WCRIPBRO is a powerful and flexible "Page Browser" for RIP screens that 
operates much in the same manner as the Mosiac(tm) and NetScape(tm) 
browsers work on the Internet.  It gives the WildCat!(tm) BBS operator 
the ability to display RIP screen pages through which the user can 
traverse based upon which button is pressed or which color highlighted 
mouse region is clicked on any given screen.  Even more importantly, it 
incorporates all of the functions and utilities that are found within 
the WildCat! system, right into the browser itself.  For example, 
without leaving the browser, you can allow the user to display bulletin 
menus, bulletins, newsletters; list, search, mark, upload and download 
files, scan, read, enter or delete messages; list users, page users or 
the sysop, and virtually any other function that can be done from a menu 
within WildCat!.   It actually allows you to make a "Page" based system 
within a system.

You can even enter doors from within WCRIPBRO!  You can enter WCRIPBRO 
from any menu in your WildCat! system, and based upon the user's input, 
re-enter WildCat! at the same or any other specified WildCat! menu at 
the end of the WCRIPBRO session.

Using the system, you can sell AD pages that can have text, graphics, 
and/or picture files attached to them that the user can read or view 
on-line or download at the click of a mouse button.  The system's 
flexibility and potential uses are only limited by your own imagination.

And building your WCRIPBRO 'Page' based system is as easy as using your 
favorite RIP editor program to build RIP screens - - you simply designate 
the FILENAME of the Page to GOTO in the Text To Send area of any Button 
or Mouse Region you define.  If you want to perform ANY WildCat! 
function or display, simply insert the WCRIPBRO command (and any 
parameters if required) at the same "Text to Send" prompt for the Button 
or Mouse Region.  Its as simple as that.

Currently you can preview a DEMO of WcRIPBRO by dialing in to the
COMDINET.COM BETA site at (816) 453-9375.  Follow the entry screens
and LOGIN to the TravNet! Host.  When you arrive at the MAIN MENU, click
on the WcRIPBRO DEMO BUTTON.  (If you don't have RIP capabilities in
your communication program, you cannot get to, nor would it be any use
to get to this program).

INSTALLATION

Installation of WCRIPBRO is a simple process.  Copy the WCRIPBRO.WCX 
program and the WCRIPBRO.CFG files into your WildCat! home directory.  
Create a separate directory for the associated .HLP and .RIP files that 
accompany the program, usually \WCRIPBRO.  (The included files are a 
demo that uses the system itself to describe features, and command 
instructions.) 

Use MAKEMENU to install the WCRIPBRO.WCX program as a menu item in the 
menu of your choice.  Use INSERT to add an entry to the menu, choose a 
menu letter, the type should be RUN WC CODE and the parameter should be 
the Drive and path specification of your WildCat! home directory, and 
the WCRIPBRO.WCX program name.

If you put the demo .HLP and .RIP files in a directory other than 
C:\WCRIPBRO, edit the WCRIPBRO.CFG file and change line 1 to the drive 
and directory you used.  Line 2 is the filename of the first 'page' to 
be displayed when WCRIPBRO is called.  It is currently set to the demo 
first screen.

Your installation is now complete!  (For the demo)

After you create your own system of pages, you only need to edit the 
WCRIPBRO.CFG file and do the following to have the system present your 
pages instead of the DEMO program:

1.  Edit Line 1 and type in the Drive and Directory path where your 
    own pages are stored.
2.  Edit Line 2 and type in the FileName of the FIRST screen you want 
    displayed when the system is accessed - the system will do the rest.

PLEASE NOTE:  WildCat! does not support viewing RIP screens on the local 
console.  In order to view the demo, (or your own programs), you must 
call in to your system from another phone line.  Remember, this program 
is for displaying RIP pages... if your, or a user's communications 
program does not support RIP graphics, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE 
ANYTHING!

***NOTE***NOTE***NOTE***NOTE***NOTE***NOTE***NOTE***NOTE***

If your communication program supports RIP graphics and you would 
like to see a demonstration of WCRIPBRO in action, you can dial into 
the TravNet! BETA TEST SYSTEM at the following number: 

             (816) 453-9375

Choose ENGLISH as your Language, and on the next screen type in RIPBRO 
and press ENTER.  This will run a DEMO of the WCRIPBRO program, and 
allow you 5 minutes to browse the pages.

If you try WCRIPBRO and decide to use it on your system, PLEASE REGISTER IT!

The registered copy will remove the ***UNREGISTERED*** text from the 
bottom of the pages, and will allow you to have stacked commands for even 
more flexibility and versatility.  Plus you will receive the latest 
version of the software.

    ADDENDA:  12 JUN 95    Version 1.10  Release

    Several changes made: 

    For Page to Page traversal, the filename of a PAGE to be displayed by
    the click on a BUTTON or MOUSE region may still be entered directly
    in the Text to Send field... HOWEVER, it is recommended that these
    now be entered preceeded by the DISPLAYPAGE command (<DP>).

    Example :  <DP>NEWPAGE.RIP

    While simply entering the FILENAME will be supported for the near
    future, the change was made to accomodate the new KEYWORD Search
    Utility option.  If you anticipate using this option now or in the
    future, you will have to use the <DP> command to do your page
    traversals, including any PAGEs that you currently have defined.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    WcRIPBRO KEYWORD Search Utility Option is Released

    The WcRIPBRO KEYWORD Search Utility will allow your users to do a
    keyword search, including the use of AND, OR and NOT operators to 
    narrow their search, of KEYWORDS defined for any or all of your 
    pages.  The search results will be displayed showing the file name
    and NAME or DESCRIPTION of the PAGE.  The user need only click on
    the listed item, and the system will immediately take them to that
    page.  This is great for searching Ad systems or anything else you
    may have defined, by KEYWORD.

    The New Commands associated with this option are:

    <XS>  KEYWORDSEARCH  Execute the KEYWORD Search Utility

    <XK>  KEYWORDDEFINE  Define a keyword in your PAGE

    <XN>  NAMEPAGE       Name or provide a Description of the Page

    See the updated MANUAL.DOC for details on using these commands if
    you have purcased this option module.

    To install the KEYWORD module, simply unzip the file, and place the
    program in your WildCat! Home Directory.... That's it!!!

    The KEYWORD Search Module is currently a $20 option --- for a limited
    time only!  Get yours today!
