Color Test 174
(c) 1993 by Ken Collins
and Richie Molinelli
v1.0 - 03/27/93 - initial release
This mod was a very time consuming mod consisting of 1 line. :)
Most of the credit for this mod goes to Ken Collins who made the original
suggestion and wrote the SHOWIT program for use in the RBBS file testing
batch files. With this modification you can now have all 3 flavors of test
files (text, ASCII and color ANSI) for uploaded files. RBBS will search for
the proper file based on the users graphic setting and execute that file
(ie: TZIP.BAT, TZIPG.BAT and TZIPC.BAT). The SHOWIT program included with
this mod will quickly direct color or non color ANSI screens out the
communications port thereby permitting colorful, entertaining ANSI screens
to be displayed to the user while the file is being tested. The SHOWIT program
has been tested running under DESQview and DOS.
Installation is quite simple. Just make the 1 line change in RBBSSUB3.BAS
contained in the merge file. My recommendation is to make this change by hand
but Ken Goosens BLED v2.2 can also be used. Just recompile with the new
RBBSSUB3.BAS and create your test batch files. Two sample batch files are
included for reference. Both are for ZIP files and demonstrate what can be
done. Adjust for your own system. Make sure the SHOWIT program is in your
path and the lines in your batch file point to the display file(s) with
path(s). That's it!
