Extended Description:
I've watched, with humor, many users log on new, and enter the phone number
wrong. It seems that, even though they have a model to look at, a new user
can almost never remember to enter in the dashes in his/her phone number. So,
at the request of a friend, I have written this mod. It's very simple, and
easy to install, so let's get on with it.
DISCLAIMER:
I will 6NOT0 be held responsible for anything this mod does to your board.
Step 1: Back up your source.
Step 2: Load NEWUSER.C and search for void input_phone(void).
void input_phone(void)
{
int ok,i;
do {
nl();
ansic(3);
pl("Enter your VOICE phone no. in the form:");
ansic(3);
pl(" ###-###-####");
prt(2,":");
mpl(12);
inputl(thisuser.phone,12);
ok=1;
if ((syscfg.sysconfig & sysconfig_free_phone)==0) {
if (strlen(thisuser.phone)!=12)
ok=0;
if ((thisuser.phone[3]!='-') || (thisuser.phone[7]!='-'))
Step 3: Make the following changes/additions:
/* == */ void input_phone(void)
/* == */ {
/* == */ int ok,i;
/* ++ */ char ch;
/* == */
/* == */ do {
/* == */ nl();
/* == */ ansic(3);
/* == */ pl("Enter your VOICE phone no. in the form:");
/* == */ ansic(3);
/* == */ pl(" ###-###-####");
/* == */ prt(2,":");
/* == */ mpl(12);
/* ++ */ for (i=0; i<3; i++)
/* ++ */ thisuser.phone[i]=getche();
/* ++ */ strcat(thisuser.phone,"-");
/* ++ */ prt(7,"-");
/* ++ */ for (i=4; i<7; i++)
/* ++ */ thisuser.phone[i]=getche();
/* ++ */ strcat(thisuser.phone,"-");
/* ++ */ prt(7,"-");
/* ++ */ for (i=8; i<12; i++)
/* ++ */ thisuser.phone[i]=getche();
/* -- */ inputl(thisuser.phone,12); /* DELETE THIS LINE */
/* == */ ok=1;
/* == */ if ((syscfg.sysconfig & sysconfig_free_phone)==0) {
/* == */ if (strlen(thisuser.phone)!=12)
/* == */ ok=0;
/* == */ if ((thisuser.phone[3]!='-') || (thisuser.phone[7]!='-'))
Step 4: Save NEWUSER.C and recompile your BBS.
There, now wasn't that easy? True, it's not a flashy mod, or anything
that you just can't live without, it's just a nice little mod that attempts
to make a simple world a little simpler.
If you use this mod, I would like to know about it. I have currently
written ten mods including this one, and have no idea as to if anybody is
using them. I have received very few notices from people who use my mods.
So, if you use/like/would like to see more mods from me, please, drop me a
line, and let me know.

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
