple
- to set up and use. What does it do? Plenty when it comes to getting
- users to participate. OK here's the dig, when a user logs on, that
- person sees a message informing them that another user has left a
- message "flaming" them for all to see. But actually it is a "one liner"
- left by the previous user and is automatically addressed to the next
- user that logs on. Most users are so outraged by the message that they
- are more than happy to "flame that person back". But in reality it will
- be sent (with that user's name as the sending party) to the NEXT user
- that logs on! .... What a hoot, try it!
- One note though, if you (the SysOp), have your board set to " Hide The
- Sysop's Activities", then you will never be shown as the sender of a
- FLAME. The blame will fall on the previous user. So you can say what you
- want and not catch the heat for it. This little tid bit is a great way to
- "Jump Start" the door, and get the users involved!

- ║▒▒▒▒▒ Setup ▒▒▒▒▒║
- ╚═════════════════╝
-
- Flame Thrower uses the EXITINFO.BBS and DORINFOX.DEF type door info
- drop files. And is compatible with, Remote Access, QuickBBS, Pro Board,
- and SuperBBS. If the BBS software your using doesn't create these two
- files there are several door conversion utilities availible that do.
-
- --------------------------[IMPORTANT]------------------------------
-
- I recommend that you set it up for automatic execution right before
- the user is presented your Main Menu. The easiest way to accomplish this
- is to set up a Type 7 or 15 exit in your TOP MENU and setting automatic
- to YES. The TOP MENU is the first menu that RA/QUICK loads up.
-
- Flame Thrower requires the path to the drop files be passed on the
- command line, i.e.
-
- FLAMET11 C:\RA
-
- Lets take a look at the SAMPLE.BAT file;
-
- @ECHO OFF
- cd\RA\FLAME
- FLAMET11 C:\RA
- cd\RA
-
- Simple huh?
