Re: What's Up??

I took a look at the BoardList VSCRIPT.
The modularity is most impressive.
The two-letter identifiers and code are reminiscent of D.E.C. GiGi BASIC.

I didn't understand the VBBS specific stuff, and a variable legend key would
have been helpful, but looking at the script did answer a few questions I had.

Could FirstClass an Citadel (YAWC) board types be added in?
Doesn't look difficult....

How do you perform a CASE SELECT without an ON..GOTO ?
The jump labels are an obvious solution now that I see them....

Can European Numbers be added in?
Doesn't look any harder than North American numbers....
Actually more Europeans use phone numbers anyway, so it might make more sense
to go with a Quad IP/Dynamic IP when rearranging digits.

I was wondering about adding a freshness "date stamp" ?
Maybe a $DATE can be appended somewhere to a write buffer line....

By the way, what is a "WIN" board?  Is that a WildCat! WINServer-5 board?
Or is it some other board type that I have never heard of?

All-in-all it is quite an impressive script for its 24K, 1960's, two-letter
variables BASIC style.  I was wondering if I should try feeding the script to
a "regular" BASIC, and modernize the routines and identifiers.  That is,
create an offline reader A LA USBBSDOR /L(ocal) for generating entries
without being online.  Is there a limit to the numder of lines, like the 200
line limit for the editor?  I am curious what the format of the data file
looks like....  The coding style has a "clean" feel to it....

Nice Script!  Good code is good code...  in whatever language it is written
in!  (This is making me curious about QUIZ now....)
