It has evolved in size and function from a simple terminal program to a complete bulletin board system supporting Netmail and Echomail as well as an enhanced terminal program. Sysop Tools 2.00 is not compatible with versions of GT Power prior to version 15.00. GT Power version 15.00 initiates a completely new file structure. The new file structure facilitates much faster file access than previous versions of GT Power by utilizing an indexed sequential access method. It is for this reason Sysop Tools version 2.00 is not compatible with previous versions of GT Power. This document assumes that you have a basic understanding of the GT Power Host mode. Any system successfully operating as a GT Power 15.00 Host is compatible with Sysop Tools 2.00. Throughout this document, you will find references to keystrokes specific to the IBM PC. These keystrokes will be delimited by "[]". For example, [F3] would represent the functon key "F3", [Esc] represents the "Escape key" and [Alt] represents the "Alternate key". Chapters 2 through 7 each deal with a selection from the main menu. You will find that the actual data entry screens, as well as menus, have been included. Chapter 8 covers options available to the advanced ST user. I hope this basic structure will help to enhance the usability of the document as a whole, for both the new user of Sysop Tools as well as the experienced ST user. A word of warning to the experienced ST user. You will find version 2.00 to be dramatically different than previous versions. This is due to the changes in the GT BBS file structure. Please take the time to review this document. We hope you find Sysop Tools to be as enjoyable and easy to use as GT Power has been over the years. Like GT Power, Sysop Tools will continue to be in the state of "evolving", with enhancements based on user input. Please keep us informed of any suggestions, gripes or compliments (everyone likes those) you may have. Without your input Sysop Tools will become dormant and will fail to fulfill your needs. Credits I would like to first thank Lori, my wife, and Jessica, my daughter, for their patience and understanding during this endeavor. Without their support, I would have given up a long time ago. I would also like to thank the following people for their help and support. Paul Meiners Dave Steinman Rick Kunz John Perry Jeff Wannamaker Rich Hackney James Gaas Rusty Stone Tom Scallorn Bob Quinlan Perry Alexander Scott Estes Cliff Hemstock Keith Coyne Chet Wilkinson Steve Thompson John Della-Torre Bob Camp Mike Heggen John Cavanaugh Mel Douglass There are many others, far too numerous to name here, who have helped in one way or another. Some gave moral support. Some gave of their time. Some just showed interest and therefore made it all worthwhile. Technical Support If you need technical support, please use one of the following methods of contacting me. I plan to support and, with your help, enhance this product for a long time to come. o The Private Sector BBS GT Net/Node 001/002 (713) 488-2577 300/1200/2400 N-8-1 24hrs o GT NET Echomail Conference Sysop Tools - E00/033 o Compuserve I.D. 76120,41 o Genie Mailbox C.Smith18 - 2 - Chapter 1 Getting Started 1.1 Installation A quick installation of Sysop Tools can be accomplished by copying the following files in into the main GT directory. The main GT directory is, of course, the same directory that your GTPATH points to. ST.EXE - Sysop Tools program loader ST_OVL.OVR - Sysop Tools screen manager and program functions STINST.EXE - Sysop Tools customization program EDIT.EXE - Optional editor, not needed if you redefine w/STINST You must execute STINST before attempting to execute ST for the first time. Simply exit STINST to set the customizable features to their default settings. 1.2 Paths Two environment variables need to be setup for proper execution of Sysop Tools. The first, GTPATH, should already be done for use by GT Power. This path points to the directory containing the GT Power executable files. The second path is for the archive and unarchive files options of Sysop Tools and is called STPATH. Archived files will be placed in this directory for storage. To setup these paths place the following commands in your AUTOEXEC.BAT or other batch files: o SET STPATH={ ST pathname } o SET GTPATH={ GT pathname } If you wish to save environment space, the STPATH can also be set by executing STINST. Select "Program names & paths" from the main menu of STINST to set this option. - 3 - What is STINST? STINST creates the file ST.CFG. ST.CFG contains information pertaining to your particular BBS setup. It is placed in the directory specified in your GTPATH. A complete explanation of STINST can be found in Chapter 8 section 8.1, which begins on page 27. 