- Description of RANDANSI
-
-
- Randansi is a shareware program that can be used to select a random ANSI
- screen for most BBS welcome screens. Randansi has been used with Quickbbs, but
- should work with any major BBS program that can run from a batch file. Randansi
- will change the ANSI screen randomly, each time a user logs on. Thus, one can
- utilize many ANSI screens at the same time. Randansi is Shareware, and if you
- find it useful or helpful to your BBS, a $5 registration would be appreciated.
- This is a extremely fair price for this program, and compared with most other
- shareware utilities, is downright CHEAP! Your registration is appreciated and
- will allow me to continue writing shareware programs. Thanks!!

- Setting up RANDANSI: RANDANSI.CFG
-
- RANDANSI.CFG is the configuration file for Randansi. This needs to be
- changed to suit your BBS program and directories. Either create or delete and
- write a new CFG file with any text editor. The CFG file included contains the
- following lines:
-
- c:\ansi
- c:\quickbbs\txtfiles\welcome.ans
-
-
- The first line specifies the directory where your ANSI (.ANS) files are
- located. Notice the lack of a trailing backslash. Including the backslash will
- cause an error and halt the program. If no ANSI files are found in that
- directory, the program will halt and keep the default ANSI screen. The second
- line is the complete path of your intro, or welcome, ANSI file. Be sure to type
- in the full path on this one. That's it, easy configuration!
-
-
- Batch File Usage:
-
- RANDANSI should ideally be run from a batch file. With Quickbbs users,
- I found it best to simply put it at the beginning of a batch file that loads
- Quickbbs. This works fine. Frontdoor and mailer users can put Randansi either
- before or after loading the BBS. Loading after allows a faster logons for
- users.

- Bugs and Comments
-
- Although this is version 1.0, bugs and improvements may be needed. If
- you have a specific configuration that won't work, or the program will simply
- will not work for you, drop me a note. I can be reached on the Wizz BBS in
- Willmar, Minnesota at 612-231-2238. Or write me a letter explaining your
- configuration and problem to:

-
- Any comments or jokes (good or bad), would be greatly appreciated.

- Registration
-
- Randansi is shareware and a $5 registration would be appreciated. This
- will allow me to write more shareware utils. When many shareware programs are
- $40-$50 and up, $5 is an economical way to clear your conscience and feel good
- about yourself. Registration can be sent to:
