- Author : Gerhard Hoogterp
- Version : 3.4
- Released : 01 Mar 1993
-
-
- Important:
-
- You have to recompile old cookie files. This version has a file added in the
- header so it became incompatible..
-
- What is it:
-
- Well, cookie is just an other fortune cookie showdoor. I wrote it after
- seeing a RA sysop stumbling around with a type 15 utilitie to show a
- fortune cookie every time a user passed the main menu.
-
- How to use it:
-
- Simple, make a Type 7 menuentry somewhere. (Maybe an automatic executed one)
- Put
-
- Cookie.exe -JUM:<FileName> [-P:*P] [-N:*N]
-
- In the optional data field and there you go.
-
- The *.JUM file is expected to be in the same directory as from where the
- program was started. Buf if you like you can use the environment variable
- 'COOKIES' to point to an other directory.
-
- When used on a multiline BBS you must load share. Cookie keeps a counter in
- the datafile (*.JUM file) and uses recordlocking to avoid problems.
-
- It also reads the config.ra and the exitinfo.bbs so make use you have
- the 'RA' environment variable set.
-
- Cookie uses ANSI when the user has his ANSI toggle ON, or avatar for that
- matter...
-
- What else:
-
- You can also make your own cookie files. Simply make a textfile,
- with an empty line between the cookies. Every cookie can be up to
- 10 lines, each maximal 79 characters.
- Start the file with a title for your cookies behind an %. f.e.:
-
- %Demo cookies
-
- Coo
- Coo
- Cooky 1
-
- Coooo
- coooo
- coooookie2
-
- etc.
-
- Version 3.x Also adds a complete new feature to Fortune cookie doors!!
- Bonus cookies!! If you are one of those sysop who like to give the users
- a option to win extra time or an extra (FREE) upload, read on!
-
- For extra time, just add a line saying +T<Minutes> to the cookie. f.e.
-
- WOW! HE! you.... YES YOU! You're the lucky winner of a real, tastefull,
- hard to get, but wanted by everybody BONUS cookie... Yeah!
- You get a real 2 extra, free minutes online time today!
- Thanks and other emotional responses can be send to the SysOp of this
- BBS....
- +T2
-
- You can also grand the user a free upload, Nice when you have a ratio
- system... This works the same, just add +F to the cookie, Here there's
- no count, only 1 single upload is granted!
-
-
- After you created the data file, you must compile it with BakeThem
-
- BakeThem has the syntax:
-
- BakeThem <FileName>
-
- Enjoy!
