SEMPER BYTES - Freeware Utilities for Semper from Shark Bytes - 06-Nov-93 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CURS_OFF.TOS --- This program simply turns the cursor off. It was written for FIDOdoor, which leaves a blinking cursor on the screen when loaded from Semper, though it's quite possible it could be useful with other programs. Instructions: Set up a Function to load FIDOdoor, if you don't already have one. Simply add CURS_OFF.TOS as the program following FIDOdoor. No command line is needed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MOUSE_ON.PRG --- This program simply turns the mouse pointer on. It was written for programs, such as BBS Express! ST, which leave no mouse pointer on the screen when they exit to Semper. Instructions: Simply add this last to the Function of the offending program. No command line is needed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SEMP_MDM.TTP --- This utility was written for BBS Express! ST. It is designed to write a proper BINKLEY.MDM file for your callers. It does this by reading the BBS.BAT created by Semper and parsing the caller's baud rate. If you don't run BBS Express! ST, it's highly doubtful this program will do anything useful for you. Instructions: First place SEMP_MDM.TTP in your main BBS directory. Next, create a Function in Semper to load your BBS. The first program in this Function should be SEMP_MDM.TTP, with the path to your Semper directory in the command line. A trailing backslash is required. The second program in your Function should be BBS.PRG, which, of course, does not need a command line. And finally, add this Function in Semper's "Other" menu. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you have any problems or questions with these utilities, you can contact me, Terry May, at The Rebel BBS at 702/435-0786.
