Copyright And Registration Notice
─────────────────────────────────
Anvil─Chat is a copyrighted program being distributed under the
shareware concept. The only 'difference' between Anvil-Chat
and shareware is: Registration is still required, but the trial
period for the door is virtually indefinate. You may test the program
online for as long as you like, and register it when you are sure
you want it to remain online, or when you can afford to register.
As a shareware program, Anvil-Chat may be freely distributed through a
BBS. Shareware distributors may distribute copies of Anvil─Chat on disk
for a modest disk duplication charge not to exceed $5 per disk. CD-ROM
publishers may also distribute Anvil-Chat, with the written consent of
the author, Steve Burns.
Warranty
────────
Anvil─Chat is distributed without warranty. In no event will Steve
Burns, Anvil-Chat, or The Anvil BBS [ASV] be liable for any damages,
including any loss of profits, lost savings, or other incidental or
consequential damages arising out of your use of or inability to use the
program, even if Steve Burns, or an authorized representative has been
advised of the possibility of such damages. Steve Burns and Anvil─Chat
will not be liable for any such claim by and other party. If you do find
something that is a minor, or major bug that you feel needs to be fixed,
please, let me know about it. I will fix it as soon as I can, and I WILL
put out a new fixed version for it.
Requirements
────────────
The requirements for Anvil-Chat aren't that much, all that you need is:
■ PC Speaker
■ Some Free Memory To Run From
■ Color Monitor Is Not Needed, Cause It Will Show Colors To Remote
Users That Have Colors, And B/W To Non-Color Users
■ Good Ears To Hear The Songs Paging You
Note, The ANVLCHAT.EXE is only 60k big, by inventing a new compiling
process, a coleague of mine has reduced it down to 29k, along with
PKLITE, it is now 16k big. Note that that is smaller than the source
code by a great deal. The source is well over 20k. We Hope that you
appriciate this done by us, we have reduced the .EXE file by way over
40k, therefore reducing the amount of memory it takes when ran from
inside the BBS, so that is can run much easier on slower computers,
baud modems, and just better in the long run.
Running Anvil-Chat
──────────────────
Anvil─Chat is run by entering a command similar to the following:
ANVLCHAT.EXE
You can also put Anvil-Chat Into Your WWIV BBS via A WWIV Mod.
I Have Created a WWIV Source Mod That Goes with Anvil-Chat, it will
Allow you to run Anvil-Chat as a pager, it replaces your 'C' command
of paging, and brings up the program, and allows you to choose from
several different songs to page the sysop with. It the ANVLCHAT.EXE
file is NOT found in your Main WWIV Directory, then it will simply
run the Stock WWIV Chat. Note that the source Mod is NOT a requirement
to run Anvil-Chat, but is recommended if you use WWIV. Also, if you use
WWIV, the Mod doesn't replace the chat mode, just the paging part.
(WWIV is Copyright 1988─1995 By Wayne Bell and WWIV Software Services)
Anvil-Chat Requires An ANVLCHAT.CFG File. It Must Be As Follows:
First Line :*Sysop Handle
Second Line : BBS Name
Third Line : Sysop Real Name
Fourth Line : Address
Fifth Line : City
Sixth Line : State
Seventh Line : Zip-Code
* Note - The Sysop Handle MUST be 21 characters, or LESS. If not, if will
mess it up. (Am Still Working On it.)
If Anvil-Chat DOESN'T Find An ANVLCHAT.CFG File, It Will NOT Run, Period!