1.3 Navigating in Sysop Tools In local operation Sysop Tools offers a full screen windowed menu system with levels of choices based on related actions. The main menu sections are: USER Add, Maintain, Modify, Delete Users MSG Maintain, Delete, Renumber Messages FILE Add, Maintain, Move, Modify Files and File Descriptions RPT Generate Reports OTHER Back Up, Restore, User Defined Menus EDIT Use the Editor of you choice LIST Use the File Lister or Browser of your choice DOS Perform DOS commands or shell to DOS EXIT Exit Sysop Tools 1.3.1 Local Operation Each time you load Sysop Tools, you will see the main menu: User Msg File Rpt Other Edit List Dos eXit ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ Msg Area : General Public Msg Area ... n/a .............. ║ ║ File Area: Bulletins are located here. ║ ║ Mem Avail: 287416 bytes free. Date: Sat Jun 24 06:00pm ║ ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ Esc-exit sub-menu Enter-select Arrows-move cursor - 4 - The line at the top of the screen is the main menu. The line at bottom of the screen maintains a list of the valid keystrokes at any given time. If the [Alt] key is held down for more than 1/2 second, a list of the valid "hot keys" will be displayed instead. After the [Alt] key is released the previous display will return. The status box near the bottom of the screen maintains the name of the current message area and file area. The amount of memory available for use by Sysop Tools as well as the current date and time are also displayed here. The default area selected (the area automatically chosen by ST) is the directory pointed to by your default message base path and default download directory in the GT Power setup menu [ALT-I] (in GT). The movement from one menu to another and from one option to another can be accomplished several different ways, allowing you to choose the one you feel comfortable with. The first capital letter may be pressed for the option of your choice. This will automatically pop up the sub-menu without additional keystrokes. Hi-lite bars may also be used to select items simply by moving the cursor with the [UP] or [DOWN] arrow keys, followed by an [ENTER]. [LEFT] and [RIGHT] arrow keys are used to choose items from the main menu. [ESC]ape always brings you back to the previous sub-menu. This version of ST allows the use of "hot keys" from anywhere within the application. They are as follows: Alt-U : pulls down the User menu Alt-M : pulls down the Message menu Alt-F : pulls down the File menu Alt-R : pulls down the Report menu Alt-O : pulls down the Other menu Alt-E : loads editor immediately Alt-L : loads list immediately Alt-D : shells to Dos immediately Alt-X : eXits program (after verify box) For example, pretend you are buried 5 menus deep into User Edit. Suddenly you want to drop to DOS to chck something. Simply press Alt-D and you are in a DOS shell almost instantly. There was no need to press [ESC] repeatedly to get to the DOS shell option. Throughout the program, when applicable, a choice of performing the function selected on the current area, all areas or selection from a pick list of areas will be displayed. 1.3.2 Remote Operation This version of ST requires the program DoorWay, by Marshall Dudley, to be used remotely. DoorWay in conjunction with BIOS mode of ST allows - 5 - full windowing capabilities. Remember, DoorWay requires that ST is using BIOS for all screen I/O. Otherwise, this option WILL NOT work properly. Please see the DoorWay documentation for installation tips. Moving around in ST remotely is a bit different than using it locally since the cursor keys and Alt keys are not supported. Menu items are selected by pressing the highlighted alphabetic character. This release adds a few new key combinations to facilitate remote access. They are as follows: Ctrl-S = Left Arrow Ctrl-E = Up Arrow Ctrl-D = Right Arrow Ctrl-X = Down Arrow Ctrl-R = Scroll up Ctrl-C = Scroll down The above are just like Qedit or WordStar so they should be familiar. The next two sets are of my own invention: Ctrl-Q, key = Alt-key Example: Ctrl-Q,U = Alt-U or the hot key to pull down the user menu. Ctrl-U, # = F# Example: Ctrl-U,0 = F10 or Ctrl-U,2 = F2 With both Ctrl-Q and Ctrl-U the Ctrl key MUST be released prior to pressing the second character of the two keystrokes. More detailed navigation will be given as we explore each of the menus of Sysop Tools. - 6 - Chapter 2 User File Maintenance User Msg File Rpt Other Edit List Dos eXit ╔═════════════════╗ ║ Scan/Edit Users ║ ║ Add User ║ ║ Delete Users ║ ║ Global Changes ║ ╚═════════════════╝ The most important facet of a BBS is its users. Therefore, much attention has been given to this area of maintenance. You will find functions to add, change and delete users. You will find you are able to maintain users on an individual basis as well as on a global basis. 