Message Edit. A generic message editor for BBS systems.
User documentation. Public Beta v1.0 Produced by MegaSoft Development.
========================================
About:
I developed this program as an add on for my BBS to allow my users to have
a more user friendly interface then the default Maximus editor. It has
internal support for Taglines, and I will be adding more features in the
future. This product has not been extensivly tested, but does work on my
BBS and doesn't seem to show any ill effect.
Features:
Internal tagline support, split screen chat, user friendly, (relativly) easy
setup.
Installation:
Installation should be fairly straight forward, I've included my cfg, bat,
tagfile, and of course the docs to tell you about the program :)
(In max.ctl) Local Editor @command.com /c d:\bbs\edit_msg.bat %s %%k %%t
You should probably change all the directory references and play with the
program locally, it will also require that in your access.ctl that your users
have the access to the external editor, ie:
Access Normal
Level 30
Desc Normal
Key N
Time 60
Cume 90
Calls -1
LogonBaud 300
XferBaud 300
FileLimit 2500
FileRatio 6
RatioFree 1000
UploadReward 150
% LoginFile Misc\PrivN
% Flags
MailFlags Editor LocalEditor % <----
% UserFlags
Oldpriv 2
End Access
Almost forgot. You'll have to place a copy of dorinfo(my setup), or some
other supported drop file format, after the -D in the batch file. For
Maximus users, I recomend you do that via the welcome.bbs or your nearest
equivilant. Don't worry about incorrect user time, it's updated via the
command line.
Files In This Package:
dorinfo.mex <- A dorinfo generator Mex, takes paramters for the port.
ie: [mex]m\dorinfo 2 will write com2 in the dorinfo?.def
[mex]m\dorinfo would write the OS/2 com port handle.
good for running DOS doors under OS/2.
edit_msg.bat <- Example batch file.
edit_msg.cfg <- Example config file.
edit_msg.doc <- Documentation :).
edit_msg.exe <- Executable file.
file_id.diz <- Yet Another Unsolved Mystery.
tagline <- A large collection of example taglines.
Generic Info:
This is a public beta, if you find any problems please send a copy of the
log file to one of the authors addresses(listed at the end of the doc) along
with a description of how it happened(if possible).
Future Plans:
I plan on adding a spelling/grammar check and improved tagline support in
later versions as well as any suggestions you might have.
