Welcome/Goodbye Screen Rotator
(C) Copyright 1992, Primex Software All rights Reserved
About:
WGSR (Rotate.Exe) is a program that will take multiple Welcome and multiple
Goodbye screens, shift them, and save them in the file name defined by the
SysOp. For instance, if you have 4 welcome screens and 6 goodbye screens,
each one will be shifted.
Usage:
WGSR (Rotate.Exe) is command line driven without scarificing a good user
interface. If you have tried to run it, you will notice that it cannot
find a config file. Unlike some doors and some programs, you do not have
to create a config file yourself. But before you run it, you need to do
several things. First, put Rotate.Exe in it's own directory. Although this
is not required, it keeps organization in your BBS. Next, you need to name
your welcome screens "WELCOME.1, WELCOME.2," and so on for the number of
screens you wish to have. Goodbye screens are the same, named "GOODBYE.1,
GOODBYE.2," and so on. Now run Rotate.Exe with the "NC" option. This will
automatically read in all of the welcome and goodbye screens. If you wish
to have just one goodbye or one welcome screen, name it WELCOME.1 with no
other WELCOME's in the directory. YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST ONE OF BOTH!! It
will then ask for the path and prompt of both screens. Enter the complete
path. It will then create a Config file and save it. The registered
version will allow ascending, descending, and random orders to it and the
beg screens will be removed. For more command line options, type "QUICK"
as a command line and you will have a list of all of the commands.
Other:
Instead of having it rename goodbye and welcome screens, you can have it
rename a Prelog In or a Main Menu. To do this, give it another directory of
it's own and replace Prelog In with Welcome and Main Menu with Goodbye in
the text above. Also, if your system runs a batch file when a caller logs
off, you can have the screens rotate each log off. Or set it up as a daily
event with a log on screen for every day of the week. If Tuesday is the day
that you're setting up an important voting question, you can tell users in
screen number 3 (Tuesday if Sunday is #1) that the voting question is here.