2.1 Scan/Edit Users User Msg File Rpt Other Edit List Dos eXit ╔═════════════════╗ ║ Scan/Edit Users ║ ║ Ad╔═══════════════════╗ ║ De║ Name Scan ║ ║ Gl║ Access Level Scan ║ ╚═══║ Sequential Scan ║ ║ Banned Scan ║ ║ Deleted Scan ║ ║ sOundex Scan ║ ╚═══════════════════╝ The Scan/Edit option allows the user to modify user information in several different ways - by scanning for a particular name (partial names are allowed here), scanning for users of a particular access level (A-Z, a-z, 0-9), scanning users in sequential (numerical) order, scanning for users who have been banned (great for updating private conferences), scanning for users who have been deleted or scanning for users with only the sound of the name. - 7 - 2.1.1 Name Scan User Msg File Rpt Other Edit List Dos eXit ╔═════════════════╗ ║ Scan/Edit Users ║ ║ Ad╔═══════════════════╗ ║ De║ Name Scan ║ ║ Gl║ Ac╔══════════════════════════════════════╗ ╚═══║ Se║ Name: ______________________________ ║ ║ Ba╚══════════════════════════════════════╝ ║ Deleted Scan ║ ║ sOundex Scan ║ ╚═══════════════════╝ Once you have selected to edit a user by scanning for the name, you may scan for any part of a name. For example, scanning for "Rich" would display "John RICHard", "RICH Smith", "Sam eRICHson", etc. User Msg File Rpt Other Edit List Dos eXit ╔═════════════════╗ ║ Scan/Edit Users ║ ║ Ad╔═══════════════════╗ ║ De║ Name Scan ║ ║ Gl║ Ac╔══════════════════════════════════════╗ ╚═══║ Se║ Name: Perry_Scott___________________ ║ ║ Ba╚═══╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ Delete║ User Name: Perry Scott Record No: 9 ║ ║ sOunde║ Caller No: 9 Expert ║ ╚═══════║ ────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ║ ║ City/State: Lexington_Kentucky____________ ║ ║ Phone : 9999999___ Access : 3 ║ ║ Password : A-PASSWORD__________ Times On : 14___ ║ ║ Credits : 10000 Charges : 0____ ║ ║ First Date: 5-22-89_ First Time: 21:53 ║ ║ Last Date : 5-22-89_ Last Time : 21:53 ║ ║ No Calls : 1____ Time Today: 10___ ║ ║ U/L Kbytes: 0____ U/L Files : 0____ ║ ║ D/L Kbytes: 0____ D/L Files : 0____ ║ ║ Screen Len: 24_ Protocol : X ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ After ST scans the user file for names matching your input, it will display the first match. If that is not the one you are looking for, pressing the [RIGHT] arrow will bring the next user record to the window. You may continue displaying each record that matches your criteria by pressing the [RIGHT] arrow to see the next record or by pressing the [LEFT] arrow to see the previous record. Once you have found the record you wish to edit, press [F2] to open the window in dialogue mode. You may move the cursor from field to field sequentially by pressing the [RETURN] or [TAB] keys, by pressing [Shift-TAB] to move from field to field in reverse, or by pressing the [UP] or [DOWN] arrow keys to move the cursor vertically in the current column. - 8 - The Expert, No-Pause, Banned and Deleted flags may be toggled by pressing [F6], [F7], [F8] or [F9] respectively. After editing the the user record, press [F3] to save your changes or press [ESC] to abort your changes without saving them. You may continue scanning the list by pressing the [RIGHT] and [LEFT] arrow keys. Press the [ESC] key to exit the scan. At this point you will once again be prompted to enter your scan criteria. If you are finished scanning for records by name, press [ESC]ape again to close the dialogue window and return to the menu. 2.1.2 Access Level Scan User Msg File Rpt Other Edit List Dos eXit ╔═════════════════╗ ║ Scan/Edit Users ║ ║ Ad╔═══════════════════╗ ║ De║ Name Scan ║ ║ Gl║ Ac╔═════════════════╗ ╚═══║ Se║ Access Level: _ ║ ║ Ba╚═════════════════╝ ║ Deleted Scan ║ ║ sOundex Scan ║ ╚═══════════════════╝ After selecting scan/edit users, picking "access level scan" from the sub-menu will allow editing user records according to their access level. GT Power Host supplies the sysop with a "three tier" access level scheme. The three levels in order of priority are 0-9, A-Z and a-z. To avoid confusion, it is recommended that the lower case series of access levels be avoided. After choosing the access level you wish to scan for, ST quickly builds an index of those users matching your criteria. As each record appears, you may elect to edit any of the fields by first pressing [F2] to move the cursor into the record. After editing, press [F3] to save your changes or press [ESC] to abort the changes. You may scan through other records by pressing the [LEFT] or [RIGHT] arrow keys to move forward or backwards. Press [F2] to open the dialogue window. Once in the dialogue window press [ESC]ape to abort the edit or [F3] to save. Once exiting the user record window you will be prompted for another access level to scan for. You may continue to search by access level or press [ESC] again to return to the menu. - 9 - 2.1.3 Sequential Scan User Msg File Rpt Other Edit List Dos eXit ╔═════════════════╗ ║ Scan/Edit Users ║ ║ Ad╔═══════════════════╗ ║ De║ Name Scan ║ ║ Gl║ Ac╔══════════════════╗ ╚═══║ Se║ Record No: _____ ║ ║ Ba╚══════════════════╝ ║ Deleted Scan ║ ║ sOundex Scan ║ ╚═══════════════════╝ Scanning the user file sequentially very simply allows you to search for user records in a numerical sequence starting at any record number you choose. The same steps are used to edit fields as for the other scans. Upon terminating the scan by pressing [ESC] you will be prompted for another user record number to start a sequential scan from. At this point you may enter another number, or press [ESC] again to back out of the sequential scan window. 2.1.4 Banned Scan User Msg File Rpt Other Edit List Dos eXit ╔═════════════════╗ ║ Scan/Edit Users ║ ║ Ad╔═══════════════════╗ ║ De║ Name Scan ║ ║ Gl║ Ac╔═════════════╗ ║ ╚═══║ Se║ Banned Scan ║ ║ ║ Ba╚═════════════╝ ║ ║ Deleted Scan ║ ║ sOundex Scan ║ ╚═══════════════════╝ The scan for banned users allows you to maintain private message areas very easily. When a message area is marked as private (application only) in the GTMDIR.BBS file, GT will enter a user record and mark that user as banned the first time application is made for admittance to the message area. A message will be displayed stating that application has been made and sysop approval is needed. This scan allows you to quickly review your private conferences for new applicants. - 10 - 2.1.5 Deleted Scan User Msg File Rpt Other Edit List Dos eXit ╔═════════════════╗ ║ Scan/Edit Users ║ ║ Ad╔═══════════════════╗ ║ De║ Name Scan ║ ║ Gl║ Ac╔══════════════╗║ ╚═══║ Se║ Deleted Scan ║║ ║ Ba╚══════════════╝║ ║ Deleted Scan ║ ║ sOundex Scan ║ ╚═══════════════════╝ The scan for deleted users is a nice way to do some visual checking. After finding the records you wish to edit, simply edit them as you would when scanning for name, access level, or in sequential order. As always [ESC] backs out of the current window while [F3] saves the current window. 2.1.6 sOundex Scan User Msg File Rpt Other Edit List Dos eXit ╔═════════════════╗ ║ Scan/Edit Users ║ ║ Ad╔═══════════════════╗ ║ De║ Name Scan ║ ║ Gl║ Ac╔══════════════════════════════════════╗ ╚═══║ Se║ Name: ______________________________ ║ ║ Ba╚══════════════════════════════════════╝ ║ Deleted Scan ║ ║ sOundex Scan ║ ╚═══════════════════╝ This scan allows you to find users when you are unsure about the correct spelling of the user's name. The first character must match. Then an attempt is made to match on the next three consonant sounds. All vowels are ignored. Example: MNRS will find Paul Meiners. MNR would not since there are more than two consonant sounds after the first letter in Meiners. DPLT will find Stephen Deplater. But, it will also find Todd Duffield because 'P' and 'f' as well as 'T' and 'd' often sound alike. With some careful thought, this scan can save some headaches when it comes to complex last names. - 11 - 2.2 Add New User User Msg File Rpt Other Edit List Dos eXit ╔═════════════════╗ ║ Scan/Edit Users ║ ║ Ad╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ De║ User Name : ______________________________ ║ ║ Gl║ City/State: ______________________________ ║ ╚═══║ Phone : __________ Access : _ ║ ║ Password : ____________________ Times On : 0____ ║ ║ Credits : 0____ Charges : 0____ ║ ║ First Date: _6-20-89 First Time: 14:14 ║ ║ Last Date : _6-20-89 Last Time : 14:14 ║ ║ No Calls : 0____ Time Today: 0____ ║ ║ U/L Kbytes: 0____ U/L Files : 0____ ║ ║ D/L Kbytes: 0____ D/L Files : 0____ ║ ║ Screen Len: 24_ Protocol : X ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ If you wish to prearrange access for a user prior to their first call, the add new user option comes in very handy. ST will fill in the fields as shown above. You should supply all or part of the information for the fields that are show as blank above. 