!TCPIP/TCPIP_Doc/Notes/Banner
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

File contents
Banner Files
============
The Directory "!TCPIPUser.Banner" contains startup banners for Telnet
and FTP logins as follows:
Banner.FTPanon Message to anon FTP users
Banner.FTPpriv Message to priv FTP users
Banner.TelnetAt Message to Telnet User when attended
Banner.TelnetUn Message to Telnet Users when unattended
All of these files recognise the string "<localtime>" on a line of its
own, optionally preceded by other text.
For example:
<localtime>
Would result in the string:
Local time is Tue Jun 21 13:00:49 1994.
^^^^^ 5 spaces reproduced
being sent to the remote user.
Care should be taken to ensure that such macro expansions will fit on
the remainder of the line.
For telnet message files, line length should be kept to around 76 characters.
For FTP message files, line length should be kept to around 72 characters to allow
room for each line to be prefixed with "230-".
For FTP message files, you may wish to prefix each line with a couple of
spaces so the message appears as in the example below.
As these text file are assumed to have been created in !Edit, or !Zap,
or other similar text editor with '\n' as end of line, the end of line
characters are changed to "\r\n".
