(This feature is available in evaluation mode!) · Full HUDSON & JAMBASE support! · Full MODEM command string configuration. · Internal Local call prefix manager database for modifying area codes etc. · Local prefix manager import feature to assist in converting from the other current frequently used CBV on the market. · Completely configuration LD callback hours. and more! ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │░░░▒▒▒▓▓▓ Program Information ▓▓▓▒▒▒░░░│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ As of January 20, '96 IceCBV is the latest of the Ice Utilities from Ice Technologies. IceCBV is a Callback verification system, designed for RemoteAccess v2.xx. Unlike the last two new software releases (IceNote, IceUser) IceCBV is NOT something old that I wrote a few years ago that I decided to pull off the shelf. It's a completely new door, written in 1996. :) As with most new programs, these first versions are basically a framework. So, if there's anything wacky and wild that you guys would like to have added in the future (that is worthwhile :), please feel free to suggest that it be added! Don't get me wrong though, this version is FULLY FUNCTIONAL. This program is designed for RA 2.xx, however it should work with other BBS packages which use the RA Exitinfo.BBS structure, so long as no other RA SPECIFIC functions are enabled (such as userfile scan). ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │░░░▒▒▒▓▓▓ Credits ▓▓▓▒▒▒░░░│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ There are a few people who helped with the development of IceCBV that although they weren't involved in the creation or writing of the program, their suggestions, bug reports, and lengthy ßeta testing have been an enormous asset. I would like to thank in no particular order : Eric Staufer, Ian Thomsen, Jim Edwards, & Kevin Farley for all of their help. Couldn't have done it without them! Special thanks to Kevin McKillop for creating and maintaining our homepage on the internet!

Please note that the configuration file is not a text file, so you MUST use CbvCfg.EXE to configure the program, and the configuration file must be named ICECBV.CFG. ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │░░░▒▒▒▓▓▓ BBS System Files Used ▓▓▓▒▒▒░░░│ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ IceCBV calls upon the following RemoteAccess Files : ExitInfo.Bbs - Read/Write To Exitinfo.BBS, to adjust time limit, read in the User's Name, Location, baudrate etc.. Dorinfo1.Def - Read in user Information. PhoneNum.Ctl - List of invalid number prefixes/suffixes. Files IceCBV will create are : ICECBV.CFG - The configuration file ICECBV.LOG - IceCBV Usage Log ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │░░░▒▒▒▓▓▓ Message Substrings ▓▓▓▒▒▒░░░│ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ In the welcome message that IceCBV will post the the verified new user, you can use the following message substrings that will get converted into other data. The filename for the newuser welcome message must be WELCOME.#, where # is the LANGUAGE of the newuser. You can have multiple WELCOME bulletins, each corresponding to the language files available on your BBS. %DATE% - The date at time of message processing. %SYSOPNAME% - The Sysop's Full Name. %BBSNAME% - The BBS name. %FROMNAME% - The name defined as the "FromName" in MGRCFG. %USERNAME% - The full user name. %FIRSTNAME% - The users first name. %SYSOPFIRST% - The Sysop's First name. %FROMFIRST% - The "FromName"'s First name. %LOCATION% - The BBS location. %SUBJECT:[S] - The message subject [S] - MUST BE ON A LINE BY ITSELF! ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │░░░▒▒▒▓▓▓ Executing IceCBV - Main Program ▓▓▓▒▒▒░░░│ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Please read the section of this document entitled 'Setting Up IceCBV Using CbvCfg.Exe' BEFORE attempting to install IceCBV into RA. Failure to setup IceCBV correctly before installing it into your bbs program will probably result in IceCBV failing to run or not running as expected. In order to run IceCBV.Exe, you must have a fossil driver active. A fossil driver such as BNU should work fine with IceCBV. If you don't have a fossil driver installed, a simple error message will be displayed, and the program will stop. A fossil is not required when running in local mode. We will now run through EVERYTHING you need to do in order to get IceCBV to run in your RemoteAccess setup. 1. Extract all the files in the distribution archive to a directory of your choice. C:\RA\IceCBV is recommended and is assumed to be the directory you are using from now on. 2. Run CbvCfg.Exe and configure all of IceCBV's options as explained earlier in this document. You MUST configure IceCBV for it to work correctly! Refer to the section of this document for setting up IceCBV. 