SL LASTCALL
Version 1.02E
Copyright (c) 1994 JVSoft
by Jim Barber
-------------- SETUP FOR SLBBS -------------------------------
This program is designed to be used as a login autodoor. Set it
up as follow:
The Comamnd line format is as follows (type lastcall with no
parameters for these instructions):
LASTCALL [path to config.sl2] [time] [baud] [name]
SLBBS AutoDoor Setup:
Command ................... LASTCALL [path to config.sl2] %L %R %N
Directory Path ............ [wherever you put it]
Communications Support .... Standard
Abort Method .............. Terminate
Write Protection .......... No
Parameter File ............ None
Pause after door .......... Yes
Pass user name as ......... Alias [your choice SLBBS 3.5A and up]
NOTE: In version 1.02E the first parameter MUST be the path to your
SLBBS CONFIG.SL2 file.
If you do not have SLBBS 3.5A or above you do not have to worry about
the last parameter and the %R in the Command line will need to be
replaced with %B for buad rate to work correctly.
----- FYI -------
%R passes users actual baud rate regardless of systems locked status.
%B passes user baud rate--if system uses locked baud rate it will always
pass the locked rate.
---------- ANSI FILE -----------------------------------------
Starting with verison 1.0E LASTCALL uses an ANSI file for its screen
template. This file TPLATE.ANS is included with the ZIP package. Feel
free to edit the file with your own BBS name. However when editing the
file please remember several things:
1.) I created the file with THEDRAW in animation mode, this is
necessary because you need to use the animations, movement
command to make sure the cursor positions itself in the top
left corner of the printing area. If you do not the
screen will be overwritten in the wrong place by the
program. Make a backup copy of the TPLATE file before
editing.
2.) You need to keep the printing area (the big black square
where all the information is printed) the same size and
roughly in the same place (you can experiment with
placement, it may or may not work). It MUST be 10 lines
long and the current length wide. Change the borders and
colors until your hearts content.
3.) I would appreciate if you would leave the (c) copyright
logo at the bottom of the screen. I am making the file
editable for a reason, so you the user can customize the
program, however that leaves me open to people claiming my
work as their own. So I ask that you not remove the JVSoft
copy right message, however you may relocate it.
---------- INFORMATION COLORS --------------------------------------
Lastcall loads your slbbs configuration and uses the colors you
defined using the slbbs CONFIG.EXE program. The 2 colors used by
LASTCALL to display user information are the:
8. Special Message Color ............... color
10. Alternate Color ..................... color
----------- NOTES -------------------------------------------------
Thats it.. enjoy it.. I plan to make it pull out your SLBBS
colors in future versions that read the SLBBS config file from
the directory and use your defaults.... but right now its not
high priority so Im leaving it as is.
If you have any questions or would like to
download, FREE of charge on the first call, any
of the JVSoft doors call Joint Venture BBS at

Enjoy! Jim
