(Does NOT interfere with dialing number. See 'Reason Codes', below) NR = Not-Rated (see below) [Location: 'comments' area] Format: NR(date)-("Rsn" [reason code] [Empty] [NEW] [Too Slow]) Reason Codes: ============ 1. Long distance callers are purged at less than 90-day intervals; 2. Some Qbbs or Tbbs boards where there is no global 'deselect' command for message areas; or your choices are not SAVED as a permanent part of your user-record; forcing you to individually deactivate unwanted message areas every time you call! 3. Boards with long, inane questionnaires, and/or very slow response, and/or little to offer for the trouble. Inconsiderate of L.D. users. Many purge L.D. callers routinely, forcing re-reg. at each call; 4. Bbs's that discriminate against, or permanently ban callers based upon their physical location in relation to the bbs. 5. Out of state/country bbs's that insist on calling users collect in order to verify them. These are flagged merely to warn prospective callers in advance, and do NOT otherwise reflect in any way on the quality of the bbs! 6. Sysops that are excessively abusive or inconsiderate of users. 7. Boards requiring multiple phone calls to do anything; sometimes even to find out if the bbs supports the user's machine! 8. STORE-run bbs's that additionally charge users for access. 9. Bbs's ('Image bbs' is notorious) using control characters in the menus that force Amiga into the alternate character set, rendering the display unreadable after every few lines displayed. 9600Baud and higher Modem Identification: ======================================== HST = USRobotics HSTv32 = USRobotics V32 HST-DS = USR-Dual Standard Hay = Hayes Tbz or PeP = Trailblazer MaX = Microcom 9600/Ax ========================================================================== Any text editor with a global SEARCH and REPLACE option can be used to locate almost ANY specific type or location of any bbs in the WORLD. The various bbs codes are CASE SENSITIVE, so your text editor should be able to distinguish between upper/lower case! (I suggest TXed, by MicroSmiths... it's small enough to allow the entire Final List(tm) to be edited on a 512k machine.. but do NOT multitask! 1. WHAT YOU CAN SEARCH FOR: a) BBS Software type: (use the abbreviations furnished in TFL); b) High rated boards: Pick a rating level below which you DON'T want to search, then simply enter the desired rating in the 'search' string.. i.e. 'M6', 'M7', 'M8', 'M9' or 'M0' for above average message bases, or 'F6', 'F7', 'F8', 'F9' or 'F0' for above-average file sections. Don't forget that '0' now stands for TEN, and is the HIGHEST possible rating, NOT the lowest! :->.. You'll have to repeat the search sequence for each desired rating value; c) STATE: Enter the 2-letter state abbreviation (in capitals) followed by a period. A 'search' will take you directly to the TOP of that state/country's listings; d) AREA CODE: enter the desired area code into the search gadget, followed by a dash "-" (the dash is MANDATORY!); e) PC-Pursuitable boards: enter "+" as the search pattern; f) Starlink-able boards: enter "*" as the search pattern; g) NEW bbs's to this edition: enter "" (alt-n) as the search pattern h) BBS's CHANGED since last edition: enter "©" (alt-e) as the search pattern; i) PAY-BBS's: enter "$" as the search pattern; j) Private boards: enter "(space)PvT (space)" as the search pattern; k) Fidonet Boards: there are two ways to do this; if you KNOW the node number, enter it as "@nnn/nnn" (number of digits may vary); or enter "Fi@" to search through ALL the fidonet boards; l) Citadel Net boards: enter "Ci@" to search through all the networking citadel bbs's; m) ExpressNet: enter "Xs@"; n) GT-powercomm Network: enter "Gt@"; o) Fnet: "Fr@"; p) PunterNet: enter "Pu@"; q) WWIVnet: enter "Ww@"; r) Unix/Usenet: enter "UU@"; s) Phoenix-Net: enter "Px@"; t) Bbs's (all networks) supporting Echomail: enter "Echo"; u) Just about anything you can imagine, you can locate INSTANTLY using this method... for instance.. to find Starlink-able boards in Arizona that are also NEW, enter: "*AZ" 2. WHAT NOT TO SEARCH FOR: a) Searching for specific BBS NAME is NOT recommended, as many are abbreviated to save space, & there are a lot of duplicate names :-) b) Don't search for ANYTHING, until you go to the top of TFL, then search forward for the string: "TOP." this bypasses the text header, which might otherwise result in false positive matches. ============================================================================= E.
