Short: DayDream BBS Software v1.28.
Author: c-lous@freenet.hut.fi
Uploader: c-lous@freenet.hut.fi
Version: 1.28
Type: comm/bbs
Requires: OS2.04+, 2Mb
DayDream BBS is written in 100% assembler and is therefor one of the
fastest BBS programs availiable on Amiga today.
Features
~~~~~~~~
- DayDream BBS looks like AmiExpress, which is a much loved and hated
BBS software. Most of the people who like AmiExpress like it because of
it's simpliness and because it's very fast to use. However, AmiExpress
requires a very fast CPU to operate smoothly and the configurability is
rather poor too. DayDream fixes the major problems found in AmiX.
- 100% assembly code. DayDream is probably the fastest BBS-software
ever.
- Number of conferences is limited to 64. Each conference can have up to
254 messagebases and fileareas. 64*254 = 16256 (or for Pentium users
16255.999999987.)
- Maximum security. Each user can have their own securitysettings, but
defaults are taken by securitylevel. Every command in DayDream can be
toggled on/off.
- Basic utilities and doors are included in distribution archive. For
example: Faker, whof, new, top list -utilities, weektop etc.
- Configuration is done via an ascii file. This enables quick modifica-
tions to the BBS' settings. Asciifile is converted to binaryformat
with utility called DreamConfig. It takes about 1 sec to compile
the datafiles with it.
- If you don't like editing Textfile, there's a MUI based configprogram
included. (Read MUIConfig.DOC!)
- Superb upload handling. Full support for file_id.diz, gets date from
file_id.diz (if wanted), built-in offline checking, adds file_id.diz
to archives if it didn't exist etc.
- Strings and prompts can be re-defined, so you can customize your BBS
any way you like.
- You can have 254 different displaymodes. Each displaymode can have
it's own characterconversiontables (=no more linefeeds), prompts and
strings and textfiles.
- Multinode support. Supports up to 254 nodes in theory. I suppose you
can have at least 5 nodes on regular 030 without too high CPU-Load.
- Door formats supported: DayDream, ARexx, Paragon, stdio. AmiExpress
preudo-rexx "XIM" doors work via external emulation.
- Supports XPR-Protocols, Hydra+SModem (Bidirectional w/ chat).
- Supports FTP-transfers. There's a custom ftpd for DD to have on-the-fly
dupechecking.
- Cheap. DayDream costs only 300SEK or 55USD.
- Everything else except DDHydra and SModem can be made resident!
- And once again, it's fast, it's cheap, and it's nice. :-)
Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- KickStart 2.04 (V37) or higher.
- Fifo.library and l:fifo-handler running (for stdio doors etc.)
- Reqtools.library
Support

DayDream is currently being developed at full speed and I intend to
continue as long as there is any interest in this program.
If you have any comments, discover some bugs or have any suggestions etc
feel free to send E-Mail to me at: daydreambbs@geocities.com

===( Version 1.28 - 250297 )==============================================
- Removed some unused code in the server.
- Enhanched (?) the look of the server (Finally!)
- Added 4 configurable buttons to the server.
- Enhanched DreamNew a bit. Does not use BS when printing filelist anymore,
as this causes trouble if you have destructive BS turned on.
- GR command is faster now.
- Shutting down the server now kills all active nodes.
WARNING! This will also kick any users out without warning, so check
the node status before you close the server window.
- Enhanched the XPR window a bit.
- Added a new option to multinode.dat: Faster local output. This is
done by opening a screen with only 4 colours, and on my 030/50 this
really made a difference. =)
- Fixed a bug with private mail.
- Fixed a couple of small bugs in MUIConfig.
- Corrected saving of TXT config from MUIConfig, sometimes it could not
be compiled with DreamConfig.
- DayDream now reinitializes the modem if there is no local or remote
activity for 10 minutes.
- DayDream now displays amount of time since last call at first output
of a new caller.
- A message is written to the log if user paged sysop and the sysop was
away. Like: 'Operator paged at 19:14:38, but he was away.'
- Added new doorcommand: UpdateUserRec(). This will force DayDream to update
a userstruct to disk.
- Doorcommands ShowCursor() and HideCursor() are now obsolete.DayDream performs
this all by itself during text output if the user flag 'Speed Up Output' is
set to ON.
- Recompiled kalacon.device for 020+ and 000, with some new optimizations.
Got bigger, but should be a bit faster.
- Fixed configurable string to "Move flagged files (Yes/No)".
- Enhanched internal Move command. Now it can move all flagged files to same
destination conf/dir.
- Added autoaway feature. If the sysop is away from the keyboard or the mouse
for more than a configurable amount of time, he is automaticly set as being
away.
- Changed local download path prompt to path requester.
- Optimized some common string handling routines.
- Optimized DreamNew quite a bit.
- Fixed DreamFaker to have reverse scanning of uploadlog. Forward scanning
caused alot of problems that should be fixed now.
- Optimized (F) and (N) commands quite a bit.
- Fixed an error in the DayDream.CFG. OwnDir and 16Col was swapped.
Thanks to Dr.K.Oss for the tip!
- Added a new doorcommand: SetAccPreset() to set a users access preset.
Thanks to Wolfman for pushing me! :-)
- Fixed an error in local download path requester. Caused gurus.
- Fixed cursor movement in F/N/NS command. Caused gurus.
- Added a new powerful doorcommand: SearchUser()
Once again thanks to Wolfman.
- Added a server/node startup script written in Arexx. Edit and try it out!
- Added new format codes to show number of tagged files.
F for prompts and # for textfiles.
- Optimized the rexxdoor interface a bit.
- Fixed the XPR window to open on a NTSC screen aswell.
Thanks to Shen/DC for having problems.. :)
- Added some more verbose(!) output if modem initialization fails.
- Fixed a potential problem with the Server's inputhandler.
- Made a new MsgBaseOpt program, the old one more like CAUSED errors than
corrected them. Use with caution though.
- Fixed an error in the installer script that caused hangs. (Donno why though :)
