                        Revolving Door Software Canada       

                                   Present

                            "PLATNIUM PRELOG" Ver. 1.0

               A Prelog.WCX for use with Wildcat BBS Software
                    Versions 4.01, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.20  


    DISCLAIMER:  You use this code at your own risk, should you have a
                 problem with that, then, I suggest you DO NOT install 
                 this .WCX program.


    TESTING:     The product, if used as described, works flawlessly. I        
                 and several other SYSOP's have tested the HELL out of 
                 it and encountered NO problems.  So it should work very
                 well on YOUR system.


    AFTER UNZIPPING YOU SHOULD HAVE:


        INSTALL.TXT  ------------>  This File
        PREMENU.BBS  ------------>  A nice "Prelog" Menu
        SRPRELOG.CFG ------------>  Our "Prelog".CFG File   
        PRE420.WCX   ------------>  Executable Code for Ver. 4.20 Sysops
        PRE412.WCX   ------------>  Executable Code for Ver. 4.12 Sysops
        PRE411.WCX   ------------>  Executable Code for Ver. 4.11 Sysops
        PRE401.WCX   ------------>  Executable Code for Ver. 4.01 Sysops


    WHAT DOES THIS THING DO ?

    Like other Prelog.wcx programs, this one allows the caller on-line to
    perform several functions, prior to actually logging in to your BBS
    system.

    These are:
                         [L]      Login
                         [W]      Who's On-Line  
                         [D]      Download a File  
                         [G]      GoodBye / Don't Log in  



    WHY IS THIS THING SO GOOD ?

    Many .wcx authors riddle their "code" with all sorts of self promotion
    and advertising for their OWN systems, flashing other BBS Tel #'s in 
    your face, etc... or, even worse, building in ANNOYING delays that are 
    of NO value to you or your callers!

    This .wcx has NONE of the above mentioned grief associated with it, but
    should you decide to run it, please, send us a small donation as a TOKEN
    of your thanks <mailing address included - later>.

    Recap:

              "NO Delays, No Grief, No Demo Keys, No Self-Promotion"


    OK I'M SOLD! - HOW DO I INSTALL IT ?

    1)    From the .wcx's included with this archive, find the one that 
          matches the Ver. # of the Wildcat BBS Software you are using 
          and rename the appropriate file to PRELOG.WCX 

       (If you are using Ver. 4.10 of Wildcat, select the PRE401.WCX file). 


    2)    Copy your PRELOG.WCX file into your Wildcat Home Directory i.e:

                                    C:\WILDCAT

    3)    Copy or Move the SRPRELOG.CFG file to your Wildcat Home Directory   
          again, this is likely:   
   
                                    C:\WILDCAT  

          Do NOT rename this file as it is HARDCODED, and doing so will 
          defeat the purpose of installing this utility !
        
    4)    Copy or Move the PREMENU.BBS file into your DISPLAY directory.       

          In most cases, likely    C:\WILDCAT\DISP  

          Then EDIT the PREMENU.BBS file with WCDRAW to reflect your own
          BBS SYSTEM NAME, and DO NOT shorten, or alter the actual .BBS file
          beyond changing the system name, unless you have an excellent 
          working knowlwdge of WCDRAW.  Ok, I have warned you!.  

    
    5)    Edit the SRPRELOG.CFG file to reflect the name of the file you
          wish to make available to your callers, for download  i.e:
          a text file outlining your BBS and its features, BBSINFO.TXT

    **    Ensure the file you are providing to callers is small, i.e 
          can be downloaded at 2400 baud within 4 mins, as WILDCAT! only 
          allows callers 5 minutes of time in the "Prelog Envelope".

    6)    Lastly ensure that the filename you specify is located in your 
          Wildcat Home Directory.   Note:  The file you offer your callers
          MUST be in the Wildcat Home Directory or this will NOT WORK.


    IMPORTANT STUFF:

    This is a Donate-Ware product.  Feel free to use it on your BBS <after-
    all that is why it was developed> however, should you like it, or find 
    it useful to you or your callers then, please consider sending in a small 
    donation as a token of your appreciation of our HARD work and our most 
    excellent documentation skills :).
