WWIV News, Copyright (C) 1989, Joe Tingiris.
WWIV News is a rather simple program that will create a newsletter
and allow updates in the standard 'Paper' form. It was written
exclusively for WWIV v4. It has been fully tested and debugged
before release, however if you encounter something, leave me
Email on my BBS or Amber, and I'll try to get back to you.
Usage:
There are only two command line parameters that you should be
familiar with.
1. /B - This will make WWIV News beep three times when a user
logs on. I find it useful because I don't hook a
regular phone up to my BBS line, and when the monitor
is off, I know someone has logged on.
2. /A - This will activate the News Editor.
WWIV News Editor:
The editor is rather simple, but it houses a few useful utilities.
It will automatically place the Date, and Time you edited the
current news at the top cut. Following is your news, and all
previous news you've written. The newest news will always be
at the top of the file so people don't have to read the entire
newsletter to find out what's up.
Column Width - This prompts you as to how WIDE you want the
form to be. 40 or 80 columns. If you choose
80 columns, the textfile created will have the
tractor feed up to the 79th col. If you choose
40 columns, the file will be cut at the 39th col.
Well, 'tis about it I guess. Not much, but it's a useful and easy way
to create a newsletter for your BBS. If you have any ideas or suggestions,
I'm always willing to listen.
