─OCUMENTATION FOR ╙╘/╥ ┬┬╙ V3.9
╘HIS IS THE DOCUMENTATION FOR THE BULLETIN BOARD PROGRAM CALLED
╙╘/╥ ┬┬╙ V3.9. ╞IRST, ╔ WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A SHORT HISTORY OF WHY ╔
WROTE THIS PROGRAM. ╔T'S REALLY NOT VERY LONG. ╫HEN A FRIEND OF MINE
BOUGHT HIS MODEM AND STARTED CALLING BOARDS (┴TARI) IN ╚OUSTON, ╔ JUST
HAD TO HAVE ONE MYSELF....AND ╚OUSTON WAS NEVER THE SAME. (╫ELL, AT
LEAST ╔ LIKE TO THINK THAT.) ┴FTER ABOUT THREE MONTHS ╔ DECIDED ╔
WANTED TO RUN MY OWN BOARD, BUT NO PROGRAM WAS READILY AVAILABLE AT
THE TIME THAT WAS BOTH EASY TO SET UP AND HANDLED ONLY ONE DRIVE. ╔
TRIED TO COMPREHEND ├-╬ET, 6485, AND A FEW OTHERS ╔ DON'T REMEMBER.
╙O ╔ DECIDED, SINCE ╔ ╠╧╓┼ TO PROGRAM, ╔'D WRITE MY OWN PROGRAM. ╔
FOUND A BASE PROGRAM CALLED ╓IKING 7.5 AND WENT FROM THERE. ╔ CHANGED
ALL THE ROUTINES AND FINISHED WITH SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT: ╙╘/╥
V3.9. ╬OW YOU MAY WONDER, '╫HAT DOES "╙╘/╥" STAND FOR??' ╫ELL SINCE
╔'M HORRIBLE AT NAMING THINGS, ╔ NAMED IT AFTER MY TWO FAVORITE ╘╓
SHOWS, ╙TAR ╘REK AND ╥OBOTECH, THUS ╙╘/╥!! ┼NOUGH ABOUT THAT, IN THE
FOLLOWING PAGES, ╔'LL FIRST GO OVER ALL THE MENUS FOUND THROUGH OUT
THE ┬┬╙ PROGRAM AND EDITOR AND THEN ╔'LL ╘╥┘ TO EXPLAIN ALL THE
INTRICACIES OF THE PROGRAM.....┘OU'LL UNDOUBTEDLY FIND MANY NOT
MENTIONED HERE!
╘HE FOLLOWING IS A SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE ═AIN MENU:
┴ - ╘HIS READS THE FILE ON DISK CALLED (ANNOUNCE).
─ - ╙ENDS USER TO THE ╒P/─OWNLOAD SECTION.
┘ - ├ALLS SYSOP IF AVAILABLE.
╞ - ╠EAVES PRIVATE MESSAGES TO SYSOP.
┼ - ╙ENDS PRIVATE MESSAGES TO INDIVIDUAL USERS.
╔ - ╥EADS FILE ON DISK CALLED (BBS EQP).
╟ - ╙ENDS USER TO ╟ENERAL ╞ILES SECTION IF AVAILABLE.
╧ - ╥EADS FILE ON DISK CALLED (BBS NUMBERS).
╙ - ╙ENDS USER TO ╙╘┴╘╙: MENU.
╥ - ╥EADS FILE ON DISK CALLED (BBS NAME).
╬ - ┴LLOWS USER TO ADVANCE BAUD RATE FROM 300, UP TO 600.
╘HIS DOES NOT APPLY TO 1200 OR 2400 BAUD CALLERS.
╘ - ╙HOWS A LIST OF ALL USERS WHO HAVE CALLED SINCE MIDNIGHT.
╠ - ╠ISTS AVAILABLE SUB-BOARDS.
╪ - ╘HE ├╧╥╥┼├╘ WAY TO LOG-OFF!!
╚ - ╥EADS FILE ON DISK CALLED (HELP).
╤ - ╥EADS ┴╠╠ NEW MESSAGES ON ┴╠╠ SUB-BOARDS SINCE THE USER'S LAST
CALL.
╨ - ╙ENDS USER TO THE ╨ROGRAM ╞ILES SECTION. (╧NLINE ╟AMES)
╘HE NUMBERS 0-9 WILL HAVE EFFECT ACCORDING TO CERTAIN THINGS.
╨RESSING ONE OF THESE KEYS WILL SEND THE USER TO THE FIRST SUB OF THAT
SECTION THAT THE USER HAS ACCESS TO. ╔F THERE ARE NO SUBS IN THE
SELECTED SECTION, OR THE USER DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO ANY OF THE SUBS
IN THAT SECTION, THEN NO ACTION IS TAKEN.
╙╘/╥ ┬┬╙ V3.9 ─OCS ╨AGE 2.
