MaxsBBS V1.52 FilePatch ReadMe
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BackGround
----------
MaxsBBS is the friendliest bbs system around at the moment, despite its
current limitations. The purpose of this patch, and hopefully subsequent
patches is to increase the capabilities of maxsbbs V1.52.


What
----
This patch removes the "File Size Has Changed" requestor from the CheckFiles
Function. This is very useful if you add banners to archived files which
change the archives size. When you use the checkfiles command every file
would normally cause a "File Size Has Changed" requestor and would need
a response from yourself. This patch removes this requestor and makes the
defualt choice "Fix It". So your file.data will be updated automatically.
Other Requestors such as "Can't Find that File" are left untouched


How
---
Easy, I've just inserted the instruction NOP (No Operation) where MaxsBBS had
the call to the requestor subroutine.


Problems
--------
None


Effects
-------
I did not remove the accompanying "beep" that gets played when the file size
has changed. There was no need to, and it also lets you know how many files
have changed. (Read, I couldn't be bothered :).


USAGE
-----

To apply the patch to maxsbbs1.52 just type the patches name and pass
it the path and name of the maxsbbs file.

Eg,

MaxsPatch152 DH0:MaxsBBS
	         ^^^^^^^ Change this to the name of the BBS executable.

Enjoy!
