                                BACKGROUND
                
                I got this idea by looking at other boards, reading and 
        using other freeware, and teaching myself a little about templates 
        in ROBOBoard/FX.  ROBOBoard/FX provides an excellent platform to
        provide classified advertising.  Even display advertising, but 
        that's another set-up enhancement (hint, hint).  I wrote the 
        following files to make it easier to place and read these ads.


                                  SET-UP

                 The contents of the archive are as follows:

                               ADS-SET.ZIP 
                               
                               contains...

        GRAPHICS.ZIP -  All files to be placed in the 
                        C:\ROBOFX\ENGLISH\GRAPHICS directory.
        
        TEMPLATE.ZIP -  All files to be placed in the 
                        C:\ROBOFX\ENGLISH\TEMPLATE directory.
        
        ICONS.ZIP    -  The classified icon file to be placed in the
                        C:\ROBOFX\FXDRAW\ICONS directory.
        
        MENUS.ZIP    -  All menus to be placed in the
                        C:\ROBOFX\ENGLISH\MENUS directory.
        
        README.TXT   -  This text file.

        GO.BAT       -  The batch program to print README.TXT.

        CALLTHIS.BBS -  My BBS ad.
        
                After you place these files in the directories as 
        specified, all you really have to do is alter one of your
        menus to point to the new menus.  
        
        1)      In my BBS, I have a choice for classified ads on 
                my 'MAIN' menu.  You can use any letter or icon that
                suits you.  The user can choose that and then...
                
        2)      From there the user goes to the 'CLAS-INT' menu.  
                From there the user can choose to either read or
                write ads.  If he chooses to read, he goes to the
                'CLAS-REA' menu.  If he chooses to write, he goes
                to the 'CLAS-WRI' menu.  You'll see that the later 
                two of the three menus are practically the same with 
                the exception of where they lead the user.

                From there, the system takes care of itself.  All
        of the classified text files created are put in the 
        C:\ROBOFX\ENGLISH\GRAPHICS directory.  You can change where 
        these files go, but I wouldn't try it before you understand
        how the templates work.  To do so, you would have to change 
        every template.  Like I mentioned, the classified ads will be 
        text files.  As such, they must be maintained.  How often is 
        up to you.  They grow larger with time.  I clean mine about 
        once a month, or when a user requests an ad be removed, 
        whichever comes first.

                
                Thanks again!  Spread the file around!  L8tr!
