iniquity bbs [version 1.00 (alpha26r5) ] <
`².
`²
A large number of you are still confused as to who is doing what to
Iniquity so i have decided to include this again.
Iniquity was first started by Michael Friker.
It was then sold to Michael Pike, after Friker no longer had the time and
energy that was needed to continue the project. With the comming of Pike
we all hoped that iniquity would once again develop into the software it
was in the past.
Things did not go as planned and as we had hoped. Pike was lacking one
key that he would need to develop iniquity, he could not code pascal.
After we releazed this things turned ugly after our devotion and commitment
had been played apon my Pike, and eventually the source code itself
was leaked to the public. Comatose suggested to iniquity's die hard
supporters that the development should now be run by the iniquity sysops
themselves and form a type of group or team of system operators that
wish to continue the development and yet respect its original founders
work and credits where they are due.

Its finally that time again, and ist has release yet
another update of the Iniquity BBS Software.
In this release we have added a few features that users
will like such as a time bank and an ansi abort. We also
have consitrated on making the system more usable for
sysops by adding more sysop alt commands, system variables,
and a few mci codes. The documentation has also been updated
for this release and should contain all new settings and
features since it was last reviewed. Keeping iniquity well
rounded both from the user and from the sysops point of
view is what we are aiming to do.
If you are intested in helping out then email idt@infestation.com
or stop in #iniquity on efnet.

prompt. Press M to move, C to copy it
::WFC Screen
- Pressing ctrl-left/ctrl-right changes the stats window
- Added Windows98 detection
::Menu Commands
- Added menu command:
M# - Keys must be '#' for this to work:
when users enter a number in a menu that has this
command, it will change to that # message area
(like the old rg system)
- Added menu command:
F# - Same as M# but for file areas
::Misc
- Added configurable time slices in misc options
disable if the bbs is to slow (makes telnet faster)
- Added a command to reset a string to its default setting
- ALT-V will edit the current user
- Added invisible mode and an ACS level for it in Login
Configuration (user logon not added to todays callers)
- Added user search for email and user editor
- Added Ansi abort. Ansis can now be aborted by pressing
the space bar. Add |AD at the begining of an ansi file to
disable aborting for that file
- Added a command to list all the menu commands in the menu editor
- Reordered the system config commands
- Changed the protocol limit to 25
::MCI Codes
- Added MCI code parameters
Parameters are after the MCI code, in parentheses
example: %UN(fwmc15,9,1) Also works with wave(~xx) codes
Parameters:
Mx This code will change the length codes output to x characters
Examples:
%UN(M10) -> "ck "
%RN(M10) -> "Chirstos K"
Fx This will capitalize the string in format x.
For example, FU will convert all letters in the string
to upper case.
These are the formats that can be used:
U All letters are converted to upper case.
(example: %IN(fU) -> "INIQUITY")
l All letters are converted to lower case.
(example: %IN(fl) -> "iniquity")
C The first letter of each word will be upper case,
all other will be lower case.
(example: %UN(fC) -> "Christos Karras")
W All vowels will be lower case, other letters will
be upper case
(example: %IN(fw) -> "iNiQuiTY")
3 "31337" : replace: a -> 4
e -> 3
l -> 1
o -> 0
t -> 7
(example: %FA(f3)
(if current file area is "Old Warez" -> "01d w4r3z")
Wx This will return the Xth word.
For example, if the users real name is
Christos Karras, "Mr. %RN(w2)" would become "Mr. Karras"
Cx1,x2,x3... This will insert color codes in the string.
(example: %IN(c15,9,1) -> "|15I|09n|01iquity")
::Wave Codes
-Added a enhanced Message and File area listing system
Lists can be like the classic 1 area per line or
the new 2 areas per line system.
To use the new layout::
Put ~TC in your mareatop.ans/fareatop.ans
Edit mareamid.ans and add for the new listing system
First column-
~AT : Area Name
~AN : Area Number
Second Column-
~T2 : Area Name
~N1 : Area Number
Your layout should be something like this
1 public files 2 crappy files
3 files for rainy days 3 files for sunny days
