-
- @X0BCaller Num: @X03 This is the number of calls that the bulletin board
- system you are calling has answered since operation of the system
- began.
-
- @X0BLst Date On: @X03 The last date you called the system is stored in this
- field.
-
- @X0BExpire Date: @X03 This field contains the date at which your account
- will expire. If you have no expiration date then this field will
- contain the word None. Some bulletin board systems set their users
- to expire at a certain date. When you are "expired" your security
- level is usually dropped until you follow the instructions that are
- displayed to you.
-
- @X0B# Times On: @X03 This value shows how many times you have called this
- system.
-
- @X0BPage Length: @X03 The page length setting allows you to configure how
- many lines will be displayed on your screen before you want PCBoard
- to issue a More? prompt and ask you if you are ready for the next
- screen. This value may be changed by using the P user command.
-
- @X0BExpert Mode: @X03 If expert mode is turned on, an On is displayed.
- Otherwise, you are in novice mode and an Off is displayed. You may
- toggle expert mode by using the X user command.
-
- @X0BSecurity Lv: @X03 This value is the security level that you have been
- assigned on this system. The bulletin board system uses this value
- to control what you can and cannot do on the system.
-
- @X0B# Downloads: @X03 This is the total number of files you have downloaded
- from the system.
-
- @X0B# Uploads: @X03 This is the total number of files you have uploaded to
- the system.
-
- @X0BBytes Avail: @X03 This field shows you how many bytes you can download
- for the remainder of the day. If this value is set to Unlimited
- then you may download as much as your time allows.
-
- @X0BL/Msg. Read: @X03 This field contains the last message number you have
- read in the current conference. As you change conferences this
- value will be updated.
-
- @X0BHigh Msg. #:@X03 This value is the highest message number in the
- conference you are currently in.
-
- @X0BActive Msgs:@X03 This value is the number of messages that are active
- in the conference you are currently in. While you will see that
- each conference has a range of messages (e.g. 332-982) some of the
- messages in that range may have been deleted. Therefore, you cannot
- subtract the low message number from the high message number to get
- the actual number of active messages.
-
- @X0BTr/Protocol: @X03 This is the name of the protocol you have selected as
- your default transfer protocol. If None is displayed, you will be
- prompted for a transfer protocol to use each time you start a file
- transfer.
-
- If you happen to be logging in as the SysOp (as record #1 in the USERS
- file) then two additional lines will be displayed to you:
-
- @X0BDefined #'s: @X03 When you setup a conference, you are asked how many
- message blocks you want for the particular conference. If you
- enter 4 in that field, then you will be allowed to have a range of
- 4096 active messages in the conference. This field will list the
- number of active messages that can be in the current conference.
- This number is obtained by taking the message blocks as defined in
- the conference and multiplying it by 1024.
-
- @X0BFree Msg #s: @X03 Displays the number of messages that you may add to
- the current conference before exceeding the number of message
- blocks that you have defined. For example, if your low message
- number is 4362, your high message number is 8257, and you have
- defined the conference for 6 message blocks (6144 messages) then
- you will have 2248 free messages before you exceed your defined
- range of active messages.
