    There is no warrenty and I take no responsibility for anything
that might happen as a result of using this program. Ok, so now that
I've got that out of the way, I'm pretty sure that it won't harm your
computer or disk drives in any way. To be sure, back up your Qecho.ctl
file(s) before using it.

    Qecho Manager is the first attempt at making Qecho a little more
friendly to the new sysop and also to help you maintain/edit your
control file. Qe_ctl.exe is part one of two. I am working on Ar_bbs.exe
and it will complete the set.

    Qe_ctl has only one commandline parameter, /M. If you are running a
monochrome monitor, type Qe_ctl /M at the DOS prompt. If you are using
a color monitor, just type Qe_ctl.

Limitations.

    It only handles 10 qecho.ctl files (I may up it to 15 if someone
wants it).

    It only handles up to 60 packer statments. I really don't see for
any more than that and Qecho 2.75 will have a default statement so there
should be no reason in the future to have a lot of statements.

    It doesn't support arc/unarc. That's what the packer statement's for.
Maybe I'm being a little bold but...

    It doesn't support Qecho 2.75 but will in the next release.

Features, etc.

    You can navigate through the menus using the up, down, home, end,
page up and page down keys. When editing a field, you can use the insert
and delete keys (as well as home and end). There are help screens that
describe the qecho.ctl statements.

    I tried to make it as simple to use as possible and so this is about
it for documents. If you really need more documents, please let me know
and I'll whip up more detailed instructions.

Future plans

1 - Adding Qecho 2.75 support.
2 - Bug fixes.
3 - Streamlining of the code.
4 - Whatever features that people want.

Bug Reports.

    Send any bug reports to the address listed below. Please list the
bug in detail. I'll work on it as soon as I get it, but I won't release
the fix right away (unless of course, it coincides).

Registration.

    Ok, seeing how only one person has registered REORA/REOQB, I expect
the same overwhelming response. Maybe I'm wrong, prove it. I haven't
crippled it in any way and it won't flash a "Register me" message to
your, so please take that into consideration. I think that what I am
asking for is a pittance and considering that it will also good for
Ar_bbs when it becomes available, it's not a bad deal.

    If you like the program, please send me at least $5 and I'll be happy.
If enough people register, I'll release v1.1 which will work with Qecho 2.75.