2.3 Delete Users User Msg File Rpt Other Edit List Dos eXit ╔═════════════════╗ ║ Scan/Edit Users ║ ║ Ad╔══════════════════╗ ║ De║ Inactives Delete ║ ║ Gl║ User Name Delete ║ ╚═══╚══════════════════╝ From time to time it may become necessary to delete users from your system due to inactivity or abuse. This option will assist you with that task. Sysop Tools provides the option of deleting users by inactivity or on an individual basis. The delete function does not physically remove the user from your system but merely "raises" the user record delete flag. GT will reuse this record at a later time. There is no need to "pack" the user file because GT will reuse the deleted records as new users log-on. - 12 - 2.3.1 Inactives Delete User Msg File Rpt Other Edit List Dos eXit ╔═════════════════╗ ║ Scan/Edit Users ║ ║ Ad╔══════════════════╗ ║ De║ Inactives Delete ║ ║ Gl║ Us╔═════════════════════════════╗ ╚═══╚═══║ Days since last logon: 60__ ║ ║ No. logons override : ____ ║ ║ Access level override: S ║ ╚═════════════════════════════╝ Users may be deleted according to the last time they visited your system. Some sysops hold a strict 60 day connect policy. If a user has not logged onto the system within a period of 60 days, they are removed from the system records. The above example is easily accomplished by first pulling down the delete user menu. After selecting inactive delete you will be prompted for the number of days of inactivity, the number of log-ons to override and the lowest access level to exclude from the delete - as shown above. The number of log-ons to override allows you to override the deletion if the user has logged on more than the specified amount. The access level override allows you to exclude higher access levels from the operation. For example, some sysops do not want to delete users who have a visiting sysop access. This field allows them to do so. If either (or both) of the override fields is left blank, it is ignored. Press [F3] to start marking the records as deleted. If you have made a mistake or changed your mind, simply press [ESC] to back out of the window. 2.3.2 User Name Delete User Msg File Rpt Other Edit List Dos eXit ╔═════════════════╗ ║ Scan/Edit Users ║ ║ Ad╔══════════════════╗ ║ De║ Inactives Delete ║ ║ Gl║ Us╔══════════════════════════════════════╗ ╚═══╚═══║ Name: ______________________________ ║ ╚══════════════════════════════════════╝ It may become necessary to delete an "unruly" user from your system. This option will allow you to do that by entering the user's complete name. If you do not spell the entire user name correctly the delete will not occur. - 13 - 2.4 Global Changes User Msg File Rpt Other Edit List Dos eXit ╔═════════════════╗ ║ Scan/Edit Users ║ ║ Ad╔═════════════════╗ ║ De║ Class Change ║ ║ Gl║ Netmail Credits ║ ╚═══╚═════════════════╝ This version of ST allows you to perform two operations on a global basis. They are Global Class Change and Add Netmail Credits. 2.4.1 Global Class Change User Msg File Rpt Other Edit List Dos eXit ╔═════════════════╗ ║ Scan/Edit Users ║ ║ Ad╔═════════════════╗ ║ De║ Class Change ║ ║ Gl║ Ne╔══════════════════════════╗ ╚═══╚═══║ Old user access level: _ ║ ║ New user access level: _ ║ ╚══════════════════════════╝ Changing access levels for a group of users is made simple with this option. This, used in conjunction with the structure of the GTPASSWD.BBS file, allows you to move groups of people to other access levels. After selecting the global access change window, enter the access level of the users you wish to change and the new access level they will be changed to. Once you are sure of your entries, press [F3] to accept and execute the change or [ESC] to abort. 2.4.2 Netmail Credits User Msg File Rpt Other Edit List Dos eXit ╔═════════════════╗ ║ Scan/Edit Users ║ ║ Ad╔═════════════════╗ ║ De║ Class Change ║ ║ Gl║ Ne╔════════════════════════════════╗ ╚═══╚═══║ No. of netmail credits: 5000_ ║ ║ Minimum access level : Z ║ ╚════════════════════════════════╝ This function allows you to post netmail credits for yourself and your users. Netmail credits are required before GT will allow you to send a netmail message out of your Net. This function does not add netmail credits, it posts them. If you specify 5,000 credits that is what you get, not 5,000 credits plus what you already had. - 14 - Chapter 3 Message Area Maintenance User Msg File Rpt Other Edit List Dos eXit ╔═════════════════╗ ║ Change Msg Area ║ ║ Scan/Edit Users ║ ║ Renumber Msgs ║ ║ Delete Msgs ║ ╚═════════════════╝ Because of the popularity of Echomail it is possible for a conference area to increase in size by several hundred messages or more during any given mail event. The larger the message area, the longer it will take to do group deletions and renumber. Much of the delay in message area management is the caused by DOS' inability to handle directories with large numbers of files efficiently. 3.1 Change Msg Area User Msg File Rpt Other Edit List Dos eXit ╔═════════════════╗ ║ Change Msg Area ║ ║ Sc╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ Re║ Z General Public Msg .... n/a ................

