The TriBBS Bulletin Board System 53
NODOWN.ANS, and NODOWN.BBS. If the NOWDOWN.RIP/NODOWN.ANS/NODOWN.BBS
screens aren't available TriBBS will display an appropriate message.
Subscription Screens
--------------------
Whenever the caller's subscription has expired, TriBBs will display
the optional screens EXPIRED.RIP, EXPIRED.ANS, and EXPIRED.BBS. If
the EXPIRED.RIP/EXPIRED.ANS/EXPIRED.BBS screens aren't available,
TriBBS will display an appropriate message.
Unwanted Files Screen
---------------------
Whenever a caller attempts to upload a file that matches an unwanted
file name in DONTWANT.DAT, TriBBS will display the optional screens
DONTWANT.RIP, DONTWANT.ANS, and DONTWANT.BBS. If the
DONTWANT.RIP/DONTWANT.ANS/DONTWANT.BBS screens aren't available,
TriBBS will display an appropriate message.
RIPScrip Borders For ANSI and ASCII Screens
-------------------------------------------
Whenever the caller has RIPScrip graphics enabled and TriBBS can't
find a RIP version of a display screen, it will look for a file called
POSTRIP.RIP. If a POSTRIP.RIP screen is found, TriBBS will display
its contents before displaying the appropriate ANSI or ASCII version
of the display screen. POSTRIP.RIP is mainly used for drawing a
border around a text window for ANSI and ASCII display screens. This
can really add the finishing touch to a board that offers RIP screens
and menus, but doesn't want to have RIP versions of every display
screen.
Making Your Own Display Screens
-------------------------------
To make your own custom display screens, you'll need a good ANSI
screen editor. Perhaps one of the best is a shareware product called
TheDraw (available for download on The Lobster Buoy).
The best programs for creating RIPScrip graphics are RIPaint and
RIPDraw. Both are commercial programs and can be purchased through
TeleGrafix Communications, Inc., the creators of RIPScrip graphics.
