WHAT IS QMAKER?
QMaker v3.2 creates 2 files, called QUOTE.ASC and QUOTE.ANS which are then
copied to the proper PATH\FILENAMES needed to be displayed by your BBS. You
will find that the program is easy to use, and if you wanted QUOTES on your BBS
without a hassle, then that's exactly what you have here.
Thanks for purchasing this product from Majestic Shareware!
WHAT IS MAJESTIC SHAREWARE?
Majestic Shareware is myself and friends on occasion who create software that
is either SHAREWARE or PUBLIC DOMAIN.
FILE CONTENTS
QMAKER.EXE This is the main executable file. This file will be placed in a
directory called C:\RA\QUOTE\
QMAKER.DOC You are reading it now.
QUOTES.TXT The file containing all the quotes.
QUOTE.BAT The BATCH file which will call the QMAKER program. This will be
placed in your C:\RA\ directory so you can call it with a type
7 door C:\COMMAND.COM /C QUOTE.BAT
QMAKER.CFG This file contains two numbers which are the FOREGROUND and the
BACKGROUND colors used to create the QUOTE.ANS file.
INSTALL.BAT This batch file will create the C:\RA\QUOTE\ directory and copy
files there, and to your C:\RA\ directory.
THE "QUOTE.BAT" FILE
CD C:\RA\QUOTE <--Change to the QUOTE directory
QMAKER.EXE <--Execute Qmaker v1.0
COPY QUOTE.ASC C:\RA\TEXT\ONCEONLY.ASC <--Copy the created QUOTE.ASC file to
COPY QUOTE.ANS C:\RA\TEXT\ONCEONLY.ANS the TEXT directory as ONCEONLY.ASC
you can change this to something
else if you like, or if the PATHS
don't match.
CD C:\RA\ <--Change back to the main BBS DIR
THE "QUOTES.TXT" FILE
Line 1 of this file will hold the NUMBER OF QUOTES contained in the file. Here
is an example of this.
3
Quote 1
Quote 2
Third Quote
Any text you want to place
To count the number of QUOTES find out how many lines long the QUOTES.TXT file
is and subtract 1. Don't try to count them by cursoring down the screen. If you
aren't using a text editor with X,Y coordinates then get a better editor. Make
sure the last line isn't blank in the file. If it is, then subtract 2 to know
how many quotes are in your file.
TROUBLE SHOOTING QMAKER v3.2
PROBLEM : The QUOTES are not being created.
SOLUTION: Make sure the PATHS in the "QUOTE.BAT" file are correct.
Make sure your BBS is in a directory called C:\RA\
PROBLEM : The PATHS that are used in the BATCH files for QMAKER do not match
the PATHS of my system.
SOLUTION: You may modify the paths in your batch file as you see fit.
PROBLEM : QMAKER is not executing for me.
SOLUTION: Make sure you set up the MENU COMMAND which invokes QUOTE.BAT
correctly. Refer to your BBS documentation for more info on this.
PROBLEM : QMAKER is outputting a real strange QUOTE.ANS file.
SOLUTION: Make sure the TWO numbers in the QMAKER.CFG file are between the
range of 1 and 15.
