  Hi fellows !
  
  It was long time promised and here it comes *at last* : the UCM mini shell or 
the follow up to my  Article  Construction Kit as I call it :) Indeed  my small 
tutorial will still beó neededð as this shell should only allow you to check your 
article and modify it if needed. You will also be able to have a direct preview 
of the font, colors or pictures added to your article ! 

  You'll also find enclosed the  update to my  Article Construction Kit. Please 
read it carefully.
  
ñ-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  First of all,ò *NEVER*ð remove or rename  the files  included in this mini shell 
folder ! Without one of  them the shell  should crash ! Here is the list of the 
files you should find in this package :    

ò  1.TAO (first chip, tao's format)
ò  2.TRI
ò  2.TVS (second chip, ssd format)
ò  3.TRI
ò  3.TVS (third chip, ssd format)
ò  AUTOPLAY.MOD (Falcon module)
  
ó  STARTPIC.PI1 (cover pic)
ó  MENU_GFX.PI1 (shell gfx and font)
ó  MENUTEXT.TXT (this page :)
ó  HELPTEXT.TXT (help and shell credits)
ó  SHELL.PRG (guess what :)

   Though the shell gfx (to be used by willing gfxmen :) looks rough, it is 
   fully functional as long as all files can be found.

ò   Steps to the testing of an article
   
   1. Report to my Article Tutorial which is also included in this archive to 
   know how you can add colors, headlines and pictures
   
   2. Save your file as test.txt and make sure it is in òTHISð folder
   
   3. Run the shell and click on the test line, that's it !!!

ñ   THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE MENU LINK
   
   Though it doesn't appear when  you run the  shell.prg, there is  of course an 
instruction set in the "test  zone" that indicates the  name and location of the 
article to be loaded. You can  easily  identify a  link as  your  cursor changes 
shape to a "target". Thinking it would be  easier for you, I have labelled it as 
test.txt but If you want  to test several articles at once you can easily change 
the menu content.  
   
   1. Add as many menu lines as needed, eg :
      first test ........................
      second test .......................
      etc.
      
   2. the instruction to load your text appears after the 80th column of your 
   line, that's why you cannot see it on your screen (you can check that with 
   any word processor). Unfortunately this instruction cannot be seen here as 
   it is ódirectlyð translated into a UCM command. I suggest you simply run any 
   word processor, have a look at the "click here to  view your article" line 
   ó(after  column 80 !!)ð and  change the  filename. Never forget  the opening 
   bracket and other elements ! 
   
      first test ...................>> after column 80 >> test 1 name
      second test ..................>> after column 80 >> test 2 name
      etc.
      
   3. If you followed step 1 and 2 carefully, it should work fine :) but 
   remember to place the loading instruction after the 80th column please.
