| Introduction                                                                |

  SAD-Request is another kind of an REQUEST DOOR.  If anybody like to have an
  new  ansi  he  could  specify everything like WHO should do it and for what
  needs he would like to have it and so on.

  This  door was mainly done for H2o/SAD and his BBS called RAVELAND!  But we
  decided to make it public because it is just GREAT!


.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------.
| Requirements                                                                |
`-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'

  I  don`t  know If Mr.  J.  Hodge has changed the /X REXX PORT since /X $Ver
  2.0!  But If he did so then you need at least /X 2.0+ to run this door!

  Amiga  OS 2.04+ would also be very usefull because of the RexxMAST you need
  to run this door!


.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------.
| Features                                                                    |

  A user can request ansis and specify thinks like:

  · Ansi Artist to do it
  · The Name (IMPORTANT! 8^) ) the ansi should show
  · For what the ansi should be used (DMS BANNER, LHA ADD, BBS INTERNAL etc.)
  · The Style (PLAIN, COLORED, PERFECT, PERFECT / COLOR)
  · The MAX. hight and widht of the Ansi

  News in 1.7:
  ------------
  · Direct REQUEST handling for the ARTISTS from INSIDE the door!
  · Requests will be automatically attached to a MESSAGE!
  · Original REQUEST MSG from the USER will be deleted if still exists!
  · Some Code optimizing!
  · Fixed a bug in MSG send! It was NOT PRIVATE!!!

  What  do  this  mean!?   Well,  realy  simple  i  guess!   In  the previous
  version(s)  of ARQ the ARTIST had to upload the request to somewhere on the
  bbs  and  maybe  (if he`s a friendly one) leave the User for which the Ansi
  was  for  a  MSG  about  that he ul it!  No need of that crap anymore!  The
  Author can do anything from the door itself with a minimum of work!

  To  be  able to do this the ARTIST have to call the door and choose HIMSELF
  as  the  ARTIST!  If e.g.  H2o will choose H2o as the artist to do the ansi
  the  door  will  recognice this and will open HIS PRIVATE menu!  There he`s
  able  to upload the finished ansi directly to the user  without trashing  a
  Conference Filedir allover!

  News in 2.0:
  ------------

  · Removed Request MSG to ARTIST send! Read why ...
  · The REQUEST  datas  will  NOT  be  send  as  an MESSAGE anymore as in the
    previous versions because we figured out that this would trash da msgbase
    TOOO  much!   So  a datafile for each artist will be created which he can
    download!  That`s  a more intelligent way I think because by this way the
    artist must not write down all da  requests by hand & he can now download
    the WHOLE REQUESTS in one file!
  · NEW GREAT H2o OUTFIT! GREAT!
  · Recoded Main Menu Handling! Saved about 20lines of code!

  Once  back to the REQUEST DOWNLOAD ...  The Artist can get this file by the
  same way as he can enter the ANSWER REQUEST Menu!  I put a menu in there to
  choose what he want to do:  DL REQUEST FILE , UL FINISHED REQUEST(s) , BACK
  TO MENU. That`s it! Just check it out if you don`t know what I mean!

| Installation                                                                |

  Copy the Dir "BBS/DOORS/SCEPTIC/F!-AnsiRequest" to your "DOORS:"

  Copy  the given BBSCMD to your "BBSCMD" location or wherever you store your
  BBS COMMANDS!

  Now  load  the  config  file  and  edit  it to your needs:  Here`s a closer
  information:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONFPATH	= "confs:asski/MSGBASE"
                · Full path to the Conference where to store the ANSIREQUEST
                  Messages
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AMOUNT		= 2
                · How many ARTISTS to be able to request ansis on!
                  -/-> MAX. 10 <-\-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME		= "h2o"
                · First name to be displayed in the MENU
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME		= "flI7e"
                · Second name to be displayed in the MENU
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME		= "Dickhead"
                · ...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
USERNAME	= "-h2o!-"
                · the 1st REAL USERNAME of the artists or his representative!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
USERNAME	= "[%] FLI7e [%]"
                · the 2nd REAL USERNAME of the artists or his representative!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
USERNAME	= "->Dick÷Head<-"
                · ...


For a FULL configfile with 10 Artists it should look like this

		CONFPATH	= "..."
		AMOUNT		= 10
		NAME		= "001"
		NAME		= "002"
		NAME		= "003"
		NAME		= "004"
		NAME		= "005"
		NAME		= "006"
		NAME		= "007"
		NAME		= "008"
		NAME		= "009"
		NAME		= "010"
		USERNAME	= "001"
		USERNAME	= "002"
		USERNAME	= "003"
		USERNAME	= "004"
		USERNAME	= "005"
		USERNAME	= "006"
		USERNAME	= "007"
		USERNAME	= "008"
		USERNAME	= "009"
		USERNAME	= "010"


  Can`t be easier i think?!

----------------------------- !!!-> WARNING <-!!! -----------------------------

  MAKE  SURE  THAT  THE  MSGBASE IS NOT EMPTY WHEN RUNNING THE DOOR THE FIRST
  TIME!  I DID NOT INLCUDE A "MAKE HEADERFILE" or "MAKE MAILSTAT" FILE OPTION
  BECAUSE  I  THINK  IT`S USELESS!  SO IF THERE`S NO PREVIOUS MSG SENT IN THE
  CONF  WHERE YOU LIKE TO HAVE THE REQUEST MAILS BEEN STORED THEN WRITE A MSG
  AND DELETE IT!

    SCEPTIC itself was founded in the early month of 1992! We released some
             demos, intros, trainers, patches and ansi collections.

      Our most famous production was CHIPMANIA (soon be released under the
                 HAUJOBB label because I (fli7e) joined them!)

      Then .. In summer 1994 I kicked all inactive members and decided to
     change the way we go! DEMO-GROUP .. R.I.P .. /X + Toolgroup .. ALIVE!

   From there on we worked a long time in the underground .. NO RELEASES ..!

   But that should change NOW! With your help a famous group could be REBORN!
