First!   DO NOT OVERWRITE your CATNEWS.CFG file!!!!


PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!!!

FIRST!!!

1)  PKZIP your CURRENT CATNEWS files including your .CFG FILE.

2)  DO NOT OVERITE your CATNEWS.CFG, but edit it and
    make Sure your EXISTING .CFG file has a LINE 5 with a INTEGER NUMBER
    on how many Newsletters you wish to keep the NEWSLTR.BBS Trimmed to.
    I have mine set at 3.   This is important.  THE Catnews! WCX program
    will never delete the entire Newsletter, but instead appends it and 
    saves only the number specified on line 5.  It is an AUTO-TRIM function.
    
3)  IF you are using Catnews as UNREGISTERED,  EDIT the .CFG file and
    Make sure Line 4 reads all zeros.... 00000000 or put 1 zero on this line.
    Remove any letters.

4)  Line 5 of the Catnews.CFG is the AUTOTRIM function number. 0 means
    Always delete the old news,  1 - means keep 1 newsletter, 2 - 2 newsltrs
    etc.. Up to 9999.  I use 3 for the latest 3 newsletters.

5)  Unzip and overwrite  ORDER.FRM,  CATNEWS.EXE and CATNEWS.HLP

    The ORDER.FRM NOW TAKES more information than previous ones.
    If you plan to register, Please use the current form.

Go into MakeMenu and add this CATNEWS.WCX to your SYSOP MENU.
Pick a Letter or a number to run the Newsletter Creator.
The Catnews! WCX will evoke the WILDCAT! Internal Editor and allow
you to edit a newsletter up to 150 lines.  When using the WCX
the Newsletter will dynamically change in Size. You wont get a FULL
screen Newsletter if you only put 6 lines of text in it. It will
give a 6 line newsletter.  The Catnews.WCX should work from REMOTE
as well as local.  I toyed with the idea of not clearing the screen
after each newsletter because sometimes you may have a small amount 
of news and not many lines on the newsletter, but my Beta testers and
some users thought it was annoying scrolling. Perhaps they were just
used to the full screen look. If you want to keep the full screen look,
just skip down to line 15 of the Full Screen Editor in CATNEWS.WCX then
save it. It will be the same size you are always used to.


The Advantages of using the WCX interface program????

Well, the biggest and best is the ability for wcCODE to call the WC! 
internal Editor to edit the file.  It gives ya the spell-check functions
and word wrapping function of the full screen editor.  The other big
advantage is that it is a wcCODE program which means you can create the
Newsletter from Remote if you needed too.  CATNEWS! WCX Calls CATNEWS.EXE
internally to create the Newsletter.  CATNEWS! .EXE still creates the news
and does all the work.  The WCX is just an interface between WC! and my 
Newsletter Creator.  If you dont' wish to be bothered with the WCX, you
can still SHELL TO DOS from WC! and create your newsletter with the
built-in editor inside of CATNEWS.EXE.  Either way....your choice.
