v 5.3A
Changed the way multinode version works.
Need to add a line in LASTON.CFG. Insert in first line before the
registration number. Put the name of the menu where LASTON will be run.
If you are MULTI-NODE RyBBS you MUST put something here even if you're
only going to run LASTON from first.bat, but don't put first.bat. legal
entries are, first.bbs, main.mnu, util.mnu, newmenu.bbs, etc.
To run from First.bat add the word node to the %1 parameter i.e.
LASTON %1NODE <etc.>
To run from a menu you no longer need the %NODE% paremeter.
If You are running the single node version of RyBBS put an empty line.
Not even a space!..
v 5.3b
Added line for registered users to change ANSI color/attributes of color
display of node number. Users of Dorinfo1.def that use multinode can display
node number by passing node number to LASTON and using %1DOR to tell LASTON
you're multinode. like so
LASTON %1DOR
Add color/attribue line after Date color/attribute line.
Can use DOS command line parameter to have LASTON remake the LASTON.CFG file
for you with new lines.
V 5.4c
Add ability to use fossil driver. Just add FOSSIL to the command line.
i.e. LASTON FOSSIL
will attempt to use fossil if resident. if fossil isn't found LASTON
will attempt to use it's own interrupt port routines. LASTON will leave
fossil active on port. To have LASTON unload fossil add a U to the fossil command
i.e. LASTON FOSSLU
this will tell LASTON to use fossil if present and to unload fossil when
done executing, will leave fossil resident..
Also added some code to make fossil version more responsive to input. Should
be no or little lag in input and responce.. i.e. if user hits a 'P' to pause
output it should pause output almost immediately, instead of lagging a few
seconds.
V 5.4d
rewrite some routines to accomadate problems with multi-line users.
change the command line for dorinfo1.def multi line users. Just enter
%1node dor with a space instead of %1dor as before. the %1 is the passing
of the node number. Refer to your BBS docs for the correct syntax for passing
your node number to the batch file BBS.
for RyMULT users you need the %node command in your calling menu when run
from a menu. like so
srun,5,5, [P]revious callers,*LASTON %NODE
^
batch file name.
In batch file you always need to call LASTON %1NODE for RyMULT.
it must be the first parameter for RyMULT users.
Added the command PAUSE. This will put a pause at end of display for remote
callers. It seems that main.mnu does not output a PRESS ENTER command after
a program runs as in first.bbs. The PAUSE command will allow a user to view
the end of the list without it zipping to the menu right away. use as other
commands
LASTON PAUSE
in batch file command line...
V 5.5
New setup commandline to create batch, and CFG files. Also creates your
command lines. Easy to use and follow. type..
C:\LASTON SETUP
Added file-locking. Multi-node users must have SHARE.EXE loaded
Made some changes to .CFG file. I suggest you make a new one with the
new setup utilitiy.
Supports different .CFG file names. Just put the name in the commandline
with a .CFG extension. Uses LASTON.CFG by default.
No-longer supports making text-files.
