# WWIV_Utilities
Please note that since there are multiple scripts, you will want to point your
RSS reader at [recent commits](https://github.com/uriel1998/WWIV_Utilities/commits/master.atom)
for this repository so you are aware of additions, changes, and updates
If you're looking for the BASH scripts for networked BBS doors (BBSList and DoorParty),
that's the folder `networked-bbs-doors`, with instructions inside that folder.
## Contents
1. [Historical](#1-historical)
2. [ANSI-Linux](#2-ansi-linux)
3. [networked-bbs-doors](#3-networked-bbs-doors)
4. [bbs-weather](#4-bbs-weather)
5. [bbscaptcha](#5-bbscaptcha)
## 1. Historical
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
## 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](http://uriel1998.github.io/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](https://uriel1998.github.io/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**
