DISCLAIMER:  This program is distributed AS IS.  It is not guaranteed to work

I was thinking one day that it would be fun to toss bombs on people while in
chat, so I wrote NitroChat!  If you're like me, you'll have a blast!  Anyway,
I'm not much for writing documentation so here it is, short and sweet...

To initiate chat:
                        1) Go into PCBSETUP.
                        2) Press G then H.
                        3) Add this line to your favorite F-key.
                           !<drive>:\<directory>\NITRO.PPE SYSOP
                           Example:
                           C:\PCB\PPE\NITRO\NITRO.PPE SYSOP

To let people page you:
                        1) Go into PCBSETUP (Duh, right?)
                        2) PRESS B then B.
                        3) Drop down to CMD.LST and press F2
                        4) Add the command "O"
                           Under PPE/MMU File Specification enter
                           <drive>:\<directory>\NITRO.PPE
                           Example:
                           C:\PCB\PPE\NITRO\NITRO.PPE
                           NOTE: Do not put "SYSOP" at the end here.  The
                           command line parameter "SYSOP" makes NitroChat!
                           bypass the paging system, and you wouldn't want
                           users to do that.

While chatting (Keys marked with * only work when registered):

             INSERT = Bomb
          *  HOME = Pumpkin Bomb (Time delayed, real neat!)
          *  PAGE UP = Mine (You see the mine, but the user doesn't ;)
          *  DEL = Cluster Bomb (Multiple explosions!)
          *  PAGE DOWN = Nuke! (This one blows the user off-line!)
             CTRL-R = Redraw screen.
             CTRL-T = Tests borders.  Use this when configuring your
                      own custom screens.  The asterisks (*) show
                      the exact borders of the chat windows.  Simply
                      adjust the numbers in the configuration file to
                      change them.  EXAMPLE.CFG tells you everything
                      you need to know.


Registration:

Registration is only $15.  Not bad, eh?

Send check or money order to:

                           Glen Smith
                           P.O. Box 3226
                           Hot Springs, AR  71914

Make checks out to Glen Smith.

Oh, and I advise against sending cash through the mail because if you do
and it gets lost, I won't know you sent it and you won't know that I didn't
get it.  Got it? :)

Fill out the order blank, and send it with your check or money order.

Credit cards?  Well, I'm not set up to take 'em right now.  Maybe in the
future...

New Screens:
Adding you own screens is a breeze if you have registered NitroChat!  Just
add the new screen to your configuration file and use CTRL-T to test the
borders.  When the asterisks line up right, it'll work right.  Then all you
have to do is change the colors to suit your screen.  By the way, I have no
objection to you uploading your screens anywhere.  In fact, I encourage it!
If you think you have an awesome screen, upload it everywhere.  Just be sure
to tell what it's for :)!
