version 1.1
Release Date: 01/31/93
PURPOSE: Keeps information for all users including home phone,
work phone, and address. The information is stored
in userlog.bbs (no extra databases created).
The interface is extremely easy to use and self-
explanatory. Give it a try!
INSTALLATION: (1) Call the registration program from a TBBS menu with:
"TYPE = 200 OPTDATA = (path)\REGISTER /Q && /An:n"
optional:
{&& /An:n} - You may specify an authorization flag
as a comment after the normal optdata. When the
user's information is saved, the program will set
the flag.
(example)
'&& /A2:3' will cause the user to exit with "A2=--X-----"
NOTE: If you specify an authorization flag, the user
will be required to enter at least his home phone and
two lines of his address; otherwise no information is
required.
(2) Call the user data viewer with:
"TYPE = 200 OPTDATA = (path)\REG-VIEW /Q && /U:[path]"
optional:
{&& U:[path]} - If USERLOG.BBS is not in the \TBBS\
directory, specify the path.
(example)
'&& U:C:\TBBS\BBS\'
USERLOG.BBS: Register stores user information in userlog.bbs for
several reasons. Most importantly, while each user
is online his information can be retrieved without
locating and searching through a separate database.
The informatoin can also easily be used by other
TDBS modules. SUBSCRIPTION.TPG (included in this
package), for example, can use the HomePhone,
WorkPhone, and Address which is already stored in
the user's record as default.
REGISTER CANNOT CORRUPT USERLOG.BBS:
When a multi-user program writes to a single file
conflicts become emminent. Register, however, never
actually opens USERLOG.BBS for read/write operations.
It simply stores the caller's information in his
individual record using standard TDBS userlog routines.
TBBS saves this information in the userlog itself!
Resgister's use of the userlog is neither dangerous
nor unorthodox. TBBS reserves a large portion of each
user record to store additional information. Register
places homephone, workphone, and address in bytes
256-384 of each record.
REG-VIEW: This program (called in a separate menu entry) allows
the Sysop to quickly view each user's information.
The sysop can search for specific names and jump
to a specific record. If USERLOG.BBS is NOT in
your \TBBS\ directory, you can specify an optional
directory using "/U:[path]"
