JD> As I recall, Opus used to have an optional *.GBS file 
 JD> which could be displayed to users who were in TTY mode 
 JD> not using ANSI graphics.  For example, if you had a 
 JD> WELCOME.BBS and a WELCOME.GBS in Opus, and the user 
 JD> were TTY, I seem to recall Opus would display the text-
 JD> only .GBS file.  Is there an equivalent in Maximus?
I believe it is the other way around, the "g" standing for graphic(s).
I still have a New Years dropping ball from opus that I use with Max and I 
think it is doing what I wanted the last time I checked...... a year 
ago.....meaning anyone that is not set for colors, movement, etc (tty or 
non-IBM characters) sees the BBS, the others get the GBS.
 JD> ability to display a file, which if memory serves me 
 JD> right was called AREAINFO.BBS or something like that, 
 JD> to users who were entering a specific file area or 
 JD> message area.  This file need only be in the same 
 JD> directory as the file area or message area.  The 
 JD> message area thing puzzles me a bit though with the 
 JD> advent of Squish-base message areas.
Is this what you are looking for?
