Dreamcall v1.05 - (c) S.Gillibrand 1996-97
 =============================================================================


 =============================================================================

History:

1.0-1.02 - Internal alpha releases.
1.03     - Public release (very messy installer script, rushed to get on
           Aminet!)
1.04     - Changed "new ansi/asccii" routines to be run when user logs on
           so as not to display the previous day's callers if the user was
           the first to logon for that day. Cleaned up the installer script
           and removed errors / added improvements.
1.05     - The ANSIs and ASCIIs created for the callers that day are now
           deleted by a midnight script / cron entry for ease of use.

 =============================================================================


 Dreamcall is a "todays callers" programme for TransAmiga bbs, largely modelled
 on the default programme issued with the PC bbs s/w "Remote Access".

 Simple to install and use.

 Simply use the commodore installer provided.

 Copy the two files in the text/ subdirectory to your bbs:text/ directory.
 Copy the files in the rexx/ subdirectory to your bbs:rexx/ directory.

 Add a line to your logoff.trans that calls "BBS:REXX/DREAMCALL.TRANS".

 --><-----------------
 call 'bbs:rexx/dreamcall.trans'
 --><-----------------

 Add a line to your logon.trans (etc.) to display the callers to your users.

 --><-----------------
 call 'bbs:rexx/dreamview.trans'
 --><-----------------

 Add an option to your main.rx file (etc.) to allow the users to view today's
 callers for different lines.

 --><-----------------
 ' View Today's Callers    10 -------- dreamview.trans
 --><-----------------

*** Midnight script addition.

 In order for dreamcall to refresh the ANSIs everyday so as to only show TODAYs
 callers, you must insert an entry into your midnight script or add an event
 at 00:00 (midnight) into your cron file. e.g.

 (amicron)

00 00 * * * delete bbs:text/dreamcall_#?[0-9]#? >NIL:

 adding the above line to the crontab will delete the old ANSIs for that day.

 Alternitavely add the following to the start of your midnight script:

 delete bbs:text/dreamcall_#?[0-9]#? >NIL:

 Replacing [bbs:text/] with the path to your BBS text directory.

*** ------------------------------- ***

... and that's about it for now ppl :).

** Edit dreamcall.trans and dreamdisp.trans to change the paths if need be.
