QuickBBS Magic Editor

Hi to you. I'm not very good in writing documentations and I
know that there is not many people who are going to read it so
it's going to be very short. For that reason, the program has
been made the simpliest possible so you can use it without
reading this documentation.

History

Every one of you know that there is a lot of User Editors
for QuickBBS but the problem with them is that you can not find
a program that permit you to edit every parameters in the
users.bbs files so, to correct that, I decide to made me one. I
have shown it to some guys and they encourage me to put this
program out for every sysop so here it is. I hope you will enjoy
it.

What is QME?

Qme is composed of two principal programe. First you have
a Users Editor that permit you to change all the parameters
found in the USERS.BBS file format found in the STRUCT.261 file
that comes with the QuickBBS program. The second part is a
little bit more specific. It's a Nodelist Editor. A Nodelist,
for the one who don't now what it is, is a list of BBS all
together in a network (like Fidonet). So, just for the fun of
doing it, I included this little program within my QME.

Using QME

I tried to make QME the most simple possible so every one
can use it without having to read a 50 pages doeumentation.
There is not a 100 pages help screens but, the way it is done,
every command are accessible on the main screen of the part of
the program you are using.

A little detail : to save records (Users ou Node) the
command is : [END]
