# 188,884 of 191,081 01Jul03 11:02:55 From waxed It's interesting that your book would tell you how to do the harder thing but not the easier one. You're sorta doing this: http://www.cyberport.com/~tangent/programming/winsock/advanced.html#forceif There are several sample programs here: http://www.cyberport.com/~tangent/programming/winsock/examples/basics/index.html It may be helpful to see this specific simple one: http://www.cyberport.com/~tangent/programming/winsock/examples/basics/basic-server.html n6969: exclusive messages; timeout; robust error trapping; autoroom; remove netid; map source room back to local name ^[ in room prompt message resizing 0 messages before login . to toggle pause between msgs finger crash geroge: .egb: borders by group! ssh: http://www.free.lp.se/fish/rfc.txt # 136,266 of 136,912 01Apr02 17:38:28 From [home:253 520 8048] onan [work:425 897 8853] if someone is in an anonymous room, then .wv reporting unknown room makes a certain sense ------ Call.

Ok, it looks like I might have found the cause of some problems. It looks like errorDisp() isn't threadsafe and the stripansi() function nukes the system. msgDisp() and trapDisp() are similar. no force message dump (LOGIN.CPP:616: showMessages(NewOnly, FALSE, 0);) q no quack #ifdef BIBNEWMSG -- search for and remove! # 121,718 of 121,985 01Mar13 11:20:03 From exquisite infectious tumor Subject: .ecrm? suggestion: addition of an dit or hange option to the .ecrm (message tags) menu. i've found it cumbersome to have to first remove and then recreate message tags when i want to change them. especially when dealing with users with long names as the "remove" and "add" options aren't smart enough to accept partial names. i was thinking something along the lines of being able to hit e or c and when citadel asks for user, it will accept partial names and then prompt "change user %s tag?" or something similar. and have the default for the new tag be the old one, even, so you could simply hit ENTER and not set it to null 1. discrepancies in the .ec7 menu. the "Exclusive messages" line and the "chat to user" line. i'm sure you can find them.

Things already done.  Things that are bad ideas. -----------------------------------  Speed up .FL via logtab  "-f#" Lets you force an event from the command line. This is great if  you run TurboCit under a front end program such as BinkleyTerm.  Fixed the cron file reading funtion to take longer lines. This was  needed to hold all the 1/2 hours possible 0-48 on one line.  Added a new way to configure cron event times! You may now specify  times you "don't" want the event to run using the "!" character.  An example:   #HOURS ANY !4 !5 !6 !7   The above would run any 1/2 hours except 4, 5, 6, and 7.   Also added to CRON.CIT time entry is the "-" character. This allows  you to specify a range of 1/2 hours to include or exclude. An example:   #HOURS 0-20 !4-7 !15-18   The above would run during the 1/2 hours of:  0 1 2 3 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 19 20   *************************************************************************  *旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴�*  *쿙OTE:NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:NOTE�*  *� �*  *쿌ll cron events start with NO 1/2 hours selected.

If the maximum number of users per day is exceeded, the file newlogdy.blb  will be displayed and carrier will be dropped.

