MaxsBBS V1.52 Patch 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 adds the ability to download and logoff from maxsbbs 1.52.
Previously this should have been easy, just write a door that calls
the download function and then the logoff menu function. Unfortunately
this will not work becuase after a download maxsbbs asks you to press
return.
How
---
This patch removes this requirement to press return after a download.
From here it is up to you to make your own door to handle a download
& logoff, or you can use the supplied door.
Problems
--------
None.....as of printing :)
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.
Once that is done you can, if you so desire, replace every download
function with a door function. So 24 becomes 34. This door can then do
the dirty work for you. An example entry in my menus is..
Key Function Extra LoAcc HiAcc Filename/Name/Dest/Path
D 34 0 0 10000 BBS:Doors/Download
Easy ey!. If you have many download menus then I suggest you use
powersnap or equivalent to add in the door name.
Enjoy!
