- * Press Release For Alley-Wall 2.11 *
- Alley-Wall v 2.11 (C) David Pabst 1990-1993 All Rights Reserved
-
- Alley-Wall is the most advanced, easiest to use, friendliest, and
- most direct way to post public bulletins (graffiti) to the
- bulletin board users. These are some of the advantages of using
- Alley-Wall over the next "graffiti" wall competitor:
-
- Ansi and ASCII Visual Support
- Alley-Wall uses both ANSI and ASCII menus, bulletins, help
- files, etc... Alley-Wall generates an ANSI bulletin for color
- users and an ASCII bulletin for non-IBM computers or slow
- modem users. Alley-Wall also stamps the time and date of when
- the bulletins were reset (created). * Users now can set
- colors in their bulletins to whatever appeals to them!!! *
-
- Intelligent Programming That Keeps Sysop "House Cleaning" Easy
- Alley-Wall can be set to allow a maximum number of entries on
- the Alley-Wall at one time. For instance, if you set the
- maximum number for 25, and the 26th is entered; Alley-Wall
- will remove the oldest entry, thus making only 25 entries on
- it.
-
- New Entries Can Place Themselves In Two Ways
- Alley-Wall allows the sysop to have new entries to be placed
- at the beginning of the bulletins (On top), or to have new
- entries appended on to the end (This was how all previous
- versions of Alley-Wall worked)
-
- Easy To Use Menus
- Alley-Wall has friendly, colorful menus. These menus can be
- interrupted by the user by typing ^K at any time. Just as
- easy as it was interrupted they can be displayed again using
- the ? key. There are two sets of menus which include ASCII
- and ANSI versions: the Sysop menus, and the user menus.
-
- An Advanced Setup Program
- A new interface was designed solely for programs written by
- me. I incorporated the new interface in the setup program
- for Alley-Wall.
-
- Ease Of Use
- Just hit a key, and the Alley-Wall does its thing. No hard
- commands to learn, no cryptic ancient languages, and a quick
- familiarization time.
-
- Flexibility
- Any of the bulletins can be edited using a text editor or an
- ANSI editor such as TheDraw.
-
- SysOp Commands
- System Operators have special commands just for them to use.
- Such as Kill Alley-Wall Files, See Who Posted What, etc...
-
- Special Lock Out System
- For trouble makers! The SysOp can lock them out of the door
- using a special utility that is included with Alley-Wall.
- This lock out system can also shut down the door for
- temporary purposes.