╘HE % KEY WILL ASK A USER WITH ╙┘╙╧╨ STATUS FOR THE PASSWORD TO
THE ╥EMOTE ╙YSOP ═ENU. ╙┘╙╧╨ STATUS IS RECOGNIZED BY AN ACCESS LEVEL
OF 65535. ╘HE PASSWORD IS SET IN THE ┬┬╙ ┼DITOR MAIN SCREEN.
╘HE ╤UICKSCAN FUNCTION NOW HAS SOME NEW OPTIONS ADDED WHEN YOU
HIT THE ╤ KEY. ┘OU HAVE A CHOICE OF ╤UITING (┴BORT THE MESSAGE READ,)
├ONTINUOUS READ (ALL MESSAGES SHOWN NON-STOP,) OR ╨AUSING BETWEEN
MESSGES. ╫ITH THE ╨AUSE OPTION, AFTER A MESSAGE AND ALL OF ITS
REPLIES HAVE BEEN SHOWN, YOU WILL SEE THE SAME PROMPT YOU WOULD SEE
WHEN READING MESSAGES FROM THE SUB-BOARDS MENU ╞ AND ╥ COMMANDS. ╘HIS
WILL ALLOW YOU TO SEND ┼-MAIL TO THE PERSON WHO LAST REPLIED TO THE
MESSAGE, OR ADD YOUR OWN REPLY TO THE MESSAGE YOU JUST READ. ┼NTERING
A NUMBER AT THIS PROMPT WILL HAVE NO AFFECT, SINCE YOU ARE ONLY
READING NEW MESSAGES.
┴T ANY PROMPT IN THE ╒SERFILE, ┼-MAIL, ╟ENERAL FILES, ╬EW ┬AUD
╥ATE, AND ╞EEDBACK SIMPLY PRESSING ╥┼╘╒╥╬ ALONE AT THE PROMPT WILL
ABORT THE SECTION AND RETURN THE USER TO THE MAIN MENU. ┴ SIMPLE RULE
TO FOLLOW IS '╔F ╥┼╘╒╥╬ DOESN'T ABORT, THEN '╤' WILL.' ┴NOTHER WAY TO
ABORT DURING A FILE READ OR SCAN OF NEW MESSAGES IS BY PRESSING THE
╙╨┴├┼-┬┴╥ OR '/'. ╙╨┴├┼-┬┴╥ WILL BREAK THE CURRENT MESSAGE AND
CONTINUE TO THE NEXT. '/' WILL ABORT THE WHOLE MESSAGE READ FUNCTION.
╘HIS WORKS FOR THE ╤UICKSCAN FUNCTION BUT ALSO APPLIES WHEN READING AN
INDIVIDUAL MESSAGE WITH SEVERAL REPLIES.
╘HE FOLLOWING IS A SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE COMMANDS FOUND
IN THE ┬ULLETIN ╙ECTION:
╠ - ╠ISTS AVAILABLE SUB-BOARDS AS FROM MAIN MENU.
╨ - ╨OST A MESSAGE ON THE ACTIVE SUB.
╤ - ╥ETURN TO THE MAIN MENU.
╥ - ╘HIS READS MESSAGES IN '╥'┼╓┼╥╙┼ ORDER.
╙ - ╙CANS THE SUBJECT HEADING OF EACH MESSAGE POSTED.
╞ - ╘HIS READS MESSAGES IN '╞'╧╥╫┴╥─ ORDER.
+ - ╘HIS STEPS UP TO THE NEXT SUB-BOARD.
- - ╘HIS STEPS DOWN TO THE PREVIOUS SUB-BOARD.
┘ - ├ALL SYSOP FOR CHAT IF AVAILABLE AS FROM MAIN MENU.
╬ - ╥EAD ┴╠╠ NEW MESSAGES ON CURRENT SUB SINCE USER'S LAST CALL.
┴ - ╥EAD ALL MESSAGES ON THE CURRENT SUB.
┬ - ├HANGE CURRENT SUB-SET.
╘HE DIGITS 0-9 WILL SEND THE USER TO THAT SUB-BOARD IF IT IS
ACTIVE AND THE USER HAS APPROPRIATE ACCESS. ┴LSO, THE + AND -
COMMANDS CHECK ONLY THE NEXT SUB UP OR DOWN, IF THE USER DOES NOT HAVE
ACCESS TO IT, NOTHING HAPPENS. ┼VEN IF THE USER HAS ACCESS TO THE NEXT
SUB AFTER THE ONE CHECKED. ╙UPPOSE YOU HAVE 4 SUBS, THE USER IS ON
SUB-BOARD 1 AND HAS ACCESS TO SUBS 1 AND 3. ╨RESSING THE '+' KEY WILL
HAVE NO EFFECT BECAUSE THE USER DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO SUB #2. ╘HE
USER WILL HAVE TO PRESS THE '3' KEY TO ACCESS SUB #3. ╘HE SAME
APPLIES WITH '-' IF THE USER IS ON SUB #3.
