well, you would have to insert the ANSI into your BAJA mod I'm assuming ... orãhave your BAJA mod call the .ans file from the script.ãããã---ã þ Synchronet þ Break stuff! ... Damage Inc.ã

You don't convert ansi to bin. ANSI is a Menu File, and BINãfiles are executable BAJA modules. What matrix module is it?ããYou must be confused on something here??

What you see when you run yourãaverage "Matrix" (ugh!) is usually constructed out of a number of complicatedãPRINT statements.ããSo whether you have the .SRC or not, you are going to have to learn to programãin Baja, although having the .SRC to start with would be very helpful!ã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

I wrote that module in like 1993 or so. :-) You are still notãunderstanding that you do not "Insert my ANSI into a BIN file". You don'tãinsert anything in a BIN file. It's precompiled and you can't do anythign withãit except run it.ããI'm not sure what version of my module you are running, but the later versionsãsupported using any ANSI file as a matrix screen. How to do this is fullyãdocumented in the docs included with the module. If you wish, give me yourãemail address and I will send you the latest (freeware) version of the mod. ã ã > Secondly, For some reason I can't my File Bases to see the "FILE_ID.DIZ" filã > and Im stuck having to manually editing the descriptions.. is there an easieã > way of having these descriptions validated?ããSynchronet comes pre-configured to import DIZ's automatically. But, you mustãcopy PKZIP.EXE and PKUNZIP.EXE into your SBBS\EXEC directory, or they must beãin your path. Putting them in SBBS\EXEC is recommended.ããAlso, refer to the ADDFILES section of the sysop documentation if you've got aãlot of files ot upload.ããPGãã---ã þ Synchronet þ WasteLand BBS þ telnet://wasteland.darktech.org ã

It even supports random matrix screens :-)ããPGãã---ã þ Synchronet þ WasteLand BBS þ telnet://wasteland.darktech.org ã
