- ***- Textfiles Module -***
- - Version 1.2 -
- 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.
-
- Textfiles has been changed signifigantly since version 1.11.
-
- The file 'textfiles.info' should be placed in your 'bbssupport' folder.
- If you change the name of the module, this filename should also be changed.
- (modulename.info).
-
- The .info file contains the pathnames to various files required by this module.
-
- The first path is the path to the ' .files' file. (described later)
- The second path is the path to the ANSI introduction file.
- The third path is the path to the normal introduction file.
- The fourth path is the path to where all the actual text files will be.
- -> There must be a ':' (colon) at the end of this path.
- The fifth path is the path to where the help file is.
-
- Here is how a path should look:
-
- drivename:folder:file
-
- or
-
- drivename:folder:folder:file
-
- In my case, my drive name is 100, folder name is MUBBS, and next folder is textfiles,
- and finally the filename is textfiles.files.
-
- (100:MUBBS:textfiles:textfiles.files)
-
- The textfiles folder included has sample intro, .files, help, and actual text files.
-
- The .files file contains the actual names of the text files, and security levels to
- access them.
-
- The layout looks like this:
-
- securitylevel
- filename
- securitylevel2
- filename2
- securitylevel3
- filename3
-
- and so on. There may be up to 10 files.
-
- The filename must be the EXACT mac file name. (Not the path).
- The files must be put where you specify in the .info file.
- (fourth path).
-
