(╘HIS IS A MORE DETAILED EXPLANATION OF ROOM CREATION AND ACCESS THAN IS WRITTEN IN THE DOCUMENTATION.)
╧NE OF THE ─╘╩-┬┬╙'S BIGGEST FEATURES IS ON-LINE ROOM CREATION. ╫ITH MOST ┬┬╙ SYSTEMS, MESSAGE BASES HAVE TO BE CREATED OFF-LINE WHEN THE SYSTEM IS CONFIGURED. ┬UT CREATING NEW ROOMS WITH ─╘╩ IS A SNAP!
╔N ORDER TO BE ABLE TO CREATE A ROOM, A USER MUST HAVE "CREATE" ACCESS (I.E. AT LEAST ONE CHARACTER IN THE USER'S ACCESS CODE MUST BE "├" OR "╙").
╫HEN THE [╟]OTO COMMAND IS SELECTED AND A ROOM NAME IS ENTERED, THE ┬┬╙ WILL FIRST SEARCH THE EXISTING ROOMS TO SEE IF THERE IS A MATCH. ╔F THE ROOM EXISTS, THEN THE USER IS PLACED IN THAT ROOM.
╔F THE ROOM DOES NOT EXIST, THEN THE ┬┬╙ SEARCHES FOR A ╙╔╟ NAME THAT MATCHES. ╔F IT DOES MATCH, THEN THE USER IS PLACED IN THE FIRST ROOM THAT BELONGS TO THAT ╙╔╟.
╔F THERE ARE NO ROOMS OR ╙╔╟S THAT MATCH, THEN THE ┬┬╙ DISPLAYS THE MESSAGE "╥OOMNAME NOT FOUND".
┴T THIS POINT, IF THE USER DOES NOT HAVE CREATE ACCESS, THEN THE USER IS RETURNED TO THE ├╧══┴╬─ PROMPT.
╧THERWISE, THE ┬┬╙ WILL ASK THE USER IF THE ROOM SHOULD BE CREATED. ┴NSWERING "┘" FOR YES WILL CREATE THE ROOM.
╘HERE ARE SOME CONDITIONS WHERE THE ┬┬╙ WILL NOT CREATE THE ROOM, EVEN WHEN THE USER HAS CREATE ACCESS:
* ó╘HE ROOM ALREADY EXISTS, BUT IN A ╙╔╟ THAT THE USER DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO.└
* ó┴LL 50 ROOMS ARE IN USE.
* ó╘HE ├╥┼ SWITCH IS OFF.
╘HE ┬┬╙ WILL DISPLAY THE MESSAGE "╥OOMNAME NOT FOUND" AND RETURN TO THE ├╧══┴╬─ PROMPT. ╔F YOU ARE TRYING TO CREATE A ROOM AND THE ┬┬╙ WILL NOT LET YOU, CHECK FOR ONE OF THE ABOVE CONDITIONS.
╝-----------
╫HEN A USER CREATES A ROOM, THE ROOM IS ASSIGNED TO THE ╙╔╟ THAT THE USER HAS CREATE ACCESS TO.
╙O, IF THE USER HAS CREATE ACCESS TO THE SECOND ╙╔╟, AND HE CREATES A ROOM WHILE IN THE THIRD ╙╔╟, THE NEWLY CREATED ROOM WILL BELONG TO THE SECOND ╙╔╟.
╘HIS IS TRUE WHEN THE USER HAS CREATE ACCESS TO ONE ╙╔╟.
┬UT WHEN THE USER HAS CREATE ACCESS TO MORE THAN ONE ╙╔╟, THEN THE ┬┬╙ HAS TO DECIDE WHICH ╙╔╟ THE NEW ROOM BELONGS. ╘HIS IS DONE IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER:
* ó╔F THE USER HAS CREATE ACCESS TO THE ╙╔╟ THAT HE IS CURRENTLY IN, THEN THE NEW ROOM WILL BELONG TO THAT ╙╔╟.
* ó╧THERWISE, THE NEW ROOM WILL BELONG TO THE FIRST ╙╔╟ THAT THE USER HAS CREATE ACCESS TO.
╙O, IF THE USER HAS CREATE ACCESS TO THE 3RD AND 5TH ╙╔╟, NEWLY CREATED ROOMS WILL BE ASSIGNED TO THE 3RD ╙╔╟, UNLESS THE USER CREATED THE ROOM IN THE 5TH ╙╔╟.
