MENU creating utilities
---------------------------
RCIS uses different types of menu files for different
purposes. When a user logs on, he has a choice of three graphic
emulations: OS-9, ANSI, or NONE. For the mainmenu, and the logon
screen, there are files that correspond to each of the emulation
types. Out of the files in /dd/datafiles, mainmenu.clr, and
logscr.clr are displayed to the screen for OS-9 users, while
mainmenu.ans, and logscr.ans are displayed for ANSI users.
Mainmenu.txt, and logscr.txt are displayed for TEXT users. The
os9edit, and os9toansi utilities have been provided to create the
.clr, and .ans files. The .txt files, can be created with any
text editor or word processor.
Another type of menu exists that makes use of /F and /B color
codes used by the message editor and lister. These menus can be
created easily by using the message editor. The message editor
can be called up by the following command:
msgedit filename clr
By hitting .H at the beginning of any line, you will be presented
with a help menu.
Sample files have been provided for you to see how the color
codes work. Look at /dd/datafiles/logoff, as an example.
os9edit:
This program allows you to make full-screen welcome messages
that use OS-9 graphics. The cursor can be moved around the screen
with the use of the arrow keys. A list of options can be seen by
hitting ALT-H. This utility can be used to make your own
mainmenu.clr and logscr.clr files.
os9toansi:
This utility will allow you to convert OS-9 screens, you
made with os9edit, to ANSI. This utility is called in the
following way:
os9toansi file.clr >file.ans
fanfold:
This is a filter that will allow you to jazz up your
bulletins by giving the text file the appearance of fanfold
paper.
To give a file the appearance of fanfold paper, use the following
command:
fanfold <file >file.new
Since output file will contain the /F and /B color codes, it must
be used along with msglist.
