Time Limit documentation ======================== QuickBBS has not had a method whereby a user can be limited access at events where there are less minutes remaining until the next non-BBS event than the user would normally have. I have implemented a fix that will do the job, as follows: If BinkleyTerm is used, then the "BBS Batch" method must be used to run the BBS. The following batch file extract is for Pcommand: :rpt bt if errorlevel 192 goto bbs if errorlevel 96 goto bbs if errorlevel 48 goto bbs if errorlevel 24 goto bbs if errorlevel 12 goto bbs if errorlevel 3 goto bbs goto rpt :bbs bbsbatch goto rpt This runs BinkleyTerm, and when a BBS call comes in, the BBSBATCH.BAT file is invoked by Pcommand. This second batch file should be in the current working directory when BBSBATCH is invoked: cd blimstor %3 quickbbs -b%1 -h This stores the number of minutes to the next non-BBS event in a temporary file that is created by blimstor. The following should be in WELCOME.DOR: send send Checking available time... send exec blimretr.ttp if *C<=0 then goto continue if *C> O then goto continue send The next event starts in *C minutes. You have until then. send ctime *C goto checked :continue send Available time will not be reduced for this session. send :checked If using QuickBBS 1.02 the ctime should be replaced by time. It is best that QuickBBS 1.06 is used. The programs BLIMSTOR.TTP and BLIMRETR.TTP should be in the QBBS directory. The only problem with this is that if the user spends a long time entering his/her name and reading the logo, userxxx, hotnews and news text files, WELCOME.DOR is delayed in execution until the end of this period. === END OF DOCUMENTATION === This program (c) David J.
