We are up dated , notice the new command line shut down . any issues let me know ...
+ MIS will now shutdown if a "mis.shutdown" Semaphore file exists in the
semaphore directory. MIS may take up to 10 seconds before it notices the
semaphore and begins to shutdown.
+ The "mis shutdown" command now uses this shutdown Semaphore file instead of
OS-level functions. This means that the shutdown command will now work in
Windows.
+ New ANSI viewer has now replaced the old one. The new one has a few new
features most notably is that is uses the newer template system and also
can load varible sized ANSIs in a virtual canvas space. What does that
mean? It means for example you can load a 160 column ANSI while you're
only in 80 columns and then use the left/right arrows, the new TAB view,
or new page left/right functions to scroll around the file. A new second
percentage/graph bar is provided for X axis bars in addition to the
existing Y axis in the old viewer.
Other new features include prompting for the baud rate when pressing SPACE
to show file as a traditional scroller. The defaults for columns and baud
can be set by template or overridden by menu command options.
The format for the GV menu command has changed very slightly to also conform
to newer standards used within Mystic BBS:
/END : Causes file to begin displaying at the end of the ANSI
/COLS=x : Override default columns to render the file (ie /cols=160)
/BAUD=x : Set default baud rate when scroller viewing (ie /baud=19200)
New default templates have been provided and should be copied into your
themes when upgrading: ansiview.ini and ansiview.ans. These replace the
old ansiviewer.ans in the default installation.
Changed the default ANSI file view on the Demo menu to now use a 132 column
ANSI done by BBS advocate and otherwise sick ass artist Smooth (A rendition
of the Mistigris logo which is also a great group of creative people check
all of them out if you never have)
+ The ANSI archive viewer template (archive_view.ini) has a new option in
the [Options] stanza called "viewer" which sets the viewer template to use
when calling the ANSI file viewer (defaults to ansiview if undefined)
... Anything is possible if you don't know what you're talking about
