- First off, you use this program at your own risk! Don't try to
- hold me liable for it because I gave you fair warning! If something
- happens, I'm sorry. I've tested it out and haven't had any problems
- but that doesn't mean that something didn't get by me.
-
- Now that I've gotten that out of the way...
-
- Welcome to Switcher. Ever since TopEd came out, people have been
- wondering if there was a way to switch between QuickED and TopEd (It
- seems that some of the old timers couldn't get used to TopEd). Well,
- I didn't really do anything about it until the other day and this is
- my effort to help people. Switcher only supports TopEd and QuickEd.

-
- Installing switcher is easy. First off, copy swr.exe into your
- bbs directory. Pretty tough, huh?
-
- Then, in your Config program, remove the name of your editor and
- replace it with the switcher syntax. The syntax for swr has changed
- so be sure to do it exactly as I say or it will puke on you.
-
- The new syntax is: SWR.EXE <FLAG> <DIR ED> <DIR EX> *N
-
- If you are running multinode, you should put the path to swr.exe
- so that each node knows where to find it.
-
- <FLAG> is the flag that you want to use for QuickEd.
-
- <DIR ED> The path to TopEd and QuickEd (both must be in the same dir).
- Use a trailing \ or not. It is added if it's not there.
-
- <DIR EX> The path to the Exitinfo.bbs for each node. Use a trailing \
- or not. It is added if it's not there.
-
- *N If your bbs supports *N when calling the editor, use *N. If it
- doesn't, put the node number there (must be done for each node).
-
- Example:
-
- SWR.EXE D7 c:\quickbbs\ c:\quickbbs\ *N
-
- or
-
- SWR.EXE D7 c:\quickbbs\ c:\quickbbs\ 1
-
- or if you are running multinode...
-
- c:\quickbbs\swr.exe A5 c:\quickbbs\ *N
-
- c:\quickbbs\swr.exe A5 c:\node2\ *N
-
- or
-
- c:\quickbbs\swr.exe A5 c:\quickbbs\ c:\quickbbs\ 1
-
- c:\quickbbs\swr.exe A5 c:\quickbbs\ c:\node2\ 2
-
- Note to QuickBBS 2.75 users - QuickEd 1.20 tends to lock up when
- you put your cursor over a long line. Use QuickEd 1.10 and avoid the
- problem. DON'T USE QUICKED 1.20! You have been warned.
-
- Switcher is for QuickBBS 2.75 and RA 1.01+ (and maybe SBBS).
-
- Switcher was written in TP 6.0, using EXECSWAP. I used Pklite on
- the program to make it smaller. If you find a conflict, decompress
- it and try again.
-
- If you feel the urge to register this program, send at least $3
- to the Oklahoma Special Olympics. I don't want anything and I would
- rather see them get any money. In other words, this program is FREE
- and you may use it until Hell freezes over or the structures change
- and break it. Let me know if you find any bugs and I'll release a
- fix. I don't anticipate adding anything else to the thing so unless
- there are bugs, this is it. Ok, here it is. Have at it!
