============================================================================
Dave Lettermen's Top 10 Lists, Converted to CNet Amiga by Dotoran!
============================================================================
The original author of this file is Dave Cole, who converted this file
from SkyLine BBS to run on the DLG BBS.
The Main Arexx Command file is a complete rewrite by me, while the "List"
files are the originals used by Dave Cole.
To Install:
~~~~~~~~~~~
Copy the "Top10Lists/" directory into your PFILES: directory, then add
this line somewhere in your LOGON sequence:
{#0pfiles:Top10Lists/Top10List}
^
Control-Q
That's It! The next caller to use your logon sequence will be shown a
random Top 10 List taken from the David Letterman Show.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SysOp Configurability:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Near the beginning of the Arexx Command file "Top10List" are three SysOp
Definable Variables you will want to set for your own unique system:
city = 'Buffalo' /* Edit the City your bbs is located in. */
state = 'New York' /* Edit the State your bbs is located in. */
These variables are used in the Title Lines at the top of each list to
produce the "And from our home office in, etc."
config = 'c d f b c 6 b a 1' /* Edit the Colors & Wait Time. See README! */
This variable contains 8 MCI Color Codes and 1 WAIT Number(used in the
MCI \W command). All characters are separated with at least ONE space. The
order of each character is as follows:
c d f b c 6 b a 1
Text String: "David Letterman's Top Ten Lister" ----' | | | | | | | |
Text String: "Converted to Amiga CNet by Dotoran" ----' | | | | | | |
Text String: "And From Our Home Office In, etc." -------' | | | | | |
Text String: The Subject For This Top Ten List. ----------' | | | | |
Characters: The ='s Under the Subject Text. ---------------' | | | |
Characters: The Top Ten Item Number (10 thru 1). ------------' | | |
Characters: The > sign Following Item Number. -----------------' | |
Text String: The Top Ten Item Text String. -----------------------' |
MCI WAIT \W: 0=No Wait, 9=LONG, LONG Wait! -------------------------'
NEW: Added an error checking routine, which was being called, but did not
v1.2: exist in the coding.
: Added a CHANGEWHERE to tell others when this was being used.
: Added a "no more mode" command, so as to make the display progress
: without the need to stop for more? input.
: Added a proper version string.
