Yeah, I've tried a little bit of everything.
I am stumped.

What I am doing is trying to make a trivia door
and the "setstr and getstr " functions are what I'm using.
Only problem is that when you go to answer the question,
if you hit ctrl-c it accepts the command as true and awards ya
50 points. even though you don't type in a damned thing ! :)

Guess I'll run to sync web board and see if Rob's around.

thanks for the help.

When the programing gets tuff, the programer must get creative,. thats my motto.... here's what i would try..

when you get the input, from the user, check to see if it is within the valid limits, example:

if there is a menu that says: (1) do something (2) go someware (Q) Quit.

Check and see if the user enterd eather '1' '2' or 'q', if he didnt, then remove 50 points, because he musta hit ctrl-c, this will compansate you.

it's not a "direct" fix to your problem, but as i said, sometimes you need to be creative. :-)

Doesnt baja let you except command line peramiters????, if so, you could use the old batch file input trick,

where you would have a batch file running, and if you needed to get some input you could use a program witch you rote in a reall programing lang to get the input, and exit with an errorlevel set to the input, or in baja's case the command line peramiter.

Yeah, I've tried a little bit of everything.
I am stumped.

What I am doing is trying to make a trivia door
and the "setstr and getstr " functions are what I'm using.
Only problem is that when you go to answer the question,
if you hit ctrl-c it accepts the command as true and awards ya
50 points. even though you don't type in a damned thing ! :)

Try this (taken from EXEC\DIR.SRC):

copy i _sys_status
and i SS_ABORT
compare i 0
if_not_equal # Ctrl-C hit
print "Aborted.\n"
goto end
end_if

Put this code after your getstr call to check for ctrl-c.

I am not sure as to the next to the last line being needed but the BaJa
docs said it should be the internal code.

EXEC_XTRN is used to execute configured online external programs ONLY. The argument to EXEC_XTRN (the word that you put in quotes) must be the internal code for the external program (as shown in SCFG). The argument is not the name of the executable (with or without a path).

The args: line is part fo the Baja documentation, not the code. See the section titled "Argument Names" on page 21 of BAJA.DOC. So, your example should be changed to:

cmdkey /B
print "\r\nBulletin Menu\r\n"
EXEC_XTRN "BULLETIN"
end_cmd

# EXEC_XTRN "C:\sbbs\xtrn\dbullet\DBULLET"
# args: BULLETIN

I am not sure as to the next to the last line being needed but the BaJa
docs said it should be the internal code.

This should work fine, except that you are trying to execute an External Program, from the External Programs menu, which if your trying to do, will work fine if setup. Anyways, why I'm getting at is that you can not put pathin a EXEC_XTRN, if that's what you wwant to do then delete the ARGS line, and use EXEC "Bleah"

Is this command work only with programs that reside in the \sbbs\exec dir? Can I stick a drive and path in front of the executible?

Yes, I tried that, and it failed miseribly.

#cmdkey /B
# print "\r\nBulletin Menu\r\n"
# EXEC_XTRN "C:\sbbs\xtrn\dbullet\DBULLET"

I am not sure as to the next to the last line being needed but the BaJa docs said it should be the internal code.

EXEC_XTRN is used to execute configured online external programs ONLY. The DM>argument to EXEC_XTRN (the word that you put in quotes) must be the internal DM>code for the external program (as shown in SCFG). The argument is not the na DM>of the executable (with or without a path).

The args: line is part fo the Baja documentation, not the code. See the sect DM>titled "Argument Names" on page 21 of BAJA.DOC. So, your example should be DM>changed to:

cmdkey /B
print "\r\nBulletin Menu\r\n"
EXEC_XTRN "BULLETIN"
end_cmd

And I seem to have exactly that, and yet it just blinks on screen.

I clipped a bit from default.src and captured the scfg screen.

