WWIVType v1.00

Ok, this program isn't really anything big. It's just like the DOS TYPE
command, except that it changes WWIV's 'heart' color codes (ASCII 003) into
colors. Obviously, if you don't have a color monitor, this program will be
pretty useless to you.
It uses the WWIV v4.24 color codes. The colors are determined by the #1
user's colors. It also uses the center text character (ASCII 002) to center
what comes after it on the line.
Also, if you have SPV061IB.MOD installed, it will read your COLOR.DAT file to
get your extended colors and use them when displaying the file (SPV061IB.ZIP
can be found on Breakaway ][ 410-730-7499 [ASV/GSA]). It finds your data
directory from your CONFIG.DAT file, so you must have CONFIG.DAT in your path
to run this (It also uses CONFIG.DAT to get your BBS Name for registration
data). This is the only extended colors mod supported currently. If you use
a different one, e-mail me with the mod and I'll add it in the next release.
The mod >MUST< be compatible with WWIV v4.24.
There is only one commandline argument, the file that you want to see in WWIV
color. It must be the first argument on the commandline, and all following
arguments are ignored. Also, if /L is the first argument, all available
colors will be listed.
ANSI codes are not currently supported, but if requested, I may add them in
the next version.
Since this is a pretty simple program, I'm not asking much money for it. I'm
not a computer programmer, and don't need to make a living off it. So, you
can register this program for just $1! To register, just print out
WWIVTYPE.REG, fill it in, enclose the check (no cash please!), mail it to me,
and you're registered! Make sure you PRINT your BBS Name CLEARLY and EXACTLY
as it is in INIT. I use your BBS Name to determine your registration key and
it is CASE-SENSITIVE.
To contact me for suggestions, etc., e-mail me at the addresses at the top of
this file.
