InterBBS OneLiner Description-------------------------------------------------

  InterBBS OneLiner is a Mystic MPY app that replaces the local one-liner 
  feature of Mystic BBS.  As it says in the name, InterBBS OneLiner is a 
  oneliner that spans all the BBSes on a FidoNet-Style or QWKnet message 
  network.

  OneLiners that are added on one BBS are replicated on all the other BBSes 
  on the message network.


+ Features include:
  
  o The OneLiner Wall can list 1 to 1000 entries
  o Uses a Mystic message base as a database.
  o The sysop can delete messages simply by deleting the message from the 
    message base.
  o Entries to the OneLiner are sent to all other BBSes on the network by 
    echomail export


NOTE!!! This app requires Mystic BBS v1.12a37 or later.
NOTE!!! This app requires Python 2.7.x installed as per the python.txt Mystic docs


InterBBS OneLiner MPY Intallation-----------------------------------------------------

o Place the ibol.mpy in the Mystic SCRIPTS directory 
o Place the ibol.ans and ibolhdr.ans in the Mystic TEXT directory

o Add InterBBS OneLiner to your desired menu.  The Mystic menu type is GY for running 
  a script. There is only one required parameter.  Add the ID# of the network data
  echo base.

  For instance: The FSX_DAT echo of FSXNet can be used as a data echo.  On Cyberia BBS
  the FSX_DAT echo is message base ID#53.  Use this number as the parameter.

Type: GY
Data: ibol 53

Bug Fixes/History-------------------------------------------------------------

12/13/2017 Version 0.01 is the first release.  
12/18/2017 Bug fixes.
           - Added the prompt to let the user decide whether or not to post
             the oneliner.
           - A truncated version of the list now gets displayed at startup.
           - The length of the truncated list is definable via
             short_list_len variable found at the top of the script.
           - Added ibolhdr.ans as part of the truncated list.
           - Expanded the leftside width (author and BBS name) to
             accomodate BBSes with longer names.
             The width value is definable with the left_side variable at
             the top of the script.
02/03/2017 Updated sysop.txt
