Introduction
After putting up a second node to the board, decided that it would be nice for
the users to know who was on the other nodes. I had seen something like this
in the past, but was unable to find the program. So I decided to write a
program to do this.
Use
Using the program is simple. You create a door file, I use WHOISON for mine.
The file contains the following
c:
cd\pcb
who c:\pcb\pcboard.sys c:\pcb\main\usernet.dat
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Path to the node Path to the PCBoard
PCBoard.sys file. usernet.dat file.
board
The program reads the USERNET.DAT file and displays the results to the screen
as well to the caller on line.
Here is a sample display.
Node User Calling From Status
1 Jim Deal Virginia Beach VA In chat with node 2
2 David Terry Murry UT In chat with node 1
4 Fred Clark Murry UT Entering a message
99 Tom Thumb Anywhere USA Available for chat
You will need to make the door a login door in the DOORS.LST file. Set the
security level to 0 and the Login flag to Y
If you find this program useful, please let me know. You can do this in one
of two ways, you can send me a small contribution ($5.00), or you may just
send me a post card letting me know how you like the program.
This program is written in Borland C++.
