Instructions for setting up WWIV5IBBSLASTCALLERS

1) Install Python 3. You can get it here:

    https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3111/

2) Install xenos' xwibbslastcaller.py and ibbs-extract3
   Get them from here:

    https://github.com/ericpareja/xenos-wwiv-utils

3) Subscribe to the IBBSDAT SUB @60 on WWIVnet.
   Optional: Subscribe to the FSX_DAT Echo on fsxNet.

4) In WWIV.INI, add:

    LOGON_CMD=xwibbslastcaller.py %R

5) Also in WWIV.INI, add:

[wwiv5ibbslastcaller]
bbsaddress=https://yourbbsurl.here
dontshowsl=255

If you don't add this section in WWIV.INI, the defaults will be used.
The default URL in bbsaddress is https://wwivbbs.org.
By default, even Sysop and Co-Sysop logins are posted to IBBSDAT. Change the
SL value to the level you want "invisible."  It's up to you what you want. :)

Note, I don't run Windows so I'm not sure if ibbs-extract3 will run unless you
rename it to ibbs-extract3.py.
