Description=This Is Todays Very Hot News Item!
;
[TEXT]
This file is an example of a News Item that can be used
in combination with FSLOGIN version 2.20 or later. News
Items can be used to inform your users of particular
events, like planned server downtime, availability of
new software and the like.
There are two levels of news that can be presented to
the users. The first level is the News Item that is
placed in the SYS:LOGIN directory and is, by nature of
the SYS:LOGIN directory, available for all users. This
News Item can be presented the moment FSLOGIN is
started at a workstation.
The second level News Item is the one that is placed in
the SYS:PUBLIC directory of a server. This News Item
can be used to inform users on a particular server
only. The News Item in the SYS:PUBLIC directory can be
presented when a user has entered a valid
userid/password.
The presentation of the News Items can be restricted
within the bounds of a Release date and time and a
Revoke date and time. These parameters make it possible
to prepare a News Item which should be released on a
certain date and time. And like all the news its old
after a while. The Revoke date and time parameters can
be used to plan for a certain date and time when the
News Item no longer is meaningful.
The values for ReleaseDate and RevokeDate should be
YYYY-MM-DD. The values for ReleaseTime and RevokeTime
should be HH:MM. The Description string is mandatory.
The text block between the labels [TEXT] and [ENDTEXT]
is mandatory as well.
