- Why Free?
- Well, I have had this thing sitting on the Hard drive and was going
- to put all kinds of bells and whistles on it but got onto other projects
- and so here it is a free version!
-
- FREECHAT will look for the RA enviroment variable to get some basic
- information from RACONFIG (sysop name,bbs name) if you don't have
- something like SET RA=C:\RA in your autoexect.bat then this program
- will not run.
- FREECHAT will look in it's current directory for the sound files.
-
- The next version will be shareware and will have many more features
-
- How to use it:
-
- I have included two batch files,CHAT.BAT and SYSCHAT.BAT you will need
- both to properly run this thing.
- assuming you create a subdirectory off RA called CHAT then the batch
- files will fly as is (also assuming you use DORINFO1.DEF)
- If you wish to use a different directory for FREECHAT then modify the
- Batch files to suit,same goes for using DOOR.SYS
- Fire up FREECHAT without any command line params to see the options on
- using DORINFO1.DEF or DOOR.SYS...
-
- Local use would be : FREECHAT /S=PAGE.SND /L /T=99 (where /T=time)
-
- To use online:
-
- Setup a menu hotkey and in the Opt Param insert:
- *C /C C:\RA\CHAT\CHAT *M *D *N
-
- where *M will swap out, *D will use Dorinfo1.def, and (Important!) *N will
- assign the node number to the batch file so the batch file will actually
- be started up with CHAT1 for node 1,CHAT2 for node 2 etc...
-
- Now For the sysop who wants to break in for chat:
-
- Use the included SYSCHAT.BAT
- Goto RACONFIG > Manager > ALTFn Keys >
- and insert: *C /C C:\RA\CHAT\SYSCHAT *! *M *D *N
- if you inserted this in the number 1 position then to break into chat
- on a user you would press ALT-F1
-
- The use of the ALTFn keys is handy if you still want to ALT-C with RA's
- built in line chat *OR* if a user logs on with IEMSI (such as Terminate)
- then RA will use it's own built in split screen chat...
- so this will leave you options open...
-
- Standard Disclaimer:
-
- FREECHAT,!PLAYER and !PLAY are garaunteed to take up space on you hard
- drive...use at your own risk.
-
- Note:
- FREECHAT does not read the USERON.BBS to see if a user has already paged
- you or not.
- Nor does it read the page hours (these will be in the sharware version)
-
- Hey Wadda ya want for Free!
-
- BONUS!
- also included is a bunch of sound files that you can use with FREECHAT
- and an Extra Bonus is !PLAYER which is a pulldown menu system for
- playing sound files without logging on,Just unzip PAGES.ZIP and
- type !PLAYER also included is !PLAY that can be used to play sound files
- in batch files...
-
-
- Ok that's enough...
-
- Have fun,if you need a hand just holler in RA_UTIL