C during a text dump (message read, blurb, etc) now turns screen pause off  until a room prompt is reached.  E during a message read now sends mail to the author of the message.  Added a SEQUENCE command to #LOGIN scripts... R then 3 parameters. First  parameter is what to wait for, second is what to send if it's not recieved  in #WAIT_TIMEOUT, third is how many times to retry.  For example, to wait for the string "login:", sending a carriage-return  until you get it, and trying 5 times... then sending your initials and  password, the following script would work:  #LOGIN R "login:" "\r" 5 S "initials;password\r"  Fixed Purge-Users to have an Abort option  .Sysop Group List has been added as a synonym for .Aide List  Added command .Sysop Purge-Users, prompts yes/no for each user in the userlog  to kill the user- Starts at the oldest.  The current time of the day is now displayed at login right before the  last time the user called. This is if logon stats are turned on.  Added code to prompt if a message should be generated in the room you  copy/move a file to.  "-p#" Lets you specify a different COM port then what is in  CONFIG.CIT. You might use this to allow special connection to different  modems, or when running TurboCit under a front end program that allows  more then one line.  Added "%" to the sysop menu as "Sysop Fullpath File Download". A  remote sysop can download almost any file using this command. Any path  is valid, but certain files are still not visible. IE: CONFIG.CIT  Added partial name entry for groups in the hall new and rename.  Added a new AIDE command .AJ, .Aide Jump to aide room and maintenance  hall. It's a mouth full, but makes it easy to jump back to the aide  room and maintenance hall at any time. At this time it does not allow  you to "jump" back to the room and hall you were in. That will come  later. In the future it will toggle you between the room nad hall you  are in and the aide and maintenance hall.   Added a new feature. TurboCit will now prompt a user to leave e-mail  to the sysop if they requested chat when they were on. Before asking the  user to leave mail, the file "CHATTED.BLB" is read to the user.  Changed the chat bell to only ring if bells are ON.  Added default hall locking to the list of items that a new user can  have defaulted on if you like.  Cleaned up the way "hall new" and "hall rename" display and ask  for information. These will be changed to a menu system soon.  Added code so you can lock a single hall from users making new rooms.  The status of this can be changed by re-naming the hall with no new  name. TurboCit will then ask you about this as well as the other  settings for halls.  New CONFIG.CIT keyword, #MAX_JUMPBACK... configures the # of gotos which are  saved for jumping back to them. Generally, setting this to about half the  # of rooms on your system is more than adequate. Minimum of 2, for deep magic  reasons.  Known Rooms now no longer lists Xcluded rooms with no new messages in the  "Rooms with no new messages" part of the list.  Added "#AUTO_EDITOR" in EXTERNAL.CIT which allows the configuration of  an editor that will automatically be run whenever a message is saved.  Uses include auto word filters, bad character filters etc...  Added the ability for users to turn off viewing of title/surnames  on message headers. This does not override the #SURNAMES setting in  CONFIG.CIT where you can turn off network titles/surnames. This just  allows each user to not view titles and surnames if they can be viewed.  E-mail can now be entered from a shell using the input.apl and  message.apl files. ASCII '�' (201) is the character to use for the  name of the user to send mail to.  Added a new command to the #LOGIN string in NODES.CIT '@ "filename"'.  This allows you to call another file containing more lines of login  commands. One command per line. The file must be located in your homepath.  The file cannot call other files with the '@' command. If the '@'  command is used inside a file, it is ignored. You can call more then  one file, but only one at a time.   Example:   -------------------------  #LOGIN @ "file.txt"  -------------------------    -------------------------  p "10"  w "hello"  s "s"  w "Enter your initials: "  s "init;pass\r"  -------------------------  .RB should default to logged in user  .RK should check everything else.  Wildcard downloads now disambiguate filespecs  * at a room prompt will bring up the bulletin menu  ALT-F now forces the "next" event (the one the pointer is at) no  matter what. The event is done whether it is valid, or has been done  already.  Added a flag in NODES.CIT to let you trap failed nets on a node by  node basis. The flag is "#NETFAIL" and a "0" means NO, a "1" means yes.  If network event trapping is turned off in the CONFIG.CIT file, the  failed nets are not trapped even if #NETFAIL = 1.  .AQA uses GetOneKey  Added "Default hall for new user" to the things you can toggle on for  hall. Change by renaming an existing hall, or when creating a new  one. Only one hall can be the default for new users. If none are  selected, the root hall is the default.  Created a "super" sysop type, it's called Remote-Sysop. They can do  all those things a normal sysop can't from remote. This includes but is  not limited to; room applications, room directories (even locked ones),  groups (locked and hidden), exiting the BBS (watch out for this one!).  Turbocit Remote sysop feature  Fixed an inconsistancy in the DOOR code which would use 0 for the port of a  console user, and just the number for a remote user's port... While room  apps have LOCAL for console and COMn for remote (command line parameters)  NOTES.CIT keyword #LOGPACE  #LOGPACE will pause for x milliseconds (1/1000th of a second) after every  character when processing the #LOGIN script.  a mode that shows all input from serial port  no. read and no. entered and uploaded stored in log  default room creation hall  fix applications baud rate  carrrier detect and aborting from netting  support for two way net  investigate netid's with e-mail  helpaide > -> 0 everyone, 1 aides and sysops, 2 sysops only, 3 #sysop only,  > 4 nobody, -1 only probem users. helpsysop >  autorouter  twit bbs name  have squiggly be on status line ANYTIME up-hours is on. have alt-u make  board NOT answer phone and remove squiggly  null pointer check for Borland  configurable status bar..

