What you're missing =================== QRIP Junior is a great program--but look at what you're missing if you don't buy QRIP Pro, the big brother of QRIP Junior: Network/multitasker "RIP.SYS" mode! QRIP Pro can use any file-sharing system to communicate between two processes, one running QRIP Pro, and the other running a little TSR. This way is probably better than any true RIP.SYS mode, since it takes the load off the controlling process. TSR mode! QRIP/TSR can turn QRIP-compatible terminal programs into RIPscrip terminals, quickly and easily. QRIP/TSR comes with QRIP Pro. A file selection menu! Simply point-and-click to view RIP, icon, and ANSI files. Automatically switches to text mode if requested to do so. A scrollback buffer! Now you can simply press the up-arrow key to view the ANSI's that scroll too fast. Even works in graphics mode and in ANSI/RIP combination text windows. Saves up to about 1800 lines in text mode, 2-1/2 screens' worth in EGA graphics mode. The QRIP Pro menu system! Use those awesome RIP files as your system's main menus! With RIP graphics, the menus are totally customizable in _whatever_ way you want. Automatic message handling and security. QRIP Pro knows how to strip out all of the header and trailer junk from offline messages, and still keep the entire picture. This works even with ANSI, too! NO MORE EDITING BEFORE VIEWING! No other ANSI/RIP viewers do this. ANSI anti-strip mode: ESC character not required! QRIP Pro has a mode where it can view ANSI pictures that have been badly stripped by network software. ANSI artists, this is what you've been waiting for! 1stPlay and external multimedia support. *HOW* can you bear missing the incredible multimedia capabilities? With QRIP Pro and 1stPlay, you can make RIP files that play .CMF, .VOC, and .WAV files in the background. With QRIP Pro you can even create your own multimedia system! Quick-and-easy RIP slide shows. Use a simple COPY command and put a bunch of RIP's together -- Voila! A slide show! The ability to use DOS environment variables as RIP variables. A great feature for PCBoard and WildCat! sysops -- QRIP Pro lets you see what those @ variables will be replaced with. User-defineable picture explanation. QRIP Pro lets you put anything you want at the bottom of the screen while a picture is being displayed. A nice finishing touch for RIP artists. Many switchable options like extra speed, clearing at exit, text suppression, and multiple variable definition files. Make QRIP Pro do things the way _you_ want it to! QRIP Pro is THE ultimate in RIP viewers, in fact, QRIP Pro is: * 100% RIPscrip 1.54 compatible; * Fully beta tested by a team of RIP artists, ANSI enthusiasts, BBS sysops, OS beta testers, and programmers; * An _extended_ ANSI viewer with music and 100% complete text emulation in graphics; * A PCBoard and Wildcat! @ variable testing and viewing system; * A graphical and highly flexible DOS menu; * Full of more anti-hacking security features than QRIP Jr.; * Totally user-configurable; * And of course - compact and FAST! QRIP Pro and QRIP/TSR together cost $23.00 plus $2.00 for shipping and handling. Not only will you receive QRIP Pro and QRIP/TSR, you'll get: * A 286-optimized version of QRIP Pro & QRIP/TSR (for all 286 or better machines), * A huge collection of wonderful RIP art scenes, * Notification of further updates, * And announcements of other RIP products by the author.
