  WHAT IS IT?
 -=-=-=-=-=-=-

This was designed for the Sysop in mind but can be used for anything!
Ok Sysop, do you have a few display screens that are to be put in the SAME
SPOT? Like a few different main menu screens and a couple logoff screens,
but you want your users to see them all? This utility will "rotate" your
files around so that the user sees a different screen each time he is
logged on! And it will do this automatically!

   WHAT'S SO COOL ABOUT IT?
 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

SPiN-iT features:

* Rotation Of Up To 10 Files At A Time
* Unlimited # Of Sets to Rotate
* Quick Command-Line Usage
* Lets You Know If Rotation Was Successful
* Pretty Colors
* Microscopic $4 Registration Fee
* Full Program Support

   SETUP
 -=-=-=-=-


Put SPiN-iT in a separate directory of your choosing and edit the
config file SPIN-IT.CFG. It looks like this:

LINE  1: 0                             <-Registration Code
LINE  2: C:\TRIBBS\DISPLAY\LOGON2.ANS  <-Lines 2-11: files to rotate. Lines
LINE  3: C:\TRIBBS\DISPLAY\LOGON2.AN2    4-11 are optional, as you may have
LINE  4: C:\TRIBBS\DISPLAY\LOGON2.AN3    it rotate only 2 files if you wish.
LINE  5:                                 You MUST have Lines 2 & 3, as it
LINE  6:                                 takes at least 2 files to "rotate".
LINE  7:
LINE  8:                                 Make sure to put the full pathname
LINE  9:                                 for each of the files.
LINE 10:
LINE 11:

The program is run with this syntax: SPIN-IT.EXE <CONFIG FILE>

ex:   SPIN-IT.EXE SPIN-IT.CFG

If no config file is specified, it will default to SPIN-IT.CFG.
You have have as many config files as you like. Each config file
specifies the set of files to rotate, so essentially you can have
an unlimited number of sets.

If you're a sysop, a good place to have your BBS run this program
is right after a caller logs off. For TriBBS systems, that would
be in the BETWEEN.BAT file. Consult your BBS software's documentation.

   ERROR MESSAGES
 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

          error 53: A file you specified in the .CFG doesn't exist.

 "ONLY ONE FILE!!": You have only specified 1 file to rotate in the config.
                    Common sense should tell you that you need at least 2 
                    for the program to do anything.

"NO CONFIG FILE!!": No .CFG file found in the current directory.
