AMEC v1.01
Auto-Message Enhancement Colorizor
Copyright (c) 1995 Jonathan Intemann
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│░░░ Description / Running ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
AMEC is a simple shareware program that enhances the appearence of your
Auto-Message on WWIV BBS's. It will put together a pretty looking border
and colorize the message. (All Colors are toggleable!) This program is for
the people in WWIV BBS's that are registered and don't have the apropriate
source code to modify to make the automessage enhanced yourself. This program
doesn't modify it instantly, you must run the program after making a new
automessage and the program will scan it and then modify it.
One of the newer things is that sometimes sysop's don't like writing the
automessage at the automessage prompts. Some simply like editing the auto.msg
file so that it can be as long as he/she wants it. Well, as long as you stay
below 67 characters a line AMEC will put an extra long border around the
automessage. (Don't worry, if it is a regular size one AMEC will put the
regular sized border around it.)

│░░░ Registration Info ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
AMEC isn't free. After a 30 trial period you must register it. It doesn't
cost a whole lot of cash to register either, a simple little 5 dollars.
Why destroy the shareware concept? Send in that measly 5 bucks!
The form to send in is called AMEC_REG.FRM, just fill it out and send
it to the address at the bottom of the form.
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│░░░ Disclaimer / Warrenty ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
There is no warrenty for this program. It is shareware and that's all.
The registration code *IS* however, under a warrenty. If you ever get the
registration code deleted from your configuration file and you can't find a
hard copy, then just E-Mail me at one of the E-Mail address's at the bottom
of the form or Snail Mail at: Jonathan Intemann
1939 Merner Ave
Cedar Falls, IA 50613
If you supply your Name and Address (at date of registration) I will mail you
back your registration code. There is absolutly no charge for replacement of
the registration code.
As for the responsibility of this program, I claim no responsibility
for this program. If it blows up your hard drive our corrupts your data files
tough snook'ums. This program works fine on my computer and there is no real
reason why it shouldn't work on yours.

│░░░ Setup / Installation ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
The Following files in this archive should be:
AMEC.EXE - The Main program
AMEC.CFG - The Configuration file
AMEC.DOC - This file silly...:)
AMEC_REG.FRM - The registration form
BBL152.EXE - The EXE Library (Very Important!)
SAMPLE.MSG - A Sample of a modified AutoMessage
FILE_ID.DIZ - The File description
If any of these files are missing, then the archive has been tampered with!
installation is extremely easy for AMEC.
All you do is edit your AMEC.CFG file to your likings.
Here is the setup:
Line 1: File to AUTO.MSG (your G-Files dir) You must include a backslash
at the end of the path. The path is most likely (C:\WWIV\GFILES\)
Line 2, 3, & 4 deal with the colors. all of them are "WWIV Heart Codes"
1 is Light Cyan, 2 is Yellow, 3 is purple, etc...
Here is the setup: The Border Is Line #3
/The Name is line #2 /
╒═╡ Spam Burger #1 ╞═══════════════════════╕
│ This is just a sample automessage that I │
│ Have made for demonstrating the colors │
│ for the AMEC.CFG file you must edit. │
╘════════ \ ══════════════════════════════╛
\
The Message itself is Line #4
So the AMEC.CFG file would go
**G-Files dir**
1 - Name Color (Spam Burger #1)
7 - Border color
9 - Message color
Now, don't use this. It is just an example.
the 5th line is the registration code.
If you are unregistered then simply put all 0's
Then, whenever you run AMEC you will colorize it and make a border.
Now, if you colorize it before you run AMEC, the colors won't change.
BUT! If you put a border around it and then run AMEC, it will look very
screwed up! So always make sure that you don't already have the AM enhanced.
