- This is a small ARexx program for VLT. It brings up a window on the
- VLT or Workbench screen (whichever is appropriate) with gadgets for
- auto-dialing a selection of BBS numbers.
-
- I downloaded the original version of this program from the FAUG BBS,
- and have modified it extensively, adding features like auto-sizing
- (the window will use as many columns as required by the number of
- entries in the S:VLT.Phone file, and attempt to make the columns as
- evenly-sized as possible), baud-rate setting, and making the program
- cleaner and easier to modify. There are still some ugly spots, but it
- works.
-
- The exception is scripts. The TFL-like format used in S:VLT.Phone
- allows you to specify scripts, but due to problems with the current
- script implementation in VLT, they don't work. Willy Langeveld knows
- of these problems (in fact, he explained them to me); they will be
- corrected in a later revision of the program. Sections of the code
- that I was trying to make work were left in place; perhaps someone
- will find this useful.
-
- The VLTStartup.scp file is a native VLT script. If you start VLT with
- this format:
-
- Run VLTjr REXX:VLTStartup.scp
-
- it will bring up the numbers window when you first enter the program.
- Afterwards, it's handy to assign the program to a function key.
