BWAnsi Version .01
Requirements: Bluewave Mail door for any BBS that can generate a Door.Sys dropfile,
including OS/2 Maximus Versions.
Installation: Copy Bwansi.Exe (Or Bwansi2.Exe for OS/2 Version) to the same directory
Your Door.Sys is created in. (Usually your BBS's main Directory);
Change to your bbs directory and type Bwansi.
At the requested Prompt type your BBS Name as it will appear.
" " " the path to your Bluewave Diectory.
" " " the name of your newsfile (Bluewave's
default name for this file is Reader1.Nws, but it can be named anything.
Now edit the batch file your bbs calls to run the Bluewave door when a
user chooses to run it. Just edit it so that it changes to the
Bwansi/door.sys/bbs directory, and runs Bwansi.exe right before it loads
the actual Bluewave Mail Door.
Included is a sample of my bbs's Reader1.Nws file that BWAnsi generates,
and my BWDoor.Bat file that my BBS calls to run the Bluewave Mail Door.
Your config: (BWAnsi.Cfg) contains three lines only, comments may be added, but
not on the first three lines..
Simple as that. Now, when your users open a mail packet from your BBS they'll be
greated with a colorful opening screen saying:
1)Hello (whatever their name is, and their City/town - from the door.sys file)
2)the name of the bbs downloaded from.
3)the exact time and date they downloaded that particular packet.
4)How much disk space your BBS System has in KBytes. (Support for up to 3 hardrives).
Cost: Nothing, this program is Freeware. However if you'd like modifications within
reason, I'd be happy to perform them at a cost of $5.00 (US). Include a SASE
and a blank disk of either 5 1/4 or 3 1/2 with your request(That I can mail it
back to you on). This would be the type of situation where you might want
certain info displayed that ISN'T currently, or you might want a different
screen design. If you want a different screen design send me an ansi to
incorporate into your custom version. If you want additional info displayed,
I'd suggest first emailing me to check that it is physically possible first-
unless you are sure.
(Ie: you may want the screen to display the users mothers' maiden name, but if
the BBS or Bluewave door doesn't generate such info, then it may not be
possible, - this is just a oversimplified example..).Also if you wanted a
different and/or more dropfiles supported: Like dorinfox.def, Chain.Txt, etc...
MS/PC Dos and OS/2 are the only platforms I'll support (or can for that matter :)
You may also Opt to Download your modded version on my bbs, after payment is
received. Your BBS's Name will be Hard-Coded into any Payed versions so as to
discourage piracy.
Each request is $5.00, so make sure you know what you want the first time.
