By: Jay Ruyle Version: 2.0
Intro:
Do you have a message area or an Echo that allows the use of Alias's?
Aren't you tired of waiting for DLG 2.0 to come around which might have
this feature? Well I have the perfect fix for that. Contained withen
are instructions on how to setup and install AliasHack (easy as anything).
Installation:
1.Copy AliasHack from the archive to DLG:
2.Copy AliasHack.batch to DLGConfig:Batch/AliasHack
Contents of DLGConfig:Batch/AliasHack (disregard the '-' lines)
------
DLG:AliasHack
------
3.Edit any of your Message areas you wish to change to the following:
[6] Signature area: No
[11] Message translator: AliasHack
4.You can delete everything else contained in this archive, or store
it.
Companion:
AliasLink - If there is a message written to "Alias#1" which is Joe
Smoe, then AliasLink will properly update that users
WaitingMail.Dat file
WipeWait - When finished will check the users WaitingMail.Dat for
Alias messages, checks if the message was read, and if so
removes it from WaitingMail.Dat, if not then leaves it
alone.
AliasIndexer- Compiles a index listing of Alias Names to Real Names
which is alphabetically sorted by Alias' names.
*** AliasLink, and ALLookUp require this index!!! ***
Other Products:
ALLookUp - Allows [Co]Sysop to type in a Alias Name, and if found
in the index created by AliasIndexer return the persons
real name. Not a good idea to give to normal users, just
Sysops, Co-Sysops, SubOps, etc...
FDEdit - Same as AliasLink, but for File Areas.
Versions:
1.0 to 1.2 - Originally programmed by Eric Bueckner (sp?) could not
find any documented changes from him.
1.3 - Fixed and updated to use dlg.library
1.4 & 1.5 - Uptomized versions to be smaller.
2.0 - Final Version - Some error handling routines were added in
to figure out when 2 problems occur, which is rare, to
still be able to change the name.
Suggestions:
I can not think of anything else to put into this utility for DLG/OS
BBS's. If you come up with an idea that can expand and make this program
better send me some info and I will try to implement it.
I am currently thinking of possibilities of allowing Alias Names in
E-Mail without using the method of adding everyones Alias as a group and
his real name as a user in that group. Any suggestions on how
this can be done will be welcome! Which will be 3.0 of AliasHack and may
be OS2.0 only!
NOTE:
This utility will be obsolete once DLG/OS 2.0 is released becuase TPT
group, which is the author of DLG, has made plans to fully implement
full support for Alias's.
Legal:
Why do programs not written to destroy computers, sometime destroy
computers, hard drives, memory? You got me too. But like everyone else
I dont want to get sued, so: Any harm this or any of my programs may cuase
in any fasion whatsoever, including physically or emotionally, I will
accept "NO RESPOSIBILITY!" But I will try to correct any problems with
my program that may have cuased the problem, if not I will issue a warning
in DLGChat of the problem.
