Short: Nodemessage sender for DLG/YaHoo by Erno Tuomainen Author: moonlite@sonata.fipnet.fi (Erno Tuomainen) Uploader: moonlite sonata fipnet fi (Erno Tuomainen) Type: comm/dlg Architecture: m68k-amigaos ************************************************************************** * YiPeeMSG 0.26 (08.09.1994) for Dialog Pro by Erno Tuomainen * ************************************************************************** <- The Begin ------------------------------------------------------------> This is a short one! YiPeeMSG was written mainly for the great node utility YaHoo (by Alan Bland). YiPeeMSG is a simple program, but still it utilizes ReqTools.library (by Nico François). <- What advantages does YiPeeMSG have? ----------------------------------> o It opens it's requesters to the screen where it was started from o If command line options are left out, ReqTools are used for asking the strings. o It's small... (?) <- What does YiPeeMSG require? ------------------------------------------> o Atleast OS2.04 o Dialog Pro BB/OS installed and running o DLG.library o ReqTools.library (if command line params left out!) <- Using YiPeeMSG: ------------------------------------------------------> YiPeeMSG has following parameters, all are optional. PORTS portlist to send the message to. Each port must have 3 letters, no spaces between ports (ie. TR0 or TR0TR1TR2) FROM Who is the sender of this message MSG The actual message to send. FROM = F, PORTS = P, MSG = M Any parameter left out will be asked with ReqTools requesters. CLI Example (all in one line): YiPeeMSG PORTS TR0 FROM "Jean Luc Picard" MSG "Yo there Klingons, romulans are comming..." <- Installing YiPeeMSG to YaHoo -----------------------------------------> Add the following line to the YaHoo Config. And restart YaHoo. "gad_user NodeMessage DLGOWN:YiPeeMSG PORTS $1 FROM Sysop" With this installed, you can select a port by clicking on the YaHoo's portlist, and then send a message to that port by clicking on the 'NodeMessage'-gadget on YaHoo. The example below is nice for sending system global messages: (after PORTS insert all ports you have in your system) "gad_glob Broadcast DLGOWN:YiPeeMSG PORTS TR0TR1 FROM Sysop" (thanks Wim :) <- History --------------------------------------------------------------> 08.09.1994 V0.26 Minor change, removed /K from Keywords. Keywords are not required to pass params. If left out, order must be: PORTS,FROM,MSG Added also shortened keywords. 07.09.1994 V0.25 Some "Just on the Safe Side" checkings. Thanks to Wim Rumping for reporting. It now checks every port before it sends anything. 05.09.1994 V0.21 First release <- Thanks to ------------------------------------------------------------> o Alan Bland for making the YaHoo so great and configurable. o Wim Rumping for reporting the Bugs'n Nasties! And testing this in his system. Unbelievable how hard it was to get this working right :-) o Nico François for the great ReqTools.library! o All registered users of MagicFile. o TPT for Dialog BBS software! <- The Author -----------------------------------------------------------> Erno Tuomainen, alias Moonlight Send all flames to >NIL: but all comments can be send to the following adresses.
