Quality WWIV Utilities/Modifications by Tolkien 1@3456 Include:
Program Description
------------- -------------------------------------------------------------
ALLOW This package comprises a small modification along with two
executables. What it is, is the fastest, most versatile,
and easiest to install dupe- or trash-file search mod
ever made for WWIV.
BBSLST External BBS list program. Can be used to externalize the
internal code or run as a chain. Supports multiple BBS
types (FIDO, PCBOARD, QBBS, etc).
CHECK Virus-scanning and zip-(un)commenting upload event utility
for WWIV.
DOSEMUL Dos emulation at logon. Useful for scaring people or allowing
people some access to the system without logging on
completely.
EGAVGA Throws your system into condensed-line mode if you have an
EGA or VGA monitor. Can be used to run the BBS in these
modes (though some external programs will switch the BBS
to 25-line mode).
ENHANCE A great many nice enhancement functions for WWIV 4.20 or
higher. Fully documented source, with examples.
ESM External Strings Manager. Modification and datafile editor.
Reduces data segment (DGROUP) usage in WWIV. Small
registration fee.
FROMFIX Properizes user name and address in the USER.LST file, for
case-sensitive sysops.
LOOK Allows one to view files with WWIV ^P codes with their proper
colors, from DOS.
MINDISK Modification to minimize WWIV disk I/O on WWIV, versions 4.20
and higher.
NEWFL NewFile. Allows you to make specific files on your BBS *always*
show up as new (the latest version of PKZIP would be a good
example).
NOISE Allows you to add interesting local noises in the code to
inform you when a caller performs a specific actions (we have
a newuser noise and a xfer access noise, for example).
OMRCASE Add a main menu selection for running an offline mail reader
for WWIV.
PKSCN PackScan, a WWIVNet NETWORK2 preprocessor. Tells you what
was in each network packet that you receive on your
board. Fast, colorful, and informative. Supports WWIVLink
as well.
REMAVAL Allows a remote sysop the same auto-validation functionality
of the local Alt-F-keys when in uedit. Extremely useful for
remote validating sysops and cosysops.
RR Russian Roulette chain for WWIV. This one actually hangs up
the phone properly when someone loses and works with all
modems, including high-speed modems.
SSM Editor for the WWIV SMW.DAT file (which stores the little
short messages people receive when someone reads their
mail). Allows you to readdress the messages, purge them,
or enter new ones. Has a "fix" ability for cleaning out
corrupt short messages.
STRNG Library of string-manipulation functions for WWIV. Some of
these are *highly* useful. All are simple to use and
well-documented.
TAM Transfer Area Manager. Allows uncommenting, virus-scanning,
and much, much more. Attractive windowed interface. Easy
to use.
UEDIT Editor for the WWIV USER.LST file. Has a great number of
capabilities, including swapping user accounts, global
color redefinition, versatile search functions, and editing
of nearly all the fields in the userrec structure, as well
as support for FROM and 64 message bases. Small registration
fee. Now supports mouse and EGA/VGA video modes.
XMSEMS Modification to allow WWIV to use extended or expanded memory
for overlay loading. Nice for reducing BBS.EXE memory
requirements. Savings of about 45k or so are normal.
ZLOG External ZLOG viewer. Can replace the internal code or
supplement it.

All of these files are available here at The Fellowship, WWIVnet @3456, at
314-644-5777. We are 2400 now but expect to be v.32/v.32bis-compatible in
the very near future.
To the above listed names will be the addition of a version number. So, on
our board if you wish to download, for instance, the latest version of
UEDIT, simply do a "S"earch for UEDIT*.* and you will be shown the location
of the latest version. Use the "S"earch similarly for the other programs
to locate what you need.
None of these programs are in any way "crippleware". Those that require
registration count on your honesty and may or may not have a shareware
screen at startup or after program termination. Those that do not require
any registration fee (most of them) do not have any such message.
None of these programs may be modified but may be freely distributed if
they are left unmodified. All executables are PKLite'd except those that
have overlays that interfere.