Example: User Msg File Rpt Other Edit List Dos eXit ╔═════════════════╗ ║ Change Msg Area ║ ║ Sc╔══════════════════╗ ║ Re║ Current Area ║ ║ De║ Al╔══════════════════════════════════╗ ╚═══║ Pi║Processing: E:\GT\NETMAIL ║ ╚═══║ 00700.MSG header discarded. ║ ║ 00701.MSG renamed to 00700.MSG. ║ ║ 00702.MSG renamed to 00701.MSG. ║ ╚══════════════════════════════════╝ Let's take a message area containing message numbers 699-702. If message 700 was marked as killed, renumbering this area will remove the message header record for message 700. It will then renumber 701 to 700 and 702 to 701. The next time a user displays that area, it will show that messages 699-701 are available for reading. Crash-Recovery has been implemented for Renumber Messages. In the event that you have a loss of power during a Renumber you must immediately (after your local electric company gives you back some juice) initiate a Renumber in the area that you were in when it crashed. ST will sense that a crash occurred and resume the Renumber at the point it left off. It is very important that this be done immediately! Otherwise, a user may lose his last read message pointer. NOTE: It is highly recommended that a backup be done prior to maintenance of the message areas. Crash-Recovery has been implemented to help prevent problems during maintenance, however nothing is 100%. Please take the time to protect yourself and the valuable information contained on your system by backing up first. 3.4 Delete Messages User Msg File Rpt Other Edit List Dos eXit ╔═════════════════╗ ║ Change Msg Area ║ ║ Sc╔══════════════════════╗ ║ Re║ Old Message Delete ║ ║ De║ Unconditional Delete ║ ╚═══║ Delete Duplicates ║ ╚══════════════════════╝ Three options for deleting groups of messages are available in this release of Sysop Tools.

To create the FILES.CBS with color, select add color. You will be given the option of adding color to the current area, all areas or a combination of areas chosen from a pick list. - 19 - In the true spirit of GT Power 14.00, the following color combinations from the GT control file (GT.CNF) will be used in creating the FILES.CBS: o File Name - GT Window colors. o File Size - GT Option Hi Light colors. o File Date - GT Option Lo Light colors. o File Desc. - GT Dialing Directory highlight bar colors. If you wish, you may override GT's default colors. Execute STINST and select main menu option "Flags". Change "Override GT colors" to TRUE. Exit this section. Select main menu option "Files.CBS Colors" and setup the colors you wish to use. 4.3 Validate Files.BBS User Msg File Rpt Other Edit List Dos eXit ╔════════════════════╗ ║ Change File Area ║ ║ Ad╔══════════════════╗ ║ Va║ Current Area ║ ║ Mo║ All Areas ║ ╚═══║ Pick List Select ║ ╚══════════════════╝ Validate Files.BBS builds a new FILES.BBS containing all the files in the current directory.

FILES.* are ignored. Off-line files are also supported. An entry in the FILES.BBS will not be deleted, if you place an asterisk in column 26. This is known as the off-line column and is immediately after the file date. 4.4 Move Files NOTE: THIS FUNCTION IS NOT YET IMPLEMENTED This function allows you to move, copy or delete files and their descriptions from the current file area. Initially a window is displayed with the current FILES.BBS in it.

There are presently two reports to choose from. Perhaps this is an area that could profit from some input from the user community. 5.1 User File Dump The User Dump report creates a report named USER.RPT and places it in the directory pointed to by GTPATH. The report is created in the current order of the user control file. If you would like to create a report in a different sorted order, create the report first and then use the DOS SORT utility to sort it. See your DOS manual for an explanation of SORT. 5.2 Message File Dump The dump message report shows the status of each message as to the subject and the person it is addressed to. Again, this report is placed in the directory pointed to by your GTPATH. The message report may become quite large. I use Vernon Buerg's list utility to browse it. - 21 - - 22 - Chapter 6 Other Functions User Msg File Rpt Other Edit List Dos eXit ╔════════════════════╗ ║ Archive GT Files ║ ║ Unarchive GT Files ║ ║ Customized Menus ║ ╚════════════════════╝ 6.1 Archive GT Files NOTE: ONLY THE ARCHIVE ALL IS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. Sysop Tools provides the sysop with the ability to backup their system by means of archiving the files with Phil Katz's PKarc and PKxarc. Both these archive utilities have proven to be the fastest and easiest to use among all archive software. After selecting the archive option, ST will prompt you for your choice of message areas to archive, either the current, all or a combination of areas selected from the pick list menu. Regardless of which option you choose, the GTMDIR.BBS from the GT main directory (pointed to by GTPATH) will always be archived. The unarchive function will use the GTMDIR.BBS in your GT directory to determine where the message files originated. The directory pointed to by the GTPATH will be archived when you choose a full archive. Files in that directory which will be archived are .CBS, .BBS, .BAT, .CNF, .DIR, .KEY, .LOG and all routing files. Because of this, it is