Date: 5/9/92 v1.1 Richie Molinelli - The Small Time BBS
AUTO-ANSI DETECT
For RBBS-PC 17.3C
──────────────────────────────────────

The SUNY BBS - (516) 420-0818

This merge will allow the RBBS-PC to Auto-Detect ANSI on the
users remote computer and allow the display of a color PRELOG file. This
file will be displayed to the user even if their graphics options are not
set to color graphics in the RBBS-PC USERS file. It's a quick and easy way
to display a color graphic to a user to catch their attention.
To install this merge you must first create a color PRELOG file
and name it in the standard RBBS-PC convention for naming color graphics
files by appending a "C" to it. This file is specified by Config
Parameter 83. If this file is set to the default of PRELOG then your ANSI
color file would be named PRELOGC.
To merge this code you simply need to run the ANSI173C.BAT file.
If you do this keep in mind that you will also need Ken Goosen's BLED program,
the RBBS-PC.BAS file, and the ANSI173C.MRG files in the same directory. There
are only a few lines of code in the actual merge so you may prefer to do
a "cut and paste" with your favorite ascii editor.
Please note that this option (in some form or another) will be
available in RBBS-PC Vers. 17.4 as written by Doug Azzarito. This merge
is only a far guess as to what he actually did to get this to work in the beta
Versions of RBBS-PC 17.4. So don't bother Doug Azzarito, Ken Goosen's or any
of the 17.4 beta testers with any problems you might encounter with this merge.
Feel free to call Richie or I for assistance if needed. At any rate,
Doug Azzarito deserves the credit for the Auto-ANSI concept in RBBS-PC.
But Doug, we just couldn't wait!
Thanks to:

For making RBBS-PC the greatest BBS software in the world.... AND making it
so readily available to all of us!
5/9/92: Due to the many merges which change and add code to the RBBS-PC.BAS
****** sub, I've moved most of the ANSI test code as a separate callable
subroutine in RBBSSUB5.BAS. This will free up precious memory in
the RBBS-PC.BAS sub and help avoid out of memory errors. L8r.
