ALLookUp 0.3 /_/
Jun 24, 1993
**************
*Description:*
**************
When a utility like FDEdit, AliasHack, or etc. that changes the users
name on the actual message header, file description header, or whatever
else is used to convert Real Names to Alias Names, you loose the ability
to verify that users information quickly cuase you have to hunt for the
users real name. Well this is where AliasIndexer and ALLookUp can help,
keep on reading for more info.
***************
*Installation:*
***************
A) If you have not done so already, set up, install and run Alias-
Indexer.
B) Copy "ALLookUp" to either DLG: or whever you see fit to place
good 3rd party utilities.
C) Create a Menu Item - preferably on the User Edit Menu[SYSU_Main],
but it can be placed on any menu you want with the following info:
[ 1] Letter: T
[ 2] Executable: (path/name) DLG:ALLookUp
[ 4] Description: AliasLookUp
*?[ 5] Type: Executable
*[10] Load Type: OVERLAY
*[13] Cli mode: NO
* - Must not be changed if used in Executable Mode. If used in any
sort of script mode make sure that it is in DLG (Raw) Mode!
This program will more than likly barf in CLI MODE!
D) Test your new command with your defined AliasName, and make sure it
works properly, it is always good to test a command before you make
it available to your users or Co-Sysop.
NOTE: This program is not completed so DLGConfig:Misc/Alias.Idx
which is created by AliasIndexer must be present!
***********
*Versions:*
***********
0.1 - First Release
Displays Users Real Name if listed in Index
Supports Users Ansi Settings to use color or not
1st known utility to make use of AliasIndexer
Works 100% without error on my BBS
0.2 - The program was not properly returning the Real Name, instead due
to last minute cosmetic changes in 0.1 it would return the Alias
I did not spot this until it was too late.
0.3 - How small can I get?
*********
*Future:*
*********
Guess Mode = to try to figure out the Alias Name before you even finish
typing the last character.
Small Info on the user, for instance, phone number, activity, etc.
And any average, good, and excellent suggustions you sysops/cosysops have
to offer. Come on I want some input on my utilities!

*Legal Stuff*
*************
All of my utilities for DLG are tested and work 100% on a A500 with OS2.0
with or without the DLG.Library and with or without having to be loged on
to the BBS. However I will not be responsible if my program cuases any
headaches, stiff necks, wipelash, or damage to your computer directly or
indirectly. I do encourage that you contact me of any of these symptoms
immediatly so I can correct the problem or advise on what to do to
releave the pain. I also can not provide any professional insight to any
of the problems except for the last one, so see a doctor if that is your
problem, but of course at least notify me if my program cuased the problem
so I can warn other sysops that use it.
* Sorry I was getting bored of the old same saying over and over in
different packages that I had to add a little life into it, but you probably
get the point, if not see another archives document file and search for the
legal part of it.
