Acknowledgements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks got to the TAG team for providing the structure information
necessary for utility authors to create the utilities that *we* all
ask for. Thanks especially to Victor Capton and Paul Williams, not only
for remaining the driving forces behind this special BBS system, but also
for giving insight into TAG's inner workings making this and other
projects soooooooo much easier to handle.

considered freeware.
Guarantees/Warranties/And Other Fantasies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is no warranty or guarantee offered with this program. The only
thing I will guarantee is it's ability to take up disk space.
By using this program you agree to hold harmless the author in all
regards and circumstance including but not limited to:
Damage to drives

Change of Gender or Species
Purpose
~~~~~~~
EXITINFO.EXE creates the QBBS drop files (version 2.76):
DORINFO?.DEF : Basic QBBS drop file
EXITINFO.BBS : Main, binary User Information Drop File. Usually
update buy the applicable door.
ALIAS .BBS : User Handle File (as needed)
USERS .BBS : QBBS user file (as needed)
USERON .BBS : Specific User Information (used mainly by
Multi-Node applications) TAG generates an RA
style USERON.BBS file rather than a QBBS version.
EXITINFO follows the RA/QBBS 2.76+ DORINFO?.DEF naming conventions. The
"?" refers to a given node number (Dropped from node2 := DORINFO2.DEF)
Please Note that not all doors will recognize anything other than
DORINFO1.DEF.. if this is the case for something you are running, or
you get a message stating the door cannot locate DORINFO1.DEF then
simply add a line to your batch to copy DORINFO?.DEF (what ever node)
to DORINFO1.DEF and that should handle it... Node specific information
within the EXITINFO.BBS file will be understood and utilized in all
known cases.
Setup/Execution
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is no setup or input files needed. EXITINFO gets all it's
information through the command line via TAG's generic door call.
Pkey <
Pdata (Batch File Name)
The batch file command line would look like:
EXITINFO %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 QBBSDir TAGDir [OPTIONS]
%1 := Port Speed
%2 := Time left On Line
%3 := User Number
%4 := User First Name
%5 := User Last Name (or "." if none)
%6 := ANSI Status (1 := Yes 0 := No)
%7 := Communications Port (1 based)
%8 := Connect Speed (Different than port Speed When Locked)
QBBSDIr Main QBBS directory for this node (where CVT2QBBS is)
TAGDir Main TAG System Directory For This Node
Options are as follows:
NOOUT Optional Switch to suppress User Information Display
CONNECT Optional switch to have EXITINFO write user connect
speed to DORINFO?.DEF rather than the port speed. There
are a few "brain dead" programs that will not pay
attention to the user connect speed in EXITINFO.BBS and
only use the port speed in DORINFO?.DEF.. If an
application is showing or calculating on the port speed
then try adding the CONNECT pramater after the paths
and see if that doesn't fix it for you.
NF=FNAME This option causes a New Files List to be generated.
Please make sure you pass the full path to the file
you wish generated : NF=C:\BW\NEWFILES.LST. This
option is usefull with applications, such as Blue
Wave, that will send a preestablished New Files
Listing to the user.
Options can be of any case and can appear in any order after
the Directory information (QBBS and TAG directories)
EXITINFO can be executed from any place in your DOS search path
as it writes it's files to the directory specified as the
QBBSDir.
If EXITINFO finds a user doesn't exist within the QBBS system
it will notify the user and proceed to create the USERS.BBS
file keeping intact any current user records.
Any program requiring ExitInfo.Bbs will effectively operate with
EXITINFO.EXE
If there is a problem
