• Displaying a file with no pause

    A few weeks back I asked a question, DM answered, I think I part of his response. My goal is to display a long ANSI file.... From what I see @BPS:38400 will slow the presentation of the file down to look like it's 38400. On the no pause side of things POFF or @POFF doesn't seem to turn the pausing off.ããI have run ANS2ASC to convert the file to its asc format..ãããThanxãIB JoeãAKA Joe SchweierãSysOp Joe's BBSãJoesBBS.comãã---ã þ Synchronet þ JoesBBS.Com, Telnet:23 SSH:22 HTTPS:80ã

Are you referring to some other kind of pause?ã-- ã digital man (rob)ããSynchronet "Real Fact" #51:ãRob Swindell was introduced to BBSing in 1982 by his older brother, Dr. SeussãNorco, CA WX: 58.8øF, 41.0% humidity, 4 mph ESE wind, 0.03 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

I needed to at the @ to the end. Now it displays the complete file without me prompting it but its fast AF. To regulate the speed it's BPS:38400@?? How do I list them... one after each other??ããThanxãIB JoeãAKA Joe SchweierãSysOp Joe's BBSãJoesBBS.comãã---ã þ Synchronet þ JoesBBS.Com, Telnet:23 SSH:22 HTTPS:80ã

I needed to at the @ to the end.ããAll @-codes need to begin and end with the '@' symbol:ãhttps://wiki.synchro.net/custom:atcodesããAnd there are plenty of examples use of @-codes in the text/* and text/menu/* files. Take a look-see.ãã > Now it displays theã > complete file without me prompting it but its fast AF. To regulate theã > speed it's BPS:38400@??ããThere are multiple ways to control the rate of a display file. The BPS @-code only works with a supporting terminal (i.e. SyncTERM). Other methods include the DELAY and (new) LINEDELAY @-codes. You can also specify delays to insert (via Ctrl-A codes) for ANSI files converted to ASC or MSG with the ans2asc utility '-delay' option.ãhttps://wiki.synchro.net/util:ans2asc#optionsãã > How do I list them... one after each other??ããHow do you list what?ã-- ã digital man (rob)ããSynchronet "Real Fact" #42:ãRob Swindell was laughed out of a FidoNet Net103 (OC, Calif.) meeting in 1992ãNorco, CA WX: 50.3øF, 37.0% humidity, 0 mph NNW wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
