└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
READROOM is an online viewing door that provides a fully RIPped
environment for all of your online publications while still maintaing the
familiar ANSI and ASCII interface. READROOM will provide your users a
choice between up to 99 different publications, each with up to 99
different articles. Version 3.x of the READROOM door takes advantage of
advances to the READROOM.TOC format to support RIP file display as well
as submenus. The format allows for display of ASCII, ANSI text or
[ANSIART], and RIP files. RIP capable communications programs are
automatically detected. Files displayed by the READROOM door will also
translate @X color codes as well as a number of replaceable @ variables (see
Appendix C).
READROOM will work with any BBS that can produce a DOOR.SYS file,
either directly, or using a conversion program. READROOM can also, optionally,
allow the user to download the currently selected periodical using sysop
defined transfer protocols.
Advanced Features in this version include the ability to define
a logfile to track who opens a given publication. Sysops can also set
separate security levels for each publication if they so desire.
READROOM is fully interupt driven and is DESQView aware. It also
handles data transfer at rates up to 115,200 baud as well as handle
communication ports other than Com1 or Com2. It contains it's own
ANSI driver and also supports the 16550 UART chips through the FIFO
buffers. Full communiations support includes the DigiBoard COM/Xi series
of Intelligent Multi-Port boards. FOSSILs are also supported for those
that need 'em.
Sysops can chat with users with full wordwrapping, drop to DOS
or twit the caller without the caller ever knowing the sysop is
watching.
