 ml> wait, what?? didn't you just write this:

The applet is made to go on the BBS screens or menus. You still to log onto
the BBS but you don't need to get into the room to know if ther is other
people chatting there already. There is 2 applet "styles", one is just a
single bar like this:

   MRC[ON-LINE]  BBS[35 ] Rooms[ 1 ] Usr[ 3 ] Act[MED]

That way, you know how many BBSes are connected, how many rooms are
connected, how many users total and what is the activity level. If you put
this on your main menu for example, users will be aware on the spot there is
something going on and may decide to join.

You have to log on the BBS. But this gave me an interesting idea tho. More to
come if I can implement it :)

Cheers!
