╙YSOP'S TREASURES IS A FILE CONTAINING 1 PROGRAM TITLE PER LINE (IN ALPHABETIC ORDER IS OPTIONAL, BUT PREFERRED) WITH NO OTHER WORDS ON THE SAME LINE. ╘HE DISK NUMBER MAY FOLLOW THE TITLE SO A USER CAN SEARCH FOR EVERYTHING ON THE DISK NUMBER BY ENTERING THE NUMBER. ╫E USED ╙UPERCAT TO CATALOG SOME DISKS TO USE IN THE ╙YSOP'S TREASURES. ╘HIS AREA CAN BE USED BY THE SYSOP TO LET HIS HIGHER LEVEL USERS EXAMINE A LISTING OF THE SYSOP'S LIBRARY FOR FUTURE DOWNLOAD PURPOSES, OR WITH A NAME CHANGE IT COULD BE A LIST OF NEEDED PROGRAMS BY THE SYSOP, IN HOPES PEOPLE WILL UPLOAD THEM. ╘HE MODIFICATIONS CAN SIMPLY BE HANDLED BY CHANGING THE CONTENTS OF THE FILE. ╚ERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF AN ACCEPTABLE FILE:
COMMTERM 3+ 026
LIBRARY 128 V1.1 030
MULTITERM 4.5 028
AND SO ON... ╘HE MISC FILE IS AN ┴╙├╔╔ FILE CONTAINING NUMBER OF CALLS TO THE BOARD, NUMBER OF USERS, LOW/HIGH MESSAGES, ╙YSOP'S HANDLE, ╙YSOP DEFAULTED TO ╔N OR ╧UT, ╠AST CALLER, AND NUMBER OF TEXT FILES.
╘HE FILE "─╥╔╓┼╙" CONTAINS ALL THE DRIVES THE SYSTEM WILL BE USING FOR DOWNLOAD AND UPLOAD DIRECTORIES. ╞OR EXAMPLE, HERE'S WHAT THE FIRST TWO LINES MIGHT LOOK LIKE:

╘HE ABOVE FILE SETS UP DOWNLOAD/UPLOAD DIRECTORY #1 WITH A TITLE OF ╘ERMINAL PROGRAMS AND A DEVICE NUMBER OF 9, AND DIRECTORY #2 WITH A TITLE OF ╒PLOADS TO THE SYSOP AND A DEVICE NUMBER OF 11.
╘HE FILE "╚═.├╥┼─╔╘╙" SETS UP HOW MANY CREDITS ONE GETS AT EACH SKILL LEVEL AND THE AMOUNT OF TIMES THEY CAN PLAY IT PER CALL. ┴ SAMPLE WOULD BE:

╒SEFULL HINTS AND TROUBLESHOOTING.
┴ ╙YSOP MIGHT CONSIDER IN ORDER TO SAVE USER'S FEELINGS, TO PUT HIS MOST PUBLIC MESSAGE BASES AND DIRECTORIES FIRST, HIS MEDIUM LEVEL SECOND, AND HIS PRIVATE ONES LAST, SO WHEN A PERSON IS LIMITED TO SEEING ONLY 3-5 MESSAGE BASES OR DIRECTORIES, THEY WON'T KNOW THAT ANY MORE EXIST BY NEVER SEEING BLANK BASES. ┴ND IT IS NEVER NECESSARY FOR THE ╙YSOP TO USER ALL MESSAGE BASES AND DIRECTORIES. ╞OR AN EXAMPLE, IF THE ╙YSOP WISHED ONLY 5 DIRECTORIES AND 5 MESSAGE BASES, HE CAN JUST ENTER A 0 TO #6- 10 TO EACH USER AND THAT WILL LIMIT EVERYBODY TO JUST 5. ╘HE COMBINATIONS AND POSSIBILITIES OF CONFIGURATIONS ARE COMPLETELY UP TO THE ╙YSOP. ╩UST BE SURE WHEN ENTERING A USER TO TYPE 0 FOR ANY UNUSED BOARDS.
╔F YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH USERS AND THE MESSAGE BASE, THEY USUALLY CAN BE TRACED TO YOUR "═╔╙├" FILE NOT BEING UP TO DATE ON NUMBER OF MESSAGES, LOW AND HIGH, ON THE DISK. ╘HE "═╔╙├" FILE HAS TO BE EXACT ABOUT THE NUMBER OF MESSAGES ON THE DISK, AND THEN WILL UPDATE ITSELF AUTOMATICALLY. ┴LMOST 100% OF PROBLEMS ON THE BOARD CAN BE TRACED TO IMPROPER SETUP AND HANDLING. ┬E SURE BEFORE YOU WRITE OR CALL (AND FEEL FREE TO DO THIS ANY TIME) CHECK AND DOUBLE CHECK YOUR SETUP AND FILES.
╘HIS BOARD IS STILL A BABY, BEING ONLY 9 MONTHS OLD FROM THE FIRST ENTRY ONTO DISK. ┴ND WE PLAN TO STAY WITH THIS FOR MANY MORE YEARS TO COME. ┴LSO, IN OUR UPCOMING VERSIONS WE WILL INCLUDE A LOWER LEVEL REMOTE SYSOP ACCESS FOR YOUR HIGHEST LEVEL USERS THAT WILL ENABLE THEM TO DOWNLOAD DIRECTLY FROM ANY DRIVE YOU HAVE UP WITHOUT HAVING TO GO THROUGH THE DIRECTORIES. ╘HEY STILL WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MODIFY YOUR DISKS IN ANY WAY. ╘HAT'S LEFT FOR THE REMOTE SYSOP AND SYSOP ONLY.

┴DDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS OVER 1.9 ARE INCORPORATED IN THIS VERSION 2.0╨─. ┴ PARTIAL LIST INCLUDES:

═ESSAGE BASE NOW SHOWS THE HIGHEST MESSAGE, LOWEST MESSAGE, LAST MESSAGE READ, AND AUTO-DELETES THE FIRST MESSAGE AFTER 40 MESSAGES ARE POSTED. ╘HE EMAIL IS DELETED AUTOMATICALLY AFTER A USER READS IT.
╔T IS NO LONGER NECESSARY TO HAVE MESSAGE 0 OR ANY FILE THAT IS NOT USED ON THE DISK, BUT DONT GIVE ACCESS TO THE FILE IF IT ISNT THERE, OTHERWISE THE DRIVE LIGHT WILL BLINK, BUT NO HARM IS DONE, JUST WAIT UNTILL ANOTHER FILE IS ACCESSED AND THE BLINKING WILL STOP.
