│ INTRODUCTION │
└────────────────────────────┘
WS-TODAY is a simple screen generator for the TriBBS bulletin
board system. However, it can be used on other BBS types that use the
@-color codes. It quickly and easily generates a LOGON, GOODBYE or a
BULLETIN screen using @X-color codes.
The @X-codes are interepreted by TriBBS and will display things such
as color or pauses or clearing the screen. This is the neat part
about it:
If the caller has ANSI, TriBBS will send color (the @X-codes)...if not,
TriBBS will filter out the @X-codes and the caller see's just an ASCII
screen.
WS-TODAY has been tested on TriBBS v5.11 and v11.1.
