Looking over the FINGER command in the Chat menu, and the fingerservice.js file, I am curious as to how some aspects are called.

towit:

if(request.charAt(0)=='?' || request.charAt(0)=='.') { // Handle "special" requests
request=request.slice(1);
switch(request.toLowerCase()) {

case "ver":


IF Iwas curious as to what version system was using, how would I frame the finger command. I have tried a number of permutations but alas no luck.


I have learned the Plan mentioned will display Sync color codes if you wanted to manually edit. c:\sbbs\data\user\0001.plan

{Hmmm I could put a bit of advertising there until a user changes it...}
Did I just type that?

I'm not really sure what you mean by "frame the finger command". The finger request for a system version would be "?ver@hostname" or ".ver@hostname".

With so little to go on, you nailed it.

I asume that format (question mark and one of the other 'case'
choices...) follows.

I guess yor not so dim, after all.

Thanks.

I have learned the Plan mentioned will display Sync color codes if you wanted to manually edit. c:\sbbs\data\user\0001.plan

Depends on what you mean by "display" of course. Putting any control characters in a .plan except for CRLF is officially broken. ^A codes will only work of the finger client parses them which is quite unlikely.

Hmmm if you got the first finger response, in SBBS, the colors should
have display correctly. Shouldn't it?

exit();if((hp = dest.indexOf('@'))==-1)

dest += "@" + system.host_name;
hp = dest.indexOf('@')

{it didn't}

Refer to \exec\finger.js

I'm trying to figure out how to have some simple instructions appear
when the user presses 'F' (See comments above)

I've isolated the part of the JS file I think I need to place the parts.
It's just the structure I am fuzzy on. (as in a fog)

If this IS the right spot, can you add the syntax I need?

Thanks!

Locally it travels well. As did Control-A coded color. I colorized my
.plan file with ANsi color, if you care to check it out finger sysop at
this BBS.

Duece says ANSI code can be a bomb. I don't know enough about this
(ANSI) to tell if it is.

The ANSI console sequences allow you to define a series of keystrokes that
get played back when a particular key is struck. So it would be possible
to devise an ANSI sequence that makes the ENTER key (say) run a command
like "FORMAT C:" or similar. I've never encountered this first-hand.

Well, for people using a VT emulator (such as xterm) sending \x0e will ruin their day unless they know how to recover (sending \x0f)

Looks like he was fingering you from a *nix command-line. Windows comes with a command-line finger utility too. The problem is, the finger service (exec/fingerservice.js) doesn't know whether the finger client is running
from a BBS (which will interpret and expand or strip the Ctrl-A codes) or not. You cannot expect all finger clients to understand Ctrl-A codes or ANSI escape sequenes.

But 'finger' is not a BBS-only protocol. The vast majority of people out there who are in a position to 'finger' your machine will NOT be using
SBBS as a client. Even myself, in the midst of reading messages on an
SBBS system, it was easier to use the OS client than to interrupt the New Message Scan, use the BBS to finger, then restart the New Message Scan in order to respond.
