1. Historical

WWIV v4 logo

All "historical" utitilies (e.g. for v4.2.4) are in the WWIV-v4x directory and described in the README in that directory. Please note that they may be under different licenses than the "modern" (v5+) utilities.


Modern WWIV (v5+) Utilities

WWIV v5 logo

2. ANSI-Linux

These are some utilities to preview or convert ANSI/ASCII art on a linux system. They are also rough, and due to the many possible variations of how these files may be encoded or what line endings may have, manual tweaking of output is practically guaranteed. Works in progress. You may wish to check out showdocs-wombat for another (and cleaner) implementation. Detailed instructions in the README in the directory.

3. networked-bbs-doors

BASH scripts to connect to networked BBS door games - specifically BBSLink and Door Party - providing a large userbase and many already-installed doors. Designed for WWIV 5+ with CHAIN.TXT, but will work with anything that can pass a username and/or usernumber. Detailed instructions in the README in the directory.

4. bbs-weather

BASH scripts to operate as a door providing weather and forecast for the BBS and optionally for any location entered by a user. Relies on a modified version of weather.sh. Detailed instructions in the README in the directory. coming soon

5. bbscaptcha

NOT PRODUCTION READY

BASH & Python3 scripts to provide a comprehensive CAPTCHA autovalidation system as a door for WWIV 5+. Can provide ANSI/ASCII captcha, audio captcha, and email code validation. Currently awaiting additional code in WWIV codebase and/or modification. Detailed instructions in the README in the directory. coming soon
