These menus were created by Dan Dunn of the Atlanta Information Exchange,
using Ripaint v1.54. You may use these menus if you like, without any
cost or payment as I fully understand the extreme costs of keeping a
quality bbs system up and running and the great difficulty of getting the
users to get off their wallets and support our efforts.


On the other hand.......

If you find that these menus aren't quite what you need and would like
these modified or a set of custom menus built, I would be more than
happy to do custom work for a slight fee. As most of you know, the
cost for Ripaint is around $200 and I am still trying to justify
spending the money on a product that will be idle after the initial
menus and screens are built and in place on my system. If you feel this
way also, and cannot justify buying Ripaint, I am sure that we can work
with each other. I will provide quality menus and screens for a modest
fee and you will save the initial investment of $200 for Ripaint to be
spent on other, more important items for your bbs-(such as hardware)
(I also sell computer systems and hardware - discounts for Sysops of 
full time bbs systems)

If you feel the need for any of my services, I can be reached, usually
between 8:00am thru 5:00pm EST, in person by calling Abacus Systems at
(404)957-5778. If I am not in my office at the time of you call, the 
voice mail system will take the call and page me. The Atlanta Information
Exchage BBS system is online 24 hours a day, supporting 14,400 bps with a
Practical Peripherals 14400fxsa modem.


To sysops that need a little help with making these menus work.....
You will need to put these menus in place of your existing menus. These
were intentionaly named: main6.rip, file6.rip, and msg6.rip to prevent
somone unintentionally copying them into their menu subdirectory and 
overwriting their original menus. 

1. Your original menus must be removed and saved, or renamed. 
2. These new menus must be copied into your menu subdirectory and 
   renamed to your default names of the menus that you removed in the above 
   step 1.
