LazyBBS Users Guide
-------------------
Terminal
LazyBBS does not use sophisticated terminal functions apart from
the VT100/ANSI 'Delete Screen' and 'Delete Line', you can safely use
it with any terminal emulator. VT100/ANSI just looks a bit nicer.
Menus
Menus are hierarchical and based on hotkeys, you just need to
type the letter of your choices. Some choices may require user flags
your sysop attributes.
Mail reading
Conferences are split in several groups accessible through menu
items. Once you have selected a group, a conference selector
allows you to choose one conference. The messages are now
displayed and you can browse through the message base ([P]revious
message, [N]ext message, [G]oto message number), and scroll the
message itself ([H]ome [M]ore). An easy way to read your mail is
to use the space bar, that scrolls messages and jump to the next
message once the current one is finished.
The BBS software sets the current pointer to the first message that
arrived on the system since the last day you came. If it points on
message 1, no new messages arrived since your last login day.
Line editor
An easy-to-use line editor is provided for writing messages. If you
miss a full screen editor, you urgently need an offline mail
reader, such as a Fidonet point system. Ask your sysop.
Bulletin
At the 'More ?' prompt, when your read a bulletin you can type [C]
to start capture, it displays the whole bulletin without prompts so
that you can capture the text with your comms program for later
offline reading.
Chat
Chat mode is dumb. You'll enter chat mode even if your sysop is not
here. It's up to you to quit if nothing happens.
Download
Download is easy to use. Only the zmodem protocol is provided, but
you should also be able to use Ymodem and Xmodem as Zmodem shall
downgrade to them if Z itself does not work.
The download limit on the first day is small and just allows you
to get small files. It is upgraded to the standard daily limit on
your second day. Everyone then has the same limit.
You can download ONE file bigger than the limit per day, without
downloading any other file on that day. The "global download" option
allows you to get a file of any area from a single prompt.
Multiple file and regular expressions are accepted in this option,
that is you can ask for:
