           by canteen boy.cancer.inbred.illness.i hate signing my
           fucking groups on my sig... damnit


     okay, im not gonna fuck around with correct grammar and shit on
this text file, because i dont really give a fuck, and it doesnt matter
anyways...

     here's how to do it:

        its based on renegade's new %DF mci code, which also allows you
to have unlimited diz's :)  if you dont know what im talking about, then
go download dizzy160.zip from wherever, its a cool utility.  what i did
was i made a seperate file area for message uploads, and the users do a
/u command from the message menu to upload a message, when they press /u
this is what happens:

1. flag set (i used x, you can use whatever) to give them access to the
   file base, and give them mci code access.

2. changes to the file area for the message uploads (i used 1)

3. uploads the message

4. displays messup.ans, which gives them instructions on how to use the
   %DF mci code

5. posts a message in the current message base

6. turns off the ar flag so that they no longer have access to mci codes
   and the special file base


that should be enough instructions that anybody would really need to put
this on their board, but i decided to give you the screen captures of my
things... so here they are:



this is the file base i made, the things you need to have is the dl/ul
path to be your misc path, the flag of your choice to be the acs, i also
put s255 for the access so that sysops can delete ansis that they dont
like or whatever.  the download acs is % for nobody, but you can change
that to whatever, if you want to make it so that users can download
ansis that were uploaded in the messages then that's up to you.

this is the first menu command for the actual upload, this just sets the
'X' flag on, so that users have access to the mci codes and file base

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Menu filename: MESSAGE
Command #27 of 32

1. Long descript :(/U)pload a message

6. Options       :+X

second command, changes to the file area for the message uploads, i
choose 1 as my area, to advoid conflicts and whatever else, you can do
whatever you want to... but 1 is the easiest...

this uploads the message.... if the user doesnt upload anything, he can
still post a message with mci codes... little bug i guess, but nothing
major considering the worst that could happen is he can post an annoying
message...

thats it... if you cant figure it out after i gave you all that, then
you're hopeless...

i didnt include menu files, because this is better so that you can make
your board the way you want to, and there wont be 50 little clones of
eachother. also, i didnt include the menu files because i hate little
dumbshit sysops who just download the newest K-RaDDeST KeWL MoD for
renegade, and they plug in and they have instant K-RaD.. hehe.. if you
cant figure it out yourself, then you're not worth my help :)


why i did this?

    well.. for one, im sick of the 5 posts in a row of some 400 line
ansi that doesnt fit in one message.  also, i figured that somebody else
woulda figured it out soon enough, so i might as well take the credit :)


other shit you dont care about:

if you wanna leave me a comment or question or whatever, then you can
e-mail me at canteen.boy@superstore.com, or you can call my board which
is Urethra!  714-631-1447 (urethra's the name) no nup/nuv whatever... no
ratios either :)       <--- little plug


also, download inbred1.zip from wherever, its inbred's first release.

inbred's a group that i co-founded... its cool, go download it damnit!

       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  another little plug...

and i guess that's it... bu-bye
