OVERVIEW
________
MMBULL is a companion program for the Sunrise Match Maker (v4.0 or greater).
This standalone program will create two bulletins (color and ASCII) showing
the names of those with messages waiting in the Sunrise Match Maker Door. In
additon to the names the total number of messages for each caller will also
be shown. THIS IS NOT A DOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
INSTALLATION
____________
Installation is fairly easy and straight-forward. The following steps and
examples should have you up and running in a very short period of time.
1) Unzip MMBULLxx.ZIP into a work directory, and move MMBULL.EXE and
MMBULL.CFG into the Match Maker directory.
2) Modify the MMBULL.CFG to suit your environment
SUNRISE-80 BBS Your BBS Name
Al Sysop's First name
Lawrence Sysop's Last Name
00000000 Registration Number
NONE Drive:\Path\Filename for the ASCII
Bulletin or NONE
NONE Drive:\Path\Filename for the COLOR
Bulletin or NONE
N Use PCB style @ color codes. If this
option is chosen it will use the filename
supplied for the COLOR Bulletin and will
NOT create an ASCII bulletin.
22 Number of lines that your BBS can display
on one screen, before your BBS issues a
"MORE" type prompt. You may have to play
with this number; 22 seems to work very
nicley for me...
1 1 = Display LogonName of waiting messages
2 = Display Alias name of waiting message
Y Y = use the ANSI Clear Screen code to clear
the screen when a user is viewing the
bulletin. This should be used unless
your BBS software has a problem with
the ANSI code (only report we have had
so far is from a SpitFire BBS).
N = Do NOT use the ANSI Screen clear code
NONE Variable used by BBS software to PAUSE a
screen full of data being displayed to the
caller. Leave BLANK or use NONE if your
BBS software does not use/need variables
(@MORE@, @PAUSE@).
3) To execute the program, all that is required is that you execute the
following: MMBULL MMBULL.CFG from the MATCH MAKER directory. You
would more than likely want to run this in a nightly event or
immediately after a caller uses the Match Maker Door (if this is the
case then place the execution line in the Match Maker batch file.)
************************************************************************
> NOTE: Unregistered copies of this program will ONLY display the first 5
> callers with messages waiting.
