    GPAPER .EXE will take a normal text file and add the computer paper
or greenbar effect to it.  One thing to remember though, is to keep the
lines of text to 65 columns or shorter.  The program will truncate the
text at 65 columns so you will lose part of the text if it is in a
longer format.

     The syntax for the command line is real simple:

   GPAPER <textfile to convert> <converted filename> <COLOR>

     GPAPER.EXE will by default create a file named "GPAPER" in the
current directory.  The program also adds either an ".SCR" or a ".BBS"
extension to the file depending on whether it is an ANSI or ASCii file.
 GPAPER will also support adding the path along with the desired
filename.  Be sure to place GPAPER.EXE in a directory that is in
your path so that you may execute it from any directory.  DO NOT add an
extension to the <converted filename> on the command line as GPAPER will
now add the correct extension.  When converting files and using the
'WC3','SYN' or 'PCB' code, GPaper will only create one (1) file with a ".BBS"
extension. Wildcat! 3.0 and PCBoard strip out the '@' codes and sends
MONO screens to ASCii callers and COLOR to ANSI callers.

    COLOR can be BLACK, RED, GREEN, YELLOW, CYAN, MAGENTA, BLUE. The
default is GREEN this parameter is  not case sensitive. If you want
green bars DO NOT enter GREEN on the command line.

    If you type GPAPER with no command line arguments, you will be
presented a short help screen.  Entering "GPAPER ABOUT" will present a
screen with the author and support information.

     You can now set and environment variable that GPaper will read and
add the correct file extensions to support your BBS.  The correct format
is  :  SET GPAPER=WC   Do not put a space before or after the '='.
Include this line in your autoexec.bat or in you maintenance bat file.
After running GPaper you can recover the environment space by adding the
line SET GPAPER=  at the close of the bat file.  The environment
variable must be capitalized for GPaper to pick it up.

@ECHO OFF
SET GPAPER=WC
GPAPER C:\WILDCAT\ACTIVITY.LOG   C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULL99 RED
SET GPAPER=
CAT.BAT

    This will read your activity.log and create BULL99.SCR and
BULL99.BBS with RED bars and place them in your bulletin directory.
