- Welcome/Goodbye Screen Rotator
- (C) Copyright 1992, Primex Software All rights Reserved
-
- About:
-
- WGSR (Rotate.Exe) is a program that will take multiple Welcome and multiple
- Goodbye screens, shift them, and save them in the file name defined by the
- SysOp. For instance, if you have 4 welcome screens and 6 goodbye screens,
- each one will be shifted.
-
- Usage:
-
- WGSR (Rotate.Exe) is command line driven without scarificing a good user
- interface. If you have tried to run it, you will notice that it cannot
- find a config file. Unlike some doors and some programs, you do not have
- to create a config file yourself. But before you run it, you need to do
- several things. First, put Rotate.Exe in it's own directory. Although this
- is not required, it keeps organization in your BBS. Next, you need to name
- your welcome screens "WELCOME.1, WELCOME.2," and so on for the number of
- screens you wish to have. Goodbye screens are the same, named "GOODBYE.1,
- GOODBYE.2," and so on. Now run Rotate.Exe with the "NC" option. This will
- automatically read in all of the welcome and goodbye screens. If you wish
- to have just one goodbye or one welcome screen, name it WELCOME.1 with no
- other WELCOME's in the directory. YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST ONE OF BOTH!! It
- will then ask for the path and prompt of both screens. Enter the complete
- path. It will then create a Config file and save it. The registered
- version will allow ascending, descending, and random orders to it and the
- beg screens will be removed. For more command line options, type "QUICK"
- as a command line and you will have a list of all of the commands.
-
- Other:
-
- Instead of having it rename goodbye and welcome screens, you can have it
- rename a Prelog In or a Main Menu. To do this, give it another directory of
- it's own and replace Prelog In with Welcome and Main Menu with Goodbye in
- the text above. Also, if your system runs a batch file when a caller logs
- off, you can have the screens rotate each log off. Or set it up as a daily
- event with a log on screen for every day of the week. If Tuesday is the day
- that you're setting up an important voting question, you can tell users in
- screen number 3 (Tuesday if Sunday is #1) that the voting question is here.
