- Disclaimer
- ----------
- FrontDoor Historical Humans (FDHH from here on out) is freeware. It is
- copyrighted, but may be used with no added charge in a noncommercial OR
- commercial environment.
-
- FDHH is guaranteed to do no more than occupy approx. 25k of hard drive
- space. If it breaks, you own both parts, etc...
-
- --------------
- WHAT IS IT????
- --------------
- FDHH will read a RemoteAccess LASTCALL.BBS file and add the users' name,
- location, time/date of call, and if applicable, the node # that he logged
- in on to the FrontDoor INBOUND.HIS file. INBOUND.HIS is better known as
- Inbound History, or ALT-I from the main FD screen. It will also, if you don't
- tell it not to, add the users' information to the LASTCALL.FD file, that
- holds the information displayed in the "In...Out" box of FrontDoor.
-
- I missed this feature of Portal of Power when I switched back to FD, so I
- wrote it.
-
- ---------------
- How to use FDHH
- ---------------
- In order for FDHH to work, it needs for the following two environment variables
- to be set:
-
- %FD% - Path to the FrontDoor system directory
- %RA% - Path to the RemoteAccess system directory
-
- next, you run FDHH from the directory you've installed it to (or from
- another if it's in your PATH, there's no config file necessary) and it will
- add the last caller in LASTCALL.BBS to INBOUND.HIS and LASTCALL.FD.
-
- The following command-line parameters also work with FDHH (you can use - or
- /, not case-sensitive):
-
- -A - Use aliases instead of real names
- -O - Do not place the user's name on the waiting-for-call screen
- -L - Do not place the user's info in the history file
- -? - HELP!!!
-
- If INBOUND.HIS does not exist, FDHH will create one as per JoHo's
- specifications in the FrontDoor developer's kit.
-
- You should place FDHH in your batch file somewhere to run after
- every BBS call.
-
- --------------
- For the Future
- --------------
- Here's what will be added to FDHH for future releases:
-
- ■ Support for more BBS software
-
- That's it... It's stable and it does what's necessary of it, so it doesn't
- need to be a big program...
