This is a "Teletext" style simulator add-on server program for G8NPF's Personal message system. This allows users of the PMS to logon and view teletext style pages usually constructed using PC graphics characters. The pages can be viewed on line using the NPFTEXT program using the command "TT" from the main pms. When this is issued, the user will be presented with the first screen (usually PAGE 100 but can be configured to anything). The user will then type the next page to jump to at the Teletext prompt.
The user can also use REQTT (REQuest TeleText) to remotely request files to be forwarded to him. This allows users who can not connect directly to receive pages via the PACKET network.
This is much the same as the NPF version.
Please note that the configuration files are very much different but the actual teletext
pages are compatible. FBBTEXT is for the dos version 5.15 or above (runs ok on the version
7 for dos) of F6FBB BBS program. I have not managed to get it to run with WINFBB 7.0a but
you may like to try yourself as I could not get WINFBB to run particularly well on my
system.
Features
This is the external program for winpack. It should work ok under windows and windows 95. I've only tried it on windows 95. As it is a beta release It may have bugs in it but I did test it before uploading it and all seems well with it as the code is basically the same as FBB/NPF version and as such supports the same features. Please ensure and read the readme file first!
