Cerebrum's WWIV Instance Updater v0.90
This is a quick hack to manipulate the WWIV instance record externally to the
BBS. I wanted something that would show there was activity on my external
Fidonet mailer, instead of it always showing "Instance Down".
The program is inherently limited to instance locations defined in VARDEC.H.
One could easily add additional locations there and, if supported by the BBS,
they will be properly registered here and by the //WHO command on-line.
Just run "INSTANCE [Location]" from the DOS prompt. The program must be run
from the WWIV main directory or the "WWIV_DIR" variable must be set in the
environment to point to the BBS, e.g. "SET WWIV_DIR=C:\WWIV".
Commonly used locations are:
65535 : WFC
6 : Network Call
9 : External Event
22 : DOS Shell
46 : Terminal Program
Again, you may use any location defined in VARDEC.H to "fool" users to think
someone's on the BBS, but...
As usual, support from:
