NeXt
Sysop Next Utility for RemoteAccess
Version 2.01 May 26, 1992
(C) Copyright Victor Magdic 1991,1992
All Rights Reserved
===================================================================
Description
===========
NeXt is a utility for RemoteAccess which allows you to toggle the
status of the "sysop next" flag even though the user is outside of
the BBS (i.e. he/she is running a door or some other external program).
NeXt works by toggling the sysop next flag in the user's EXITINFO.BBS
(which is generated whenever RA calls a door). When the user returns
from the door, RA reads in the EXITINFO.BBS and sets the internal "sysop
next" flag to whatever the setting in EXITINFO.BBS is.
NeXt is written for RA 1.10/1.11. It should work with future versions,
so long as the format of the EXITINFO.BBS file does not change.
Note: In order for RA's "sysop next" feature to work, you need to have
a registered version of RemoteAccess. NeXt will toggle the flag
even if your version of RA is unregistered, however; RA will
just ignore it.
How much does it cost?
======================
This utility is FREE! If you like it you can continue to use it
for as long as you like free of charge!
If you do decide to use it, I would be excited to hear from you !!
I encourage you to send me a postcard at the address listed below (see
the end of this text file). It will cost you practically nothing, and
will let me know you're enjoying the program. It will also give me
incentive to keep improving the program and make it even better!
How to Use NeXt
===============
NeXt is intended to be used with a multitasker. Essentially what you
do is open another window (while the user is online and in a door),
and run NEXT.EXE, then just close the window. You can setup up your
window to automate the whole process. NeXt requires approximately 22k
to run, so the window does not have to be large.
NeXt looks in the current directory for EXITINFO.BBS. So you can
easily use NeXt on a multinode system by putting NEXT.EXE somewhere in
your path and executing it from the appropriate Node directory.
There are no command line options, just run NEXT.EXE to *toggle* the
status of the sysop next flag (i.e. if the flag is on, NeXt will turn it
off, and vice versa).

properly on your system.
