Quick Graphics! An Express Script by Jason Brunken
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you ever wished that express had the 'online graphics options for FoReM?
With Quick-Graphics it can!
With the help of the 'Viewfile' program, QuickGraphics makes it EASY!!! to
install graphics screens.
Features:
1. View ANY file online.
2. MINIMAL script file changes
3. Defaults to 'TXT' if the graphics files don't exist...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
1. Copy 'CONNECT.COM', 'GRPHVIEW.COM', and 'CONNECT.TXT' into your
'MENU80' folder.
2. Copy 'G_PATHS.DAT' into the folder where you run your BBS from.
3. Copy all other files into a folder of your choice, I will call it 'GRAPHICS'
in this Documentation.
4. Edit G_PATHS.DAT to match your systems parameters.
Line 1: D:\ The Drive Express is run from
Line 2: D:\GRAPHICS\ The path to the 'QuickGraphics' files
Line 3: D:\BBS\MENU80\ The path to your MENU80 folder
5. Edit GCHOICES.DAT, This is the file that contains the types of graphics you
have online, it is VERY important that you follow the EXACT format...
The first line is a description for the graphics type, the second is the
extention that it will search for...
for Example
LINE 1: Ascii Text
2: TXT and continue further for aditional types...
3: ANSI Graphics
4: ANS
5: VT52 Color Graphics
6: VTC
and so on, NO BLANK LINES ANYWHERE!!!!
6. Copy any graphics files you wish to display into your MENU80 folder
You DO NOT have to have all the files done at once, it will default to files
with the ????????.TXT extention if ???????? with the extension the users
selected doesn't exist.
Make sure the extensions match what you entered in GCHOICES.DAT
7. Installing a menu... MAINMENU.SCR is an example, if this file is activated,
it will call QuickGraphics and view the MAINMENU with the extention that the
user secected if it exists.
Change the path to match your setup...
duplicate and rename this file for EVERY menu you with to use QuickGraphics
with...
for example... MSGEDIT.SCR
FILE = 'MSGEDIT'
or for BASEMENU
FILE = 'BASEMENU'
Compile the menu files into .COM's when you have it set up....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
final notes:
I'm sorry if these DOCS are hard to follow, Its the best I can do...
CONNECT.COM looks for a script called CONNECT2.COM after the user has made a
selection, if it exists, it will be executed.
CONNECT.TXT is an optional file...
I wanted to include all the files that came with VIEWFILE.TOS, but I
accidentally deleted the ARC file, my thanks to the Author...
Please leave any suggestions to me on my BBS, or to J.BRUNKEN on GEnie...
Thanks!!!
