So I got some to compile no problem but they dont work. I altered grymmjacks clogin and it works great in 1.08 but 1.08 i dont see the on and off from the mps. if any one has time next two days help me squash this also the go-mnu that lets you //\\ compiles but does not work.

Is there something in the new menus for 1.10 that might be holding me back?

As far as I know, just throw out the stuff you used to know about MPL, and think more in the lines of free pascal. :)

I can't help any further than that, as I have never programmed an MPL before, though I've edited stuff to fit my needs here and there.

Regards,
Nick

I'm trying to find grymmjacks clogin app, but I can't find it. Can you post
it somewhere?

so I updated my suicide mpl for 1.10 and it was working but stopped as in it was marking a user as deleted but now its not. I took the code from the mpl docs as such
GetThisUser
BitSet(3, UserFlags, True); // user is marked as deleted
any ideas? everything else works inline with it.

also I was using MX cmd to send the letter to the sysop with in the
mpl and it does not work sending to the email base. It will send it to a message base or is this a bug?

when I put the new mpl.doc together, I based the info of the new changes on what I found in the whatsnew.txt file. It appears that the bitset
description accidentaly showed us how to delete a user. Unfortunately, I
could not find any other info on how to do that. It would also be nice to
know what the other bits of UserFlags control.

It might need to be the perm index number of the email base. I don't know if they are the same or not, but you might try that.

Well thats what I want it to do when they comit suicide. It was working before but it is now not.

I tried it and it's not working for me. when I set it to 1 it goes to base 1. when I put it to 0 nothing. mutil i put 1 and it sends to email.

Im getting operator expected.
i have tmpstr declaired as a string and when i want to pass a time it says operator expected. This is the line

tmpstr := timestr(datetime,0);

i just want to copy the time in 24hour format to tempstr..

is it me?

Since the email base is private, are you sure you're addressing the message properly? Are you certain its *not* there? If the spelling of your name is off, mystic may not accept it as a valid user, and then reject the message.

Did you see my response on FB yet?

The timestr function has the same requirements as the datestr function. I'm pretty sure I didn't update the timestr function with the new requirements
in my updated mpl docs. Anyways, change 0 to UserDateStr if you want it to follow the user's date/time format. Or just force the issue with a 1 and
make it do MM/DD/YY.

it works with the same syntax i used in mutil. The desription for the command is post a text file to a message base so I dont think it will do it internaly unless g00r00 cam tell us...

You are correct. I just checked a number of my scripts that use TimeStr, and the format is:
TimeStr(LongInt,Boolean)
I don't know what the Boolean does. You can try both true and false and see how it differs.

I can see it is a departure from the pre1.10 format. My older scripts use
the format:
TimeStr(LongInt,Byte)

Ok, I tried it. When using TRUE, it adds an 'a' or 'p' to the time. False will add nothing.

i did that and it worked try it. i wish we knew what still works and does
not because the whats new stopped being updates after a certain alpha... now the new issues is delete() is not working. I have

tempstr := timestr(datetime,false);
delete(tempstr,6,3);

I have it set to display the result. the result is still
xx:xx format. the : should be xxxx after delete. or am i wrong in the delete with the 3?

false makes it miltary time as you posted on fb but I guess this post reply is redundant now. lol

so TRUE is 12 hour format and FALSE is 24 hour (aka military) format ;)

I don't know if that will get you what you want. Given that the time string
is in the format of HH:MM:SS. But you want it to convert to HHMM, yes?

Time String 10:11:12
Position 12345678

Deleting the last 3 chars, starting at position 6 would give you "10:11", not "1011". You still need to run a separate command to delete the ':' in the middle.

tempstr := TimeStr(DateTime,False)
Delete(tempstr,6,3)
Delete(tempstr,3,1)

You will need to do both of those Delete commands.

I like Delete(Replace(TempStr,':',''),5,2). That one will delete all the colons ':' and then trim off the last 2 digits (chars).

yeah got that far but im getting my self lost on what is being converted to i can do the equation since this part of the mpl is no longer yeilding the
proper results:
----
hour1 := sstart / 60;
hour2 := send / 60;
mins1 := sstart % 60;
mins2 := send % 60;

so im prolly gonna re write it to its cleaner. i forgot i can make the
screens bigger with the fonts so it's not so hard on my eyes lol

so what, exactly, are you trying to do here??? you get the time and then what are you trying to spit out from it at the end of the process??

It will show you the sysop is available or not buy the hours set in the

Not in this particular case because Delete is not a function its a procedure.

You could however use Copy like Str := Copy(Str, 1, 2) + Copy(Str, 4, 5)
