menu.wcc
(since 5.3.448.4)
If the file semaphore, data\usecolormenu.sem exist, and there is no menu display file for the menu, then WINS will automatically colorized and format the menus for you.
If you want WINS to auto-colorized/format the menus, then create this dummy file data\usecolormenu.sem.
How does this work?
The reason for this open was because we found the default way wcMenu
was creating menus for you was redundant and not "pretty" when you didn't have ANSI BBS menu files. For example, by default, wcMenu
create menus that has the following layout
|
hostkey Menu Text:
------- ----------
X [X]......Whatever X is
Y [Y]......Whatever Y is
Z [Z]......Whatever Z is
^^^^^^^^^ REDUNDANT!!!
|
If you were the type of sysop who relied on the default text, then you were wasting time formatting the menu text. Why not allow the system to format the above automatically?
Now, if the data\usecolormenu.sem file flag option, you can save alot of time by allowing WINServer format the menu. All you have to do is create the menu text like so:
|
hostkey Menu Text:
------- ----------
X Whatever X is
Y Whatever Y is
Z Whatever Z is
etc etc
|
Note
For backward compatibility, you don't need to cleanup the menu text. If it is already in the default format, WINServer will automatically fix it up for you.
