Date: 6-17-92 v1.0
(c) 1991,1992 by Richie Molinelli and Gary Glueckert
When forwarding a message in RBBS, it places the ">" character to signify
the lines quoted by the previous person. As a message thread is created
by forwarding the messages back and forth, more of these silly characters
are added to the lines causing, to me, a very sloppy appearance, and
making it difficult for others who read these messages to determine who
said what.
This merge was originally conceived by Gary Glueckert of the SUNY BBS. He
forwarded to me some code to look at and try since his wife was giving
birth to his son, and the college where his computer is located was closed
for the holiday week.
His original code needed some modification to compensate for the word wrap
feature in RBBS. In addition, the original code still had RBBS adding the
">" characters along with the quoted persons initials. I felt this was
unnecessary since the initials are there to begin with.
This is a very simple modification to the RBBS source code and as always, my
advice is to install this modificatin by hand if you have installed any other
merges which use these line numbers. If no other merges have modified these
line numbers then you may use Ken Goosens BLED v2.2 to install the
modifications. There is an enclosed batch file to perform this for you.
There are no additional variables to be added to the RBBS-VAR.BAS file with
this merge.
Files included are:
R-PCQUOT.MRG - mod file for RBBS-PC.BAS
RSB4QUOT.MRG - mod file for RBBSSUB4.BAS
QUOT174.DOC - this document
QUOT174.BAT - batch file to use BLED v2.2
I hope you like this modification. Please let us know what you think. Thanks.
