Simplex Carriage Return Line Feed QuOTe compiler
          ======= ======== ====== ==== ==== ===== ========


     SCRLFQOT is an alternative quote file compiler to SQUOTE.
     The program was written for one reason:  I prefer multi-line
     quotes, but most text editors limit the length of a line.
     The Simplex BBS program permits quotes as long as 512 bytes
     each, but practically, line lengths limited to less than this
     by most editors.  Hence one can't get the maximum effect.

     SCRLFQOT works a little differently from SQUOTE.  Elements
     of a single quote can span more than one line.  Quotes are
     separated by a blank line, which is really nothing more than
     `CR+LF+CR+LF', or 0D0A0D0A hex.  Your quote file MUST end
     with the extension `Q'.  SAMPLE.Q is a valid name.  SCRLFQOT
     will generate the file  SAMPLE.CQ  which you should place in
     the directory where your screen files are kept.  Refer to
     the Simplex docs on how to use quotes in your BBS.  This
     implementation will process up to 4,096 separate multiline
     quotes.

     To run simply type the name of the program, type a space,
     followed by the name of your quote file and press the ENTER
     key.  For example:

                   SCRLFQOT DAYQUOTE.Q {ENTER}

     The program expects the following in your text quote file:
     (1)  Your first line must contain text.  You can't begin
          with a blank line.
     (2)  You can have more than one line in a quote.  All quotes
          are separated by ONE and ONLY ONE blank line.  You can
          generate a blank line by hitting {ENTER} twice.  More
          than one blank line delineators will cause an error
          condition, and will cause the pointers in the CQ file
          to compile incorrectly.  If there is interest, I'll add
          more error checking in future versions.
     (3)  The quote file MUST end with a blank line.
     (4)  A series of lines in one quote can't exceed 512 bytes
          in the current version of Simplex (1.04.02).  Each
          character, space, and tab is one byte.  Each {ENTER}
          counts as 2 bytes (CR & LF).  Chris Laforet will change
          this limit if there is SysOp interest.  Let him know.
     (5)  The current version of Simplex has built in word
          wrapping.  This means you will have to juggle the
          position of some of your text within a quote if it
          exceeds a single line.  If this causes problems, let
          Chris know.  Currently nothing is written in concrete.
          There is nothing this program does to check positioning
          and quote length.  It's your job.
