What the term "homepage" means should every one knows from "Internet". Many people an company offers there own homepages in the Internet. Therefore everyone can easyly an quickly access the newest drivers and informations. Such homepages need a gateway-computer which established the connection between local datas and the network. Thoose computers are called servers. When we do compare this knowlege with STD-PAGE and the bulletin board systems we could say that the BBS is needed for the connectio between system and user and STD-PAGE is the serverprogram which manages the pages and accesses. Sure, STD-PAGE is no "Internet"-program which can serve pages to the Internet but it does something like that. The exact function and history of STD-PAGE I will tell you in the following paragraph. Some time ago I though: The BBS-scene is really dead. Nothing new appears to the scene. The whole world is fascinated of the slow Internet. I tried to get te reason for the fact that everyone speak about the Internet and recognized a few thing: - Everyone can create his one page with his own wishes - There are links between the homepages - Guestbooks are avaiable - The homepage-creator knows how many people visited his page - The Script-Language HTML is avaiable on many different computer-plattforms After that I asked myself how it works in the BBS-scene with the free and personal homepages. Apart from the fact that now software exisists which can handle those things there also does not exist a uniform Script-Language. There is one fact that speaks for the BBS: ANSI. This screen-language can be used on many computer-plattforms. Because of that I though that a program in which the user can create his pages in an easy to learn language is needed. This language should enable the abilitys of the Internet and his HTML. The result of my thoughts is STD-PAGE. With this program and its own Script-Language (Fast-Script) the user is able to create his own and individual homepages. The Script-Language is very clear and easy to use. In the Script-Language exists many command which are also exist in languages like Basic, Pascal or C. The possibilitys you can realize with the Script-Language are very great. For constructing your own homepage you can use guestbooks, visitorcounters, statistics, links, variables, menuestructures, management-Commandos, display-Commandos and the transfer of files. With this commands and abilities your are able to create a small BBS in the BBS. That ist not all, there is one immprovement comming: The created homepages cann be send over a network (like Fido) trought the whole world. Then your homepage is not only presented in one BBS it is presented in many BBSes. The utility which transfers the new homepages into one file which can be distributed through a network will be published in november 1996. Now back to the user: The user have the ability to test his pages offline at his computer. The utility PAGE_OFL.EXE will be found in the self-extracting file PAGEUSER.EXE which the user should have extracted when he read this textfile. And now an important request: If somebody things that he also want to write a program like STD-PAGE please make the Script-Language compatible to "Fast-Script" of STD-PAGE. This would be nice for all users. Then they only have to create their homepage one time and it will work in all programs so that they only have to upload there pages in the different programes (without changes). Installation of STD-PAGE ──────────────────────── Important: To get all the command-line parameters you have to use the parameter /H (type STDPAGE /H). For using the fossil-support instead of the direct COM-Assignment you have to use the parameter /FOSSIL. If you are using the multitasker DesqView you should change in the files SEND.BAT, SEND2.BAT and RECEIVE.BAT the parameter -OS2 with the parameter -DV. To change change the language-file you have to edit the file MESSAGES.CFG. The archive of STD-PAGE contains the following language-files: - GERMAN.CFG German language-file - ENGLISH.CFG Engish language-file To activate one of those file you have to copy it to the name MESSAGES.CFG. By the factory-settings the german language-file is active. If you want to use a own Mainmenue in STD-PAGE you only have to create a ANSI-file with the name STDPAGE.ANS. Then you have to copy it into the main directory of STD-PAGE. Important for all Bulletin Board Systems: ───────────────────────────────────────── After the installation of STD-PAGE you have to edit in the directory of STD-PAGE the file STDPAGE.CFG. The informations of this file are important if you want to register STD-PAGE. Installation into GS-Mailbox: ───────────────────────────── Copy the programfiles into the directory \gsbox\stdpage. Create the directory \gsbox\stdpage\receive. Now write a STDPAGE.BAT-file which should look like the following example and which is placed in the main GSBOX-directory \gsbox. rem ---------->Begin<----------------------------- cd\gsbox\stdpage stdpage %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 cd\gsbox rem ----------->End<------------------------------- After that edit your GSBOX-Scriptfile. For the call fo STD-PAGE you have to create first a key which jumps to the call of STD-PAGE. Call at GS-BOX from 1.80 (or bigger like 1.90, 2.00, 2.1x): **************************** :xyz ... ... ... ... ... key s,stdpage,1 aktion goto xyz **************************** :stdpage RUN overlay("stdpage.bat /USER:"+musername+" /COM:"+str(port)) GOTO xyz ******************************** Installation into RemoteAccess: ─────────────────────────────── Create the directorys \RA\STDPAGE and \RA\STDPAGE\RECEIVE. Decompress the STD-PAGE-Archive into the directory \RA\STDPAGE. Start the configuration-program of RA. The configuration in RA should look like that (I do not use RA): Enter at RACONFIG->MANAGER->MENUS the following commands: Action : Execute Sub-Program (Type 7) Display : ; Opt. Data: *C /C C:\RA\STDPAGE.BAT *N *M The STDPAGE.BAT at \RA should look like the following example: @echo off del \ra\stdpage\dorinfo1.def copy \ra\dorinfo1.def \ra\stdpage cd \ra\stdpage stdpage.exe cd \ra Installation into ProBoard: ─────────────────────────── Create the directorys \PB\STDPAGE and \PB\STDPAGE\RECEIVE. Decompress the STD-PAGE-Archive into the directory \PB\STDPAGE. Start the configuration-program of PB. The configuration in PB should look like that (I do not use PB): MENUES -> Display : ; Function: 7 - Shell Data : *Z*X*VSTDPAGE.BAT The STDPAGE.BAT at \PB should look like the following example: @echo off del \pb\stdpage\dorinfo1.def copy \pb\dorinfo1.def \pb\stdpage cd \rb\stdpage stdpage.exe cd \pb Installation in LoraBBS/2: ────────────────────────── Thanks to Gert Massheimer / DELTA-OS BOX for this instruction. ===== Begin of Page.Bat ===== @Echo Off REM *************************** REM * Menue-Call in LoraBBS/2 * REM *************************** REM REM Type 97 - Display file (system) REM Data DorInfo REM Hot-key P REM REM Type 10 - Run external program REM Data D:\Lora\Door\Page\Page.Bat %k %b REM Hot-key P REM REM ## Del D:\Lora\Door\Page\DorInfo%1.Def REM REM !! In my BBS Line 1 is COM2. If the parameter /Fossil is used, !! REM !! i have to say STD-PAGE that Line 1 is at COM1 . !! REM !! The COM-Port at the fossil-support has to be 1 port smaller !! REM !! than the real port (e.g. 0 for COM1, 1 for COM2 and so on). !! REM If "%1"=="4" set Port=4 If "%1"=="3" set Port=3 If "%1"=="2" set Port=3 If "%1"=="1" set Port=1 Copy D:\Lora\DorInfo%1.Def D:\Lora\Door\Page CD D:\Lora\Door\Page StdPage.Exe /Fossil /Com:%Port% /Line:%1 /Baud:%2 CD D:\Lora ===== End of Page.Bat ===== Installation into other Bulletin Board Systems: ─────────────────────────────────────────────── First you can call STD-PAGE with the parameter /H for getting a look over the whole parameters and command-lines of STD-PAGE. You also can start STD-PAGE with DORINFOx.DEF-use. This file should be stored in the same directory as STD-PAGE. It is also possible to start STD-PAGE with a DOOR.SYS-use by using the parameter /DOOR.SYS in the command-line. Maybe the installation-guide of the other systems might help you. Local call of STD-PAGE (e.g. for testing): ────────────────────────────────────────── Change to the directory of STD-PAGE and type the following command (you habe to change the name "TONI TESTER" with your name): STDPAGE LOCAL /USER:TONI TESTER Disable special users: ────────────────────── You can forbid special users to upload and add own homepages into the system. The only thing you have to do is to write the users name into the file KICKOUT.TXT. Informations about the script-language: ─────────────────────────────────────── For further details please read the file PAGEUSER.DOC. If you locally want to add a homepage to the system read the following guides: 1. Copy yout HOMEPAGE.ZIP into the STDPAGE-Subdirectory RECEIVE (e.g. \RA\STDPAGE\RECEIVE). 2. Call STD-PAGE with the following parameters (change "NAME" to your name): STDPAGE LOCAL /USER:NAME 3. Select the function 3. After that the only thing you have to do is to follow the orders on screen. Sharewareversion: ───────────────── STD-PAGE will be published under the conditions of "SHAREWARE". "SHAREWARE" what is that? The name comes from the USA. The name does not mean that the program is totally free. The program is no Public-Domain or Freeware. It is "normal" software which the user can test befor buying. The program is distributed by the principle of "fairness against fairness". With the Sharewareversions of the STD-programs you get fully functional software which you can test very long without buying them for that. On opposite I trust you that you delete the program if it is not that you wanted or that you will register it when you use the program longer than 30 days. The Sharewareversions of my programs you can copy freely to other people (but _NOT!_ the registered versions or the keyfiles). Registration: ───────────── The registration will be done through writting the registrationcode into the file STDPAGE.CFG For registering the program you have to fill out the file REGISTER.DOC. Please read the file REGISTER.DOC exactly.
