##  ==================================
##
##  Version 0.3.1  5th October 2023
##
##  Kindly derived from the original BBSlink.net connection
##  original script by Sampsa Laine of B4BBS - http://sampsa.com/b4bbs
##  updated Python3 script by Mike Pedersen of https://www.arcadiabbs.com
##
##  (C)2015 Sampsa Laine for BBSlink.net.
##  Version 0.3.1 (C) 2023 Michael Pedersen for BBSlink.net.
##
##  Thanks go to haliphax for cryptography advice.
##
##
##  USAGE:
##  =====
##
##  1. Place this script in an appropriate directory that is 
##     accessible by your BBS software.
##
##  2. Configure the script with your system code, authorisation
##     code, and scheme code below.
##
##  3. Call the script with the following command:
##
##          python3 bbslink.py  
##
##     i.e., python3 bbslink.py lord 27
##
##  4. You can call different door games by changing the argument
##     in the command line. An up-to-date list of available doors
##     can always be found at http://www.bbslink.net/sysop
##
##  5. On Ubuntu you can install python-as-python3 to avoid the requirement
##     of reprogramming all your menu calls to include python3 in the command
##     run "apt install python-as-python3" and your door calls will remain
##     the same as they always were.
##
##  I hope you find BBSlink.net useful. Please guard your BBSlink login
##  credentials carefully, and should your system's authorisation code be
##  compromised, please contact me immediately for a new one.
##
##  All feedback is greatly appreciated!
##
##  Mark Mearns.