┼NTERING A NUMBER FOR A SUB-SET WITH THE '┬' COMMAND IS EXACTLY
LIKE HITTING THAT NUMBER FROM THE ═┴╔╬: PROMPT.
╙╘/╥ ┬┬╙ V3.9 ─OCS ╨AGE 3.
╘HE ╞ORWARD AND ╥EVERSE COMMANDS EACH READ AND DISPLAY THE FIRST
MESSAGE IMMEDIATELY WHEN PRESSED. ╫HEN THE MESSAGE IS READ THE USER
HAS A FEW CHOICES, AND THEY ARE:

╤ - ┴BORT THE MESSAGE READ.
╥ - ╥EPLY TO THE MESSAGE JUST READ.
┼ - ╙END ┼-MAIL TO THE PERSON WHO WROTE THE LAST MESSAGE READ.

AT THE PROMPT. ╙EE THE ╤UICKSCAN DESCRIPTION ABOVE.
╞OR THOSE WITH ╙┘╙╧╨ STATUS ANOTHER COMMAND AVAILABLE IS '╨'

SHOULD BE USED WITH CARE, BECAUSE IF THE PRINTER IS NOT AVAILABLE, THE

╘HE ╒P-─OWNLOAD SECTION IS NOW A ╙UB-╨ROGRAM!! ╙O IT TAKES A FEW
SECONDS DEPENDING ON THE HARDWARE SYSTEM OF THE SYSOP FOR THIS TO
LOAD.
╔F YOU HAVE ┴╠╠ DRIVES PROTECTED, ONLY USERS WITH ╙┘╙╧╨ STATUS
CAN ACCESS THE ╒P/─OWNLOAD SECTION. ╬ORMAL USERS WILL SEE THIS

╨RESSING 5 PLACES YOU IN THE APPROPRIATE SUB-BOARD. ┘OU HAVE
FULL ACCESS LEVEL AND ALL COMMANDS ARE AVAILABLE FOR READING AND
POSTING OF MESSAGES. ╓┼╥┘ PRACTICAL FOR READING, BUT ╔ WOULD SUGGEST
YOU LOG-ON LOCALLY TO POST ANY MESSAGES.
╞OR 8, REPLACEMENT OF DELETED USERS, WHEN SET ON ('YES') THE
PROGRAM WILL SEARCH THE USERFILE AND GIVE A NEW USER THE ╔─# OF THE
FIRST DELETED USER IT FINDS. ╘HIS WAS DONE TO STOP THAT RELATIVE FILE
FROM GROWING ┼╪╘╥┼═┼╠┘ FAST WHEN SOME PEOPLE USE THREE ID#'S TRYING TO
LOG-ON CORRECTLY!!
╔F A USER'S ACCESS LEVEL IS CHANGED WITH 9, AND YOU WANT IT TO BE
TEMPORARY, YOU WILL HAVE TO CHANGE IT BACK TO NORMAL, OR IT WILL BE
SAVED WHEN THE USER LOGS OFF.
┴╠╫┴┘╙ USE ┬ TO RETURN A USER CONTROL, EVEN IF YOU ARE IN LOCAL

╨RESSING 3 LETS YOU EDIT A USER'S STATISTICS. ╔F THE ID# YOU
SPECIFY AND THE CURRENT OR LAST USER'S NUMBER ARE THE SAME NO DISK
ACCESS IS MADE. ╧THERWISE THE STATS ARE LOADED IN FROM DISK. ╔F YOU
CHANGE THE CURRENT USER'S STATS AND THAT USER IS CURRENTLY ONLINE, YOU
WILL NOT HAVE TO SAVE THEM TO DISK. ┴LSO, AT THE PROMPT, PRESSING '╙'
WILL SAVE THE USER'S STATS BACK TO DISK. ╔F A USER IS CURRENTLY
ONLINE AND YOU EDIT HIS/HER STATS, YOU SHOULD ╬╧╘ SAVE THEM TO DISK AS
THIS WILL ╬╧╘ REGISTER ONLINE AND WILL BE ERASED WHEN THE USER LOGS
OFF. ╨RESSING '╨' WILL PRINT THE STATS TO THE PRINTER. ┴GAIN, MAKE
SURE THE PRINTER IS HOOKED UP AND TURNED ON BEFORE DOING THIS!!
╘HE '├' COMMAND WAS ADDED FOR THOSE WHO BEACAUSE OF THEIR HOURS
AND/OR SCHEDULES CANNOT SEE THE (USER LOG) BEFORE IT IS SCRATCHED AT
MIDNIGHT. ╫ITH THIS FUNCTION ON, IT IS THE ╙YSOP'S RESPONSIBILITY TO
KEEP THIS FILE FROM TAKING OVER ALL AVAILABLE DISK SPACE. (┴ND IT WILL
GROW ╞┴╙╘!!)
