June 7, 1992 Back Alley BBS! P.O. Box 580542 Tulsa, Ok. 74158 [918]835-0391 300-2400 [918]835-0394 9600 V.32 V.42 V.42bis 14.4 COMING! OVER 2.7 GIGABYTES ON-LINE! 6 NODES CURRENTLY ON-LINE! Hello Fellow Sysops, I worked many hours on these menus, and I feel that they are probably some of the best menu's around for WC3.x. If I can save someone some work on menu's, then I feel that I have helped out some fellow sysops across the nation. I do not expect any fees or compensation for these menu's, if you like them, feel free to use them and drop me a note on my BBS! or at the WC HQ, it would be appreciated. IMPORTANT NOTE: On my BBS, ALL ACCESS LEVELS CONSIST OF 8 LETTERS, SUCH AS *NEWUSER, DONATER1, USER-DUE, EXPIRING, *6MO-DON, ect... ALL ACCESS LEVELS *MUST* CONSIST OF THE SAME NUMBER OF CHARACTERS, i.e. such as 8 characters.. to display properly. [You may make this number 7 ect..just use a .txt editor and edit your menu to compensate for the difference] If this turns out to be to big of a problem, then just delete the @SECLEV@ and edit your menus until they display properly. DO NOT MOVE ANY OTHER CHARACTERS ON THE MENUS, THESE MENUS WERE SET UP TO DISPLAY PROPERLY WHEN LOADED INTO WC3.X.....WHEN THE TIME, DATE, AND SECURITY LEVELS ARE IN PLACE, [providing all sec. levels are 8 characters long..[this is a MUST!,] or remove the @SECLEV@ prompt from the Menus and re-adjust with txt editor. THE MENUS WILL DISPLAY PROPERLY ALTHOUGH THEY DO NOT VIEW PROPERLY UNDER CATCOLOR.EXE. Included in this package are MAIN1.BBS....For use with Call Back Verifiers....[Main 1 or 2 Hook] MAIN3.BBS MAIN5.BBS MAIN8.BBS ...For Expiring Members [On Subscription Systems] MAIN9.BBS ...Sysop Menu FILE3.BBS FILE5.BBS FILE8.BBS....For Expiring Members [On Subscription Systems] FILE9.BBS....Sysop Menu MSG3.BBS MSG5.BBS MSG8.BBS.....For Expiring Members [On Subscription Systems] MSG9.BBS.....Sysop Menu Bulletin.BBS Same Style, allows 60 Bulletins, can customize.. Doors.BBS Same Style, allows 42 Doors, can customize.. Sec Level # 8 [Main8.bbs, File8.bbs, Msg8.bbs] displays a flashing EXPIRATION DATE TO THE USERS..I usually move a donating member into this sec level 10-15 days before Expiration. The "Status:" on all MAIN MENUS will display Memo2 in the user database. (whatever you wish to write in in the user database under MEMO 2) You may edit these Menus with any TXT editor. [Qedit.exe] Edit them to your likings...all other functions will work on these menus. NOTE:....ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR ORIGINAL MENUS, AND A BACKUP OF THESE MENUS UNTIL CUSTOMIZING IS COMPLETED. If you would like to Add your BBS name to the menu's, then just download AFONT.ZIP (AVAILABLE ON WC HQ, OR BACK ALLEY BBS! (free download on Back Alley) and take one menu at a time and re-name it AF.TXT. Place in a .txt editor and erase the name BACK ALLEY. Then you may run the afont program, and select font #3 to come up with the same font style. [The AFONT program will automatically write the FONTS to the File AF.TXT. After doing so, just place the menu into a regular .TXT editor, and Cut and past the name where you wish it. Then rename the Menu back to the original filename. Example: REN Main3.BBS AF.TXT edit using Qedit, (or txt editor), and erase BACK ALLEY. [Run through AFONT Program, do all your Editing] REN AF.TXT Main3.BBS If you have any problems, just drop me a line....will be glad to help..and don't forget to register the Afont program, it is an excellent Sysop utility for creating all types of screens for WC3.x..... If you still have trouble, or just don't wish to mess with trying to upgrade the menus for your BBS name, then just send me $5.00 [for my time and trouble], along with your BBS name and phone number and I will customize the menus for you with your BBS name and upload them to your BBS...just send it to the above address. Make sure to drop me a note and let me know exactly what you wish. BBS NAMES CANNOT BE OVER 12 CHARACTERS IN LENGTH..... Have fun, Randy Meadows Sysop-Back Alley....
