CatList is a BBS Listing door that allows you to list you favorite BBS.
The SysOp specifies the number of days that a list may remain current.
At the end of this time, CatList will send you a notification that your
BBS listing has expired. You will receive this notice for 10 days or
until you re-enter the door and update your listing. On the eleventh day
if you have not updated your listing, it will be deleted.
CatList is very simple to use. The options are listed below with a few
remarks.
ADD A BBS - This option is where you first enter your BBS listing.
CatList will prompt you for the necessary information. You
will be asked if the information you have entered is
correct at the completion of each item.
UPDATE - This is the option you must choose to EDIT or UPDATE your
listing. You may choose which item or items you wish to
change or update. If you just want to do a quick update
to keep you listing fresh, choose [Q]uit and it will
automatically update your listing. You will only be able
to update listings that you originally entered.
DELETE - If you wish to delete a BBS that you have listed, select
this option. Once you select [D]elete, the listing will be
deleted with no way to recover it. Be careful! As with
the update, you may only delete listing that you entered.
VIEW - When you select this option, the entire database listing
will scroll on the screen. You will be given the option to
view the information for an individual system.
SEARCH - This selection allows you to do a text search of certain
items of data for each BBS. For instance, if you were to
enter a search string of "ADULT", CatList will search the
BBS Name, SysOp Name, City & Description for any occurrence
of "ADULT" and give you a listing of all entries that
contain that string. You will then be given the option to
view all the information for a particular listing.
AREA CODE - This option functions the same way as SEARCH except that is
searches the Area Code record in the database.
COLOR - This selection allows you to switch from ANSI to ASCII
to RIP. You must have a RIPSCRIP compatible term
program to receive RIP graphics.
CatList creates a full-color bulletin which you may view from the
bulletin menu. A TEXT file is also generated which individual SysOps may
provide for you to download.
