Tattle
Copyright, 1992, Carl Curling
A little program to create a Bulletin or News file
indicating the last message transfers of both
PCRelay(tm) and PostLink(tm) both by Kip Compton.
The program is very simple to set up, and does not require any special
information from your bbs so it should work with any system.
Installation is simple, just create a subdirectory for the file and copy
them to it. I recomend that you place it in a subdirectory named TATTLE
in your PCRelay or PostLink subdirectory. The only requirement for
PostLink is the line LASTTIME.TXT=YES be placed in your POSTLINK.CFG
file so that PostLink will create a Lasttime.txt file.
Now you need to Taylor the TATTLE.CFG file to your System, the first
nine lines are:
1 Carl Curling <-Sysops Name
2 Locksoft BBS <-BBS Name
3 5 <-Reserved for a future version
4 @NOPAUS <-String to place before the Bulletin
5 @PAUSE <-String to place after the bulletin
6 A <- A = ANSI + I = ASCII X = XCODE bulletin
7 NEWS7 <-ASCII or XCODE bulletin Name (add full path)
8 NEWS7G <-ANSI Bulletin (use NUL if none) " " "
9 <-Reserved for a future version
The following lines are for each network:
10 RelayNet International Message Exchange <- First network title
11 LASTTIME.TXT <-Full path and name of lasttime txt file
12 P <- P = Postlink, R = PCRelay
13 <-Reserved
14 <-Reserved
15 GraceNet Christian Message System <-Next Network title
16 lasttime.txt <-Full path and name to next network .txt file
17 R <- R = PCRelay, P = Postlink
18 <-Reserved
19 <-Reserved
Follow this outline of 5 lines per network for each Network up to 10
networks. All of the file names should include the full path to the
destination file ie: C:\GAP\GEN\NEWS7G or D:\POSTLINK\LASTTIME.TXT
Line 6 determines what kind of file to create. IF you decide to print
only an ASCII file then set line 6 to I and line 8 to NUL Setting line
6 to X will create a Gap or PCBoard compatable Xcode bulletin using the
filename in line 7 for the output file. Setting line 6 to A will create
an ASCII code output file using line 7 and an ANSI output file using
line 8. The reserved blank lines MUST appear in the config file.
There is a sample TATTLE.CFG file included with this program.
To run the program simply change to the subdirectory that you placed
these files and type: TATTLE
CD \POSTLINK\TATTLE
TATTLE
CD \