highly recommended that you choose to archive all message areas. As ST archives these files, a log is also generated and placed in the STPATH directory along with the archives themselves. This log is called ARCHIVE.LOG. Archives are named using the following naming conventions: - 23 - YYYYMMDD.DIR o YYYY = year o MM = month o DD = day o DIR = directory number The directory number corresponds with the order of your GTMDIR.BBS file. The first directory listed will have an archive extension of .001, the second .002 and so on. The directory pointed to by GTPATH will have a file extension of .GTB. 6.2 Unarchive GT Files NOTE: THIS FUNCTION IS NOT YET IMPLEMETED. In case of data loss or user error, Sysop Tools includes the ability to unarchive files previously archived with ST. You may choose to restore to the current area, all areas or a combination of areas from a pick list. If all, or areas from a pick list are chosen, the unarchive can be stopped by pressing any key. The process will end after the current directory is unarchived. - 24 - Chapter 7 Edit, List and Shell to DOS 7.1 Edit The editor included with ST is optional. You may use install any editor you wish via the install program STINST. This editor is limited to files with a size of 63K or less. It's intention is to give you easy access to a small Wordstar(Tm) compatible editor to use on your routing and .BBS files. Embedded control codes for GT may be entered by pressing Ctrl-P followed by the desired control code. 7.1.1 Editor Commands Character left Ctrl-S End block Ctrl-K-K Character right Ctrl-D Mark current word Ctrl-K-T Word left Ctrl-A Toggle block display Ctrl-K-H Word right Ctrl-F Copy block Ctrl-K-C Line up Ctrl-E Move block Ctrl-K-V Line down Ctrl-X Delete block Ctrl-K-Y Scroll up Ctrl-W Read file from disk Ctrl-K-R Scroll down Ctrl-Z Write block to file Ctrl-K-W Page up Ctrl-R Print marked block Ctrl-K-P Page down Ctrl-C Set marker 0 Ctrl-K-0 Cursor to left side Ctrl-Q-S Set marker 1 Ctrl-K-1 Cursor to right side Ctrl-Q-D Set marker 2 Ctrl-K-2 Top of screen Ctrl-Q-E Set marker 3 Ctrl-K-3 Bottom of screen Ctrl-Q-X Jump to marker 0 Ctrl-Q-0 Top of file Ctrl-Q-R Jump to marker 1 Ctrl-Q-1 Bottom of file Ctrl-Q-C Jump to marker 2 Ctrl-Q-2 Top of block Ctrl-Q-B Jump to marker 3 Ctrl-Q-3 Bottom of block Ctrl-Q-K Find pattern Ctrl-Q-F Last cursor position Ctrl-Q-P Search and replace Ctrl-Q-A New line Ctrl-M Repeat last find Ctrl-L Insert line Ctrl-N Tab Ctrl-I Toggle insert mode Ctrl-V Toggle autoindent Ctrl-Q-I Delete line Ctrl-Y Toggle fixed tabs Ctrl-O-T Delete to end of line Ctrl-Q-Y Save file and exit Ctrl-K-D Delete right word Ctrl-T Save file and resume Ctrl-K-S Delete current char Ctrl-G Abort edit Ctrl-K-Q Delete left character Ctrl-H Restore line Ctrl-Q-L Begin block Ctrl-K-B Insert control char Ctrl-P - 25 - 7.2 List The default setting for this option is to shell to Vernon Buerg's LIST program. You may install any browse utility you wish via the STINST program. 7.3 Shell to DOS Forget to check something? Need to make a quick adjustment? This option will allow you to quickly shell out to DOS leaving ST resident. To return to ST type EXIT at the DOS prompt. - 26 - Chapter 8 Advanced Options 8.1 STINST 1. Flags 2. Program names & paths 3. Dialogue defaults 4. Miscellaneous defaults 5. Files.CBS colors 0. Quit Selection: This is the main menu of STINST. I will give a brief summary of each option below. 8.1.1 Flags 1. Use BIOS for screen writes . . .: TRUE 2. Use 43/50 line EGA/VGA mode . .: FALSE 3. Perform snow checking . . . . .: TRUE 4. Silence the bell . . . . . . . .: FALSE 5. Renumber message areas to 1 . .: FALSE 6. Disable background processing .: FALSE 7. Override GT colors for FILES.CBS: FALSE 8. Sort FILES.BBS by date . . . . .: FALSE 9. Number pick lists . . . . . . .: FALSE A. Overlay ST for DOS shells . . .: FALSE 0. Return to main menu Selection: "Use BIOS for screen writes" allows compatibility with DesqView or other multi-taskers. "Use 43/50 line EGA/VGA mode" places the screen in 43 or 50 line mode. This option requires an EGA or VGA graphics adapter. "Perform snow checking" allows compatibility with the original IBM CGA adapter. This flag allows direct screen writes without the usual screen interference. New CGA adapters as well as EGA and VGA do not require this. - 27 - "Silence the bell" allows you to turn the bell off for good, just in case it annoys you. "Renumber message areas to 1" allows you to override the ST default of renumbering to the lowest message number retained. "Disable background processing" allows you to turn off the third line of the status window. Specifically the memory available and current date and time fields. "Override GT colors for Files.CBS" allows you to define your own colors for Files.CBS via option five from the main menu. "Sort Files.BBS by date" allows you to have an alternate sort method for Files.BBS. If true, the Files.BBS will be sorted in reverse chronological order - newest files at the top. "Number pick lists" allows you to turn on numbering of the pick list entries. This can be a big help when trying to record complex macros. "Overlay ST for DOS shells" causes ST to purge all but 11K of itself from memory to load the editor, browse program or even a shell to DOS. 8.1.2 Program Names & Paths 1.

