CopyRights : None. Hereby donated to Public domain
Author : Gerhard Hoogterp
Version : 3.4
Released : 01 Mar 1993
Important:
You have to recompile old cookie files. This version has a file added in the
header so it became incompatible..
What is it:
Well, cookie is just an other fortune cookie showdoor. I wrote it after
seeing a RA sysop stumbling around with a type 15 utilitie to show a
fortune cookie every time a user passed the main menu.
How to use it:
Simple, make a Type 7 menuentry somewhere. (Maybe an automatic executed one)
Put
Cookie.exe -JUM:<FileName> [-P:*P] [-N:*N]
In the optional data field and there you go.
The *.JUM file is expected to be in the same directory as from where the
program was started. Buf if you like you can use the environment variable
'COOKIES' to point to an other directory.
When used on a multiline BBS you must load share. Cookie keeps a counter in
the datafile (*.JUM file) and uses recordlocking to avoid problems.
It also reads the config.ra and the exitinfo.bbs so make use you have
the 'RA' environment variable set.
Cookie uses ANSI when the user has his ANSI toggle ON, or avatar for that
matter...
What else:
You can also make your own cookie files. Simply make a textfile,
with an empty line between the cookies. Every cookie can be up to
10 lines, each maximal 79 characters.
Start the file with a title for your cookies behind an %. f.e.:
%Demo cookies
Coo
Coo
Cooky 1
Coooo
coooo
coooookie2
etc.
Version 3.x Also adds a complete new feature to Fortune cookie doors!!
Bonus cookies!! If you are one of those sysop who like to give the users
a option to win extra time or an extra (FREE) upload, read on!
For extra time, just add a line saying +T<Minutes> to the cookie. f.e.
WOW! HE! you.... YES YOU! You're the lucky winner of a real, tastefull,
hard to get, but wanted by everybody BONUS cookie... Yeah!
You get a real 2 extra, free minutes online time today!
Thanks and other emotional responses can be send to the SysOp of this
BBS....
+T2
You can also grand the user a free upload, Nice when you have a ratio
system... This works the same, just add +F to the cookie, Here there's
no count, only 1 single upload is granted!
After you created the data file, you must compile it with BakeThem
BakeThem has the syntax:
BakeThem <FileName>
Enjoy!
Gerhard.
