- To make features.bbs, you can use the file, features.bbs as a guide.
-
- The format of the file is as follows:
- LINE 1 ------------ruler
- Line 2 - N The actual programs that you make available to you
- users.
-
- Each line is broken up into fields. The fields are as follows:
- Column 01 - 50 The full path name of the program plus commandline
- Column 51 A space
- Column 52 - 72 Description of program
- Column 73 A space
- Column 74 - 78 Privilege level assigned to the program
- Column 79 An asterisk or space
-
- If column 79 is an asterisk, '*', then the BBS software will switch back to
- the default terminal parameters and then execute the program. After the
- program completes, it will then switch back to the BBS terminal parameters.
- The user will be notified of the switching so that he/she can change his/her
- terminal program if necessary.
-
- If column 79 is a space, the BBS program will redirect stdout to a temporary
- file and then send the output to the bbs user.