Messages entered in group-only room are group-only???  Check NODES.CIT only if node has userlog entry  Make sure node name matches before adding region (NET.C/GetMessage)  Duplicate messages should net out (.AI, printmessage)  #DEFAULT_ROUTE (for unknown nodes)  #DIRECTORY for err head: send all files in this directory  #FILELIST: name of file in transpath containing list of files to send  Make "crazy network" mode where Retry=0 for everything, calls until  all networking done  Make sysop command for anon messages  fix UW ANSI screen screw-ups (dial_out mode), for Livia  Only redo files if necessary  #NOPWECHO 2-31, 127+ should not be allowed  Put terminal width init into GLOB.H, not CFGCFG.C  Removed Alt-B Psycho characters.  Replaced the Alt-B command to toggle "blinking" chat on and off. The  default is off. The setting is remembered between configurations.  IE: stored inside ETC.TAB  If Sysop functions are trapped in trap.out, userlog edits will now be  duplicated in the aide room.  Added a call to application code to only write an OUTPUT.APL file if  there is at least 200K free disk space on the drive where the  application directory is located.  F-4 now clears the screen and displays "Echo Off". All output  including the status bar and help are turned off.  Changed the #PRIVATE config variable. It is now a script rather then a  single setting.   1 E-mail to SysOp in lobby  2 Create userlog entry  3 Information to a file, name, address, phone, and message  4 Run new user application (see #NEWUSERAPP)  5 Verify the user  6 not in use  7 not in use  8 Closed system, reads "CLOSESYS.BLB"  9 Hang up phone line   So you can now enter "219" to make a log entry, leave e-mail to the  sysop, then hang up. Or any other combination you like. At TurboTech we  used the old setting "13" (Info to file, with userlog entry). This would  now be "239".   ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++  And just leaving the #PRIVATE blank is an open system. Like the old "0".  ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++  .Sysop Hall Kill and .Sysop Group Kill now prompt for removal of rooms/  halls from the hall/group instead of just saying "go remove things".  New NODES.CIT keywords- #NODUPCHECK  #NODUPCHECK will skip duplicate checking for the node. This option should  be used with EXTREME caution... It's only real application would be for  gateways where you KNOW no duplicate messages will come over. if pausebetween messages is on pause during wildcard download. put last call time in .RC Alt+Number: Force cron questionarre /*************************************************************************/ Fixed upload count credit for batch uploads if the balance was already below 0. It was resetting to 0 and then subtracting even when it was below 0. Added the word "using" after the Download and Upload prompt. This in it self should help a great number of people that don't realize you should now hit the protocol "hotkey". Added a flashing solid white screen during chat request. People have ask for this because they are hard of hearing and or have disconnected the PC speaker. Changing directory code now "retries" once before aborting. This should help on networks. Status line display of baud rates when running TurboCit under front end software or as a sub board now displays the port rate instead of the init_baud rate. First count of lines of code, total is 28,000+ including header files for TurboCit (not BC++ 3.0 headers). Increased word length in messages to 512 characters. This might be needed to support long lines of ANSI color codes. All directory paths are now check twice at startup. Added code to filter out messages that only contain ANSI color codes. This is added to the code that filters messages with spaces only, or lines of space- space- over and over. Changed the auto ANSI detect a bit. It now requests 3 times, but stops requesting as soon as it gets a response. TurboCit now reports the number of rooms requested and asked for. It also reports the number of messages sent as well. This does not include mail. Changed .KI to ask all users if they want to view the room description file. Before only users with room descriptions turned on were asked. Changed the status bar to include a 'R' flag to show "Remote-Sysop" status like "Aide" and "Sysop" status. Changed the userlog reading code to display a "Remote-Sysop" flag. The start time and the estimated time a download will take are now shown on the top of the TCit protocol window. @ at the room edit menu toggles the Automatic Application flag if the room has an application. If this flag is set, the first time a user enters the room in a call the application will be called automatically. Printer file now actually gets re-opened after shell. Removed