        This is just a quick little text file I threw in here to tell
you a little about myself...  My name is Steve Carlson, and I run a 
Spitfire BBS called The Far Side BBS in Whitehall Michigan.  I'm still
new to the BBSing arena; my BBS is only just going online now (Sept. 1993).
        One of the things that I like about Spitfire so much is the
recent addition (or at the time I'm writing this, its a future addition)
of RIP graphics.  I quickly obtained a copy of TombArt 1.01 from a local 
Spitfire Sysop (ok, here comes a plug!  Tim Suckow, Landing Approach BBS, 
616/744-0772), so I went to work on my RIP menus and displays so I could
have a jump on it when the new version of Spitfire was released!  I have
found editing the RIP files easy and actually fun!  Since I've been having
so much fun making RIPs, I've decided to take a second to ZIP some of the
ones I'm using (or variations of them) plus a few other etc. files into
one archive for other Sysops to see and to give others some ideas.  I hope 
you like them!
        While I understand nothing is stopping you, please consider either
altering the menus to your own unique flavor or re-do them slightly to
make them more original.  You don't have to, but users might get sick of
seeing the same menu popping up around town!  My BBS name and my own name 
are in each of the menus, but I suppose you can remove them with a text
editor...
        Once again, I hope you enjoy these menus!  I love doing RIP, so 
feel free to write me and maybe I'll find the time to do a request if
you'd like...  The Far Side BBS can be reached at 616/894-5909 (1 line). 
If you prefer SnailMail, my address is:

        Even if you don't have a request, drop me a line and let me 
know what you think of them...I may upload some more later!
