"Experience the Doveware difference!"
DUPLEX is an alternate chat program for virtually any BBS
program. If the user has VT-52 terminal capabilities, DUPLEX will
divide the screen in half, and allow the sysop to type on the top, and
the user to type on the bottom, WHILE BOTH PEOPLE ARE TYPING AT THE
SAME TIME!
To install DUPLEX, simply indicate to your BBS program DUPLEX's
existance, QuickBBS/ST offers external chat support, but on any other
BBS, you're on your own! A note to Forem users, however, I have been
told that when your rename DUPLEX18.PRG to CHAT.PRG, you may use it
with the package BILLTRAP that can be found on many BBSs, such as the
GreySTone BBS, (201)362-8966. Hopefully, this works with Duplex 2.1,
although I haven't tried it. Please experiment with this program, and
let me know what the results are! I'd also like to know if you have
any suggestions for future releases of DUPLEX.
The configuration file is somewhat self explanatory, however,
there are a few points that should be covered. The line indicating
"DEFAULT PAGE TUNE" should be filled in with an XBIOS(32) compatible
song, such as CTYROADS.MUS. If you do not know where to find files
such as this, download BTUNES.LZH from the GreySTone BBS, who's number
can be found else where in this document. Another line that refers to
custom paging is the location of the D_TUNES.INF file. The D_TUNES.INF
file allows QuickBBS ONLY systems to have a different tune for each
user. Construction of this file is simple:
{User's name}
{Drive, path, filename of .MUS file}
Confused? Here's a sample:
Mason Taube
c:\tunes\CTYROADS.MUS
Mark Chase
c:\tunes\WOW.MUS
Bill Hart
c:\tunes\OUCH.MUS
Mark Rotten
c:\tunes\ROT_EGGS.MUS
This file could go on, and on... If DUPLEX! doesn't find the current
user's name in the D_TUNES.INF file, it will use the default page
tune.
If you use this program, and find it useful, a donation of $5 to
$15 would be GREATLY appreciated.