roomtalley-for-unlogged-user code from startup and terminate, speeds things up noticeably. New (optional) NODES.CIT keyword- #PREFIX, if present, will be used to dial a node instead of the default config.cit #DIAL_PREF Net message replies now copy region and country information if present. New External.Cit Keyword- #FILEMAIL... Replaces the old "NODE@NODE" code, if you define a username as a #FILEMAIL account, any incoming netted messages will be written to a file. For example, to duplicate the node@node code, put the following line in your external.cit - #FILEMAIL "Board Name" "OUTPUT.NET" (Replacing Board name with the obvious thing) New config.cit keyword, "#PSEUDONYMS", if set to 1 will prompt for a real name after the account name is entered. This field will be stored in networking to make connecting to real name only nets easier to interface with, but is not displayed in CitNet headers. Exclusive messages are no longer blanked to console when the message is sent to "Sysop", "Aide" or the config.cit #SYSOPNAME Modifed the user application code to allow unix wildcards. For example, to set up a login application for everyone, Set up a user application with the username as "*" ... To set one up for anyone with the letter X in their nym, use the username "*X*" ... This is all case insensitive. Reworked the "Copied" messages code so that messages are PHYSICALLY copied instead of just having a pointer aimed at them. This makes the code a LOT less confusing in that part, and should make the Aide room messages, etc work again. Killing a message now moves the message to dump and puts a notation in the aide room as to the message number killed rather than including a whole 'nother copy of the message. Inserting a messages now only puts a message in the aide room with the message inserted rather than including a whole 'nother copy of the message. Copied messages now net out properly. Fixed a minor bug which could put a logging in user in the last hall the previous user was in UNLESS they had a default hall set. Fixed a bug in the sysopPage() function which could lock up some machines because it specified a negative time to delay. .RVU now shows SYSOPS the real name of the users Fixed the partial-room code to deal with "start of a room name" at the same time as "in the room name", so you'll be able to get to comp.misc even if there's a "Misc Blatherings" room, by typing .G misc Added the code to do true pointers (instead of 16 calls back), the pointer edit menu has changed SIGNIFICANTLY due to this. Finished making # of groups configurable in config.cit ... the only caveat is you still can't have more than 64 group translation lies in a NODES.CIT entry. If you need this to be changed, please tell me. Fixed some bugs in the message base configuration code, Where the first message in the base could get munged if it was the last message logically. Terminal emulation code is now almost completely implemented. A new termcap is forthcoming shortly with emulations for the DEC VT-102 and Wyse 50. If you or any of your users has access to information on terminals, please send it to me for inclusion in the database. Fixed a problem in the parsing code which had some problems with 3-character octal codes and 2-character hex codes. Fixed a bug in the netting code which would update pointers at fetch time instead of after incorporation, making it fetch any messages received during one network on the next net. Added #DOORHOURS keyword to external.cit, see the new external.cit for details. F during a message read now posts a "followup" public reply with the same subject line and the ability to quote message text. T will now read the "Thread" of a message, if it has a subject line, printing only messages with the same subject New #TRAP keyword: SHELL, logs cron shell events in the trapfile if present If #FLIPCENSOR is set to 2 in config.cit, Read Censored Messages will default to on. New CONFIG.CIT keywords #QUOTE_OK, #LOGPURGE, #NOCONLOG: #QUOTE_OK determines whether message followups will be allowed to quote from the message. #LOGPURGE is the maximum number of days a user can not call before being removed from the user log, regardless of their permanent status. Set this to 0 to ignore it. You may be surprised the first time you enable this... I set it for 120 days (4 months)... And purged almost 2/3 of my userlog. Since the purpose of this is to not have to keep zapping permanent users who haven't called in ever and ever, I'd set it at a minimum of 6 months, possibly 8... #NOCONLOG, if set to 1, will not trap console actions. This can be useful if you're the only person who is logging in on console and you just don't CARE what you did. Fixed a bug in downloads which could allow screen-pause AFTER the download had been started.
