  • MPL function names?

    From The Godfather@21:3/165 to All on Fri Apr 7 10:28:36 2023
    Hello all,

    I'm wanting to start a mod and can't find the function names for:

    Users Total New Files since last call
    Users Total New Netmail since last call
    Users Total New Mail since last call
    Users total New EchoMail since last call

    Do they exist or just MCI codes?

    As always, any info is appreciated, I could not find what I was looking for in the MPL docs.

    yep... mci codes. What's wrong with them? :) strmci/str2mci is a very helpful command in MPL. :)

    If I recall, Mystic was counting the MCI codes as part of the text string
    when trying to center into columns, as an example. I'll have to read up on the strmci and str2mci functions .. thank you.

    I also want to be able to create a boolean with various user features: voting, FTN messages, netmail, new files, since last call. If new email since last call (pipe code MU) is true, have it write a string such as "You have new mail" otherwise "No new mail." Etc..

    I'll have to look at some of my (and others) old code and see how that is done. It's been about 8 months since I touched mpl :)

    Thanks for steering me in the right direction.
