You should have the following files in this package:

            PRO
            ACOS
            ACOS.DA
            DOX
            SHRSEND
            SHRSEND.DOX
            ML.EMULATION


Step 1. rename your current ACOS, to ACS.

Step 2. Copy ACOS and ACOS.DA onto your "a:" volume.

Step 3. go into Basic, and install the video driver by typeing

]BLOAD ACOS.OBJ
]BLOAD PRO
]BSAVE ACOS.OBJ

Then you are set, you have the MouseLINK installed on your local GBBS, and all
the commands in the ML.Emulation file will work, accept for the obvious
acceptions.


   What I've done with the local ACOS/GBBS, is totally gotten rid of the Status Box, and you will have to do the same if your going to run MouseLINK locally.  You do however have a special Box included on this mouselink that remains invisible to user at all times, and invisible on the local terminal, unless you are holding down the option key.  When ever something is printed on the screen, and you are holding option, the Stat Box will be printed on the screen, here's the actual code I use on my BBS to set up the stat box...

; set windo up my way...
 print #3 chr$(3);chr$(4);
; Inits the Set up box in the local MouseLINK


 i$="un="+a$:i$=i$+"  "+a3$+" of "
 i$=i$+a4$+", "+a5$
 i$=mid$(i$,1,35)
 print #3 i$;
 print #3 " Access:  ";
 for x=1 to 34: print #3,flag(x);:next:print
; This Prints the name, user number, and access flags without going over
; 80 colums since it will ruin the box if they go over 80 columns


 print#3 "bp="bp"  tc="tc" ("rt$"%)  "ph$"  "lc$;
 print #3"  Blk Up="ul$"  Blk Dn="dl$;
 print #3 "  r="r

; bp = Bulletins posted
; tc = Total Calls
; rt$= Post/Call Percentage
; ph$= Phone Number
; lc$= last called
; r= enforced upload to down ratio

you have to get rid of the shit with the print #9's etc, and switch to this, that way you have the entire screen to work with, and whne you want to look at the statz just hold down the <option> key, the user willremain unaware that you are doing so.
