   RCOLOR was written to simplify adding color to the file,
RIMECONF.TXT.  This file carries the name and descriptions of all the
conferences available in the RIME(Relay International Message Exchange).
Since this file is now over 100k in size, it is a chore to try and add
color by hand, and doesn't look too professional to make it all one
color.

    RCOLOR only requires one (1) switch on the command line.  That is
the name of the file thaT you would like to create.  However; you may
add a second switch or command that will tell RCOLOR what type BBS
system you are operating so that it will create the proper type file.
For instance if you were to use : RCOLOR C:\BULL\BULL99 WC3, RCOLOR
would create a file named BULL99.BBS and place it in the C:\BULL
directory.  The "WC3" switch tells RCOLOR that you are operating a
WILDCAT! 3.x system and that you need a file with a ".BBS" extension and
use the special WC! "@" codes.

EXAMPLE:  RCOLOR C:\WC30\BULL\BULL99  WC3  <-Wildcat! 3.x ".BBS"
          RCOLOR C:\WCAT\BULL\BULL99 WC2   <-Wildcat! 2.x ".SCR"
          RCOLOR C:\SF\BULL\BULL99 SF      <-Spitfire  ".CLR"
          RCOLOR C:\BBS\BULL\BULL99        <-Creates file with ".ANS"

IMPORTANT!:  The file that you are converting MUST be named
             RIMECONF.TXT.
