Smess Version 1.2
S&M Shareware
Created By Mike Allstott
Introduction
-----------
Smess is a utility will take messages from Scrabble Door <by
Christopher Hall> and/or SD Maintenance and insert them into your TriBBS
message base. After inserting them it will delete them from your scrabble
directory. This program has been developed with the help of Trisoft's
TriBBS API Developed By Mark, of course.
Disclaimer

This software is provided "As Is". All responsibility and risk, in
installing and running this program and its associated files, is taken on
completely by the person using this software. This software comes without
any warranty, expressed or implied. If you do not agree with the above,
please don't use this software.
Registration
------------
Smess is shareware. It is 100% usable unregistered. Registration
will remove NAG message and get you my gratitude. It's just a small
utility some I'm asking a small price, $5.00. That's it. Your receive a
key code via Stephanie's Nightmare BBS or US postal. This key will work
for all future upgrades.
Installation
-----------
Set up is simple. Put SMESS.EXE and SMESS.CFG in your TriBBS
Node 1 directory. Also put SMESS_SD.EXE if you are useing messages made
by SDMAINT.EXE (These will be named SDMSG.*) It will not work from any
other directory.
Edit the inclosed "SMESS.CFG" to reflect:
0 Registration code or "0" if unregistered
Mike Sysop first name
Allstott Sysop last name
D:\tribbs Path to your Main TriBBS directory
D:\scrabble Path to your scrabble directory
1 Conference area number to import messages to
Next Edit the file "message" in your scrabble directory. %NAME MUST
be the first word on the first line in this file. ^^^^
If you are useing SD Maintenance you must edit both "SDWARN.TXT" and
"SDACTION.TXT". Again %NAME MUST be the the firse word on the first
line.
Then setup the batch file to Scrabble to start SMESS.exe and SMESS_SD.EXE
after returning to your TriBBS directory and before starting BOARD.BAT.
Both programs can also be ran manually from you TriBBS directory command
prompt.
Multi-Node BBSs, S-Mess can be very erratic if accessed by two nodes at
the same time. Since S-Mess runs in just a couple seconds it's not very
likely that that would be a problem (unless maybe if you had 100 nodes).
Just to be on the safe side (and for those that have 100+ nodes) the
following is a sample of the batch file I use. It will allow the program
to be accessed by one node at a time only.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
rem Node 2 Scrabble Bat
cd\scrab : Scrabble Directory
scrabdor scrab2.cfg : Run scrabble
cd\tribbs : Node 1 directory
if exist smess.wrk goto end : See if S-Mess is in use
echo inwork > smess.wrk : Block other nodes access
SMESS : Run Smess
SMESS_SD : Run SMESS_SD to import SDmaint txt files.
del smess.wrk : Allow other nodes access
cd\tri2 : 2 directory
board : and return to TriBBS
