Featuring Alley-Wall version 2.0 (C) David Pabst 1990-1992
All Rights Reserved
Alley-Wall is the most advanced, easiest to use, friendliest, and
most direct way to post public bulletins (graffiti) to the
bulletin board users. These are some of the advantages of using
Alley-Wall over the next "graffiti" wall competitor:
Ansi and ASCII Visual Support
Alley-Wall uses both ANSI and ASCII menus, bulletins, help
files, etc... Alley-Wall generates an ANSI bulletin for color
users and an ASCII bulletin for non-IBM computers or slow
modem users. Alley-Wall also stamps the time and date of when
the bulletins were reset (created). * Users now can set
colors in their bulletins to whatever appeals to them!!! *
Intelligent Programming That Keeps Sysop "House Cleaning" Easy
Alley-Wall can be set to allow a maximum number of entries on
the Alley-Wall at one time. For instance, if you set the
maximum number for 25, and the 26th is entered; Alley-Wall
will remove the oldest entry, thus making only 25 entries on
it.
New Entries Can Place Themselves In Two Ways
Alley-Wall allows the sysop to have new entries to be placed
at the beginning of the bulletins (On top), or to have new
entries appended on to the end (This was how all previous
versions of Alley-Wall worked)
Easy To Use Menus
Alley-Wall has friendly, colorful menus. These menus can be
interrupted by the user by typing ^K at any time. Just as
easy as it was interrupted they can be displayed again using
the ? key. There are two sets of menus which include ASCII
and ANSI versions: the Sysop menus, and the user menus.
An Advanced Setup Program
A new interface was designed solely for programs written by
me. I incorporated the new interface in the setup program
for Alley-Wall.
Ease Of Use
Just hit a key, and the Alley-Wall does its thing. No hard
commands to learn, no cryptic ancient languages, and a quick
familiarization time.
Flexibility
Any of the bulletins can be edited using a text editor or an
ANSI editor such as TheDraw.
SysOp Commands
System Operators have special commands just for them to use.
Such as Kill Alley-Wall Files, See Who Posted What, etc...
Special Lock Out System
For trouble makers! The SysOp can lock them out of the door
using a special utility that is included with Alley-Wall.
This lock out system can also shut down the door for
temporary purposes.
