  └══════════════════┴┘

This is the mod you need to execute the Logicom Voting Booth from inside WWIV,
if you don't have this utility and are using the voting system, you should
get it on your local support board or call Alternative Worlds to get the
newest version. Unregistered copies are not crippled.

Revision A:

    Done by Unca Scrooge, support multi-instance drop files.



───[Step 1]────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

   Load BBS.C and do the following changes to void mainmenu(void)

= void mainmenu(void)
= {
=  char *s, s1[81], s2[81], ch, tl1[81];
*  int i, ac, it1, t,dv,win,i1,abort; // Add i1
=  long l;
=  userrec u;

───[Step 2]────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  Change the command line for VOTEPRINT in void mainmenu...

=    if (strcmp(s,"VOTEPRINT")==0) {
=      write_inst(INST_LOC_VOTEPRINT,0,INST_FLAGS_ONLINE);
+     if (instance>1)
+        sprintf(s1,"VOTE.EXE CHAIN.%3.3d /V",instance);
+      else
+        strcpy(s1,"VOTE.EXE CHAIN.TXT /V");
*      full_external(s1,0,1);
=    }


  Still in void mainmenu, change to void 'V' to this one

=      case 'V':
=        write_inst(INST_LOC_VOTE,0,INST_FLAGS_ONLINE);
+        if (!(restrict_vote & thisuser.restrict)) {
+          i1=topdata;
+          topdata=0;
+          topscreen();
+          if (instance>1)
+            sprintf(s1,"VOTE.EXE CHAIN.%3.3d /O",instance);
+          else
+            strcpy(s1,"VOTE.EXE CHAIN.TXT /O");
+          full_external(s1,0,1);
+          topdata=i1;
+          topscreen();
+        }
=        break;
=      case 'W':

───[Step 3]────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Load LILO.C and to the following change in void logon

=  batchtime=0.0;
=  numbatchdl=numbatch=0;
+  if (!(restrict_vote & thisuser.restrict) &&
+      (actsl>10) &&
+      (live_user)) {
+    if (instance>1)
+      sprintf(s1,"VOTE.EXE CHAIN.%3.3d /L",instance);
+    else
+      strcpy(s1,"VOTE.EXE CHAIN.TXT /L");
+    create_chain_file();
+    full_external(s1,0,1);
+    topscreen();
+  }

───[Step 4]────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  Load MISCCMD.C, and delete the following voids:

void print_quest(void);
void vote_question(void);
void vote(void);

───[Step 5]────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  Load UEDIT.C, and do the following changes to void uedit

=          delmail(f,i);
=        }
=      }
=    }
=    close(f);
-    sprintf(fn,"%sVOTING.DAT",syscfg.datadir);
-    f=open(fn,O_RDWR | O_BINARY, S_IREAD | S_IWRITE);
-    n=(int) (filelength(f) / sizeof(votingrec)) -1;
-    for (i=0; i<20; i++)
-      if (u.votes[i]) {
-        if (i<=n) {
-          lseek(f,((long) i) * sizeof(votingrec), SEEK_SET);
-          read(f,(void *)&v,sizeof(votingrec));
-          vr=v.responses[u.votes[i]-1];
-          vr.numresponses--;
-          v.responses[u.votes[i]-1]=vr;
-          lseek(f,((long) i) * sizeof(votingrec), SEEK_SET);
-          write(f,(void *)&v,sizeof(votingrec));
-        }
-        u.votes[i]=0;
-      }
=    write_user(un,&u);
-    close(f);
=  }

───[Step 6]────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  Load VOTEEDIT.C and delete the following voids

void print_quests(void);
void set_question(void);
void voteprint(void);

  And remplace void ivotes with the following one:

void ivotes(void)
{
  char s1[101];
  int i;

  i=topdata;
  topdata=0;
  create_chain_file();
  topscreen();
  if (instance>1)
    sprintf(s1,"VOTE.EXE CHAIN.%3.3d /S",instance);
  else
    strcpy(s1,"VOTE.EXE CHAIN.TXT /S");

  full_external(s1,0,1);
  topdata=i;
  topscreen();
}

───[Step 7]────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Load XINIT.C and delete the following void:

void read_voting(void);

And delete the following line in void init:

- read_voting();

───[Step 8]────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Load VARS.H and delete "questused[20]"

───[Step 9]────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Time to build FCNS.H, of course the easiest way to do it is to do "MAKE FCNS"
and it will be done automaticaly.

───[Step 10]───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Compile the entire board, put VOTE.EXE in your main WWIV directory, and
everything should work fine.
