RemoteAccess reserved a variety of files names for special purposes. For example, the software would look for a file called BIRTHDAY.AND and display it on a user's birthday (if the file existed and the birthday was known). The Thought BBS engine does not reserve any filenames. Instead all prompts are defined in a language file; those prompts can refer to files if desired using a special control code.
The Thought BBS engine does not reserve a filenames. Instead all
| Name | Original Purpose | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 1ATATIME.A?? | Displayed if a user attempts to log into more than one node at a time. | |
| ALTNEWS.A?? | Displayed if NEWS.A?? was not displayed due to IEMSI settings. The Thought BBS engine does not support IEMSI and hence there is no corresponding file. | |
| BADFILES.A?? | Displayed if a user attempts to upload a bad file. | |
| BADPWD.A?? | ||
| BIRTHDAY.A?? | Displayed on a user's birthday. | |

| GOODBYE.A?? | RA displayed this file during the logoff process. The logoff script does not hard-code a so-called goodbye file. It displays the language prompt Logoff.Goodbye, which can reference any desired file using the {@filename} control code. | |

| VIP.A?? | RA displays this file if the current user is defined in a text file called VIP.CTL. The Thought BBS engine does not support the VIP.CTL file but does allow you to mark users as very important people (meaning, the status is defined in a user record instead of a text file). The logon script displays the language prompt Logon.VipMessage if the current user is marked as a very important person. You can change the control code to "{@VIP}" if you want to display a file instead of a prompt. | |
