= Welcome to the Enthral BBS project = Enthral is a fresh look at the old school art of bbsing. It's a fresh face to an old favourite. Although Enthral is still in it's alpha stages, the system is quite stable and is already very feature rich. Currently available for Linux, BSD, and Apple's OS X. [[TOC(WikiStart, install)]] Some Basic features include (With lots more to come!): * Forum Style Menu System using TEXT INI files instead of Binary Data files and with Full Lightbars, Optional Random Scrolling Text Commands. * Matrix Login System * Language File for Easy Editing of Basic Prompts. With Basic MCI Codes for X/Y, New Line, Clear Screen, And Other Essential ones. * Full Screen Mesasge Area Listing, with INI Config file for Ansi Layout and Theme Switching with Full Access to a Menu/Menu System for configurable Lightbar Menu Prompts with Hotkeys. Lightbar Menu Prompts with Hotkeys. With the ability To Tag Select all, Clear All, and type tag ranges either by using a range 1-10 or slections 1,2,3,4.. or a mix of the 2 like 1-3,6-7. Typing a line number with toggle selected or deselect a line to quote. * Themes for Full Screen Interfaces work like msgread.ini, adding themes you would create msgread1.ini 1-unlimited # And the BBS System will read these in and switch to the layout defined in the incremented ini files. All Themes are switchable Instead of the Seperate Full Screen System usually with the [ and ] keys, with the need to edit the Reader and goto any config menu. * Full PIPE Color Code Support for Foreground and Background colors * CTRL Keys like CTRL + Y will clear any input line of text to start over fresh. * Data Areas: A Dynamic System working a bit like a menu system where you program input commands and assign MCI Codes for the Data Fields and setup custom ansi to be parsed and display your data. With the ability to Limit The number of Records for a list like Onelienrs, or to set unlimited and use this to hold Infoform and Application data from the user. Some Features are the ability to Pass MCI Codes with a Users or Systems Current Data so that you can build systems like the following. Oneliners, Last Callers, BBS List, History Stats and much more. == Downloads == You can download the latest alpha source and OS X build from our [http://www.enthralbbs.com/downloads Downloads] section or you can grab the latest code via the svn repo by issuing the following command from a terminal: {{{ svn --username svn co http://svn.enthralbbs.com/source }}} You can download the latest '''pre'''-alpha source [developmental builds] by issuing the following command from a terminal: {{{ svn --username svn co http://svn.enthralbbs.com/trunk }}} == Support == Installation instructions can be found in the source:trunk/README file Esc's excellent how-to on setting up dos door games under dosemu can be found in the source:trunk/docs/dosdoors.txt file If you find any bugs please let us know by [http://www.enthralbbs.com/newticket opening up a ticket].
