- WHAT IS QMAKER?
-
- QMAKER is a utility which will randomly choose a QUOTE from a text file which
- you can edit, and place it in your ONCEONLY.ASC ONCEONLY.ANS files. Then. when
- a caller logs on REMOTE ACCESS will automatically display your ONCEONLY files
- to them. It is a very simple utility, and it does not require you to REGISTER,
- and does not say [UNREGISTERED] anywhere.
-
- TAKE NOTE: This version of QMAKER does not create a COLOR file. The QUOTE.ASC
- file which is created is PLAIN ASCII ONLY. A future version of QMAKER will do
- COLOR quote files. The COLORIZED version of QMAKER will be sent to everyone
- who registers as soon as it is completed.

- FILE CONTENTS
-
- QMAKER.EXE This is the main executable file. This file will be placed in a
- directory called C:\RA\QUOTE\
-
- QMAKER.DOC You are reading it now.
-
- QMAKER.CFG The file containing the name of your BBS
-
- QUOTES.TXT The file containing all the quotes.
-
- QUOTE.BAT The BATCH file which will call the QMAKER program. This will be
- placed in your C:\RA\ directory so you can call it with a type
- 7 door C:\COMMAND.COM /C QUOTE.BAT
-
- INSTALL.BAT This batch file will create the C:\RA\QUOTE\ directory and copy
- files there, and to your C:\RA\ directory.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- THE "QUOTE.BAT" FILE
-
- CD C:\RA\QUOTE <--Change to the QUOTE directory
-
- QMAKER.EXE <--Execute Qmaker v1.0
-
- COPY QUOTE.ASC C:\RA\TEXT\ONCEONLY.ASC <--Copy the created QUOTE.ASC file to
- COPY QUOTE.ASC C:\RA\TEXT\ONCEONLY.ANS the TEXT directory as ONCEONLY.ASC
- you can change this to something
- else if you like, or if the PATHS
- don't match.
-
- CD C:\RA\ <--Change back to the main BBS DIR
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- THE "QUOTES.TXT" FILE
-
- Line 1 of this file will hold the NUMBER OF QUOTES contained in the file. Here
- is an example of this.
-
-
-
- 3
- Quote 1
- Quote 2
- Third Quote
- Any text you want to place
-
-
- To count the number of QUOTES find out how many lines long the QUOTES.TXT file
- is and subtract 1. Don't try to count them by cursoring down the screen. If you
- aren't using a text editor with X,Y coordinates then get a better editor. Make
- sure the last line isn't blank in the file. If it is, then subtract 2 to know
- how many quotes are in your file.
-
-
-
-
- TROUBLE SHOOTING QMAKER v1.0
-
- PROBLEM : The QUOTES are not being created.
- SOLUTION: Make sure the PATHS in the "QUOTE.BAT" file are correct.
- Make sure your BBS is in a directory called C:\RA\
-
-
- PROBLEM : The PATHS that are used in the BATCH files for QMAKER do not match
- the PATHS of my system.
- SOLUTION: You may modify the paths in your batch file as you see fit.
-
-
- PROBLEM : How do I get rid of the Majestic BBS in the created QUOTE?
- SOLUTION: Edit the QMAKER.CFG file to say YOUR BBS name.
-
-
- PROBLEM : QMAKER is not executing for me.
- SOLUTION: Make sure you set up the MENU COMMAND which invokes QUOTE.BAT
- correctly. Refer to your BBS documentation for more info on this.

-
- UNREGISTERED QMAKER
-
- The UNREGISTERED version does not say UNREGISTERED anywhere, I don't think
- users need to know what is REGISTERED and what is NOT on your BBS. It doesn't
- help the BBS look professional with big flashing red UNREGISTERED's all over
- hell. I don't REQUIRE you to REGISTER this version of QMAKER either. Although
- there is one small restriction to this version.
-
- The unregistered version only allows up to 25 quotes in the QUOTES.TXT file.
- The registered version will allow up to 200 quotes, and will also create a
- COLORIZED quote file, as well as a BLACK AND WHITE quote file. However, at this
- moment the COLORIZED version is not done. Those who REGISTER this black and
- white version of QMAKER will receive a BLACK AND WHITE version which allows up
- to 200 quotes for now, and then the colorized version when it is completed.
