SIN174
(c) 1993 by Richie Molinelli
Date: 01/31/93 - v1.0 - initial release
While working on the RBBS .ASM files I noticed a function named RBBSDOS which,
either was in use before and abandoned, or never was incorporated in RBBS. The
routine was written by D. Thomas Mack and it's purpose was/is to get the
version of DOS that RBBS is being run under. Since I like to display as much
about the system that my BBS is being run on as possible, I figured I'd write
a small routine to get and display this information. While doing so, I wrote
another small assembly routine called RBBSDESQ to determine if RBBS is being run
under DESQview and, if so, return the version number for display. Hence this
mod. It is a small mod, and involves changes to the RBBS source code, and the
addition of another .OBJ file to be included at link time.
The files included in this package are:
R-PCSIN.MRG - merge for RBBS-PC.BAS
RSB1SIN.MRG - merge for RBBSSUB1.BAS
RBBSDVW.OBJ - .OBJ file to be included at LINK time
RBBS-VAR.SIN - replacement RBBS-VAR.BAS file
SIN174.BAT - batch file to merge files
SIN174.DOC - this document file
My recommendation is to install this mod by hand if you have installed any mods
which may access the same line numbers as this one does. A batch file is
included to install these merge files using Ken Goosens BLED v2.2 if this is
the only mod which access these line numbers.
Install the mod by hand or with BLED. Replace your RBBS-VAR.BAS file with this
one or add the following variables to your existing RBBS-VAR.BAS file.
ZDOSversion$
ZDVversion$
Add the RBBSDVW.OBJ file to your LINK.DAT file (list of files to be included
at link time). That's all there is to it. Your system will now display the
DOS version number and, if applicable, the DESQview version number to your
users when they log on. Have fun!
