About WinQuote

Register

Configuration

INSTALLATION:
Put all files (WinQuote.exe, WinQuote.dat, WinQuote.hlp) in the same directory.
Then add the program to the STARTUP group.  That's it!

When you start Windows the program launches and chooses a different quote, joke, idea, note etc... each time it runs.  Then unloads itself from memory.  The program is a stay-on-top form so, if you load more than one program at startup it should always be visible.

NOTE: The UnRegistered program will not allow you to change the Face, Frame color, Time, Mode or read the data file. The UnRegistered program only displays 10 quotes/jokes.

OPTIONS:
Face: Is the bitmap that appears in the dialog.  There are currently 23 faces to choose from.

Frame Color: You can select the frame color that appears in the dialog.

Time: You can select a time in seconds that will be used when the program runs. Note: Longer quotes/jokes etc... may require a longer time to view.  The time range is 3 to 60 seconds.

Mode:  You can cycle through the Faces And/Or the Frame colors.

Read Jokes, Quotes etc... from data file:  Is disabled in UnRegistered program. The data file comes with Jokes/Quotes/Lyrics etc... but more can be added or you can replace the ones you don't want with any text editor.  Make sure any changes made are always saved as plain text (you can always use NotePad).  Maximum text length is 255 characters.

•	NOTE:  When adding data to the file, enter the line as: 50=.  Notice that there is no space between the number and the = sign. The number 50 is being used as an example.  Make sure that the lines are numbered correctly.  If for example you have line 78, then line 80 (79 is missing) the program will report a FILE ERROR.  So, make sure they are numbered correctly.  There are records in the initial file so, you can use it as an example.

•	There are 2 entries in the WinQuote.Dat file you should be aware of: r and c.  r = the record to read when the program runs, c = the total number of records and should be equal to the last record in the file.  Each line is in numeric order from 1 to ? whatever number.  As lines are added remember to make "c" equal to the last record.

•	If you have lines that are longer than 255 characters, the extra characters will be truncated.
No error will be displayed.

•	You might want to make a copy of your WinQuote.Dat file just in case you have a hardware (i.e., hard drive crash) or software problem (i.e., virus etc...).

The REGISTERED version will remove all of these limitations.  Registration is only $15.  When the check or money order is received you will get your serial number the same day.
