Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Run the INSTALL.EXE from a directory that includes the INSTALL.DAT.
 Follow the simple instructions to install to a directory. After The
 Installation, run "strings.exe /compile" to create a strings.txt.

The strings.txt
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  The Strings.txt created by strings.exe is a tool to make file request
  more configurable. This allows most strings in the door to be customized.
  Pipe codes can also be used in this file. A listing of codes and
  definitions is included the first time you run strings.exe. If you wish to
  change the strings, you must remember to compile them each time in order
  for then to appear. The command to compile is "strings.exe /compile"


The program

    This program should be very simple to setup, and can be very useful. To
    make things easier and more appealing, they ansi screens and strings
    included can be changed, or left.

     ansi displayed when the app is first executed.

  - filerbot.ans:
     ansi that displays the main menu.

    it secure, and let the sysop know what's going on.
