CONFIGURATION: Using your favorite Text Editor edit the file named ADDBOOK.CFG Line 1 = Your Registration Code Line 2 = Anything that you need to put before the users name For example, if you just got the internet then you probably don't have a registered domain name yet. So to get E-mail you need to put something before the name. In my case it was: realm! until my domain name got registered. If there is nothing to put just leave this field blank! Line 3 = Your domain name (the stuff that follows the users name) In my case it is: @delirium.com NOTE: You need to supply the @ Line 4 = Color code for Text (requires registration) Line 5 = Color code for the box (requires registration) Line 6 = Color code for all of the function keys (ie: D,A,Q,H etc) (requires registration) Line 7 = Color code for Users Name in the book (requires registration) Line 8 = Color code for Users Internet Address in the book (requires registration) Line 9 = Your conference number for Internet E-Mail Line 10 = The Maximum number of address you will allow a user to have in their book. Has to be atleast 5 and no more than 1000 Line 11 = The full path to your data directory Line 12 = A single character you would like to replace any spaces with For example, if you put a * (asterick) on the line then John Doe would look like john*doe REGISTRATION: As with all the software I write the registration fee for this is very affordable. If you would like to register please fill out REGISTER.FRM included in this .zip file and send along the registration price of $10.00! Why register? Well you will be able to configure the colors of the program completely. Also, it will enable me to spend the time making more software. And it keeps my family fed . Plus it will give you a free year of access on my system (large PPE download area) and FREE UPGRADES on any versions released after your registration date by calling The Realm of Delirium BBS or by requesting the upgrade version through the INTERNET. And the most important reason is you will sleep 100% better than ever before and it will cure you of your sins. (I recently had a talk with the BIG guy ) SUPPORT: It has come to my attention that there have been a few of you that are wondering about my credibiltiy as a programmer since I didn't have my real name in the documentations.
