1.0 What is FLAG+?
========================================

FLAG+ is a replacement for PCBoard's internal directory listing prompt.  This
utility allows your callers to quickly and efficiently browse through large
file listings while selecting files for later downloading, viewing, etc. with
ease.


1.1 Disclaimer
========================================

This program and other files associated with it are not guaranteed to be bug
free or virus free.  We are not responsible for any damages of any kind,
including profit loses and data loss, that relate directly or indirectly to
these programs and files.  You may distribute this program, as long as it is
unmodified for with all the files originally included.

This program is SHAREWARE; meaning you have 30 days to evaluate it.  After
your trial period has expired, you are required to register it or completely
destroy it.  Please support the shareware concept to encourage authors to
continue writing programs and reducing the costs.


1.2 Quick Start
========================================

Run INSTALL.BAT [/M for multiport version of PCB]

Examples:  INSTALL.BAT   and   INSTALL.BAT /M

Notes:  All modified files (PCBTEXT and PREFILER.*) are backed up into the
        <FLAG+ directory>\BACKUP\ directory

        Prompt #549 in the PCBTEXT file is modified by INSTALL.


2.0 Configuration Editor - (FPCONFIG.PPE)
========================================

Starting with FLAG+ version 3.00, we've added a new configuration program
which should make configuring much simpler.  To execute it, run the
FPCONFIG.BAT file included.

For now, I won't explain the configuration editor since it already has
>>> ONLINE HELP <<<  for your convenience.


3.0 PREFILER.(Language Extension) Files
========================================

This file is displayed before the directory listing (RIPscrip), which creates
an interface for the caller to browse the files in.  To create your own file
interface you *MUST* use these specification:

     1.  A text window size 80x24
     2.  24 mouse regions 80x1 (one for each text line).
        A.  Mouse regions coordinates should be (1,y),(80,y+1).  For example:
            line 1 would begin at (1,1) and end at (80,2) of the TEXT WINDOW
            and line 15 would have coordinates (1,15) and (80,16).
        B.  When clicked on, the region *MUST* send the character value
            specified in FLAGPLUS.CFG, the line number, then enter. For
            Example (I used the "·" character to begin sending RIP coords):
            line 1 would send "·1^M" and line 15 would send "·15^M".
        C.  The character to begin sending mouse coordinates should be a
            uncommon character, such as "·" (ASCII# 250), so a caller won't
            by mistake press it and wonder why it won't respond to anything
            else (until enter is pressed).  If you decide to use a character
            such as "·", in the configuration file you should enter 250. In
            the RIPscrip editor, you'll need to use a temp character such
            as "$" since its easy to find and replace it with "·".  -Press
            ALT-250 to make ASCII character 250.

Suggestion:  Use a GRID, it makes it much easier and faster.  I recommend
             using RIPaint to draw these files.


4.0 Product Support and Upgrades
========================================

Both support and upgrade may be obtained from Reality's Edge BBS at

        REC:FLAG_PLUS     : FLAG+ Directory Listing utility
        REC:PRODUCTS      : Complete up-to-date product & FREQ listing


4.1 Registration and Upgrades
========================================

Since I spent a long time on this program, I'm asking $15.00 U.S. dollars to
encourage future program enhancements and to support my system.  All upgrade
for FLAG+ are and will be 100% free; if I end up changing the registration
sequence(s), you may obtain a new registration code directly from my board on
your first call.
