Comments and Suggestions to Atlantic Palisades 800/1 (718) 238-7855
Last Revision: 2/25/86
This package now contains two different methods for updating your
users.log (if you have a registration system) based on the answers
you receive in Answers.bbs
Whichever you use, you will probably want to make some modifications.
METHOD 1: To use method one you need either Strip10.com as compiled in
this package, or preferably, recompile strip10.pas with your filenames
written directly into the code (so that you don't have to reenter them
each time). In either case, Ca.BAT will assume your answers file is
called answers.bbs and that you have Strip10 output a file called
short.ans You will also require newuser.com.
Simply run ca.bat as listed below: (without the comments)
Strip10.com ; run strip10.com
del answers.bbs ; next two lines rename output
ren short.ans answers.bbs ; to be answers.bbs
newuser ; run newuser on answers.bbs
copy answers.old + answers.bbs ; archive answers.bbs
del answers.bbs
ask Process comments? (Y/N) ; would you like to archive
if errorlevel 1 goto end ; comments.bbs as well?
copy comments.old + comments.bbs
del comments.bbs
:end
exit
End of Method 1.
=====================================================
Method 2, a bit more ambitious (I no longer do this, but I include it
as a source of ideas):
To make full use of this package you must have Superkey and Sidekick 1.5.
I assume the following things:
You a welcome message for clearance 5 called 5.txt and for clearance 20 called
20.txt on your default directory.
1) sign on locally as sysop.
2) Use sidekick to read comments.bbs and reply
3) Go to Sysop menu and press 5 (users)
4) Call Sidekick and load answers.bbs file
5) Place the cursor on the beginning letter of the first name of the person you
wish to register.
6) If you wish to give clearance 5 press ctrl-5, if clearance 20, press
ctrl-2.
7) When you are finished, press escape to exit from sidekick, alt d to DOS and
enter CA2. This will call Strip10.com which will strip out unnecessary lines
from answers.bbs, and then append comments.bbs to comments.old and delete
comments.bbs and will append answers.bbs to answers.old and delete
answers.bbs.
The following is commenting of some of the Superkey macros I use.
The comments are to the right of the semicolons.
