-=≡ SFONBBS version 1.2 ≡=-
Copyright 1995-1996
Written By: Jay Jackson
This program is named SFONBBS. Its function is to create display
files to show callers who is logged onto the BBS, and what they are
doing, as they log on.
HOW TO RUN SFONBBS
------------------
SFONBBS must be run from the SFLOGON.BAT file with the following
command line.
SFONBBS <Path To, And Name Of Config File> <Node Number>
Example:
SFONBBS C:\UTIL\SFONBBS.CFG 1
The file SFONBBS.EXE must be in a directory on your path, or in the
directory that you will be running it from.
DISPLAY FILES CREATED
---------------------
SFONBBS creates the following display files.
SFNODx.BBS
SFNODx.CLR
Where x represents the node number.
If these display files already exist SFONBBS will overwrite them, so
be careful if you are already using them.
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
---------------------
BOARDNAM=TEST PATTERN BBS
This is the BBS name as you want it to appear in the bulletin that
SFONBBS creates. For registered copies, this must match the name of
the BBS that was used to register. This parameter is necessary for
the proper operation of SFONBBS.
SYSOPNAM=Jay Jackson
This is the name of the sysop of the BBS. This is used for
registration purposes, and must be the sysops real name. This
parameter is necessary for the proper operation of SFONBBS, when
registered.
REGISTER=00000000000000
This is where the registration code is inserted once you have
registered. For unregistered operation, you can put anything you want
for this parameter. This parameter is necessary for the proper
operation of SFONBBS, when registered.
WORKPATH=C:\SF\WORK
This is the path to the Spitfire Work Directory. Do not include a
trailing backslash. This parameter is necessary for the operation of
SFONBBS.
DISPPATH=C:\SF\DISPLAY
This is the path to the Spifire Display Directory. Do not include a
trailing backslash. This parameter is necessary for the operation of
SFONBBS.
NUMNODES=4
This is the number of nodes that you run on your BBS. The display
file created will contain an entry for as many nodes as you show
with this parameter. This parameter is necessary for the proper
operation of SFONBBS.
OPERMODE=S
This is the operating mode for SFONBBS. The program has 3 operating
modes. They are Member(Y/N) mode which is activated by setting this
parameter = to M, Security Level mode which is activated by setting
this parameter = to S, and Connect Speed mode which is activated by
setting this parameter to C. This parameter will default to S when
not used.This paramater can be removed from the configuartion file
if you do not wish to use it.
HIDENUMB=1
This allows you to make it so that one caller of the BBS will not
appear in the listing of who is on even if they are. This is set = to
the callers record number in the Spitfire users file. I use this so
that callers do not know when I am online. This parameter is not
necessary for the operation of SFONBBS. This paramater can be removed
from the configuartion file if you do not wish to use it.
MESSAG01=Call (905)890-2531 For Access
MESSAG02=Call (905)890-4545 For Access
MESSAG03=Call (905)568-5204 For Access
MESSAG04=Sysops Local Node
The MESSAGxx parameter where xx represents the node number is where
you can put a custom message to tell your callers how to access the
BBS. This message is limited to 29 characters, and will be truncated
if you insert text that is longer that the maximum. You need to make
sure that you have one MESSAGxx line for each node of the BBS that
you configured above in NUMNODES. Note that the 0 in front of node
numbers less that 10 *IS* required.
TITCLR01=33
TITCLR02=32
TXTCLR01=35
BORDRCLR=34
These parameters set the four configurable colors used to create the
ANSI display file. What each parameter controls is shown below.
- TITCLR01 is for the main part of the header, and the
part of the footer that shows the name of the
program.
- TITCLR02 is for the highlights of the header, and
the part of the footer that shows the version number
and the name of the author.
- TXTCLR01 is for the text that displays the
information in the display file.
- BORDRCLR is for the boxes that the text is displayed
inside.
The numbers that correspond to the available colors are shown below.
- Red is 31
- Green is 32
- Yellow is 33
- Blue is 34
- Magenta is 35
- Cyan is 36
- White is 37
NODPAT01=C:\SF1
NODPAT02=C:\SF2
NODPAT03=C:\SF3
NODPAT04=C:\SF4
These parameters tell SFONBBS where the Spitfire home directories
are for each of your nodes. You need to make sure that you have one
NODPATxx line for each node of the BBS that you configured above in
NUMNODES. Note that the 0 in front of node numbers less that 10
*IS* required. This parameter is necessary for the proper operation
of SFONBBS.
MEMBLEVL=11
This parameter is only necessary if OPERMODE is set to "M". If a
callers security is less that the number set, then SFONBBS will
display "No" regarding their membership status. If a callers
security is greater than or equal to the number set, then SFONBBS
will display "Yes" regarding their membership status. If this
parameter is not set to "M", then this paramater can be removed
from the configuartion file if you do not wish to use it.
Note that parameters which are not used can be left in the
configuration file without affecting the operation of the program.
