- What's NEW with v1.03 * Simplistic Documentation
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- ·1· MTAC v1.02 enabled the ability for the user to sign their message
- with their BBS alias but it got the alias from EXITINFO.BBS and a
- few Registered users had a problem with this because they used MTAC
- with other software than RemoteAccess. Well, it's fixed! NOW you
- simply copy DOOR.SYS to the MTAC.EXE directory and run MTAC..
- MTAC will now get the alias from DOOR.SYS!
-
- To Setup:
- Copy all files of MTAC into any directory you choose.
- Edit a batch file for MTAC.
- Example:
- @ECHO OFF
- CD\RA\DOORS\MTAC
- COPY C:\RA\DOOR.SYS
- MTAC
- DEL DOOR.SYS
- COPY /Y MTAC.ANS C:\RA\TXTFILES > nul
- COPY /Y MTAC.ASC C:\RA\TXTFILES > nul
- CD\RA
- Exit
-
- Use a Type 7 Exit from RemoteAccess and for your "Optional Data"
- line, use: *C /C MTAC.BAT *M
-
- Then somewhere on your TOP menu or wherever you like, display
- the MTAC messages. <CR> is built in to MTAC's messages so use
- a (Type 5) to display the screens. That's it!
-
- ·2· Parameter String 1 <Path to DOOR.SYS, DORINFO1.DEF, EXITINFO.BBS>
- has been completely removed. Now you must copy only DOOR.SYS to
- the directory that MTAC.EXE resides.
-
- ·3· Pipe Color Codes are now available!
- Just use a |## to change the color of any individual letter or word.
- E.g.- (Writing in WHITE as selected before the editor appears)
-
- [ This is a |11TEST|15.. ]
-
- This would start out in the color you choose to write in which I said
- is WHITE. Then write in WHITE until it reads |11 which is for BRIGHT
- CYAN. The word TEST would be in BRIGHT CYAN before it is reset to
- WHITE with the |15 Pipe Code.
-
- Color Codes are the same as in TheDraw with #01 - #15 ..
-
- *** NOTE ***
- MTAC reads the pipe codes as spaces. Therefore if you choose to
- CENTER your message, the line with the pipe codes will be off by
- the amount of color codes you used.
-
- Just be advised that if you use the color codes or a user uses them,
- that it will NOT be centered properly. It's NOT a bug. It's two
- separate features for two separate types of people but to gain one
- thing, you have to sacrifice another at times...
-
- ·4· MTAC will now read the user's BBS Alias and allow them to quickly
- sign their message with their BBS Alias if they wish. If they do not
- wish to use their BBS Alias, they can still "Pick An Alias"...
-
- ·5· I've removed the "So and so Wrote the Following Message to You.."
- prompt.
-
- It now uses EMOTIONS! There are 2 ways these are used.
- A. The user can Personalize their Emotions and I've made this a very
- generous amount. It can be nice and long if you word it right.
-
- B. If the user doesn't wish to Personalize their Emotions, the program
- will make a RANDOM selection with over 1,000 combinations to choose
- from.
-
- ·6· ASCii users may not choose what border type they'd like. It's HIGHLY
- possible that IF there's another release of this program that I may
- take out ASCii support all together. The editor in ASCii mode stinks
- bad, but I think ASCii itself stinks and I'm seriously leaning toward
- writing ANSi only doors and/or utilities.
-
- That's about it. Much thanks to those of you that registered.
- I hope you enjoy this release.
