For Use with WWIV Version 4.23 ONLY
Welcome to "Coolquotes" by Matt Lampiasi.
(Copyright (C) 1994 Matt Lampiasi)
This is Version 1b - Updated!
Coolquotes was designed to increase the visual appeal of quoted
text when using Adam Caldwell's WWIVEdit with WWIV BBS Software.
Coolquotes should work with most versions of WWIVEdit. I have
only tested with the latest as of this writing (1-17-94). I have
tested with WWIV Version 4.23 only, but I would presume it would
work with a few other versions.
(WWIVEdit is Copyright Adam Caldwell).
(WWIV is copyright Wayne Bell).
Installing:
Erase your WWIVEdit command lines in INIT and replace them with
with the supplied batch files.
For the remote WWIVEdit have init call the supplied
batch file "WWIVEDR.Bat". For the local WWIVEdit command line
have INIT call the supplied batch file called "WWIVEDL.Bat".
Copy the file "COOLQUOT.EXE" to you wwivedit directory (ie: the
directory that contains "WWIVEdit.Exe".
If your wwivedit files are NOT in \wwiv\wwivedit the program will NOT
work for you. If they are, It should now work.
New Stuff:
***IMPORTANT***
The batch file command lines must have the SAME parameters as your
previous command lines for wwivedit.exe !
I (thoughtlessly!) FORGOT to mention this in earlier versions.
*************
Example: for your remote WWIVEdit Command lines in INIT should be
replaced with:
C:\WWIV\WWIVEDIT\WWIVEDR.BAT %1 %2 %3 %4
(JUST like WWIVEdit's command lines)
NOT just the name of the batch file without the %'s!
Doing this (using the correct directories of course) and using the
supplied batch files (also checking the directories are correct there too)
should set you right up. Don't change ANYTHING in the batch files
except the directories if necessary.
*************
Fixed up a few minor things..
Made it compatible with my upcomming MsgColor for WWIV.
(See enclosed description file).
End of New Stuff.
Boring Technical Stuff:
The program will not work if you do not have a default setup
of WWIV BBS software. Meaning: Your temp directory for wwiv
should be \WWIV\Temp. Node 2's temp should be \WWIV\Temp2. If you
don't HAVE a node 2 no problem.. but the program will support
both nodes individually if the above conditions are true.
Registration benifits:
1) You'll be supporting a poor college student who's
struggling to get by and become a better programmer and
bring you better products.
2) THAT will feel good.
3) If you have your bbs and/or temp directories differently,
you are entitled to a Modified version along with Your
registration.
4) Colors of your choice. You can stay within the WWIV color
range of 0-9, or can opt for ANSI colors.
5) You are entitled to a new version IF there IS one.
6) You'll be supporting the Shareware market in General, and
specifically Writer's of WWIV support software.
7) Possibly any addition (within reason) you can think of for
the program's enhancement.
8) Support for more than 2 nodes if Necessary.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
|9) MOST IMPORTANT PERHAPS: I will continue to release Shareware |
| that DOESN'T HAVE ANY NAGWARE MESSAGES! |
| This program is not crippled in ANY WAY.. |
| They WILL be in the future if people continue to use it |
| unregistered! |
---------------------------------------------------------------------
10) See #1 again :)
REGISTRATION IS ONLY $5.00 (US FUNDS)!
Well everyone, that's about it this time..
Not that I'm religious, but god bless!
