- ************* BBS List Module *************
- *******************
- --> Version 1.2 <--
- By: Scott Szretter
- (C)1991-1992 Scott Szretter
- Please see the file "COPYRITE.SPS"
-
- This module will allow your users to create a 'bbs list' on your bbs.
-
- To install the module, copy it with ResEdit (it should be called 'bbslist' in
- the distibution arcive) into the mubbs modules file - renumbering if necessary.
-
- There should be a folder called "bbslist" in the same directory as your
- 'modules' file.
-
- This folder should contain 5 files:
-
- -> modulename.info - The list of BBS's.
- -> modulename.help - The user help screen.
- -> modulename.intro - The introduction screen.
- -> modulename.level - Security information.
- -> modulename.menu - The menu displayed to the user for bbslist.
-
- (Where modulename is the name of the module. "bbslist" in the distribution
- archive.)
-
- Edit these files with a plain text editor like Jolliwrite, or Vantage, or
- MacWrite and make sure you 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.
- The menu shown to the user is taken from the file 'modulename.menu'.
-
- The commands bbslist supports are:
-
- "Quit" will simply exit the user back to the calling module or menu.
- "Display" will display the bbs list file to the user. (modulename.info)
- "Add" will allow the user to add to the bbs list.
- "Help" will display the file wish.help in the wish folder. (modulename.help)
-
- The actual bbs list is kept in a folder called "bbslist", and the file name is
- "modulename.info" (If the module is called 'bbslist', then the file would be
- called 'bbslist.info').
-
- The file 'modulename.level' or (bbslist.level in the distribution archive) is
- a file that contains a NUMBER on the first line - first position in the file.
- The user must have a security level HIGHER than this number to access the bbs
- list. The number may be 3 digits long (although you need only 2 digits max).
- The number is CR terminated (new line).
- The level is 5 in the distribution archive, so the user would require a
- secuitry level of 6 or greater to access the bbs list.
- The SECOND line in the file is the message that gets sent to the user if
- he/she does not have the correct security level. This may be up to 40
- characters long.
-
- This module has been tested, but I take no responsibility for any damages
- that may occur from using this module.
