- Introduction
- ------------
-
- You can use this program either from DOS or call it as a type 7 exit
- from your BBS. It displays todays callers to the BBS as well as the
- calls that has been made with the mailer. If you don't use FrontDoor
- as a mailer you can still use this program to display the callers to
- the BBS.
-
-
- Usage
- -----
-
- System Callers is simple to use. It uses the RA environment variable
- to locate where you have your LASTCALL.BBS & USERON.BBS. It uses the
- FD environment variable to locate where FrontDoor's Inbound/Outbound.His
- files are. If you are using FrontDoor v2.10 (or higher) and have set the
- TASK variable it will still work. If you run SCall as a type 7 or 15 exit
- then specify -P*P as a parameter on the option data line.
-
- SCall accepts 8 different parameters. Use -a to force it into ascii mode.
- Use -x<Zone> to strip up to 5 zones from beeing displayed. Use -s<Speed>
- to choose how you would like the local calls to be displayed. If you leave
- this switch out it would be displayed as 'Local' in the list. If you will
- run SCall in local mode you can use the -l switch. If you leave this switch
- out it will still run in local mode, but if it finds an ExitInfo.bbs file
- it will use it. The last switch is the -n<Nodenumber> switch that will
- exclude a certain nodenumber from beeing displayed. If you don't want to
- display any mailer calls then include -mail as a parameter and -user if you
- don't want to display any BBS calls. If you have a guest account and don't
- want this user shown as a newuser then you can use the -g<Username>. If the
- username contains spaces the make sure that you the following syntax instead
- -g<User_Name>.
-
- Your command could look something like this;
-
- Optional data: C:\Ra\SCall\SCall.Exe -P*P *M
-
-
- This program is freeware, however if you like this program and uses it
- in your BBS I would appreciate a small fee of 50 SEK or $5.

- History
- -------
-
- v1.00 : First public release
-
- v1.01 : Minor update. Got a message saying that it didn't hide users
- who where set as hidden and the display looked rather funny
- when the first user of the day started the program.
-
- v1.02 : Fixed ra v1.11 bug. It didn't show any users at all except
- for the user who where online.
- Fixed exclude sysop. It showed sysop if even if he/she had set
- the flag exclude sysop. I had forgot about that option and only
- checked if the user was set as hidden in the userbase.
-
- v1.03 : Fixed ascii display bug.
-
- v1.05 : Added a routine to check that a carrier is present on the
- comport. If not the program will now terminate itself. You
- can still run it in local mode.
-
- v1.06 : Fixed a couple of bugs in Ra v1.11 mode.
-
- v1.10 : Fixed bug if a user started the program just before midnight
- and the program was run over midnight, the date wouldn't be
- updated.
-
- v1.11 : If a user was online and SCall was run by the Sysop with the
- -l switch, SCall wouldn't show the user who was online. Fixed.
-
- v1.12 : Fixed major bug when run on a multiline system. Added the -P*P
- switch to make that the correct comport was used.
-
- v1.13 : Added a switch -x to be able to strip certain zones from beeing
- displayed. Up to 5 zones can now be stripped.
- Added a switch -s to be able to select how the local calls should
- be shown. Fixed a minor display bug.
-
- v1.14 : Added a switch -n to be able to strip a certain node number from
- the list.
-
- v1.15 : Fixed a bug that caused SCall to hang when the carrier was dropped
- when it was waiting for the user to hit a key.
-
- v1.16 : Included 2 new switches to be able to choose wheather I would like
- to display the mail calls to the BBS and if I would like to show
- the BBS calls.
-
- v1.20 : Fixed so if SCall was run in local mode it would display all users
- that has logged on to the BBS, even the hidden ones.
- Removed support for RemoteAccess v1.11
-
- v1.30 : Changed the code that displayed the mailer calls to the system.
- SCall will now display all mailer calls even on a multiline
- system.