╘HE '─' COMMAND ONLY SHOWS UP IF YOU HAVE A 1670/╚AYES MODEM.
╔F SOMEBODY CALLS AND THE MODEM ANSWERS AND CONNECTS WHILE YOU ARE IN
THE ╙YSOP MENU, HIT ─ TO CONNECT THE USER AS HITTING 4 WILL ERASE THE
CONNECT CODES FROM THE ╥╙-232 BUFFER.
╔F YOU HAVE A 1670/╚AYES MODEM AND DO NOT WISH TO BE BOTHERED
WITH THE MODEM YELLING AT YOU EVERYTIME YOU RECEIVE A CALL, HITTING ┼
WILL TOGGLE THE STATUS OF THE MODEM'S SPEAKER EITHER ON OR OFF. ╘HIS
STATUS CAN ALSO BE SET AS A DEFAULT WITH THE ┬┬╙ ┼DITOR.
╙╘/╥ ┬┬╙ V3.9 ─OCS ╨AGE 7.
╘HE ╞ COMMAND IS NICETY ╔ ADDED. ╔F YOU HAVE A BUNCH OF USERS
THAT LIKE LOGGING ON AND JUST PLAYING GAMES OR DOWNLOADING WITH OUT
POSTING A MESSAGE IN A MONTH OR SO, THIS COMMAND IS FOR YOU. ╫ITH
THIS SET TO ┘ES, A USER WILL HAVE TO EITHER POST A MESSAGE OR REPLY TO
A MESSAGE IN THE MESSAGE BASES. ╬╧╘┼: ╠EAVING ╞EEDBACK ─╧┼╙ COUNT AS
LEAVING A MESSAGE, HOWEVER SENDING ┼MAIL DOES NOT. ╧NCE THE MESSAGE
REQUIREMENT IS MET, THE USER WILL HAVE FULL, NORMAL ACCESS TO ANY
PROGRAM FILE.
╬OW FOR A FEW THINGS NOT MENTIONED YET, IF ╔ CAN THINK OF THEM
ALL.... ╙UB-SET #9 IS SET UP EXACTLY LIKE THE ╥╨╟'S SECTION IN V3.3╪.
╙O ALL OF YOUR ╥╨╟ GAMES CAN BE PLACED HERE WITHOUT INTERRUPTING ANY
GAMES IN PROGRESS!!
╫HILE A USER IS ON-LINE, THERE ARE A FEW WAYS TO BE KICKED OFF
THE SYSTEM. ╘HE FIRST IS FOR THE SYSOP TO PRESS '╞8'. ╘HIS MAY NEED
TO BE DONE MORE THAN ONCE UNTIL THE USER IS TOTALLY OFF THE SYSTEM.
╘HE SECOND WAY IS NOT TO HIT A KEY FOR FOUR MINUTES. ┴ND THE FINAL
WAY IS TO STAY ON-LINE FOR FOUR HOURS. ╘HE USER CAN SIMPLY CALL BACK
IF THE LATTER HAPPENS, BUT WHO WANTS TO STAY ON-LINE FOR OVER TWO
HOURS ANYWAY?!?!? (═ORE ON THE ╬┼╫ ╘IMELIMIT LATER...) ╘HIS WAS DONE
BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM WITH THE CARRIER DETECT FOR MY ╓OLKS 6470/80
MODEM. ╔F ANYONE USES THIS ┬┬╙ WITH THESE MODEMS, YOU HAVE ┴╠╠ MY
SYMPATHIES!!!!!!!!!
┴T ANY POINT THE USER CAN PRESS ├╘╥╠-╙ (OR THE UNSHIFTED ├╠╥/╚╧═┼
KEY) TO PAUSE THE ┬┬╙ ┴╠╙╧, THE '╨' KEY WILL NOW PAUSE ANY TEXT GOING
OUT. ┴NY KEY RESUMES NORMAL PROGRAM FLOW.
╬OW ABOUT THE TWO FILES CALLED (USER LOG) AND (T.CALLERS). ╘HESE
TWO FILES SHOULD ┴╠╫┴┘╙ BE PRESENT ON ─EVICE 8;DRIVE 0, OR THE PROGRAM
WILL LOCK UP. (T.CALLERS) IS A LOG OF ALL CALLERS SINCE MIDNIGHT AND
CAN BE READ BY A USER FROM THE MAIN MENU BY PRESSING '╘'. (USER LOG)
IS A ╓┼╥┘ ─┼╘┴╔╠┼─ LOG OF ┼╓┼╥┘ KEY THE USER PRESSES AND AT WHAT MENU
PROMPT THEY WERE AT. ┴S MENTIONED ABOVE, ALL FILES UPLOADED AND
DOWNLOADED ARE SAVED HERE AS WELL. ┬OTH OF THESE FILES ARE CREATED BY
THE EDITOR PROGRAM IF THEY ARE NOT PRESENT ON THE SYSTEM DISK.
