No, it just keeps appending to the file.. Here is a little tidbit of info, back in 1996 when I started working on 2.0 with New Image, VF was my baby, I took my 1.2 version which had a lot of extra features such as the Watchdog files, the watchdog files were a lot more then just email sent, and zz log. It also included NISSA Disk downloads Image BBS orders etc. There was about 8 or 9 options. When I started working on 2.0 I removed my personal stuff and only kept what I felt we would leave in 2.0, unfortunately it was never finished as my Lt Kernal had given out and I left the programming team, so what you see is where I finished... The tidbit is I may decide to re-write the VF section and update it to what I envisioned back in 96.. The key word there is MAY.. If I decide to do this it won't take place for a few months as I have other more pressing needs to accomplish.... 🙂

To answer the CMD question, most likely it does not change the date on the CMD, although I have never looked at that, 100% of my programming is done on the LT Kernal, I run my BBS on a emulated CMD, but I never do directories to get time stamps so I don't have a definitive answer to that...

@bucko that would be great the VF section  seems really handy as a daily go to and when the border is a different color….

The VF section is great but I must admit sometimes I do some dumb mistakes in there when in a rush as the wrong letter pushed can zap a person!  

What your envisioning would be something I could benefit from based on your other creations!!!  No rush...  Is it done yet? how about now! hehe

Seriously no rush. 😉 

PS: GF. (you know what that is about)

LOL VF can be very powerful. It can also be very full featured, when I put my old 1.2 system files back online 3 years ago I saw everything that was in VF, for me it kept the NISSA applications, NISSA Network applications, along with Image BBS software orders, and a bunch of other things. I also had a blacklist mod which if a user hit ZZ it would ask them was that a mistake? and if they answered no, it dropped their access to 0, wrote a forced mail which told them they were an idiot last time they were online and would delete the account, in addition to that it would drop their time to 0 and log them off.. That was all in there. The zz log works today as I set it back up, one of these days I will release the files.. Oh well..

@bucko That is just awesome the ZZ questioning the user then dropping their access!!! Oh the power!!!

LOL yes, it sure was. I had a user who was a co-sysOp on another local board and he would do it every time he was online, so I wrote the mod. It caught him first time I installed it. When it caught him he logged on new and begged for his account back, when I told him if he ever did it again he would not be allowed on again, when I warned him I had caller id he never did it again. LOL
