Date: 4-17-92 v1.0
Date: 6-23-92 v1.0 - mod to docs
Have you ever been on a BBS and wanted to send a message to someone and
forgot or didn't know how to spell their name? This merge gives a user
the ability to enter a search string as short as 2 characters whereby all
names which contain this search string will be displayed. The user will be
prompted with each name whether this is the person he/she wishes to send a
message to.
This merge was broken out of the Maple Street RBBS code and further
modified to work with v17.3c. In addition to searching the users file for a
string and displaying users names which contain the string, I have added the
ability to abort the search when quiried and disabled the entering of a blank
space as the first character of the search string. This gives the user the
ability to abort as each name is shown. Prior to this change, the only way to
abort was to answer "yes" (to send a message to the person shown) and then
abort the message.
As with all my modifications, I recommend that you merge this code in by hand
if you have installed any merges which have accessed the same line numbers as
this merge. If you have not installed any such merge, then you can use
Ken Goosens BLED v2.2 to install this merge. A batch file is included to
perform this task for you. There are no modifications of the RBBS-VAR file
for this merge.
Files included are:
RSB2PEEK.MRG - mod file for RBBSSUB2.BAS
PEEK173C.DOC - this document
PEEK173C.BAT - batch file to use BLED v2.2
Please let me know how this modification has worked out for you. And thank
you "DD", whoever you are, for the original code for this mod.
6-23-92 - I found out that "DD" is Dan Drinnon who has written many great
mods for RBBS. Thanks Dan for all your effort. Dan's BBS can be reached at
505-763-1795.
