Unquote displays a quote chosen from many thousands at startup. There is
nothing to configure (unless you want to use ResEdit - see below), so
just toss it on your system folder and see something useful during that
startup delay - not to say that startup screens can not be tasty.
If you can use ResEdit, here are some tips:
There are ca. 1000 German quotes you may want to remove if you don't
speak the Kraut language - most of you probably don't. To do so, just
remove the "STR#" resources whose names begin with "D" (for Deutsch).
Check out the QPOS resource. It determines where the quote is displayed
and how the text grows. There are comments in the resource itself on how
to use it. There are only three fields, so you can not muck much up.
V1.3: You can now set the sequential flag in the QPOS resource to have GQ
display quotes sequentially instead of randomly. Although the randomness
has improved in V1.3 as well.
V1.4: GQ now searches your System Folder for "StartupScreen N" where in
is a digit 0 to 9. If it finds a PICT or PICT resource in these files,
they will be drawn on the respective monitors.
V1.5 Unquote now has a 'QFNT' resource that allows you to set the text
font, style and size of the quote.
Unquote is FreeWare and may be distributed any how and anywhere as long
as this document accompanies it.
