Revision 1.06 has added some new commands which as of this writing are of
interest only to Opus alpha, beta and gamma testers. In addition, MONITOR.EXE
is somewhat more advanced, albeit not yet modified for the new commands.
Monitor can be used in two ways now:
1. As a DOS filter, which is no change. Thus you can use redirection
and piping, as in:
oecc bulletin.oec | monitor
2. It can take its input from a file rather than just stdin. The file
name should be specified on the caommand line:
monitor bulletin.bbs
Please note that because of 1. you can still say:
monitor < bulletin.bbs
if you have any special desire to do so.
The new commands will be described here only briefly. Opus 1.10 is still in
its development stage, so these commands (or at least some of them may change).
Some other commands will probably not make any sense to anyone but me. I
included them thinking ahead of what currently exists.
[language] := ^oL - change default language
[color] := ^oE - what follows show only if ANSI/AVATAR
[endcolor] := ^oe - end of ANSI/AVATAR only
[tfile] := ^pT - show rest of file to twits and higher
[hfile] := ^pH - show rest of file to hidden and higher
[vfile] := ^p# - for future reference only
(Note: all of the similar commands can now be preceded by t, h and v, e.g.
[tline], [hline], [vline])
[tbelow] := ^pBT - show to twits and below (rest of line)
[dbelow] := ^pBD - show to disgrace and below
... ... etc for all levels ...
[sbelow] := ^pBS - show to sysop and below
[hbelow] := ^pBH - show to hidden and less
[vbelow] := ^pB# - for future reference only
[tequal] := ^pQT - show to twits only
...
[pequal] := ^pQP - show to privileged only
...
[vequal] := ^pQ# - reserved for future reference
[txclude] := ^pXT - show to all except twits
...
[exclude] := ^pXE - show to all except extra
...
[sxclude] := ^pXS - show to all but don't bother sysop
...
[vxclude] := ^pX# - reserved
The following codes are for possible future use only. They are not used by
any OEC as of this writing:
[hex] := %X
[decimal] := %d
[unsigned] := %u
[string] := %s
I have enclosed my own msgarea.oec (somewhat modified) to help you see what
it does. The beta and gamma testers can ask me questions in their appropriate
echos. Everyone else is welcome to discuss this with me in the BBOS echo.
PLEASE, DO NO LONGER SEND ME ANY QUESTIONS VIA NETMAIL. USE THE BBOS ECHO.
