Description:
RCS Auto Message v7.2 is written in MPL (Mystic Programming Language) for use
with Mystic BBS v1.12A46+

This mod can be used on it's own as a simple 3liner MPL, or can be used with
RCS Logoff, which will allow users to leave longer messages to the next users.

  rcsauto.mps    Main program script. Must be compiled
  sysop.txt      This information text file
  file_id.diz    ASCII description file for BBS use
  file_id.ans    ANSI description file for BBS use

Files created:
 
  rcsauto.lst    In Mystic's data directory - Contains messages
  rcsauto.tmp    Temporary file used by program

Change Log

7.2   Continued code cleanup, along with adding comments to code, to help
      others to learn. Tried to indicate things that could easily be changed
      to incorporate into other colors/themes.
7.1   Cleaned up code to better optimize it. Changed colors to better match
      that of Castle Rock BBS. 
7.0   Converted code from old MPE format to current MPL. Will now run with 
      Mystic v1.12A46+, probably earlier versions, but not tested.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation:

1) Unarchive and place the rcslogof.mps into your Mystic scripts directory.

2) Go to your shell and run this command from the prompt:

   Windows >
   mplc -t

   Linux and Mac >
   (make sure to give this script the right ownership and permissions)
   ./mplc -t

3) If you've compiled it properly it should give you a success
   response from the terminal and a scrollz.mpx should display from
   the scripts directory.

4) Go to your system configuration.

   Windows >
   (Navigate to your BBS root directory)
   mystic -cfg

   Linux or Mac >
   ./mystic -cfg

   - Move <RIGHT> to the "Editors" Tab

   - Go down to Menu Editor selection

   - Select theme you would like to install into

   - Select the menu you wish to use this on

   - Insert a new command.

   - Enter the name and hotkey

   - Hit tab to get to the bottom of the screen. Change the menu
     item that read Goto Menu, to GX Execute MPL program, and
     the data field should be the name of the program: 'rcsauto color'.
     Color can be BLUE, GREEN, CYAN, RED, MAGENTA, YELLOW, GREY, or if
     left blank, will run with a default color scheme.

5) If used with RCS Logoff, nothing needs to be done. That MPL is already
   set up to call this MPL from the menu.
