Remote Access Sysop's Information Service
** Release 1.06 **
GENERAL-
As the code size, and mostly the memory requirements, are hindering the
expansion I'd like to see, I will probably totally re-structure RASIS
before the next release.
REPORTS-
CONFIG.RA dump... There are still a few of the newer fields that have
not yet been added, we will be working in this more.
Early testing with a print spooler showed that its gonna take some real
serious work, a few problems cropped up. This has been put on the back
shelf for now.
1. It has been requested that perhaps I would have two
File/Message areas on the area reports. I will probably do
this, but it involves a complete rewrite of the code that
does these reports. As the report is completely formatted
"in memory" before it is ever sent to file/print, the text and
variables are placed in position at Column/Row coordinates, in
memory, then the whole page is printed from "top" to "bottom"
So, some serious re-writing is required. I will see what
I can do....
MESSAGE POSTING-
Perhaps we shall add a few more user macros to the Message
Macros.
Looking at real time choice of message area, possible.
OVERALL-
Still need more work on the memory requirements.
This will be an ongoing job, I will get it trimmed down as
much as possible!
SPECIAL-
Once a few more items are taken care of in RASIS, I will make a
copy of the latest version available, that will have NONE of the
screens or code to display when running in unregistered mode.
This will make the overall program size smaller, and will lessen
the memory requirements a little.
The only check will be, if the registration code is not correct,
RASIS will just refuse to run!
I may release this "Registered Only Special Copy" to the
distribution sites, or it may "only" be available from
The RaLin BBS, I will post a release not in the appropriate
echos when it is ready.
***** This special version will probably materialize now that 1.06
has been released. It may be a few months before the next release.
The RTC (Real Time Conference) report was added to 1.03, but it may still
be a little buggy. For sure there is no info on some of the info, I still
have to rely on someone to send me a copy of a full bore CONF.BBS with
some FULLY ACTIVE conference information in it.
Anything you would like to see added, as far as configuration, please let
me know.
We hope to make all information pertaining to your RA BBS, available
at the press of a key.
I might add, should Andrew decide to add or change things in RA, again,
I will do my best to release an update as quickly as possible.
What has been done has involved many programming hours, and adding the
above items, represents many more hours. The only way that this program
can be expanded and enhanced, is if "you", the Sysop support it by
registering!!
Thanks, Rand Nowell