╘O PERSONALIZE THE PROGRAM TO YOUR TASTES, THERE ARE SEVERAL TEXT
FILES YOU WILL NEED TO CREATE. ╘HEIR EXACT NAMES ARE:
'(BBS WELC)' - ╙EEN AT LOG-ON.
'(BBS EQP)' - ╙EEN WHEN A USER PRESSES '╔' FROM MAIN MENU.
'(ANNOUNCE)' - ╙EEN AFTER A VALIDATED USER LOGS ON AND BY PRESSING
'┴' FROM THE MAIN MENU.
'(BBS NUMBERS)' - ╙EEN WHEN USER PRESSES '╧' FROM MAIN MENU.
'(BBS NAME)' - ╙EEN WHEN USER PRESSES '╥' FROM MAIN MENU.
'(HELP)' - ╙EEN WHEN USER PRESSES '╚' FROM MAIN MENU.
'(NEWUSER)' - ╙EEN WHEN A NEW USER HAS ANSWERED ALL QUESTIONS.
'(LOG OFF)' - ╙EEN WHEN A USER LOGS OFF BY PRESSING '╪' FROM MAIN
MENU.
╙╘/╥ ┬┬╙ V3.9 ─OCS ╨AGE 8.
┴LL OF THESE FILES CAN NOW HAVE .CG ADDED TO THE FILENAME AND YOU
CAN MAKE THE FILE A ├/╟ MOVIE OR PICTURE!! ╘HE FILENAME ON YOUR DISK
SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS: (BBS WELC.CG) OR (ANNOUNCE.CG)....┴LSO, ╔F A
USER LOGS ON IN ┴╙├╔╔, THEY WILL NOT SEE THESE FILES, ONLY ├/╟
CALLERS. ╘HE ┴╙├╔╔ USER WILL SEE THE NORMAL FILE AS LISTED ABOVE.
(BBS EQP) SHOULD BE A DESCRIPTION OF ALL THE EQUIPMENT YOU ARE
USING TO RUN YOUR BOARD. (ANNOUNCE) SHOULD BE WHERE YOU PLACE ALL
YOUR ANNOUNCEMENTS ABOUT UPCOMING EVENTS ETC. (BBS NUMBERS) SHOULD BE
WHERE YOU PUT A LIST OF ┬┬╙'S THAT ARE ARE IN YOUR AREA. (BBS NAME)
SHOULD BE A SHORT DESCRIPTION OF HOW YOUR ┬┬╙ GOT ITS NAME OR CAME
ABOUT ETC. (HELP) SHOULD BE A FILE WITH A SHORT DESCRIPTION OF HOW TO
OPERATE THE ┬┬╙. (NEWUSER) SHOULD BE A FILE DESCRIBING YOUR RULES FOR
BEING ON THE BOARD ETC. (LOG OFF) CAN BE JUST ABOUT ANYTHING YOU WANT
IT TO BE. ╔ USUALLY KEPT A LIST OF ┬┬╙'S THAT ╔ HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED.
┴S WITH ALL THESE FILES, THESE ARE MERELY SUGGESTIONS AS TO WHAT TO
PUT IN THEM. ╔T'S YOUR ┬┬╙ SO PUT ┴╬┘╘╚╔╬╟ YOU WANT TO IN THEM!! ┴LL
THE FILENAMES SHOULD BE IN LOWERCASE AND SURROUNDED BY PARENTHESES OR
THEY WON'T BE FOUND BY THE PROGRAM.
╬OW A WORD ABOUT HOW TO SET UP THE GENERAL FILES AND PROGRAM
FILES SECTION. ╘HIS CAN GET QUITE CONFUSING SO READ CAREFULLY. ╔N
THE BBS EDITOR, WHEN YOU ARE PROMPTED FOR THE ╟╞'S OR ╨╞'S NAME, ENTER
IT EXACTLY AS YOU WANT THE USER TO SEE IT ON THE ┬┬╙. ┬UT, WHEN YOU
PLACE THE ACTUAL FILE ON DISK, IT ═╒╙╘ BE PRECEDED BY A '('!! ╚ERE'S

300, 1200, AND 2400. ┬╒╘, YES THERE IS A BUT, SOMETIMES IT WILL
ANSWER BUT FOR SOME REASON WILL NOT GET THE CONNECT CODE FROM THE
MODEM. ╔F YOU ARE PRESENT WHEN SOMEONE LOGS ON AND DOESN'T GET THE
'├ONNECT...' MESSAGE RIGHT OFF, THEN DO THIS: ╔F YOU HEAR THAT THE
CALL IS 300, THEN PRESS THE '1' KEY. ╔F YOU HEAR THE CALL IS 1200,
THEN PRESS THE '5' KEY. ╔F YOU HEAR THE CALL IS 2400, THEN PRESS
'╞7.' ╘O HANGUP THE MODEM, PRESS '3' AND TO RETURN TO THE WAITING
SCREEN IMMEDIATELY, PRESS '╞1'. ╘HERE IS A 15 SEC INITIALIZE TIMER
THAT RESETS THE MODEM PROPERLY, SO THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY PROBLEMS IF
YOU ARE GONE. ╓3.9 WILL CONNECT PROPERLY EVERYTIME EXCEPT WHEN THE
┬┬╙ IS 'COLD.' ╘HIS IS WHEN YOU HAVE HAD THE COMPUTER POWER OFF AND
HAVE JUST BOOTED THE ┬┬╙ AND RECEIVED NO CALLS. ╘HE FIRST CALL WILL
NOT CONNECT, HOWEVER, AFTER THE RESET, ALL CALLS WILL CONNECT PROPERLY
UNTIL YOU TURN OFF THE COMPUTER. ┼VEN IF ITS THREE MONTHS BEFORE YOU
TURN IT OFF AGAIN.
