----- PIRegistry v0.4ß by Benjamin Ortega -----
This is a little program I wrote in an afternoon, but I thought it was pretty
cool, so here it is. It asks a user a list of questions, and then other users
can access that user's responses. The code isn't particularly well-written,
but give me a break, this is my first attempt at a viable BASIC door, let
alone a MaxsBBS door :)
Good things:
- helps users get to know each other and gives your BBS a more friendly
feel
- is the only door of it's type to work with MaxsBBS (to the best of my
knowledge, anyway)
- gives me the ability tell tell people I'm a coder (barely!)
Bad things:
- has some odd bugs:
- Because of the way I did the file I/O routines, the registry will look
funny if the user uses a " in their Registry. This is especially bad for the
"Height:" field. I put in a few reminders :)
- Every time a data file is written, the progam creates an icon for it!
Can anyone fix this?
- since I'm not much of a programmer, the program isn't really all that
professional-looking. Does the job though.
Future plans:
- Sysop-definable questions (if not, I'll just throw in the source code)
- Improved file I/O to get rid of the " bug.
- Nicer example menu
- More well-written code in general
Registration:
It's E-mailware. If you put this online, send me an me an E-mail and I can
send you a version with your BBS name in the opening text and the list of
questions you want to appear in the program. Either that or I can just send
you the source and you can do whatever the hell you want with it (Just
thought I'd hold something out so you'd have to cantact me :)
Failing that, send me your Amiga BASIC manual and all your old college
BASIC (and/or C or Pascal) books if you ain't using them. It's for a good
cause!
Anyway, have fun with it, and there's further info in the docs in the archive.
I plan to update this; I'll post them on Aminet (look ma, I'm on a CD!),
through my BBS (see below), and possibly on the MaxsBBS mailing list.
