This is a module that will allow your users to view text files - list what are available, then select which to view...
Text files can be restricted by security level.
To install the module, copy it with resedit (it should be called 'gfiles' in the distibution arcive) into the mubbs modules file - renumbering if necessary.
There should be a folder called 'gfiles' in the same directory as your 'modules' file.
This folder should contain:
modulename.info - Information about the text files
available & security
modulename.help - The user help screen
modulename.intro - The introduction screen
(Where modulename is the name of the module. ('gfiles') in the distribution archive.)
Edit these files with a plain text editor like Jolliwrite, or Vantage, or
MacWrite and save as text.
To call the module, simply call it by it's name.
When the module is called, it will present the user with a menu of 5 commands.
"Quit" will simply exit the user back to
the calling module or menu.
"Logoff" will log the user off of the system.
"Display" will display which text file the user
requests (by #)
"Files_available" will give the user a list of
the available text files.
"Help" will display the file gfiles.help in the wish folder. (modulename.help)
NOTE: Edit the .info file with a text editor. The first line is the security level for the first file to be displayed. The second line is the name (filename) of the file to be displayed - the is the actual name showed to the user... And so on... Example Below:
5 < Security Level to view "TFile 1"
TFile 1 < First text file - the user will see this name
22 < Security level to view "TFile 2"
TFile2 < This is the second text file - user sees this name
6 < Security level to view "info File!"
info File! < Third text file - user sees this name
This module has been tested, but I take no responsibility for any damages that may occur from using this module.
