Here is an explanation of the file naming I did for the menus.
I have 8 sets of menus, each named MENU.TS?. Each set is designated by
the number at the end (i.e. menu set 1 is MENU.TS1). The Regular user
menus are labeled MAIN1.xxx, the Newuser menus are MAIN2.xxx and the
Sysop menus are MAIN9.xxx. Only the Main menu has specific Newuser
menus since I use a callback verifier. The File and Message menus are
just for Regular users and Sysop (FILE1.xxx and FILE9.xxx, etc.). I use
a simple batch file that copies each set of menus in for a different
day. Menu set #9 is an older set that I no longer use. Here is a batch
file example of a typical copy: (MENU1.BAT)
copy \wc30\testmenu\main2.ts1 \wc30\menu\main1.scr
copy \wc30\testmenu\main1.ts1 \wc30\menu\main3.scr
copy \wc30\testmenu\main1.ts1 \wc30\menu\main5.scr
copy \wc30\testmenu\main1.ts1 \wc30\menu\main7.scr
copy \wc30\testmenu\main9.ts1 \wc30\menu\main9.scr
copy \wc30\testmenu\msg1.ts1 \wc30\menu\msg1.scr
copy \wc30\testmenu\msg1.ts1 \wc30\menu\msg3.scr
copy \wc30\testmenu\msg1.ts1 \wc30\menu\msg5.scr
copy \wc30\testmenu\msg1.ts1 \wc30\menu\msg7.scr
copy \wc30\testmenu\msg9.ts1 \wc30\menu\msg9.scr
copy \wc30\testmenu\file1.ts1 \wc30\menu\file1.scr
copy \wc30\testmenu\file1.ts1 \wc30\menu\file3.scr
copy \wc30\testmenu\file1.ts1 \wc30\menu\file5.scr
copy \wc30\testmenu\file1.ts1 \wc30\menu\file7.scr
copy \wc30\testmenu\file9.ts1 \wc30\menu\file9.scr
cat.bat *only if you terminate on your events*
I use a different batch file each day to copy a different set in. The
only difference is the last number in the file extension (i.e.
MAIN1.TS1, MAIN2.TS2, etc.).
The HELLO1 screen is about as packed with ANSI as it'll get. Adding
more will truncate the ANSI escape codes in the large letters. At least
there is something there to work with. HELLO2 can be used for special
announcements, or whatever, if not used as I have.
The GOODBYE screens are not my design, but modified. Wish I could give
credit where its due.
The SECURITY screen was designed by Mike Ortiz of Topeka, KS. This one
caught my eye and I'm sure it will yours as well! I made slight changes
to his original so that it would reflect an Expiration Date and include
Computer type and Protocol. You can see his work on The Software
Connection at (912) 271-2071.
I have also included a CATSCAN screen for those of you that have a
registered version of it. This is one that I modified from the one that
comes with the CATSCAN release.
Menu sets #2 and #4 are not my design, but modifications of some that I
found on the Mustang Software Wildcat HQ in Bakersfield, CA. Again,
don't know the authors, but wish I did!
Hope this gives you some ideas for your own display screens!