├HANGES TO V3.9
╘HE CHANGES ARE ┼╪╘┼╬╙╔╓┼!! ╔ THINK YOU WILL LIKE THEM. ╔'LL GO
OVER THE CHANGES MADE TO V3.9, THERE ARE QUITE A LOT OF THEM AND ╔
HAVE ALREADY MENTIONED SOME OF THEM IN THE TEXT ABOVE.
╞IRST ABOUT THE .CG FILES. ┴S MENTIONED ABOVE, ANY OF THE SEQ
FILES THE USER SEES DURING LOGIN, AT THE MAIN MENU AND LOGOFF CAN NOW
HAVE THE .CG ADDED TO THEM. ╧╬╠┘ ├/╟ CALLERS WILL SEE THESE FILES.
┴╙├╔╔ CALLERS WILL SEE THE REGULAR FILES AS THEY HAVE BEEN IN PREVIOUS
VERSION.
╬OW, FOR THE MENUS ON THE ┬┬╙. ╘HEY CAN NOW HAVE ╙┼╤ FILE
COUNTERPARTS. ┬╒╘, ONLY ├/╟ USERS WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THESE FILES.
┴╙├╔╔ USERS WILL SEE THE SAME MENU THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN PRESENT. ╚ERE
ARE THE NAMES OF ALL THE MENUS YOU CAN HAVE:
(M.MAIN) - ═AIN ═ENU
(M.SUBS) - ╙UB-┬OARDS ╙ECTION
(M.EMAIL) - ╘HIS IS THE LONG SPEECH ABOUT KNOWING A USER'S ╔─#.
(M.RSM) - ╘HE ╥EMOTE ╙YSOP ═ENU
(M.R/EMAIL) - ╘HIS IS THE READ OF EMAIL MENU.
(M.PFILES) - ╨ROGRAM ╞ILES ╙ECTION
(M.STATS) - ╙TATISTICS ═ENU
(M.TRIVIA) - ╘RIVIA ╙UB-╨ROGRAM ═ENU
(M.UDLOAD) - ╒P/─OWNLOADS ═ENU
(M.GFILES) - ╟ENERAL ╞ILES ╙ECTION
╘HE ╙┼╤ MENUS CAN BE TURNED ON AND OFF BY THE ┬┬╙ ┼DITOR. ╔T'S
LOCATED IN THE ─ISK;─RIVE SECTION WHERE YOU SPECIFY THE DEVICE THE
MAIN PROGRAM WILL RESIDE ON.
╙╘/╥ ┬┬╙ V3.9 ─OCS ╨AGE 11.
╘HE NUMBER OF BLOCKS A NEW USER GETS IS IN THE ┬┬╙ ┼DITOR. ┴╠╙╧,
A USER GETS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF BLOCK CREDITS FOR POSTING A MESSAGE!!!
╘HIS IS ALSO SET BY THE ┬┬╙ ┼DITOR. ╔F A USER ╥ESPONDS TO A MESSAGE
WHILE READING, HE/SHE WILL GET ╚┴╠╞ OF THE CREDITS FOR A REGULAR ╨OST.
┴╠╙╧, ╔ HIGHLY SUGGEST NOT LETTING USERS GET AWAY WITH POSTING A 1
LINE MESSAGE TO GET THE CREDITS!! ╘HIS CAN BE A PROBLEM, ONE OF MY
┬ETA TESTERS HAD IT.
╬OW FOR THE CHANGES THAT WERE MADE DIRECTLY TO V3.8 AND V3.9. ╔F
YOU HAVE PAID MUCH ATTENTION TO THINGS, THEN YOU WILL KNOW THAT V3.8
WAS NEVER RELEASED. ╘HIS WAS BECAUSE THERE WERE ONLY A FEW MONTHS
TIME DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO VERSIONS AND THE ┬┬╙ IS ONLY NOW
BUG-FREE ENOUGH FOR ME TO FEEL LIKE RELEASING IT. ╘HE PROGRAM IS NOW
VERY COMPATABLE WITH ╩IFFY─OS. ╙OME OF YOU MIGHT HAVE HAD PROBLEMS
WITH ╩DOS AND V2 OF THE ┼MPIRE, THAT IS NOW FIXED.
