- Whats in store for RASIS ??
-
- NOTE: Now that RASIS 2.02 is out, there will be
- less delay in releasing the next version. I would
- guess you can expect, baring unforseen delays, a new
- release of RASIS in 3 to 4 months at a maximum.
- No Guarentees though.... <smile>
-
- o Next version should see some fairly major renovation on the menu
- structure. Some of the planned features call for a better grouping
- of items, so the "menu trees" will change somewhat.
-
- o Had planned on Context Sensitive Help system, utilizing the
- RASIS.DOC file, but did not make it for this release.
- Should be in the next one, though Im not really sure this is
- needed, as once you get the hang of it, its really simple..
-
- But perhaps one for SetupSis is called for. Your response?
-
- o A FULL Message Stats Report,
- Showing Total Messages, Total Echo/Net/Local areas, JAM Stats and more!
-
- Again, planned for this release and didn't make it.
-
- o The SisAnsi module will have a hotkey to call your favorite Ansi Editor
- while viewing. Either from the picklist window, the display screen,
- or possibly both.
-
- o The Editor Menu will add an option to Edit your RA Q-A files
- from within RASIS. I wanted this in 2.02, but forgot to implement
- BEFORE I did the upgrade program, now it will have to wait...
- Requires more changes to RASIS.CFG.
- Or, I may have a menu just for questionaires and answer files...
-
- o When SetUpSis creates a NEW configuration file, some of the required
- information on paths/filenames is pulled from the CONFIG.RA file.
- With the next version (2.03) the UPGRADE program will fill in new
- fields with info from CONFIG.RA if possible.
-
- o Macro support, run macro in RASIS, also load macro at startup.
- ie: View specific user record, UUUS*rn would go
- USER - USER REPORTS - USER RECORD - SPECIFY USER
- then insert the NameMacro for Rand Nowell, and generate report.
-
- o Plan to add some more filters for reports/messages etc.
- Possible are: Days Since Last Call >=< ###
- Users Age >=< ###
- Anyone have use for LOCATION filter??
-
-
- o RSU - Sysop Util Program, will of course have some more modules
- added to it.
-
- o A "Report Stack", save a list of most run reports to file, and
- automatically run these with a command line option. (To FILE/PRN)
- (Still debating.... your response?) (and still not sure if it will work)
-
- o Will "probably" supply a user interface, for RSU from within RASIS.
- Something similar to the Norton Integrator....
-
- o On large systems, with lots of file/message areas, reports can get rather
- large, and the internal viewer may not be able to handle the complete
- file. Next version will allow you to specify a text viewer, just
- like the regualr "Viewer" to be used instead of the internal one,
- should you run into this problem.
-
- During the UPGRADE process, this will be set to the External Viewer,
- if one has been specified. Then can be edited if desired.
-
- o Looking at, working on, a complete User Validation section for RASIS,
- ie: View the New User Questionaire, verify phones,
- set security and flags, post a message....
-
- o Some other User/File reports comming too.
-
- o Some ideas in mind for RA File stuff....
