ColorSet v1.0 - Color configuration modifier for T.A.G. v2.7 and above
Author: Paul Deeds - (c) May 1994 - All Rights Reserved
PURPOSE: Allows your users to choose between multiple color sets.
~~~~~~~
SETUP
~~~~~
Colorset has two modes that are chosen with the first command line
argument. The first mode reads in a colorset from a text file and
writes it to the user of your choice. The second mode reads a colorset
from a user number of your choice and writes it to a text file.
What you should do is go into T.A.G. and create a color set that you
like through the personal data menu. When you've got it how you like it
shell to dos and call colorset like this:
COLORSET Colorset C:\BBS\GFILES 1 BLUE.SET
It will read your USER.LST located in C:\BBS\GFILES and write the
colorset of User #1 to a BLUE.SET in the current directory.
Create as many color sets as you want, then set up a menu, or some
commands on an already existing menu that allow your user to choose a
color set. Use Pkey: "<" and Pdata: "COLOR1.BAT", one command and one
batch file for each color set. You will need to create COLOR?.BAT files
in your main BBS directory (or each if you are running multinode). They
should look something like this:
COLORSET User C:\BBS\GFILES %3 BLUE.SET
| \----- Different for each batch file
|
\---- %3 is the current user number
and it will be filled in by T.A.G.
Your users can probably come up with some nice color sets as well.
Encourage them to experiment or hold a contest.
COLORSET FILES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The colorset files are 20 lines with a number between 0 and 255 on each
line. The first ten lines are the "Black and White" colors and the
second ten are the "Color" colors.
SUPPORT/QUESTIONS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you have any questions I can be reached in the T.A.G. echos on the
fidonet. I no longer operate a bulletin board system because I am living
in a dorm. This program is freeware, but being a college student I could
certainly use any money that you feel you can afford to donate to help
defer the costs of long distance distribution, computer upgrades,
programming software, etc. I am up to doing custom changes if there is
any feature you would like changed for you own use. This is my address:

I am a fairly regular caller on A*R*T*H*U*R, so you can drop me a message

OTHER T.A.G. UTILITIES BY ME
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CWHO10.ZIP - Allows you to view your USERON.BBS file and to view and
~~~~~~~~~~ modify the important fields of you r $WHO.DAT file,
including username, city/state, extended description,
baud rate, and the "available for chat" and "in group
chat" flags; all from the command line.
USAGE10.ZIP - Combines two or more USAGE.LOG files into a single file
~~~~~~~~~~~ for easier viewing on multi-node systems.
TRIMLOG.ZIP - Removes all "KB" logons from you CALLERS.LOG file. It
~~~~~~~~~~~ will not add any colors, or change the file in any
other way. This is good to run before NICELOG to
remove all those local logons that let users know you
are nearby despite what your chat flag might say.
NICELOG.ZIP - Converts your drab CALLERS.LOG file into an exciting
~~~~~~~~~~~ full screen ansi. It reads the last ## callers from
your CALLERS.LOG file, inverts their order, and places
them in an ansi screen of your design (or one of the
included models).
RUMOR20.ZIP - Converts T.A.G. v2.6 questionarre answer files to
~~~~~~~~~~~ T.A.G. v2.6 format quotation file and an attractive
user viewable file of all the quotes. This allows users
to quickly add to your rumor or quote file using built
in T.A.G. system commands.
DRUMOR10.ZIP - Allows users to remove quotes from the files created by
~~~~~~~~~~~~ RUMOR20.ZIP above.
TAGLIST7.ZIP - The first update to the Downloader's Guide to T.A.G.
~~~~~~~~~~~~ Utilities in 2 years. Completely redone.
Look for them on a T.A.G. Site near you. They should always be
available on A*R*T*H*U*R (1-810-740-8764).
