Documentation for
PAUSE_R.COM
BACKGROUND
Many more BBS systems are implementing the "DOORS" concept. What this
means is that the user slips out of the BBS and into another application
while still in remote mode. There are two ways of doing this. One way is
to use the "TTY" command. This can be a security problem, in that the
local control is lost, and a user who breaks out of a program can literally
wipe out your system.
A second method is to have all remote users exit into a program or
system of programs that output to COMx: and the local CRT as well as read
input from COMx: and the local keyboard. This way there is no danger in
losing valuable information.
PAUSE_R is one such program. It allows the SysOp to create a Batch file
system for remote users. PAUSE_R will wait for a key to be pressed either
locally or remotely. If a message is added to the command area, then this
message is displayed at both sites as well. Thus:
PAUSE_R
Would cause the batch processing to halt until a local or remote user
pressed a key. And:
PAUSE_R Press any key to begin ....
Will display and transmit this message before waiting for a "keystroke".
And for those of you who want to support ANSI graphics, PAUSE_R will
interpret a '@' character as an escape code, thuse allowing some
inventive user to create multi-color pause messages. Also, for COM2: users,
use PAUSE_R2.COM.
Important!!!
This program make two assumptions:
1. That the COMx: serial board is installed
2. That the Modem is functioning
