                       code: BiLBo BaGGins/M!^RNX

You now have the Betatester-Archive of the newest BB-Quicknew version. There
can be some bugs. If you find some, try to contact and tell me exactly where
the bugs happend. Thanks.




Information:
============
BB-Quicknew is a door/util that shows the today uploaded files of a
conference in a Bulletin. Normal files are shown in white, nuked ones in red.
The program is door and util. It detects if it`s started as door or as util.
Everything is controlled by a config-file, which makes it very easy to use.
It has some neat features to run it as util in the C_Area file(s) like
configureable screenclear, pause prompt, nonstop-toggle and the possibility
to append it to an existing file.




Installation:
=============
Copy BB-Quicknew to Doors: or where you want.


Use as a door:
--------------

Edit the C_Area.x files(s):
--------------------------> cut here <--------------------------
~TD(Doors:BB-Quicknew)
--------------------------> cut here <--------------------------

Edit the Bulletins.opt file:
--------------------------> cut here <--------------------------
[20-,*,*,*,*] =1   |T-DOOR|Tempest:Doors/BB-Quicknew
--------------------------> cut here <--------------------------

You must have a config-file for each Conference that tells BB-Quicknew to
show the Bulletin  in that conference. It must be in the same Directory
as BB-Quicknew and be named BB-Quicknew.x.cfg (x for the Conference).
You can add a banner in front of it if you want. Just place it in the same
directory as BB-Quicknew and name it BB-Quicknew.x.cfg.banner (x for the
conference).


Use as a util:
--------------

Edit the Logoff-x.bat files(s):
--------------------------> cut here <--------------------------
Doors:BB-Quicknew Doors:BB-Quicknew.2.cfg
--------------------------> cut here <--------------------------

The second argument is the path and name of the config-file. You must make
a config-file for each conference where you want the Bulletin. If you want
a banner in front of it, just copy it to the same dir where the config-
file is and name it x.banner (x for the config-file).


Edit the BB-Quicknew.cfg file(s):
---------------------------------

Example with defaults:
--------------------------> cut here <--------------------------
1                                    // Design (1 <= design >= 3 )
0                                    // Screenclear at start (0=Yes, 1=No)
0                                    // Pause at end (0=Yes, 1=No)
0                                    // Show nonstop (0=Yes, 1=No) (only Util)
0                                    // File 0=New 1=Append        (only Util)
2                                    // Conference Number          (only Util)
Tempest:Catalogs/                    // Path to Catalogs           (only Util)
T:Text.txt                           // Outputfile                 (only Util)
--------------------------> cut here <--------------------------

1.line: The Design you want to have.
        0 for a random design
        1 for a design by my own (looks like the Boss utils on /X)
        2 for a design by my own (looks like the Pot-Noodle utils on /X)
        3 for a design by Shapechanger/dEZIGN
2.line: If you want a screenclear before displaying
        0 for Yes
        1 for No
3.line: If you want to have a Pause-Prompt after displaying
        0 for Yes
        1 for No
4.line: If you want to have it shown nonstop                      (ONLY UTIL)
        0 for Yes
        1 for No
        That is very important if you join some Bulletins to one. As the
        Nonstop command is a Toggle, you would turn it on/off everytime.
5.line: If you want to append it to an existing file              (ONLY UTIL)
        0 for creating a new file
        1 for appending it to an existing file.
        With that you can join it to an existing file.
6.line: Number of the Conference
7.line: Path of the Catalogs                                      (ONLY UTIL)
8.line: Path and Name of the outputfile                           (ONLY UTIL)
