- Revision 1.06 has added some new commands which as of this writing are of
- interest only to Opus alpha, beta and gamma testers. In addition, MONITOR.EXE
- is somewhat more advanced, albeit not yet modified for the new commands.
-
- Monitor can be used in two ways now:
-
- 1. As a DOS filter, which is no change. Thus you can use redirection
- and piping, as in:
-
- oecc bulletin.oec | monitor
-
- 2. It can take its input from a file rather than just stdin. The file
- name should be specified on the caommand line:
-
- monitor bulletin.bbs
-
- Please note that because of 1. you can still say:
-
- monitor < bulletin.bbs
-
- if you have any special desire to do so.
-
- The new commands will be described here only briefly. Opus 1.10 is still in
- its development stage, so these commands (or at least some of them may change).
- Some other commands will probably not make any sense to anyone but me. I
- included them thinking ahead of what currently exists.
-
- [language] := ^oL - change default language
- [color] := ^oE - what follows show only if ANSI/AVATAR
- [endcolor] := ^oe - end of ANSI/AVATAR only
- [tfile] := ^pT - show rest of file to twits and higher
- [hfile] := ^pH - show rest of file to hidden and higher
- [vfile] := ^p# - for future reference only
-
- (Note: all of the similar commands can now be preceded by t, h and v, e.g.
- [tline], [hline], [vline])
-
- [tbelow] := ^pBT - show to twits and below (rest of line)
- [dbelow] := ^pBD - show to disgrace and below
- ... ... etc for all levels ...
- [sbelow] := ^pBS - show to sysop and below
- [hbelow] := ^pBH - show to hidden and less
- [vbelow] := ^pB# - for future reference only
-
- [tequal] := ^pQT - show to twits only
- ...
- [pequal] := ^pQP - show to privileged only
- ...
- [vequal] := ^pQ# - reserved for future reference
-
- [txclude] := ^pXT - show to all except twits
- ...
- [exclude] := ^pXE - show to all except extra
- ...
- [sxclude] := ^pXS - show to all but don't bother sysop
- ...
- [vxclude] := ^pX# - reserved
-
- The following codes are for possible future use only. They are not used by
- any OEC as of this writing:
-
- [hex] := %X
- [decimal] := %d
- [unsigned] := %u
- [string] := %s
-
- I have enclosed my own msgarea.oec (somewhat modified) to help you see what
- it does. The beta and gamma testers can ask me questions in their appropriate
- echos. Everyone else is welcome to discuss this with me in the BBOS echo.
-
- PLEASE, DO NO LONGER SEND ME ANY QUESTIONS VIA NETMAIL. USE THE BBOS ECHO.
