Ok, here is some extra info for SBBS v1.11 sysops.
Here are some points especialy for SBBS usage:
- You should put the variable BBS=SBBS in your environment.
(Set BBS=SBBS)
As I didn't find a decent way yet to recognice the BBS which
is running the door. (Ra sysops can also use BBS=RA, but since
I'm an RA sysop myself thatone is the default..)
- SBBS sysops have to add the *E parameter if they want to use the
sysop-keys inside the door. (That is, you can use them inside the
door anyhow, but without the *E adjusting time and such wouldn't
be passed back to the BBS)
- Since AVATAR isn't supported by SBBS it cannot be selected while
running SBBS.
All the other functions are supported though.
- Language support for SBBS systems works like this:
* The door looks into the userinfo to see which language file is
selected.
* The first 3 characters of the language filename are used as an
extention for the language file which should be found in the
doors home directory (i.e. the directory where the EXE is OR
the directory where the <DOORNAME>= environment variable points
too.
f.e. The user has selected the HOLLANDS.LGN file. The doors (Say NEWS)
looks for a language file with the name NEWS.HOL (and also the helpfile
NEWSHELP.HOL) This file should be in the directory where the NEWS=
environment variable points to OR (if you don't use the environment var)
in the same directory as the EXE file.
On the other side, all the DesqView and multiline functions should work.
To detect Multiline I check the configfile for the number of lines.
If the number is >1, multiline is turned on and share is supposed to be
there.
