There's not much to say about this program.  People can write short messages
which anyone else can read.  To the average caller, it doesn't show who
wrote what.  The SYSOP gets an extra menu called Maintenance where he can
check who wrote something.  If you have a problem with someone posting
obscene messages, you'll be able to tell who they are.  The Maintenance Menu
will also let you delete messages.

=================================== REVISIONS ===============================

Version 1.5 added the ability to skip messages or quit while reading.  I
noticed the necessity of this while making a call to Peter Deane's board in
Australia and accidentally hitting <R>ead for the second time.  His callers
had posted a LOT of messages and I had to wait on all of them to go by a
second time at cross-Pacific rates!  Well, at least they were an entertaining
bunch.  The basic source code was also released with this version.  Gee, it
is sure hard to find source code for doors, so I'm starting to release mine,
even though some of it is quite messy.  I frequently write my doors during my
lunch hour at work on an IBM and then port them over.  So, some of the code
has those ugly line numbers and some doesn't.  At least it works (cross those
fingers!)

Version 2.0 had a few changes.  First, the messages are no longer scanned and
counted.  The total is kept in the CONFIG.DAT file.  Second, an adult wall 
has been added.  Third, you can set the security levels required for access to
the Adult Wall and Maintenance Menu.  Fourth, a setup program has been added
that will create CONFIG.DAT, count the messages, and ask for the security
levels.  To convert from an earlier version:

     RENAME GRAFFITI.DAT GRAFFITI-1.DAT
     RUN AMIGABASIC SETUP.BAS

Version 3.0 is a big revision.  You can have up to 30 walls and each can have
a different security level.  Also, ANSI is now displayed on the main terminal.
I also included the text editor from Percy's "Never Ending Story."  The sysop
can decide how many lines messages can be, too!  To convert from an earlier
version:

     DELETE CONFIG.DAT
     RUN AMIGABASIC SETUP.BAS

Then just answer the questions.  You'll need to add a "Regular Wall" and an
"Adult Wall" for it to be exactly like version 2.0.  I think it's pretty
self-explanatory (but of course I wrote the thing and don't need directions).

==================================   THANKS   =================================

Thanks to Percy Broadnax for writing Metro BBS!  The ANSI routines were written
by him and so was the text editor (doesn't sound like I did too much does it?),
oh yeah, and he did the modem routines (I just know that I must have done
SOMETHING to have spent so much time on it).  Thanks to Larry Cloud for
reporting a bug in v2.0 that let everyone access the Adult Wall!

================================== OTHER INFO =================================

This is my 4th door program for Metro BBS.  Others include Trivia, Acey Ducey,
Guess Again and a Mail Utility.  A multi-player game is nearing completion and
is currently being tested on my board.  Give me a call if you'd like to see
where it's headed.  ANSI is currently being added!

I may be contacted through my board, THE OUTER LIMITS from Monday through
Friday, 8:00am to 7:00pm.  The number is 1-304-327-7452.
