³ Data Entry Program for 144BBS List ³

ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ

|
|
|
I receive many requests for listing systems or for changes of system
|
|
name, number or other items in the 144BBS List each month that have too
|
|
much information, not enough or a combination of both, with essential
|
|
information missing. To help resolve this problem, I wrote this simple
|
|
program to input the only information needed to have a system listed in
|
|
the 144BBS List.
|
|
|
|
- Before starting SUBMIT.COM for the first time, be sure there isn't a
|
|
file named SUBMIT.NEW in the current directory. If it exists, it will
|
|
be appended to by this program and the final results will be
|
|
unpredictable.
|
|
- Press [Enter] on a blank field to Exit data entry at any time.
|
|
- To DROP a system from the list or to submit a change, instead of the
|
|
system name, enter the word DROP in the NAME field and enter the
|
|
current phone number as listed in 144BBS in the PHONE field. All of
|
|
the other fields can contain any printable character - they will be
|
|
ignored. This entry will be dropped from the database.
|
|
- You can then prepare a new entry by running SUBMIT.COM a second time
|
|
to submit the correct information.
|
|
|
|
After you've prepared your entry for 144LIST, it will have been saved as
|
|
SUBMIT.NEW in the current directory. Correctly filled out, this is all
|
|
we need to include your listing. No other information is included in
|
|
144LIST, so save your energy. If there are other numbers you wish to
|
|
submit, run SUBMIT.COM as many times as necessary and those entries will
|
|
be appended to SUBMIT.NEW.
|
|
|
|
If you view SUBMIT.NEW, you will notice that the last field is the date
|
|
you prepare your entry - this date comes from YOUR system clock. It is
|
|
also the date your entry will be classified under in the database. Your
|
|
entry will appear in the 3 months following that date, after which it
|
|
will be dropped. Once dropped, you will have to resubmit your entry. To
|
|
ensure you remain on 144BBS, you can send in a new entry each month if
|
|
you wish, but be sure the DATE field is the date you send the message.
|
|
Post dated entries will be deleted from the database.
|
|
|
|
The final step is to send SUBMIT.NEW as a text message to THE DOWNTOWN
|
|
BBS via Internet E-mail to:
|
|
sysop@dwntwn.com
|
|
or via MajorNet E-mail to:
|
|
SYSOP@DWN.
|
|
|
|
Or, you can call the DownTown BBS at:
|
|
213-484-0260 - up to 14.4K v.32bis or 16.8k ZyXEL
|
|
213-484-0314 - 16.8k HST, 21.6k v.32terbo, 28.8k v.fast class/v.34
|
|
|
|
You can log on using the User_ID LIST and the Password LIST, leave a
|
|
comment to the Sysop account and ASCII upload the SUBMIT.NEW file into
|
|
the text editor or attach it as a file.
|
|
|
|
Remember to renew your entry every three months!