╧NE ╬EW THING ADDED TO V3.9 IS ┴UTO-╥UNNING ╨ROGRAM ╞ILES. ╒SING
THE ┬┬╙ ┼DITOR ╚IT '╟' TO GET TO THE ╨FILES AND THEN HIT '─' TO SET
THE AUTO-RUNNING PROGRAMS. ╫HEN ADDING A FILENAME, YOU MUST USE THE
EXACT NAME AS LISTED IN THE ╨FILES SECTION. ╘HEN YOU WILL BE GIVEN A
CHOICE OF ╤UERY/─ATE/═ANDATORY. ╤UERY WILL ASK THE USER IF THEY WISH
TO ENTER THE ╨FILE. (╘HIS OCCURS AT LOG-ON, AFTER READING ┼MAIL, JUST
BEFORE GETTING TO THE ═┴╔╬ PROMPT.) ─ATE ALLOWS YOU TO ENTER A MONTH
AND A DAY. ╔F A USER'S ╠AST ├ALL IS BEFORE THE DATE YOU SET, THEY
WILL GET A MANDATORY RUN OF THE PFILE. ╔F THE DATE IS AFTER THE ONE
YOU SET, THE USER WILL BE ASKED IF THEY WISH TO ENTER THE PFILE, JUST
LIKE ╤UERY. ═ANDATORY WILL THROW THE USER INTO THE PFILE NO MATTER
WHAT! (╚OWEVER, ╙┘╙╧╨ ACCESS IS IMMUNE TO THIS!)
┴LSO, A ╬EW ═ESSAGE ╥EAD FUNCTION THAT WORKS OFF OF THE USERS
╠AST ├ALL ─ATE. ┬ECAUSE OF THIS, THE ╥┼╠ FILE (HIGH MESS) THAT WAS
THE SAME NUMBER OF BLOCKS AS THE (USERFILE) HAS BEEN ELIMINATED. ╘HE
NEW ╥┼╠ FILE, (HIGH1MESS), IS NOW A CONSTANT 32 BLOCKS AND WILL NEVER
CHANGE. ╘HIS ALLOWS FOR ╥EPLIES TO MESSAGES TO BE FLAGGED AS NEW, NOT
JUST NEW POSTS. ┬UT BE FOREWARNED, THERE IS A BUG IN THE NEW MESSAGE
READ FLAG ROUTINE, IF THERE ARE LESS THAN 20 MESSAGES IN A SECTION, A
POST OR RESPONSE WILL ╙╧═┼╘╔═┼╙ FLAG THE WRONG MESSAGE. ╘HIS IS A
MINOR INCONVIENENCE, SO ╔ HAVE RELEASED IT WITH THE BUG STILL THERE.
╔F ANYONE WISHES TO FIND IT, PLEASE LET ME KNOW OF YOUR SUCCESS, ╔
HAVE YET TO TRACE IT. ╔N ORDER TO CREATE THE NEW (HIGH1MESS), YOU CAN
RUN THE ┼DITOR AND USE THE OPTION TO EXPAND THE USERFILE FOR MORE
USERS. ╘HIS WILL CREATE THE NEW ╥┼╠, BUT WON'T KILL ANY OF YOUR OTHER
DATA. ╧NCE YOU HAVE THE ┬┬╙ RUNNING, YOU CAN SCRATCH (HIGH MESS) FROM
YOUR DISK, YOU WON'T BE NEEDING IT ANYMORE.
┴NOTHER ADDITION IS THE FORCED MESSAGE POSTING BEFORE BEING
ALLOWED TO RUN ┴╬┘ ╨ROGRAM ╞ILE. ╘HIS DOES INDEED HELP YOUR MESSAGE
BASES GROW! (╞┴╙╘) ╙TILL, DON'T LET PEOPLE WALK ALL OVER YOU BY
POSTING BLANK MESSAGES AND BLANK ╞EEDBACK. ╘HIS DOES OCCUR IN MY
EXPERIENCE WITH RUNNING THE ┬┬╙, BUT IS EASILY TAKEN CARE OF WITH AN
ACCESS LEVEL CHANGE FOR A FEW DAYS. ┴NY PFILE YOU PUT IN THE ┴UTO-╥UN
SECTION WILL STILL RUN SINCE THE USER HAS NOT HAD A CHANCE TO POST OR
RESPOND, BUT ONCE THE USER HITS THE ═┴╔╬ PROMPT, THE ╨OST/╥ESPOND
REQUIREMENT TAKES AFFECT.
╙╘/╥ ┬┬╙ V3.9 ─OCS ╨AGE 12.
