BM0406-x
BusiMods (tm)
Formerly the STUNY mods (STxxxx)
Fixes/changes since the BM0306 version:
1. Fixed ability to save message after RBBS displays that the message base is
full.
2. Optimized the file display header to conserve string space.
3. Settled on ability for up to 125 lines per message.
4. Added in Wild Card downloading! See the WILDCARD.DOC.
5. Added in mod by Chip Morrow to give ability to disable the "Uploaded by:"
in the description.
6. Fixed the "P L" bug whereby if the personal files had less than a page
of files to display, it would redisplay the list executing the "L"
command as stacked.
7. Changed bulletin prompt from "ENTER = NONE" to "ENTER = Quit" as per
Francois Massonneau. 03/19/94
8. Added new Macro characters. {AT for abort transfer. Will abort upload
or download.
9. Stopped RBBS from logging carrier drop for "Drop Carrier" mod if carrier
drop is due to call back verify door. Will now log "Log-off from User
Verify Door" when user verify door is disconnected either purposely or by
user dropping carrier.
10. Added additional CD-ROM support for disks other than PC SIG. Also
copies files to be downloaded to hard drive. Sets semaphore files and
checking for multinode operation. Supports Multichangers. READ THE
RBBSCDR.DOC!
11. Added Chris Quinns mod for the BusiMods to display a rip screen in files
section when listing files.
12. Included fix for New User Guest Privileges as posted in RBBSNet.
13. Fixed memory space display when running in Debug mode to reflect more
of a description of what is being displayed.
14. Fixed the double up of log off strings such as: "Auto-Logged off at"
coupled with "Carrier Dropped" and "Time Limit exceeded" mixed with
"Logged off at". Hopefully this will end the doubling up of the info
in the callers log.
15. New MAKEFIDX.EXE which won't list directory names in the FIDX file.
No longer using the PBCLONx library with MAKEFIDX.
16. Due to overrunning the line length, I have stopped passing the users
first and last name to the TEST.BAT file. This means that the file
extension is now the 4th parameter being passed. A list of the parameters
as passed is as follows:
%1 = File Name
%2 = VCHK file (file RBBS checks for errors)
%3 = COM port
%4 = Archive Type (ZIP, ARJ, LZH, etc)
Please adjust your TEST.BAT file(s) accordingly.
**** RCHAT/Multitasking Info **** 12/27/93 ****
When using a multitasking system such as DESQview or OS/2 v2.x the following
is recommended.
DESQview - set the variable RCHAT in your system AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Any
environment variable set in the system AUTOEXEC.BAT file WILL carry to
all windows. IF you decide to set it in each individual startup batch
file make sure that the <drive><path> for all are the same since this
is the user loging file and the chat data file.
OS/2 - if you don't have one already, create an AUTOEXEC.BAT file that will
be loaded per window in the DOS Settings. I use AUTORBBS.BAT. This file
is loaded in ALL my RBBS windows. It is in this file that I set my
environment variable(s). You CAN also add the SET line to your CONFIG.SYS
so the variable will load with every window, but this is NOT necessary and,
in fact, wastes memory.
NOTE:
OS/2 detection is for OS/2 DOS boxes. Will not detect OS/2 if you are
booting from a DOS image file (VDM).
The usage of TAME21 and OS2SPEED is recommended for smoother, faster
operation in an OS/2 DOS box. TAME21 fixes a bug in OS/2 v2.1GA which does
not allow DOS boxes to give up time slices. OS2SPEED will "fool" your doors,
etc, that are DESQview aware into giving up OS/2 time slices.
RIP only active if RIP detected. Will display "R" versions of files. User
can toggle from G)raphics command in utilities.
Rotating of welcome files only occurs in the MAIN board. The sub boards
WILL NOT rotate welcome screens.
When running RFM you MUST use the BusiMod MAKETABS to create your tab file.
The tab file created by RFM is NOT compatible with the BusiMods.
You do not have to do anything for RIP. SysOps have been asking about the
fact that the RIP doc by Dan Drinnon states such and such. Ignore the doc.
It is included for completeness. The only routine from the original mod
used is the RIP detection. Nothing is required on the SysOps part other
than the creation of RIP versions of display files (menues, etc).
READ THE DOCS!
