*********************** Now on to the FUN!!! *************************
Harmless Bulletins is a BAJA Module for Synchronet BBS. I wrote it using
Synchronet Version 2.20b so I cannot guarantee it will work on earlier
versions. It is very simple to use, so have a blast with it. You can do
your own menus, so personalize it all you want...All I ask is that if
you change BULLEXIT.ASC please leave my add in it somewhere. This is
so I recieve credit for writing the script.
** It's only major limitation is that it only displays ASCII bulletins
at the present...Sorry guys...no ANSI...It will in future versions
tho...I PROMISE!!!
It does have its own code for Light Bar entry question! This is so that
your users are not FORCED into Harmless Bulletins. It will ask if you
wish to enter by using a light bar prompt. It looks real nice!
******************************** SETUP *********************************
Setup is VERY SIMPLE!
After unzipping the archive...
1. Copy HARMBULL.BIN to \SBBS\EXEC directory
2. Create a directory off of your \SBBS\TEXT\MENU directory
called HARMBULL.
eg. C:\SBBS\TEXT\MENU\HARMBULL
**** This MUST be done for the program to work ****
3. Copy all the ASCII files to the \SBBS\TEXT\MENU\HARMBULL
directory...
These files MUST exist in this directory..
- HARMBULL.ASC
- BULLDENY.ASC
- BULLEXIT.ASC
eg. Copy *.ASC C:\SBBS\TEXT\MENU\HARMBULL
4. Go to Synchronet Configuration Editor (SCFG) by hitting
"C" at the Wait For Call screen.
Select External Programs
Select Online Programs
Select the programs area you would like to place this
Select Available Online Programs
Place curser on blank line and hit 'INSERT'
Enter HarmLesS BuLletinZ as the program name
Enter HARMBULL for the internal code
**** At this point you need to make the program configuration look
EXACTLY like the example below!
╔[■][?]═══════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ HarmLesS BuLletinZ ║
╠═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣
║ │Name HarmLesS BuLletinZ ║
║ │Internal Code HARMBULL ║
║ │Start-up Directory ║
║ │Command Line *HARMBULL ║
║ │Clean-Up Command Line ║
║ │Execution Cost None ║
║ │Access Requirements ║
║ │Execution Requirements ║
║ │Multiple Concurrent Users No ║
║ │Intercept I/O Interrupts No ║
║ │Swap BBS out of Memory No ║
║ │Modify User Data No ║
║ │Execute on Event Logon ║
║ │BBS Drop File Type None ║
║ │Place Drop File in Node Directory ║
║ │Time Options... ║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
**** Now all you have to do is place your Bulletins into the
C:\SBBS\TEXT\MENU\HARMBULL directory.
The Program Menu prompts you to select the Letter
of the Bulletin you wish to view...but the Bulletins
must be named in the following convention...
Menu Selection A --- C:\SBBS\TEXT\MENU\HARMBULL\BULL1.ASC
Menu Selection B --- C:\SBBS\TEXT\MENU\HARMBULL\BULL2.ASC
Menu Selection C --- C:\SBBS\TEXT\MENU\HARMBULL\BULL3.ASC
Menu Selection D --- C:\SBBS\TEXT\MENU\HARMBULL\BULL4.ASC
etc...
etc...
And remember...Harmless Bulletins does not currently support
ANSI, so it will not notice your ANSI bulletins!
***
It also only supports 20 bulletins (A-T)
** Thats it...You are done...
******************************* NOTES **********************************
This program is distributed as Shareware/Freeware. It is not crippled
in any way...nor does it require any registration for continued use
but if you want my source code for whatever reason (customizing, tips
on how I wrote it, or ideas for your own modules) you gotta pay for it!
I have put alot of time into my various programs. I am a Visual Basic
programmer, and I write BAJA modules just for the heck of it, so to
show how much you appreciate my time and effort I ask for a $5.00
donation, and I will send you the source code (HARMBULL.SRC) and
ensure you recieve copies of all future versions (assuming you give
me a method to do so ie...MAILING ADDRESS, or BBS number) I am not crazy
tho, so if you want future versions I will notify you of availablity
and you can call my BBS and Download new versions...
Once I have recieved you donation I will make the source code available
for you on my BBS, so if you do not have an account on my BBS please
make one before I recieve it or tell me what handle and password
you want and I will create the account and include the Source Code in
E-Mail to you. This is how I will distribute future editions also.
I may even send ya little gifts now and again if I throw together some
code, cause I am that nice a guy! :)
If you send me the money and don't get the code, please send E-Mail to
Zaphod on my BBS and include you phone number or BBS number and I will
contact you...