User class to override delete (Delete Inactive Users): S 0. Return to main menu Selection: Each of these options will be the default options displayed in the appropriate dialogue box. They may be overridden at any time. They should reflect the dialogue input you use most often. 8.1.4 Miscellaneous Defaults 1. Frame type . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .: 3 2. Main screen background character (ASCII) : ░ 3. No of seconds to pause for error messages: 10 4. No of archives to keep . . . . . . . . .: 2 0. Return to main menu Selection: "Frame type" allows you to define which type of fram you wish to enclose your ST windows with. "Main screen background character" allows you to change the pattern of the main ST screen. You must input the new character by its ASCII value. "No of seconds to pause for error messages" allows you to tune the error box delay time. Actually, it pertains to all message delays in ST. "No of archives to keep" does not presently work. - 29 - 8.1.5 Files.CBS Colors This is what your files.cbs will look like STU200.LZH 150 6/24/89*Sysop Tools 2.00 - sysop utils for GT 15.00 1.

File date foreground . . .: 15 8. File date background . . .: 0 9. File status foreground . .: 15 A. File status background . .: 0 B. File description foreground: 15 C. File description background: 0 0. Return to main menu Selection: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 This allows you to define alternate colors for the Files.CBS. An example Files.CBS is displayed at the top of the screen at all times. For these to take to be used you must override GT colors via option 1 (Flags) from the main menu. 8.2 Macros The macro capability could probably be better described as a learn mode as that is how it is arranged. By using a command line switch, you tell ST to remember your keystrokes for playback at a later time. This allows you to create separate macro files to automate repetitive functions such as deleting duplicate messages and backing up message bases. When the Macro Recorder is active, ST will NOT actually perform the functions you select. This permits you to record an extremely long maintenance stream in a matter of seconds. To RECORD: ST -MR:filename To PLAY: - 30 - ST -MP:filename The colon is optional, ST -MR(MP)filename works equally well. However, embedded spaces are NOT allowed. It is highly recommended that you specify a complete DOS path for the file name. Otherwise, the macro file will be saved in the current directory at the time ST begins execution. Example: ST -MR:e:\gt\deldups.stm would start ST and record all keystrokes in a file called DELDUPS.STM and placeit the E:\GT subdirectory. Paths are supported, and the macro files could be placed in a separate subdirectory if desired. NOTE: While the macro file is being created, NO ST operations will actually be performed. ST -MP:e:\gt\deldups.stm would start ST and play back the keystrokes exactly as recorded, performing all ST functions selected in record mode. The macro files may be easily incorporated into maintenance batches to virtually any level of automation you might wish. A simple file to be called by your batch file that runs MDIST to automatically delete duplicate messages in the incoming mail: echo off cls ST -MP:DELDUPS.STM DELDUPS.STM would be a file created by typing the commands to delete duplicate messages with ST with the Macro Recorder engaged. - 31 - - 32 - Index A N Advanced 27-31 Netmail 1 archive 23, 24 ARCHIVE.LOG 23 O AUTOEXEC.BAT 3 Other 23-24 Archive GT Files 23 B Unarchive GT Files 24 backup 17, 23 P C path 3, 5 Crash-Recovery 17 PKarc 23 PKxarc 23 D DOS 15, 26 R Rpt 21 E Msg Report 21 Echomail 1, 15 User Report 21 Editor Commands 25 S F ST.CFG 4 File 19-20 STPATH 3, 23 Add Color 19 Change File Area 19 T Move Files 20 Technical Support 2 Validate Files 20 FILES.BBS 19, 20 U FILES.CBS 19, 20 unarchive 23, 24 User 7-14 G Add New User 12 GT.CNF 20 Delete Users 12 GTDIR.BBS 19 inactive 13 GTMDIR.BBS 15, 23, 24 name 13 GTPASSWD.BBS 14 Global Changes 14 GTPATH 3, 4, 23, 24 class change 14 netmail credits 14 M Scan/Edit Users 7 Msg 15-18 access level 9 Change User Area 15 banned 10 Delete Msgs 17 deleted 11 duplicates 18 name 8 old 18 sequential 10 unconditional 18 soundex 11 Renumber Msgs 16, 17 USER.RPT 21 Scan/Edit User_Msg 16 Utilities 25-26 - 33 -
