- QuoteIt version 2.00 Baker Street Software
- =================================================================
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- Introduction
-
- QuoteIt will produce new ANSI/ASCII bulletins each time that it
- is run using a list that you make. I had a quoting program on my
- BBS for a long time 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.
-
- The following files should be included in the distribution
- archive:
-
- QUOTEIT.EXE - main program
- QUOTEIT.DOC - program documentation
- WHATSNEW.200 - revision changes/history
- README.1ST - upgrade instructions
- QCONVERT.EXE - quote list conversion utility
- QCONVERT.DOC - Qconvert documentation
- LIST.001 - sample quote list
- LIST.002 - sample quote list
- LIST.003 - sample quote list
- FILE_ID.DIZ - program description
- REGISTER.FRM - registration form
-
- The following files will be created by QuoteIt:
-
- QUOTEIT.CFG - QuoteIt configuration information
- QUOTEIT.CNT - number of quote that is currently in use
-
- The following files will be created by you and used by QuoteIt
-
- QUOTEIT.LST - list of quotes
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- Using QuoteIt
-
- Begin QuoteIt by merely running QUOTEIT at the dos prompt. The
- first time the program is run it will automatically enter the
- configuration mode and you will to configure the program,
- entering the paths, output filenames, and colors you wish to use.
-
- Running QUOTEIT -CONFIG will return you to the configuration mode
- to make changes at a later time.
-
- After configuring the program you will need to use an ASCII text
- editor to produce a list of the quotes or phrases that you want
- to be put into the bulletins, or you may wish to use one of the
- quote lists provided. I any case this file must be named
- QUOTEIT.LST.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- To use QuoteIt the files QUOTEIT.EXE, QUOTEIT.CFG, QUOTEIT.LST,
- and QUOTEIT.CNT 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.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- QuoteIt files
-
- QUOTEIT.LST 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.
-
- QUOTEIT.CFG This file contains the paths, output filenames,
- and colors you specified. Unlike the previous
- version of QuoteIt this is NOT an ASCII file. You
- may edit this file only with the QUOTEIT -CONFIG
- parameter. If this file does not exist when you
- run QuoteIt then the program will prompt you for
- the information.
-
-
- QUOTEIT.CNT This file is merely used by QuoteIt to keep up
- with which quote in the list is currently in use.
- You may edit this file if for some reason you feel
- you need to.
-
-
- QUOTEIT.KEY The .KEY file is where you put your registration
- number that you get when you register. Currently
- there are no "registered" features of QuoteIt, but
- there may be sometime in the future.
