Who's On 1.00
Copyright(c) 1993, Erik Likvarn. All rights reserved.
Introduction:
WhosON displays a list of callers in the various nodes of a multi-line
Opus 1.7x BBS.
Its output is a little nicer than the built in "Who's On" function.
This is mainly because:
It displays the nodes in numeric order rather than directory order.
It displays whether the users have block chat enabled.
It displayed the amount if time the users have remaining.
Usage:
WhosOn -tn -hn -ln -sd:\dir\ -od:\dir\filename.ext
-t = Task number of calling task (in hex)
-h = Task number of highest task to be listed (in hex)
-l = Task number of lowest task to be listed (in hex)
-s = Directory where Active##.Dat and Lastus##.Dat are
-o = Name of *.Bbs file to write output to
NOTE: Inserting one or two #'s into the output filename will result
in them begin replaced by a one or two digit task number.
WhosOn will look for the Active##.Dat files in your status directory,
and for any it finds, it will get the user information out of the
corresponding Lastus##.Dat.
For nodes which are not currently active, it will display that the node
is waiting for a caller.
WhosOn does no serial output of its own. It simply creates A *.BBS
files which you display from and OEC file. Heres a sample of mine
below:
[cls]
[dos]whoson -t## -h04 -l01 -sc:\opus1\status -oc:\opus1\misc\whos##.bbs
[call]c:\opus1\misc\whos##
Its all pretty straight forward really.
I really only wrote this becuase I was unhappy with the way Opus
displays this information. Maybe some of you guys are unhappy as well,
I hope this cheers you all up :-)
See Ya,
Erik
