The fields shouldn't be labeled handle, password, etc. Instead they
|
|||
|
|
should be String[1..n] Int[1..n] etc. This makes them easily
|
|||
|
|
redefinable and MUCH easier to write an editor for. A file of
|
|||
|
|
names attached to each one can be set up, just like a file giving
|
|||
|
|
names to each of the perms. This way someone editting a user can
|
|||
|
|
pick a field by #/whatever and you just prompt for the appropriate
|
|||
|
|
type and wallah. Some of these things will be user definable on
|
|||
|
|
line and the code should not be huge brute force type shit.

Notes - heres some of my thoughts
|
|||
|
|
-----
|
|||
|
|
I don't like questions. In a lot of places in genesis you press
|
|||
|
|
an option and it asks you ten things before it works. Like the
|
|||
|
|
[R]egistered users thing. YOu have to hit R, L, L before you get
|
|||
|
|
what you want.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The new software should have options that are preset and can easily
|
|||
|
|
be toggled / changed, but always a go key only one level deep. Using
|
|||
|
|
the Registered users example. R should pull up a menu with all the
|
|||
|
|
sort and select information set with default values, and key to
|
|||
|
|
start listing with the current setups.
|
|||
|
|
--
|
|||
|
|
The way genesis gets accounts is atrocious. For new users its full
|
|||
|
|
of ambiguous questions.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For each field it fills, the screen should clear and a brief
|
|||
|
|
description of what the user should answer is given (not just a prompt)
|
|||
|
|
followed by a prompt. If a CR / blank entry is recieved a meaty
|
|||
|
|
help should pop up.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For terminal selection ask the user what computer type and assume line
|
|||
|
|
feeds and screen width. Next if they have color, then if they are
|
|||
|
|
emulating a certain terminal type (again the brief description would
|
|||
|
|
ward off new users and a beefy help if they enter something incorrect
|
|||
|
|
or the user wants more info.
|
|||

Multiline
|
|||
|
|
---------
|
|||
|
|
How is this going to be done? To make it multiline, there needs to
|
|||
|
|
be some fancy interrups or more realistically, make it event driven.
|
|||
|
|
This means there needs to be a separate record of global variables
|
|||
|
|
for each active port. Uh.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Send - decides to where : local if local logon or watching
|
|||
|
|
what port etc (even if not multiline)
|
|||
|
|
to screen dump if active
|
|||
|
|
Send file - handles messages, bulletins, menus, everything
|
|||
|
|
Send string - handles emulation of terminals, color, etc.
|
|||
|
|
Send local - handles local emulation (color at least, portability? :-)
|
|||
|
|
Send char - drops characters into the io buffers.

Someday
|
|||
|
|
-------
|
|||
|
|
Mini-networking. Able to send mail to local BBS or remote systems.<2E><><01><> Not conferencing, just mail. If a letter could be transferred to
|
|||
|
|
the DMG, for instance, from there it might be able to hop on a fido
|
|||
|
|
net (since there is none here) or FUBAR and onto internet and on to
|
|||
|
|
the rest of the world.
|

If only PC Persuit would come to town.
