Quote of the Day v2.5
Written by Money-Mac
Disclaimer
==========
I will not be held responsible for any damage that this program may cause.
This program is in no way guaranteed to perform in any particular manor on
any system. It comes as is with no guarantee that it will work. It did work
on my system, and my beta site as well. No modifications may be made to the
this programs executable files, and no modifications to the QUOTES.DAT file
may be distrubuted in the programs archive. If you do not agree to all of
the terms above then do not use the program.
Introduction
============
Quote of the Day is a logon event that random chooses a quote that can
contain up to three lines to display to users everytime they logon. This
program comes with 113 quotes already, but may be explanded to an unlimited
number of quotes. I made this program because I was frustrated with all of
the other quote programs out there that either didn't work or had a lack of
documentation for you to set it up, or had a ridiculas registration
requirement or a BIG FLASHING Unregistered mark everytime somebody logons.
I have tried and looked at almost every quote gernerating program for WWIV
and this in my opinion is the best there is. I hope you enjoy it as much as
I do.
Installation
============
Quote of the Day is very easy to install. First copy or unzip all of the
files into your main BBS directory (Where Chain.txt is located), then if
you have a logon event batch file just add quick quote to it and your ready
to go. Otherwise go into your init program and for the logon event enter
"QUOTES.EXE" for the logon event. It's that simple. Hope you enjoy this
program.
History of Program
==================
v1.0 - Quote of the Day's First release (Released only for beta testing)
v1.5 - Allowed 3 lines to a quote instead of only 1
(Released only for beta testing)
v2.0 - Quotes are now placed in boxes (specially made to fit the quote
perfectly), colors are now produced with WWIV's heart code system
instead of using ANSIC (ANSI producing codes) so that Monochrome users
can view it as well. (Released only for beta testing)
v2.5 - You can now have an unlimited number of quotes rather than being
limited to 200 as in versions 1.5 and 2.0. Also a small bug fix
that fixed the way the program randomly chooses the quotes.
(First official release to the general public)
Registration
============
This program is NOT PD, but there is NO REGISTRATION FEE for using it.
It would still be GREATLY appriciated if you would drop the author a line
telling him thanks or how you like the program, or if you have any ideas or
suggestions for future versions. That would make up for my time and effort
and the radiation from the monitor I was exposed to.
I can be reached at the following places:
1@1 JAMDnet
1@5084 WWIVnet
or call my board (JAMD BBS) at [510]236-6111
Thanks for your interest in Quote of the Day.
