What it Does
------------
Track identifies the net status userid that uploaded specific
messages to a WildCat v3.x BBS using the TomCat mail door program.
It will also indicate if a local user uploaded a message, if the
message was imported with the the Enhanced UTIs, WildMail or TNet.
How it Works
------------
When a net status userid uploads a REP message packet through the
TomCat mail door, TomCat marks each message with the CRC32 code
of the uploader's userid. It also records the CRC32 code and
the userid in a file called TCNETUSR, found in the same directory
as the ALLUSERS.DAT file.
Track compares the CRC32 value on each message against the values
in the TCNETUSR file and reports all matches to the screen.
Other Information
-----------------
Pressing CTRL-C will signal Track to stop processing at the next
safe opportunity and close the databases.
Setup
-----
Track can be run from any directory and looks for the required
WildCat files in the path. As long as the main WildCat directory
is in the path, you should have no problems with Track.
Memory Requirements
-------------------
Track requires a minimum of 92K to run.
Multi-Node BBSs
---------------
If you are running a single-line version of WildCat, Track should
not be run while the BBS is up, or when any other utility is
accessing the message databases.
In order to run Track while the BBS is online, you should be running
a multi-line WildCat version and have either DOS share or Novell
defined in the Makewild program. In addition, the environment
variable WCNODEID must be set to a valid number between 1 and 250.
Use the following command:
SET WCNODEID=3
using 3 or whichever node ID you wish to use. This node ID must
not be duplicated. No other BBS node or program using this node
ID may be running while Track is accessing the databases.
Command Line Parameters
-----------------------
Run the Track program with the following command:
TRACK ConferenceNumber MessageNumber
The first parameter the number of the conference to work with.
Track can only access one conference at a time.
The second and subsequent parameters are the message numbers to
check. You may specify more than one message in any of three ways:
TRACK ConferenceNumber 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
TRACK ConferenceNumber 1-8
TRACK ConferenceNumber All
Do not put commas or other punctuation (besides dashes) between each
message number.
