    https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/2ed9a14695a1b553367aa78a
    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/atcodes.cpp
    Log Message:
    Add CPS @-code which is used to display the current download CPS

    In a minute, this CPS value will be of more use since it'll be reflective of the user's actual download rate (in characters/bytes per second) instead of just some randomly-chosen numeric constant.

    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/atcodes.cpp
    Log Message:
    Add GETDIM @-code to get the current ANSI terminal dimensions (rows and cols)

    This code will do nothing if there's no user logged-in or their terminal is
    not ANSI or their terminal dimensions (rows and cols) are set to specific values (not auto-detected). This code does the same thing as calling JS console.getdimensions(). Since it waits (up to 5 seconds) for a CPR response from the terminal, this does potentially slow down output, so caveat emptor.

    This could be used by a sysop to address issue #529.

    Modified Files:

    Log Message:
    text.dat string IDs can now be used in/as @-codes, directly

    The TEXT:<x> @-code can now be used with the text.dat string ID rather than
    the text.dat string number, if preferred.

    For convenience and brevity, ALL text.dat string IDs are now valid @-codes (case-sensitive). While this functionality is redundant with the TEXT: @-code now, if there are any conflicts between new/existing @-codes and text.dat string IDs, the TEXT: @-code can be used to overcome such conflicts.

    This should help with localization (to other languages) by using common single-word replacements (Which, Quit, Next, etc.) in text.dat strings.

    Since "NODE*" is a match for a node number status (ugh), and this comparison happened before the comparison for "NODE_USER", we'd never hit that condition. Thought I tested this before original commit, but I guess I did not. Oops.

    Kind of. You can't have spaces in @-codes, so you'd need to use \x20 in place of space. And you'd need a terminating (at).

    It's just like the TIME:fmt @-code, but instead of local time, it's UTC. https://wiki.synchro.net/custom:atcodes

    All relevant information is indeed on the wiki (thanks for that, too!), but your explanation here made it far easier for me to find it all on the wiki and put it together (I had to scroll from the top to the bottom to find all the pieces you mentioned in this message).
