==========================
1. FISHTEXT.EXE
==========================
FISHTEXT will create ASCII and ANSI bulletins of Freshwater Fishing
Simulator (FFS) door program. FISHTEXT can be run any time, but it is
best to place it after FISHING in the batch file you use to run FFS.
example .BAT file
@ECHO Off
CD \BBS\DOORS\FISHING
FISHING 2 C:\BBS
FISHTEXT C:\BBS\TEXT\FISHTEXT.ASC C:\BBS\TEXT\FISHTEXT.ANS
CD \BBS
This way the bulletins are kept current.
The bulletins will contian the Top 10 money leaders, the current tour
standings, previous tour results (up to 16 back), and the top 3 best weights
for each fish.
==========================
2. FISHTEXT command-line
==========================
The command-line syntax for FISHTEXT :
FISHTEXT [ASCII filespec] [ANSI filespec]
Where ASCII filespec is the filename of the ASCII text bulletin. You can
also enter a path as part of the ASCII filespec.
ANSI filespec is the filename of the ANSI text bulletin. You can
also enter a path as part of the ANSI filespec.
If you do and the optional filespecs you must include both filespecs.
If no filespecs are given FISHTEXT will write two files called
FISHTEXT.ASC (ASCII) and FISHTEXT.ANS (ANSI) in the Current Directory.
===========================
3. Example using FISHTEXT
===========================
FISHTEXT C:\BBS\TXTFILES\HIGHFISH.ASC C:\BBS\TXTFILES\HIGHFISH.ANS
This will create a ASCII text bulletin, named HIGHFISH.ASC, in the directory
C:\BBS\TEXTFILES, and a ANSI text bulletin, named HIGHFISH.ANS in the
directory C:\BBS\TEXTFILES.
FISHTEXT
This will create a ASCII text bulletin, named FISHTEXT.ASC, in the
current directory, and a ANSI text bulletin, named FISHTEXT.ANS in the
current directory.
=================
4. FISHTEXT.INI
=================
The FISHTEXT.INI file can be used to add BBS codes into the FISHTEXT created
bulletins. The following is the FISHTEXT.INI file will nothing defined.
[BBSCodes]
StartString=
PauseString=
The file must contine the section [BBSCodes] and either of the two settings
StartString and/or PauseString.
The string StartString is set to will be added to the begining of both
text files. Use this setting to add the BBS code(s) to disable the BBS from
pausing text files itself, and set the PauseString to the BBS code(s) that
will pause the ouptut of text.
PauseString is added ever 23rd line. This way pauseing can be controlled to
the way the to bulletins are formated.
