Description:


* A Multi Language Selector for the internal Text Strings used in Mebbsnet *



I Wrote this door a year ago, cause i wanted to see a multi language Mebbsnet
bbs, but i forgot about it, and saw it again in my Source dir, so i completed
the project and wrote some docs for it.

So i had an hour or so free when i wrote and finished it. It is a very simple
door program that can be used for the following thinks like:

* start the door in a login.txt file, sothat a user can select the prefered
  language
* use and start the door from the main menu, a nice place is where the user can
  change during his visit at the bbs, to a other language.
* Use your OWN designed strings, so edit the original mebbsstrings.TXT to your
  OWN strings, sothat a user can USE your strings.
* Create MULTIPLE languages like russion,polish etc and add them to your door


Usage:

* just create in your DOORS: assignment a directory called language.
* copy the door an example languages in this directory
* create an antry to start the door from a menu and or edit a textfile
  to start the door automaticcally
* There can be 99 different languages installed:

  - just edit a origianl mebbsstrings.txt file to YOUR language
  - save the mebbsstrings.txt file to the name YOU want in your doors:language/
    directory
  - edit the supplied .TXT and GRx file and fill in the options number and
    description of your newly created strings file.
  - create a NEW 'Install_X file in your doors:language directory, the 'X'
    is the number you put in as the Option Number in your Text Files so:

    if [3] is in your .TXT or .GRx file, create a Install_3 file.
  - Edit the install_3 file, a example is:


----------------------- INSTALL_3 ------------------------------
    c:copy doors:language/engels TO Mebbsnet:s/MEBBSStrings.TXT
    MEBBSNET:c/BBSStringParse
    MEBBSNET:c/RescanStrings

-------------------------- CUT ---------------------------------

  in the above example a Mebbsstrings.txt file is saved as 'engels', it;s
  copied to the Mebbsnet:s/ file as a Mebbsstrings.TxT file
  Than all the commands are executed to Enable the NEW selected language.

  Thats' IT !!!
