***- Textfiles Module -***
- Version 1.0 -
By: Scott Szretter
(C)1991-1992 Scott Szretter - Please see the file "COPYRITE.SPS"
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
'bulletins' in the distibution arcive) into the mubbs modules file -
renumbering if necessary.
There should be a folder called 'textfiles' 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. ('textfiles') 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 list of 10 (0-10)
text files to display. The user simply types the number to view, or:
"Q)uit" will simply exit the user back to the calling module or menu.
"F)iles_available" will give the user a list of the available text files.
"H)elp" 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 (1st file).
"TFile 1" < The 1st text file - the user sees this name.
2 < Security level to view (2nd text file)
"TFile 2" < This is the 2nd text file - user sees this.
6 < Security level to view third file.
"Tfile 3" < 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.

*** CHANGES IN Bulletins ***
1.0 -> 1.0 ... !! Changed the name (gfiles to textfiles). Also made it
simpler to use for the user. You can only display 0-9
files now. I may make seperate sections in the future.
(0-9 in section 1, 0-9 in section 2, etc...).
