(Off and on work mostly) and after looking arrond at the programs that were avaliable, I thought that WWIV sysops need a cheap and simple way of doing things on their system so I came up with the idea of the WWIVpro utilities. This is the first with a User Editor comming by the end of July. Most of these programs will be DonateWare. DonateWare is where you donate money to the author but you are in no way reqired to. (Kinda like freeware but futher development of the program would be encouraged by a donation) Setup ÄÄÄÄÄ Setup is simple, unzip all of the files in this archive to a directory some where. You could also unzip this file to your BBS or DATA directories. Config ÄÄÄÄÄÄ The config is allmost as easy. I have designed the program to take either command line switches, a INI style file, or a mix of both. Command Line Parameters ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ This is a list of all of the switches avaliable on the command line. You will see a direct comparison between these and the config file statements. I recomend using a config file for everything except a quick spur of the moment file listing. /HELP or /?

It works allmost like WWIV.INI except there are no [LALA] section names. (I am planning support in the next version for you to put your configs into sections of WWIV.INI like [General] and then you would put a /CFG=General,WWIV.INI or something along those lines on your command line to read it from WWIV.INI) NOTE: You can only have one config per file!

What you do is put a logo or some thing like that in it. When you use the HEADER option FLG will put the contents of the specified file on the top of the file list. There are 2 replacement codes that can be put in the header files. @@@DATE@@@ The Date When FLG Started @@TIME@@ The Time When FLG Started The reason for the size of the codes is that the represent the actuall size of the output. This is good if you want to put a border arround your header and want the sides to match up. Dates come out like 07-09-1995 and times like 09:45 am. Look at the sample file HEADER1.TXT for a example of the codes.
