WARNING!

This applications modifies TEXT.DAT. You should make a backup copy 
in case something goes wrong. Remember that this is beta software. 
I can't guarantee there won't be bugs. 

Installation

1. Copy stredit.js to \sbbs\exec

2. Create a new External Program via 
SCFG -> External Programs -> Online Programs 
-> Main -> Available Online Programs...

Use the following parameters:

Online Program Name : String Editor

Internal Code STREDIT
Start-up Directory
Command Line ?stredit
Clean-up Command Line
Execution Cost None
Access Requirements LEVEL 90
Execution Requirements
Multiple Concurrent Users No
Intercept Standard I/O No
Native (32-bit) Executable No
Use Shell to Execute No
Modify User Data No
Execute on Event No
Pause After Execution Yes
BBS Drop File Type None
Place Drop File In Node Directory
Time Options...

You don't have to place this in "Main". It can go in any External 
Program sub-menu. I created one called "SysOp" for external 
program that only the sysop can access.

3. Backup c:\sbbs\ctrl\TEXT.DAT!

Optionally, make a copy of TEXT.DAT (name it something like 
STREDIT.DAT) and edit the value of IN_FILE in stredit.js to use 
this filename. That way you are never actually editing TEXT.DAT.

4. When you launch String Editor, your TEXT.DAT will be read into 
memory. Changes are only saved when you quite the program.

5. Once you've made your changes you'll need to restart your 
telnet sever for changes to take effect. 

If you told stredit.js to use a copy of TEXT.DAT instead of the 
original, you'll need to overwrite TEXT.DAT with your copy.

6. Did I mention you should backup TEXT.DAT?

7. This is beta software. Report bugs to 
blakdeth(at)masqueradebbs(dot)com.
