A sysop asked about how to Pause the display of a file. It's a file that is generated by his Door program so editing it to insert the |PA manually was not an option.
There is probably another way to do this, but I wrote a program that
would work for adding a |PA at specific locations in a file. Lets say you wanted to add a pause every 20 lines in a BBS Door Scores file... or even a text file to be displayed in your Bulletins.
Simply run the program in your Batch file that runs the door, after the door exits, you could run the program and then copy the results to your bulletin file.
CD DOOR
DOOR
INSERTPA.EXE doorbul.bbs 20 doorbul.new
Copy doorbul.new c:\mystic\text\bullet12.asc
It's easy and you can set the 20 to whatever length (or line count) that you want and it will insert a |PA every ## lines in the file...
This may or may not be useful for those out there...
It's available on my BBS now, Freeware... Download it by logging onto my BBS and Searching for file INSERTPA.ZIP .
Enjoy...
