USAGE:
No business or commercial use of any kind may be made of Quick Titles
or of the screens it creates without purchase. You are licensed only

that you must purchase it for $25 U.S.+ $2.50 shipping, but note that
you get version 3.0 for that price, with color and extra fonts.

For a visual treat, run the file "runme.exe" and you'll see a brief
series of color slides produced by the beta version of Quick Titles 3.0,
which uses the extra fonts that have been added to QT 3.0. It'll give
you a good idea of just what Color Quick Titles 3.0 (the registered
version) can do. See "Why Buy" below about registration.

More documentation for Quick Titles is available with the paid version.
In the meantime, just start it and try it out; then come back and read
this (do remember to come back and read this!) So long as you remember
to hit F1 frequently, you'll have no problems. (Make sure QT.EXE,
QT.HLP, and DEMO.ORD are all in the PATH or current directory first!).

SPECIAL OFFER! If you are the first to upload ASCIFONT.ZIP, intact,
including all the files listed above, to any BBS system with 4,000+
active users before Dec 21, 1990, AND the sysop posts ASCIFONT.ZIP,
send us the details including the time and date uploaded, and we'll
send you a copy of Quick Titles 3.0 with color, new fonts, etc, for
only $5.00 including shipping. (See below about uploading.)

FAX users: if you've ever sent six words in an ascii file out as a FAX,
and wished you could send a FAX that looked a little less silly than
six little words stuck in the middle of the page; use Quick Titles to
create something with more impact...or just to create a letterhead
suitable for fax correspondence. Then hand the other internal FAX
users you know a copy of ASCIFONT.ZIP for their use.

Note that Quick Titles can be used to print up signs quickly: its
designs look VERY nice on a laser printer. In order to print signs on
a dot-matrix printer that doesn't support line-drawing characters you
may need "lineprt.zip" which comes with the paid version of QT.

Database Programmers - give your Character-based applications a more
professional look without going to a lot of trouble, with Quick Titles.
An impressive title screen gives your customers (or bosses) a good
first impression of your work. Certainly QT is cost-effective. You
will have to purchase Quick Titles before making any business use of
it, however.

If you appreciate Quick Titles, please do spread it around! We do
however require that you distribute by BBS only the intact ZIP file, as
you got it, including all of its files as listed above, and unaltered.

To make things easier for you: after uploading ASCIFONT.ZIP, rather
than typing out a descriptive message about it yourself, you can just
upload "bbsblurb.doc" (32 lines long) or "lilblurb.doc" (8 lines long)
(do this as an ASCII upload) into the message section of a BBS. Both of
these describe Quick Titles, have no lines longer than 69 characters,
have no blank lines, and are not embarassingly self-serving.

If a BBS can't show higher-order ASCII characters, or display
messages as long as 32 lines, use lilblurb.doc.

There are a lot of reasons to spend the money to "register" your
copy of Quick Titles:

- You get Quick Titles 3.0, with COLOR - glorious color, at your
fingertips, and many additional fonts that are Quite Different.
For a preview of what Quick Titles 3.0 can do, run the file
"runme.exe" and get a slideshow of color screens.

- It doesn't cost much: $25 U.S. plus $2.50 shipping and handling,
(plus $2 for 3 1/2 inch diskettes). For Canadians $30 plus $2.50
shipping (plus $2 for 3 1/2 inch diskettes). Canadians: price
includes any GST tax.

- You get "LINEPRT.ZIP", a utility that uses graphics mode to allow
even dot matrix printers that don't support line-drawing characters
to print out the files that Quick Titles creates.

- You get more documentation, including details to help you program
Quick Titles to display sequences of screens, like the QT
demonstration file "demo.ord".

- As has been said above, only by purchasing can you make ANY commercial
or business use of Quick Titles or the screens it creates.

- It's the right thing to do if you want to keep using QT: you'll ease
your conscience and you'll make more programs like this possible.

Convinced? Then why not order now?

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
