^C33^C1New Front Door Program Installed on Crook BB^C0
^C36A newly developed Front Door program has been installed and is under
test. You are using it now and it provides a number of facilities to
display messages, bulletins etc and also to execute other Door
programs.
The main features are:-
^C1- Entries may be specified to be displayed to everyone, Sub-Sysops
only, or New Users only.
The Sysop Only option provides the basis for a means of allowing
a Sub-Sysop to carry out certain system functions, such as
updating a Members List.
- Entries may be configured to flash if new items have been added
since the last call.
See News for an example.
- Other door programs may be run from the Front Door, such as the
Questionnaire and certain parameters may be passed to door
programs.
Currently, the recognised system variables are
%Ver, %First, %Last, %Ansi, %HotKey, %NewUser
- Entries may be one of 4 types:-
X - Exit to Main BB
S - Display a single text file
M - Display a Sub-Menu to display a number of files
D - Run a Door program
- Colours and text are all fully
configurable.
- Front Door may also be run from the normal BB Doors, allowing
people access to the on-line help whilst in the main BB.
