- After installing ra_new (a great new files searcher) I got irrita-
- ted by the fact, that users who logged on to my board using IEMSI
- got the internal newfiles search everytime instead of my external
- new file viewer. So I decided to make this little thingy that
- takes care of my problems.
-
- ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
-
- What does it do? It reads a RA 2.00 Exitinfo.BBS, checks if the
- user has IEMSI on, then checks if a user requested a newfile
- search, and if this is all true, it will turn a certain flag on
- and kill the new files search request in the profile. If the user
- did not request the new files search or has no IEMSI on the flag
- is resetted.

-
- How to install?
-
- I am sorry, not as easy as normal. The problem is that this
- program has to be run prior to RA's internal new files viewer.
- There is however a way, using the ^X textfile shell. Be sure to
- active that in RaConfig, and add the following line to your
- welcome.a?? (I suggest placing it on top, screens can be aborted
- using the S you know ;-)) :
-
- ^X<Path>INW2FLAG.EXE <Flag1> <Flag2>|
-
- Where the second flag is optional. When you enter this one, it
- will be cleared when an IEMSI call was made, and set if a non-
- IEMSI call was made. This way you can use an external new files
- viewer for normal users too. If you use RA_new 1.6 or later you
- can even ask if the user wants to see new files and also show them
- without a prompt..
-
- Example:
-
- ^Xc:\ra\inw2flag.exe d1 d2|
-
- This will toggle flag d1 depending on the IEMSI-profile of the
- user, and set d2 if it was a non-IEMSI call.
-
- Note: You hate people viewing newfiles during login? Just ignoring
- the above flags is enough to make them cry ;-)
-
- At my system, flag d1 automaticly starts up RA_New with the /N
-
-
-
-
-
- parameter, so the user gets the new fileslist without a question
- prompt (he already said he would like to see it). Flag d2 starts
- up RA_new with the /A parameter, asking if he would like to see
- the newfiles list.
