■ What's New:
Release 2: Fixed line-overwrite bug when entering a MaxMsg.
Added "Delete MaxMsg" option.
■ Overview
MaxMsg is a module designed to let Maximus users view and edit a message
which will be displayed to all users when they logon, a function important when
you are advertising a new BBS or have some other information you want to be
sure that all users see, rather than writing a message which will not always
get through to everyone. It even keeps a log file of who does what, for the
SysOp's convenience.
■ Setup
MaxMsg is relatively easy to set up. First, make a menu option like this
one in your MENUS.CTL file:
Display_File Misc\MaxMsg Disgrace "!MaxMsg"
...or however you want it in your menus. The next step is to put this line
somewhere in your logon process so users will see it when they log on:
[link]MMsg
Then recompile your menus and .MEC file(s) with SILT and MECCA, and it's
ready to go!
■ Warranty
None.
■ MaxMsg Commands
Here is a list of functions available to users from the MaxMsg Menu:
Read Current MaxMsg - View the current MaxMsg
Write a new MaxMsg - Write a new MaxMsg to all users
* MaxMsg Log - Allows the SysOp to view MaxMsg log file
* Delete MaxMsg - Lets a SysOp delete the message
* - Option only available to SysOp
■ Note from the Author
Thanks for taking the time to view this doc. I worked rather hard on the
program included here, and your support is appreciated. If you have any
problems or suggestions, leave me a note in most FidoNet Maximus-related
echoes. And watch for future releases!!
* You are free to modify this program to your liking, as long as it is only
distributed in its true, unmodified form!
