- QuoteIt
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- QuoteIt will produce a new bulletin each time that it is run using a
- list that you make. I had a quoting program on my BBS for a long
- that worked well, but it was always annoying that it would not allow
- me to have a blank line anywhere within a quote. This program will
- allow you to do that.
-
- Associated files are:
-
- QUOTEIT.EXE - main program
- QUOTEIT.CFG - path and BBS information (created by QuoteIt)
- QUOTEIT.LST - list of quotes or phrases that you make
- QUOTEIT.ANS - ANSI bulletin created by QuoteIt
- QUOTEIT.ASC - ASCII bulletin created by QuoteIt
-
- Starting QuoteIt
-
- Begin QuoteIt by merely running QUOTEIT at the dos prompt. If this is
- the first time that the program has been run then you will be prompted
- for your path and BBS information and the file QUOTEIT.CFG will be
- created. After this you will need to use your favorite text editor to
- produce an ASCII only file of the quotes or phrases that you want to
- be put into the bulletins.
-
- 1. The QUOTEIT.LST file
-
- The list of quotes/phrases must be in a file named QUOTEIT.LST.
- this list can be as long as you like. In the list you create
- each quote/phrase must be preceeded by an exclamation mark "!"
- on a line alone. For example:
-
- !
- Quote blah, blah, blah.....
- !
- Quote blah, blah, blah.....
-
- !
- Quote blah, blah, blah.....
-
- Each quote/phrase may be as many lines as you like and may
- contain blank lines as well.
-
- 2. The QUOTEIT.CFG file
-
- This file contains the paths and output filenames that you want
- the QuoteIt program to produce. It will also contain a number
- so that QuoteIt can keep track of which quote it should use next.
- If you wish to create this file manually or edit it later the
- format is:
-
- d:\path\filename.ext [drive][path][ASCII output filename]
- d:\path\filename.ext [drive][path][ANSI output filename]
-
- If this file does not exist when you run QuoteIt then the program
- will prompt you for the information.
-
- To use QuoteIt the files QUOTEIT.EXE, QUOTEIT.CFG, QUOTEIT.LST
- must be in the same directory. Just run QuoteIt in your batch
- file and the next quote/phrase in the list will be written into
- the bulletins.
