First off, you use this program at your own risk! Don't try to
hold me liable for it because I gave you fair warning! If something
happens, I'm sorry. I've tested it out and haven't had any problems
but that doesn't mean that something didn't get by me.
Now that I've gotten that out of the way...
Welcome to Switcher. Ever since TopEd came out, people have been
wondering if there was a way to switch between QuickED and TopEd (It
seems that some of the old timers couldn't get used to TopEd). Well,
I didn't really do anything about it until the other day and this is
my effort to help people. Switcher only supports TopEd and QuickEd.

Installing switcher is easy. First off, copy swr.exe into your
bbs directory. Pretty tough, huh?
Then, in your Config program, remove the name of your editor and
replace it with the switcher syntax. The syntax for swr has changed
so be sure to do it exactly as I say or it will puke on you.
The new syntax is: SWR.EXE <FLAG> <DIR ED> <DIR EX> *N
If you are running multinode, you should put the path to swr.exe
so that each node knows where to find it.
<FLAG> is the flag that you want to use for QuickEd.
<DIR ED> The path to TopEd and QuickEd (both must be in the same dir).
Use a trailing \ or not. It is added if it's not there.
<DIR EX> The path to the Exitinfo.bbs for each node. Use a trailing \
or not. It is added if it's not there.
*N If your bbs supports *N when calling the editor, use *N. If it
doesn't, put the node number there (must be done for each node).
Example:
SWR.EXE D7 c:\quickbbs\ c:\quickbbs\ *N
or
SWR.EXE D7 c:\quickbbs\ c:\quickbbs\ 1
or if you are running multinode...
c:\quickbbs\swr.exe A5 c:\quickbbs\ *N
c:\quickbbs\swr.exe A5 c:\node2\ *N
or
c:\quickbbs\swr.exe A5 c:\quickbbs\ c:\quickbbs\ 1
c:\quickbbs\swr.exe A5 c:\quickbbs\ c:\node2\ 2
Note to QuickBBS 2.75 users - QuickEd 1.20 tends to lock up when
you put your cursor over a long line. Use QuickEd 1.10 and avoid the
problem. DON'T USE QUICKED 1.20! You have been warned.
Switcher is for QuickBBS 2.75 and RA 1.01+ (and maybe SBBS).
Switcher was written in TP 6.0, using EXECSWAP. I used Pklite on
the program to make it smaller. If you find a conflict, decompress
it and try again.
If you feel the urge to register this program, send at least $3
to the Oklahoma Special Olympics. I don't want anything and I would
rather see them get any money. In other words, this program is FREE
and you may use it until Hell freezes over or the structures change
and break it. Let me know if you find any bugs and I'll release a
fix. I don't anticipate adding anything else to the thing so unless
there are bugs, this is it. Ok, here it is. Have at it!
