DESCRIPTION
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
EchoInfo is a Bulletin maker, It will read the Dbridge 1.30 database
and create a list of all the mail that came into the system over the
period you set in Dbridge.
FEATURES
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
■ Generation of both ANSI or ASCII bulletins to any filename/directory.
For those who register there will be these added features:
■ All `please register' notices/screens will be removed.
■ Free REGISTERED updates as they become available.
LIABILITY
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The author of this software (Mark Gendell) assumes no liability
whatsoever for any damage or loss of data done to any person or computer
system which results from the use of Echoinfo software.
[Not that anything is likely to happen!]
RESTRICTIONS/REGISTRATION
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Feel free to pass this software on to others (via upload or whatever),
but be sure there are no modifications of any kind, and that all the
files listed in the file Echoinfo.doc are included.
This software is NOT public domain. It is shareware. This means that you
can use it for a limited amount of time before you either decide to
register it, or discontinue use. In this case you can evaluate this pro-
duct for 30 days. At that time you should support the shareware concept
by filling out the form in Echoinfo.reg and sending in a paltry $7.
Registration entitles you to ALL the benefits listed above.
Registration also gives me an incentive to create new interesting and
useful programs for YOU! On behalf of all shareware authors, please sup-
port shareware!
Lots of registrations will keep Echoinfo going, and you may see these
additions:
■ Better ANSI/color support
■ Better Configurations
■ More Programs like Echoinfo using DBRIDGE and Superbbs Databases
CONFIGURATION
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
I have designed this program to be as simple and easy to set up as poss-
ible, because I know that many sysops hate to waste time writing batch
files and testing new programs. If you follow the steps below, the pro-
grams should run without a hitch.
Simply Create a TEXT file using your ASCII editor using this format
(ECHOINFO.CFG)
SYSOP NAME
NAME OF BBS
Path to Dbridge directory with Trailing \
Path and File name for ANSI File
Path and File name for ASCII File
Registration Code
RUNNING THE PROGRAM
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
■ To run the Echoinfo:
Place the command Echoinfo right before your bbs loads up, it is
important for you to make sure the echoinfo line is right before
the BBS command because sometimes echoinfo will change the current
errorlevel. (To Be fixed in a future release). Also make sure
the ECHOINFO.CFG file is in the current directory. Here is a sample
GO.bat
