Short: Replacement "WHO" Command for CNet Amiga
Author: dotoran@buffnet.net (david weeks)
Uploader: dotoran@buffnet.net (david weeks)
Version: 2.51
Type: comm/cnet
Replace: aminet/comm/cnet/cnet_who.lha
Requires: AmigaOS, 2.x/3.x & CNet Amiga, v3.05c
Distribution: anywhere, everywhere, please mirror!
This is the WHO replacement package you've been waiting for! Especially
if you're a multi-line SysOp, as these are the FIRST EVER external WHO files
that EXACTLY MIMIC CNet's WHO commands in ALL ways, including HIDDEN users!
You will find three versions of the WHO command, each with it's own list
of features:
"Short Who" - The "W" Command:
~~~~~~~~~ ~
- Port Number (Scans ALL Loaded Ports. Will only display IDLE ports if
you have this enabled through CNet's CONFIG program!)
- User's Handle
- Where the User IS in your System!
- Conference Control Flag (+) Supported 100%. (This means that users on
other ports who try to Hide or Muffle a Conf. Controller will appear
to do so on THEIR screens, but will FAIL to do so on the Controller's
WHO screen, just like CNET!)
- Hiding "h", and Muffling "m" fully supported.
- Attempted Hiding "H", and Attempted Muffling "M" also supported!
(This is what a Conference Controller will see on their WHO screens
of user's who are trying to Hide or Muffle them!)
- Idle Ports now have the ability to show how LONG they've been Idle,
provided you have "Show Idle Ports" set in CONFIG!
- Occupied Ports that have been IDLE for LONGER than 5 minutes now tell
you this, so that you can get an idea as to whether or not the user
on the port is REALLY there or not!
- Fully colorized, with two separate HELP menus for beginning users!
"Normal Who" - The "WH" Command:
~~~~~~~~~~ ~~
- Contains everything the "Short" format does, PLUS:
- Logon Time.
- Current CPS Rate (Baud/100).
- City, State, and Country User Hails From.
- User's Short, Internal CNet WHO Banner!
- Idle Ports can now use an optional IDLE Banner, a line of up to 54
characters that could possibly tell such info as phone numbers, baud
rates, times, etc. If an Idle Banner is NOT created, the user will be
shown the regular "<No One> 0 Idle" line instead, unless a DEFAULT
Idle Banner has also been created.
"Long Who" - The "WHO" Command:
~~~~~~~~ ~~~
- Contains all "Short" and "Normal" information, PLUS:
- Last Call Date.
- Gender of User (Male or Female)[Color Coded Blue or Red]
- Time Used Online TODAY (in Minutes)
- The User's 3-Line "Glimpse" file.
- A History Flag "*" Telling which Users Have History Files, which are
text files of up to 20-Lines!
All three versions of the command may also take numeric arguments, which
act just like CNet's built-in versions. These numbers represent the PORTS in
which you wish to scan, like these examples illustrate:
W 0-2 : Short WHO for Ports 0 thru 2.
WH 1 4 10 : Normal WHO for Ports 1, 4, and 10.
WHO 0-2,5.9 12- : Long WHO for Ports 0 thru 2, 5, 9, and all Ports
from 12 thru your Highest Loaded Port.
Note that ALL forms of arguments are allowed: 2 0,3 1-4, 2.5.8, etc.
Provided the user has the "Conference Control" flag set in their account,
they may also specify the <C>onfig argument to load the CONFIG file:
W C : Load CONFIG, ready to Edit Short Who data.
WH C : Load CONFIG, ready to Edit Normal Who data.
WHO C : Load CONFIG, ready to Edit Long Who Data.
This version also allows for ALL Versions to be Created.
You can type as much of the word CONFIG as you wish, but only the first
letter will be looked at, so the following would also load the CONFIG:
W CONFIG
WH CON
WHO C
Also, when using the "Long" Who version, there are three more arguments
that can be used to SKIP the WHO Listing and immediately enter one of the
Long Who prompt commands. Again, you may type as MUCH of the keyword as you
wish, but only the first letter is scanned:
WHO B (or WHO BANNERS, etc.) to edit/pick a Short Who Banner!
WHO G (or WHO GLIMPSE, etc.) to edit their Glimpse File!
WHO H (or WHO HISTORY, etc.) to edit their History File!
WHO V (or WHO VIEW, etc.) to edit their History File also!
In addition, these NEW arguments have been added into v2.1c. Two are for
Conference Controllers ONLY, and the other two are for ALL users:
Conference Controllers ONLY:
================================
WHO I (or WHO IDLES, etc.) to ReLoad your Idle Who Banners!
WHO E (or WHO EDIT, etc.) to Modify your Idle Who Banners!
- The editor is entered, giving you 102 lines. This is to allow for
100 lines of regular ports, 1 line for a default banner, and 1
line for the Total Banners on file.
Available to ALL Your Users:
================================
WHO P (or WHO PORT, etc.) to display CURRENT PORT's Idle Banner.
- This comes in handy when a user wishes to know which phone number
they happened to call in on, etc.
WHO Q (or WHO QUICK, etc.) to QUICK display the "Long" output.
- "Quick" display will suppress the printing of Glimpses, lines of
separator characters BETWEEN each port, as well as any HELP MENUS
that may need to be printed, and finally the options prompt. What
is RETAINED is the Last Call Date, User Gender, History Flag and
Total Time Online Today, which is NOT shown in the "Normal" file.
Lastly, all WHO's should be able to be aborted by pressing ANY key while
they are displaying, without having to wait for the ENTIRE listing to be
shown. Better support for this cancelling was added to v2.51 CNet Who!
