-
- The Story.
-
- The original idea to create a convertor from a nodelist to a Bbs list was
- originally developed by a friend. I decided to use that idea to create
- a colorized, filtering, nodelist conversion program that will support all
- standard nodelists. I worked on this program for days and days, 8-9 hours a
- day, and finally I completed a bug-free program (hopefully). I may have missed
- a bug here and there, I'd appreciate net-mail or something if you find one.
- The program is pretty straight forward and easy to use, but I'll give you a few
- hints on how to use it.
-
- Requirements.
-
- Ok, first of all you need a nodelist. If you don't have one, you shouldn't have
- this program, therefore you need not read any further. When you find your
- nodelist this is what you do:
-
- Operation.
-
- NODE2BBS [Nodelist] [Output Filename] [Filter (Optional)] [/A] [/P]
-
- Nodelist - The path and filename of the nodelist you want to process.
- Output Filename - The filename you want the BBS list to be written to.
- Filter - This is optional, you can enter an area code here and it will
- search the entire nodelist for the specified area code and only
- display them. If you leave this blank, NODE2BBS will list the
- entire nodelist.
- /A - This is optional. If you leave it out, the nodelist will be written in
- standard ascii text. If you use this switch, the bbs list will be
- written with ANSI color codes.
- /P - Send output to the printer along with the screen and file. Optional.
-
- While in the program, there are three function keys you can choose. Pressing
- F1 will toggle the SCREEN color from monochrome mode to Color mode. F2 will
- toggle the FILE OUTPUT ansi codes. This will turn all ansi codes from the file
- output off, and vice versa. F3 will toggle the sound. You will hear a click
- every time a record is written, and a beep here and there. Pressing the space
- bar ANY time during the program, will stop the listing and ask you if you want
- to Stop, Continue, or make Node2Bbs run nonstop.
-
- Registration and other information.
-
- If you need any help at ALL, give me a voice call at 219/696-5310, really,
- its no bother. I don't cripple software because I know people don't like
- crippled software, and because there really was no way to cripple it so
- PLEASE REGISTER. All I ask is $4. When you register I'll upload the latest
- version of NODE2BBS to your Bbs with your name hard coded into the program.
- Every update you want, you can download from Fantasy Island free of any
- charge whatsoever. Thanks again... Brian Ward
-
- Future Plans...
-
- In the future, I hope to have Node2Bbs search for a state name. This won't be
- too hard, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I also plan on having
- Node2Bbs run a little faster. If anyone has any ideas, let me know! I really
- need the good ideas of people, so I can get a really good program out. Help!
-
- Oh yeah, I need a warranty.