┴NOTHER NICETY ╔ ADDED TO THE PROGRAM IS THE USE OF ┴╬╙╔ COLOR
(NOTE: COLOR AND CURSOR MOVEMENTS ONLY, ╬╧╘ GRAPHICS) BY THE MACHINE
LANGUAGE. ╘HIS IS TOGGELED ON AND OFF AT THE ╙╘┴╘╙ MENU BY HITTING
'╔'. ╔ HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CALL THE ┬┬╙ FROM AN ╔┬═, BELIEVE
ME, IT LOOKS ┴╫┼╙╧═┼! ┘OU CAN TELL YOUR ╔┬═/┴═╔╟┴ USERS THAT IT
SUPPORTS 8 COLORS WITH BOLD, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF 16 COLORS. (╘HESE
ARE ACTUALLY THE SAME 16 COLORS SUPPORTED BY THE 128 IN 80COL MODE!!)
┘ES, ┴═╔╟┴ CALLERS CAN SEE THE ┴╬╙╔ AS WELL WITH ┴╘ALK╔╔╔ SOFTWARE.
╔T HAS AN ┴╬╙╔ EMULATOR BUILT IN. ┴LSO, ├128 CALLERS USING ─ES╘ERM
V1.02 (OR HIGHER) CAN ALSO CALL THE ┬┬╙ IN ┴╬╙╔ MODE TO SEE HOW IT
LOOKS. ╬OVATERM V9.1 AND MY OWN ST/R TERM V1.3 WILL BOTH SEE THE ┴╬╙╔
ON A ├64. ╬OTE: ╘HIS ONLY WORKS ONE WAY. ┴LL COLOR AND CURSOR
MOVEMENTS GENERATED BY THE ┬┬╙ WILL BE TRANSLATED TO ┴╬╙╔; HOWEVER,
INCOMING ┴╬╙╔ WILL NOT BE ACTED UPON. IE. ┴╬╙╔ CURSOR MOVEMENTS IN A
MESSAGE WILL BE SAVED AS SUCH. ╧N A ├OMMODORE IT WILL READ STRANGELY,
BUT IF A USER READS THE MESSAGE IN ┴╬╙╔, THE SEQUENCES WILL BE
INTERPRETED AS NORMAL.
╘HE DOWNLOADS SECTION HAS ONCE AGAIN BEEN RE-DONE! ╙PECIFICALLY,
THE TRANSFER PROTOCOLS ARE BRAND NEW, AND WON'T CRASH THE ┬┬╙! ╔F YOU
HAVE A ├═─ ╚─, YOU WILL ENJOY THE FULL USE OF PARTITIONS AND
SUB-DIRECTORIES. ╨LEASE REFER TO THE DOCUMENTATION FOR THE PROGRAM
(ST/R.UDEDIT ON HOW TO USE THESE GREAT FEATURES. ┼VEN THOUGH ╪ETEC
LOWERED THEIR PRICES, ├═─ IS ┬┘ ╞┴╥ THE ┬┼╙╘ ╚ARD ─RIVE FOR THE 64.
╧NE LAST NOTE ON THE TRANSFER PROTOCOLS. ╙INCE THIS VERSION OF THE
┬┬╙ HAS NO QUALMS ABOUT CONNECTING AT 2400 BAUD, THERE IS STILL THE
PROBLEM OF THE PROTOCOLS ╬╧╘ WORKING AT 2400!!! ╔ AM WORKING ON THIS
AND HOPE TO HAVE IT FIXED SOON.
┘ES, THE ┬┬╙ WILL NOW ANSWER A 2400 BAUD CALL WITH NO PROBLEMS.
╔ HAVE A ╙UPRA═ODEM 2400 AND IT WORKS GREAT! ┘OU WILL NOTICE WHEN YOU
SELECT THE 1670/╚AYES OPTION IN THE ┬┬╙ ┼DITOR, YOU WILL NOW HAVE
CONTROL OVER WHAT THE COMMAND STRING SENT TO THE MODEM IS. ┘OU WILL
HAVE CONTROL OVER THE SPEAKER AND WHICH RING TO ANSWER ON AS WELL AS
ADDING ANY CUSTOM COMMANDS YOUR PARTICULAR MODEM MAY HAVE. ╩UST
REMEMBER, NOT UPLOADING OR DOWNLOADING AT 2400 BAUD.... ╨UNTER WILL
NOT WORK AT 2400; HOWEVER, ╪MODEM AND ╪MODEM 1╦ WILL WORK FINE AT
2400.
╘HIS DOCUMENTATION APPLIES TO ╙╘/╥ ┬┬╙ V3.9. ╘HERE ARE MANY
MAJOR CHANGES FROM V3.7. ┬UT, MOST OF THE CHANGES OR EITHER COSMETIC
OR CODING CHANGES THAT ONLY ENHANCE THE OPERATION OF THE PROGRAM BUT
DO NOT CHANGE ANY COMPATIBILITY WITH V3.7 ITSELF.