From Default.SRC

Is the /new switch killing me on this? Seems like after it runs once it
wont show again if no new bulletins are present. worth an experiment

Ok so that was it For those that don't know, Dbulletin has some command
line switches on of which is /new this causes the menu to not be show
if there are no new bulletins. I removed the /new switch and now it asks
if you want to read the bulletins if there are none you haven't read
yet. other switches are /force and /noask. Niffty program.

# EXEC_XTRN "C:\sbbs\xtrn\dbullet\DBULLET"

exec_xtrn is to execute a program already configured in scfg as an
external.
Look in the src I sent you and you will see several examples of exec_x
╤ømmµKnøÇkεr

The hold up wasn't with the info you and Digital Man were giving me but
rather the option I had selected for Dbullet. Of course if I had NEW
messages only selected nad the user had just gone thru the Dbullet door.
there would be nothing NEW to see and it didn't show anything. I changed
it to NOASK and all works well. Just needed a good nights sleep to let
it all perk.

Big thanks though to both of you for your help. I had asked Rob about
this on the sync board and he gave me pretty much the same answer. I
just couldn't make it fit. I thank him for giving me a straight answer
when someone else might have blown it off as someone not able to chew
gum and walk at the same time.

BTW is Domain Bulletin still in operation?

No path needed as I wouldn't be executing the pogram from that line but
rather calling the door from the internal database. My problem was the
config I had for the bulletins. Running the program twice would never
show anything the second time with the /NEW switch. Once I realised that
it was simple. I ended up chaging it to /NOASK. Looks good amd tastes
great! Thanks!

Most of the (all actually) don't read the bulletins. But I keep hoping.

So to run a program All I need to do is define it in SCFG and then add
the menu item as with this example... some possiblities come to mind.

It won't hurt anything, but it doesn't really "do" anything either. The BBS can't swap to run a Baja module (since the BBS must be resident in memory to interpret the .bin file), so that parameter (along with the startup directory, intercept I/O, etc) is ignored in the case of Baja modules.

The one way to know for sure is it you get out of memory errors. Also if things run real slow with a particular game then try swapping it. Most of my run of the mill door games are swapped. Most game docs will mention it if it is needed.

Prolly no need to swap most of the doors out but I set them all as I

Well, I still think that would depend. If you are executing a DOS program you might not have enough Conventional Memory. Even running under Windows the Largest Executable program size might depend upon your conventional memory which is limited to 640k. Regardless of how much RAM.

Do a ;MEM command from Sync's Main Menu and you'll see the maximum
conventional memory available with the BBS loaded. Which is the largest possible program that you can execute. Theoretically.

I only had trouble with a couple apps here that wouldn't run swapped out. A Upload Tester and one Door which i don't seem ot recall the name of. I have 256Mb of RAM so I don't think it was a RAM issue :-)

I set all the BBS windows to 600k Conventional Memory Minimum and I usually show about 279k free Conventional from the BBS Prompt.

It's been such a long time that I posted this - I can't exactly remember the whole of the issue for me.

Synchronet comes pre-configured to import DIZ's automatically. But, you mus copy PKZIP.EXE and PKUNZIP.EXE into your SBBS\EXEC directory, or they must b in your path. Putting them in SBBS\EXEC is recommended.

Also, refer to the ADDFILES section of the sysop documentation if you've got lot of files ot upload.

Also, you can only import file_id.diz through the BBS, ADDFILES.EXE will not import the file_id.diz from the zip file. You must use the ;UPLOAD or the ;UPLOAD ALL from the transfer menu, when it starts searching, it will display a line for a short description of the file, and when you press enter, it will import the file_id.diz for the extended description. Pistol Grip and myself like to jam something in the enter key to upload files to the database. If you do this and there is no file_id.diz in the zip, or the file is not a ZIP file, then you will have the description as "No description given for this file.", which can be changed in the TEXT.DAT file.

Addfiles does support importing DIZ's, you just have to use the right combination of command line paramters. Refer to the list below.

Also, what I've done in the past is use a program that will scan all files in a dir and extract the diz into a FILES.BBS file. Then you can just use ADDFILES with FILES.BBS. Similar to how you add a CD with FILES.BBS.
