AccountINDEX for TEMPEST BBS!
*****************************
This is version 1.4 of The Professor's Pro-INDEX, Account INDEX for
Tempest BBS. Of use only to Tempset BBS 1.4u.2+. It is re-write of
Tim's INDEX program (v1.0).
Use it occasionally to make sure that there are no problems with the
Accounts.INX. This is important for fast logins with no errors.

This Program will operate correctly on any TEMPEST BBS system, reguardless
of the number of nodes or the version of Tempest the bbs is running.
It has been tested on systems ranging from 1 to 4 nodes, on caller bases
ranging from 30 to 430 callers.
It was 100% safe, stable & reliable in dozens tests.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following rules apply.
1> The Format for it's use is this:
Pro-INDEX <Path to BBS:>
2> It might be (depending on your your system).
Pro-INDEX BBS:
| |
| l______\ The path to the BBS, could possibly be Tempest:
| / TEMPESTBBS: or what ever your bbs is called.
|
l__________\ The Utility
/
3> The util can be run on commandline, to create the index file
It wil be maintained by the BBS automaticlly.
It can also be run in the logoff script to guarentee a current index
file (a good idea if there is a fair amunt of account editing)
4> The utility is a script/cli command.
You can run the utility from the CLI, if you just type the name, a
short version of these docs come up.

You assume ALL RISK by running this program!
It runs perfect on my machine! (68030/68882 at 50mhz with 9 megs of ram)
And has been tested on an Amiga 2000 with 9 megs of ram at 14.28mhz and
an a500 with 5 megs at 7.14mhz all with out problems. But....
There is no 'implied' preformance. If it works for you, fine. If it eats
all your HD's & turns your Amiga into a MAC, the resoposibility for that is
up to you. This CODE many not be re-sold at profit above a reasonable fee
for dupication of disks. If you plan to do so, please contact me first
If you encounters BUGS, problems just let me know...
On The Tempest Support bbs. My system is private and NOT a support board.
The Professor,
of Ice Station Zebra
Many thanks to: Matrix & Tim for their ideas & help.
