│ INTRODUCTION │
└────────────────────────────┘
WS-QUOTE is a simple quote or joke generator for the TriBBS bulletin
board system. However, it can be used on other BBS types that use the
@-color codes. It quickly and easily generates a LOGON, GOODBYE or a
BULLETIN screen using @X-color codes.
The @X-codes are interepreted by TriBBS and will display things such
as color or pauses or clearing the screen. This is the neat part
about it:
If the caller has ANSI, TriBBS will send color (the @X-codes)...if not,
TriBBS will filter out the @X-codes and the caller see's just an ASCII
screen.
WS-QUOTE has been tested on TriBBS v5.11 and v10.0.

1. Make a directory with any name you choose and place the WS-QUOTE
files there.
2. The second thing you have to do, is make a configurtion file.
A sample configuration file named WSQUOTE.CFG is included in this
archive. This file can be any name and must reside in the same
directory as WSQUOTE.EXE. Create or edit the configuration file
to reflect your configurations.
The following is a sample config:
SUNSET BBS
Werner Sidler
C:\TRIBBS\DISPLAY
LOGON6.BBS
A
Quote of the day
WSQUOTE.DAT
@CLS@
@X4E SUNSET BBS home BBS of WS-QUOTE and WS-NEWS +41-(0)41-342 04 45 @X40
@X0F@PAUSE@

3. Editing the WSQUOTE data file.
The WSQUOTE Data File can be viewed and edited with any ASCII editor.
Each quote or joke should be one line long, and no more than 78
characters and spaces in length. This file can be any name and must
reside in the same directory as WSQUOTE.EXE.
4. WSQUOTE is executed with the following commmand.....
WSQUOTE
If the configuration file not named WSQUOTE.CFG the command is
WSQUOTE filename
Where filename is the name of the configuration file.
5. The next thing to do is put WSQUOTE in your nigthly event batch
file. Or, if you prefer a new quote or joke for every caller,
you can put WSQUOTE in your BETWEEN.BAT.
Example nighly event: CD \BBS\WS-QUOTE
WSQUOTE
CD \BBS\TRIBBS
BOARD
Example between.bat: CD \BBS\WS-QUOTE
WSQUOTE WSQUOTE1.CFG
CD \BBS\TRIBBS
Note: For additional information on the use of the between.bat
file, please refer to your TriBBS manual.
