CVRTLOG
Citadel Convert User Log Utility
This utility reads the current user base and creates a file(one per user)
which can be used with ADDUSER to re-build the user database. This utility
allows you to:
1) expand the user log size without losing users.
2) convert a user log between incompatible versions of Citadel.
Note: using the CVRTLOG and ADDUSER program will result in all the
messages being new for users and all forgotten rooms being reset.
Operations:
1) Shut down Citadel(kinda obvious).
2) execute CVRTLOG in the home area of your Citadel.
Each user will get a file created called LOGnnnn.ao.
3) Type in the following command:
c:list log#?.a0 LFORMAT "adduser %s" >ram:script
4) Re-build your Citadel, make your User log size changes
and re-configure. Make user you initialize the User Log
when you re-configure.
5) Execute ram:script. When completed, you will have all the
user re-entered into the database.
Note: CVRTLOG will correct any user with a terminal width of less
than 40 to 40, any with a width of more than 80 will be reset
to 80. This prevents some novice users from having problems.
Users which have forgotten public rooms or have discovered
hidden rooms will have to do so again... Also all messages
on the system will be new to them.
WARNING: you should delete the contents of the #BIOAREA and
the #QWK* areas since the user id numbers will change and these
will become invalid if you rebuild using this method.
The same applies to the #HOLDAREA.
