ReadMe file for NewsFlash V0.25 upgrade
=======================================
Should have the following files. Copy the files into their relevent
directorys (shown below).
!RunImage - !NewsFlash.!RunImage
Templates - !NewsFlash.Templates
NewsFlash - !NewsFlash.Modules.NewsFlash
ArcBBSEm - !NewsFlash.Modules.ArcBBSEm
You should also have the following scripts:
MessBase - Example message base library script.
Messages - Example message base menu.
Gloop - (Example?) Game
The 'MessBase' library contains the following SUB's:
SCANPRIVATEMAIL - Scan for all mail addressed to user
NEWMAREA - Allow the user to change message area
SHOWMESSAGE - Will display the message 'messagenum%'
VIEWMAIL - Will let the user read (and reply to)
mail in the current message area.
QUICKSCAN - Produce a list of messages in the
current area (note: the user may see
private mail not address to him/her).
The gloop game is just to demonstrate the sheer power (??) of NewsFlash's
script language. Simply RUN the gloop script to play the game. It is
controlled by Z and /. Escape quits.
You will need to re-compile your scripts (with the compiler provided) in
order for them to be compatible with this upgrade. You will also need to
change all READAREA commands to READFAREA commands in your existing scripts,
otherwise the compiler will generate an error.
