Short: Voting Booth prog for DLG BBS - Ver 1.6B Author: Mike Dissinger Uploader: tuskie@cris.com Type: comm/dlg A New and different Voting Booth program for DLG BBS Version 1.6d - July 1996 There are other voting booth programs out there for DLG, but none did what I wanted them to do! So I wrote my own in Arexx and compiled it with RexxPlus. (RexxPlus Library included in this archive) **FEATURES** * Will write a message to a specified message area when a NEW vote topic is created. * When a Vote Topic is deleted.. it can/will write a message to a specified message area giving all the Vote Topic results. * Allows you to create a log on bulletin of voting booth results. Thanks to Ron Reynolds POSTBUL program! (Included) * Can optionally keep a log of who does what. * Can hold up to 16 different vote topics. * Can hold up to 16 vote topic answers per topic. * Will allow any user to add an answer to a topic if there are less then 16 answers and if the creator of the vote topic will allow it. * When a new vote topic is created.. the creator is given the options to enter all answers themselves, which would not allow anyone else to add an answer to the vote topic. * Sysop access to TheVotingBooth is determined by the members name. This is OPTIONAL. * Sysop's have access to remove vote topic, edit vote topic (and all of its fields), delete one or more answers from a topic (not just edit it) and optionally append vote results, to a viewable file from the main main menu, when a vote topic is deleted. * When a QUESTION topic is DELETED by the SysOp (Or anyone else who has access to the SysOp menu) you are given the option to write all of the vote topics QUESTION, TIME FRAME, ANSWERS, PERCENTAGES OF VOTES etc. etc. to a file called [PastVotes.Txt] (Hard Coded Name) and with DLG's Color switches (%a4 etc.), which then CAN be read from within the program by using the 'P' Function on the main menu. This would allow users to read OLD vote results. It is up to you when you want to edit this file down in size (if it grows huge!). * Allows you to create your own text file (or ANSI) that will be shown to all users when they run the program (OPTIONAL). * Can now be run in two seperate places if you wanted one to work just for a particular set of users. * This is FreeWare/ShareWare * For DLG Pro BBS 1.x ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 688 474 31.1% 07-Nov-93 09:49:54 +RPHi 1050 216 79.4% 07-Nov-93 09:49:54 +RPHi.info 14228 7409 47.9% 07-Nov-93 09:49:54 +RPStart 1108 283 74.4% 07-Nov-93 09:49:54 +RPStart.info 1444 357 75.2% 04-Jul-96 09:56:50 CFG.INFOSCREEN 469 291 37.9% 30-Aug-96 21:59:46 CFG.MESSAGE 21 21 0.0% 16-Aug-95 21:28:20 CFG.SYSOP 131 104 20.6% 23-Apr-94 07:51:34 CFG.USERACTIVITY 2285 1100 51.8% 04-Jul-96 10:04:38 File_id.diz 27524 14685 46.6% 02-Sep-94 12:28:36 +rexxplslib.library 10856 6703 38.2% 30-May-93 18:01:30 PostBul 1644 683 58.4% 30-May-93 17:59:04 PostBul.doc 228572 77930 65.9% 27-May-96 17:47:36 TheVotingBooth 18284 6641 63.6% 30-Aug-96 22:07:06 TheVotingBooth.doc -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 308304 116897 62.0% 01-Sep-96 14:11:12 14 files
