MODIFICATION FOR DELETION OF WWIVnet POSTS
DELNP.MOD
By: T BADD #1 @8750
v4.12 Optimize East Bay Ray 1@9964


As most of you know, when you post a message on a WWIVnet sub-board, you can
[R]emove it from the local base, but it will still go out over the net. This
is because as soon as the message is saved, it is also saved in a file called
P0.NET. This file will hold all WWIVnet posts until you log off, at which
time it will be added to your main SXXXX.NET file to go to your connecting
system.

By adding this mod, your users will have the ability to delete their WWIVnet
posts that they have made THAT LOGON before they go out over the net. This
is particularly useful for those users who post ANSI screens that mess up.

I had originally run this as a door, but found that many of the users didn't
want to use it because running a door takes away gold from them. So, I moved
it into the code itself, where it can be run from the main menu using the
//DN (Delete Net Post) command.

Mr. Bill is always saying that he would like new mods, no matter how small...
well, M.B., this may be a record holder!

In BBS.C, find the "void mainmenu()" procedure. Somewhere around the
"if ((strcmp(s,"UPLOAD")...etc commands, enter the following text:


if (strcmp(s,"DN")==0) {
sprintf(s, "%sP0.NET", syscfg.datadir);
if (exists(s)) {
full_external("LNET P0",0,1);
sysoplog ("=%=%= Went into Delete User's Own Net Posts =%=%=");
topscreen();
} else {
nl();
prt(3,"You have no outgoing WWIVnet Posts for this logon.");
nl();
}
}


Re-compile, and you're finished! Pretty simple, huh? Of course, I would have
done this long ago, had I known what the LNET.EXE file did!

If you have only one main connection into the WWIVnet, you may also want to
create a sysop command that would allow you to edit any net posts that are
going to be sent. Just change the first line to:

if ((strcmp(s,"SDN")==0) && (so())) {

Also replace any "P0" with "SXXXX" (where XXXX is the number of the node you
connect with for your main WWIVnet link.

Before I get anymore messages saying that it's facist to delete someones net
post, let me say that this should only be used to delete messages that are
either illegal in nature, or are something like a messed up ANSI screen.

If there are any questions...let me know. I can be reached by E-mailing
