- │░░░░░░ INSTALLATION ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│
- ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
-
- Noter is a easy utility to install. It allows the SysOp to
- customize the output files, and paths for each node. Additionally
- full color configuration can be handled, for on Screen and Text
- File writing.
-
- This is done through the use of the Noter Config program,
- NOTERCFG.EXE. This utility creates a few configuration files which
- the game program looks for at program startup. These files are:
-
- NOTER.CFG (This File containd basic information for the Door
- including Path files, and setup information.)
- NOTER.CLR (This file contains the color configuration for NOTER
- and it's output files.)
- NOTERCFG.CLR (This is a color configuration file for NOTERCFG.EXE.)
-
- Optional Files
-
- NOTER.BAD (List of Bad Words that are not allowed to be used
- in Noter.)
- NOTER.NO (List of Users Not allowed to user Noter.)
-
- To use the setup utility, change to the directory containing the
- Noter files and enter the command NOTERCFG. A Default Config will be
- created and may be edited by displayed default prompts. Once
- NOTERCFG.EXE has been executed, NOTER can be run in the BBS system
- directory or in any directory of its own.
-
- Just work your way thru the NOTERCFG.EXE program and get a feel
- for it. Every file That you edit will give you a chance to Save the
- new configuration or exit the routine without saving.
-
- That's all there is to installing the NOTER utility.

- │░░░░░░ OPERATIONS ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│
- ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
-
- NOTER looks for a command line switch to select what your
- node prompt is.
-
- An example, of how you might call Noter as a type 7 which in
- turn calls a EXE:
-
- Type 7 command line:
-
- \BBS\NOTER\NOTER.EXE /N*N
-
- The Actual Door operation is controlled from the Config file
- you have created from NoterCfg.Exe. Note No other information needs
- to be passed to Noter once you have configured the Control file.
-
- Additionally if the colors you have chosen for the Door (or
- Default colors) does not look proper, Just change them in the
- NoterCfg.Exe.
