          Logo Inserter 1.00                             Introduction
          

          Welcome to Logo Inserter.

          What is Logo Inserter?

               Logo Inserter allows you to insert your BBS logo in any ZIP
               or ARJ file, before the user downloads the file.  This means
               that you no longer need to insert your BBS logo in the file
               the moment it is uploaded.  On my 100MByte partition, I
               removed the logos from  the files (about 1000 or so) and
               recovered 3.4MBytes of disk space.  This figure can increase
               dramatically as the number of files increases.  Of course
               small files are the worst offenders.

               Logo Inserter's main task however is to assure that people
               who use CD-Rom's do not get the annoying CDR101: errors. 
               These errors occur when two or more nodes try to read
               information on the CD.  If two users are downloading files
               from the CD, the chances of this error occuring are high. 
               Logo Inserter will copy the necessary files from the CD to
               the temporary drive, thus eliminating the possibilities of
               such errors.  

          What makes Logo Inserter better?

               Logo Inserter is not the only program to perform the above
               tasks.  It does however it's job, much better than the
               others.  There's no frills such as fancy colored local
               screens, as the sysop isn't the one constantly looking at
               the monitor.  Instead, messages are sent to the user,
               informing them of LI's progress, and ensuring that in the
               case of a big batch transfer, the user does not think that
               the system has crashed.  LI does not limit itself only to
               ZIP files, opting to perform comment insertions to ARJ's as
               well.  As more formats support the comment feature LI will
               grow to incorporate them.          Logo Inserter 1.00                             Hardware  
          

          Logo Inserter is a small program and requires very little memory. 
          It works perfectly in a DV window of 425+K.  If you have less
          memory than that, Logo Inserter will work, but your ARJ files
          will not be commented.

          The hardware for Logo Inserter is minimal and therefore not worth
          mentionning.  

          Logo Inserter will work with any BBS package that has the ability
          of using external protocols.
                         Logo Inserter 1.00                             Installation
          


          Logo Inserter should take no more than a couple of minutes to set
          up.  Once the initial setup is complete you may never have to
          play around with it again.  Following then are the basic steps
          you will need to follow to get things running.

            1- Unzip LOGOIN1.ZIP in the root directory of your BBS. We'll
               assume that your root directory is C:\PCB.

            2- You will then need to edit the configuration file.  This
               file consists of 6 lines which are as follows:

                1-  Your BBS's Name.
                2-  Your registration number.  If your copy is unregistered
                    enter 000000.
                3-  Your work path.  This is work the packers will do their
                    work.  A Ram disk is recommended.  You can write the
                    path with or without the trailing backslash.
                4-  Location and name of your Comment file.  Must be
                    specified.
                5-  The location where you wish to have Logo Insert place
                    the LOGOx files.  Your root directory is the best
                    place.  These files are used by the external protocol,
                    to find the new location of the files to be downloaded.
                6-  Directory where the files to be downloaded are moved
                    to.  Do not make this directory name bigger than 7
                    characters, as Logo Inserter will insert the Node
                    number at the end of the name.  (9 character
                    directories are not allowed in DOS).

            3- Several directories must now be created, depending on the
               number of nodes that your system has.  Using line 6 of the
               configuration file, create the specified directory, for each
               node.

               Example:  line 6-->d:\LOGO   
                         If you have a 3 node system, create the following
                         directories:
                           LOGO1
                           LOGO2
                           LOGO3

               If you have only a one node, then create only LOGO1.
          Logo Inserter 1.00                             Batch Files
          

            4- You must now alter your batch files to call Logo Inserter
               before calling your protocol.

          Example of your old PCBSZ.BAT file:

            if exist pcberr.fil del pcberr.fil
            if exist pcbdsz.log del pcbdsz.log
            DSZ handshake both pB4096 z sz -m %3

          Example of the new PCBSZ.BAT file:

            if exist pcberr.fil del pcberr.fil
            if exist pcbdsz.log del pcbdsz.log
            LOGOINS C:\PCB\LOGOINS.CFG %3
            DSZ handshake both pB4096 z sz -m %3
            DEL C:\PCB\LOGO%NODE%   <--Delete list of files
            If exist c:\LOGO%NODE%\*.zip DEL C:\LOGO%NODE%\*.ZIP
            If exist c:\LOGO%NODE%\*.arj DEL C:\LOGO%NODE%\*.arj

               Be aware that Logo Inserter will move ALL the files to be
               downloaded, in the temporary directory.  

               The same thing can be done to the remaining external
               protocols that you may have added.  

        NOTE:  Both ARJ and PKZIP must be in your path.  

            5- Environment Variables.

               Two environment variables must be set, for the proper
               operation of Logo Inserter.  They are NODE and DSZPORT.

               If you have only one node, define NODE as 1.  This can be
               set through your batch file as SET NODE=1.

               DSZPORT should already be defined on your system, especially
               if you are running more than 1 node.  If you are running
               only one node, define DSZPORT as SET DSZPORT=X where X is
               the COM port number of your modem.  If DSZPORT is not
               defined Logo Inserter will assume that you are running in
               local mode, and will not inform the user of it's progress. 
               The unregistered version will also delay it's operations by
               20 seconds if DSZPORT is 0.  The current version of Logo
               Inserter supports COM 1,2,3 and 4.  If you have non-standard
               com ports, please let me know, and I will incorporate them
               into the next version.


               CONGRATULATIONS!  You are now fully setup for Logo Inserter. 
               You may wish to do a few local trial runs, (to verify that
               all your parameters are correct), or even call your board to
               see it's operation.  
             Logo Inserter 1.00                      Questions & Answers
          

          Q:   When Logo Inserter is run, it copies the files real quickly,
               but the external protocol terminates without transferring
               them.
          A:   Check the directory where your files are to be placed.  It
               either doesn't exist or it's mispelled.  Logo Inserter is
               not copying the files, but rather skipping over them as it
               cannot find the destination directory.

          Q:   Logo Inserter doesn't move the files.  It loads up and just
               terminates.
          A:   You have defined the wrong Com port.  Logo Inserter monitors
               the com port and if the user drops carrier will abort it's
               processes.  If you define the wrong com port, there is no
               carrier and Logo Inserter terminates immediately.
