- This program will require your name to play when in LOCAL mode. To call up
- this program, you need to have a .CFG file present in in the current
- directory.
-
- Modify the supplied DHSCOPE3.CFG to your needs. It is commented and contains
- information not supplied here.
-
- To invoke this program in local mode, simply type DHSCOPE3 or DHSCOPE3 LOCAL
- at the DOS prompt. Or to get this help type DHSCOPE3 ? at the DOS prompt.
-
- To set this program up as a door, modify the supplied DHSCOPE3.CFG and use
- the command DHSCOPE3 DHSCOPE3.CFG at the DOS prompt. You can change the name
- of the .CFG file and include drive and pathname.

-
- To create bulletins of the complete horoscopes for all zodiac signs, use the
- following switches:
-
- /B=D:\path\filename - Creates a bulletin with all horoscopes in the
- path directory, on drive D: as filename. Note
- If drive, path or filename are not included,
- the default filename will be DHSCOPE. and
- DHSCOPEG. in the current directory.
-
- /PCB - Will generate PCBoard color codes in the
- bulletin.
-
- /ANSI - Will generate two files; "filename" in ASCII
- text and "filenameG" in ANSI color.
-
- /NOASK - Will override the "see all horoscopes" prompt.
- FOR REGISTERED USERS ONLY!
-
- /NOCAL - Will suppress generating the calender during
- door operations. Does not effect bulletin
- generations. FOR REGISTERED USERS ONLY!
-
-
-
-
- /RAND - Will scramble the sentences each time the user
- enters the door. Does not generate a different
- horoscope, just rearranges the sentences.
-
- Here's some examples:
-
- DHSCOPE3 /B=C:\BBS\BULLETIN\BLT99 /ANSI
-
- Will create BLT99 in ASCII and BLT99G in ANSI on drive C: in the \BBS\BULLTIN
- directory.
-
- DHSCOPE3 /B /PCB
-
- Will create DHSCOPE in PCBoard color codes in the current directory.
-
- DHSCOPE3 NODE2.CFG /RAND /NOASK
-
- Will run the program as a door, mixing the sentences each time with no
- prompt to see all the horoscopes, using the NODE2.CFG configuration file.
-
-
-
- If an error occurs during program execution a file named DHSCOPE3.ERR will
- be created in the current directory and specify the error with a brief
- description. Type this file if an error occurs to see what you may have to
- change to fix it. If the error cannot be fixed, let me know exactly what
- the file contains. Also, if an error occurs that is not due to a program
- malfunction, or due to invalid data a program counter number will be
- displayed. Please write down this information as well as what occured
- before the error so that it can be recreated and correctly fixed. I am
- confident that there should be no errors within this program. I hope that
- you enjoy this program, and have fun with it.