3. You will now need to edit your .MNU files to include IceCBV. IceCBV can be run using either a type 7 or a type 15 menu command. A type 15 menu will require a batch file that is called to execute IceCBV, a type 7 menu only needs to have the command line to execute IceCBV on the Optional data line of the menu. See your BBS manual for more information on type 7 and type 15 menus... Decide which type of menu command (Type 7 or type 15) you wish to use and then do ONE of the following depending on which menu type you have chosen to use: Type 7 Menu Command: Optional Data: <command line> [control codes] Description: This function will run an external program, or door in a shell while the user is on-line. Example command lines for Type 7 usage: Calling IceCBV in either a single line or multiline system you would use: Single Line: C:\RA\IceCbv\IceCbv.Exe -d:C:\ra *M Multi Line : C:\RA\IceCbv\IceCbv.Exe -d:C:\ra\line*N *M The following RA parameters are used in the above examples: *M Activate the MemorySwap feature. RemoteAccess attempts to swap itself and all the memory it occupies to XMS and EMS memory (if available) or to disk, leaving only 3KB resident. This is ideal when running memory-hungry programs but takes a few seconds longer in order to perform the swap. If the swap cannot be accomplished, RemoteAccess will attempt to load the program in a normal shell. *N The current node number, as specified by the -N command line parameter when RemoteAccess was loaded. Type 15 Menu Command: Exit to DOS with errorlevel Optional data: <errorlevel> Description: This function causes RemoteAccess to exit to DOS completely, returning an errorlevel to your BBS batch file. The optional data field should contain the errorlevel that you wish to pass to the batch file. The batch file should trap the errorlevel and act accordingly. If you use this exit while the user is still on- line, the user may be logged back into RemoteAccess using the command line parameter -R. This forces RemoteAccess to read the EXITINFO.BBS file that was written at the time of the exit so that it can restore system and user information, presenting the user with the TOP menu. NOTE: Errorlevels 0 through 5 are reserved for internal use by RemoteAccess. For a complete description of these internal errorlevels and how they are used, see the Errorlevels section of the Reference chapter. If you decide to use a Type 15 menu to call IceCBV you will need to add IceCBV into your BBS batchfile and call IceCBV with the errorlevel you have chosen. :START IF ERRORLEVEL 10 GOTO ICECBV IF ERRORLEVEL 5 GOTO NET&ECHO IF ERRORLEVEL 4 GOTO ECHOMAIL IF ERRORLEVEL 3 GOTO NETMAIL IF ERRORLEVEL 0 GOTO START_UP GOTO START_UP :IceCbv CD\RA\IceCbv IceCbv.EXE <Don't forget IceCbv's Parameters!> RA -R GOTO AFTER_BBS In this example, a TYPE 15 menu command with an Errorlevel of 10 will make the batch file execute the command following the :IceCbv label. Include the line "RA -R" to return to the board after the external programs have been executed. N.B. DO NOT FORGET to include the correct command line switches for IceCBV in your batchfile. Failure to do so will result in IceCBV not functioning as it is intended. See the section of this doc file for more info on IceCBVs parameters. 4. Make sure you have changed ALL of the menus you wish to call IceCBV from and that you have saved the changes. These are only an example to get you going... Please refer to the section of these docs about 'parameters' to ensure you have the correct command line to execute IceCBV. 5. When you run IceCBV, be sure that the IceCBV.Cfg file has been created. If it has not, then you MUST run CbvCfg.Exe. If you don't, and attempt to run IceCBV.Exe directly, IceCBV will display an error message that IceCBV.Cfg doesn't exist. That's all there is to it.... The following is a list of valid parameters for IceCBV. -D:[PATH] : Where [PATH] is the full path to your BBS dropfiles. -N:[NODE] : Where [NODE] is your current node number. ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │░░░▒▒▒▓▓▓ Control Codes Used In TextFiles ▓▓▓▒▒▒░░░│ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ IceCBV has the ability to interpret and convert control codes which are imbedded in textfiles that IceCBV displays to the user. The following are valid codes that IceCBV can use. This information (referring to available ^F and ^K codes) can also be found in your RemoteAccess documentation.

This program is not Freeware. If this program satisfies your expections of a callback verifier, if not MORE, than you are expected to register it after an evaluation period of 30 days or sooner. By doing this you can be sure of continued development of the software. Thanks for your support. This Program may be freely distributed but DO NOT under any circumstances change any of the executables or alter any files that come with this. I urge you to register as soon as you can! The more registrations that I have will show the interest of people in the program, and I will release a newer version with a lot more features. Please note that the status of features (whether they are available or not to unregistered users) may be changed without further warning in later versions of the software; but this does not mean that they will be changed. If you wish to register, please fill out the registration form : North America ------------- Register.Can - Registration Form For Canadian Users Register.Usa - For the U.S.A, and for all other Registrations Australia --------- Register.Aus - Registration Form for Australasia Please at this time send ALL registrations to the address listed in the correct registration form. Thank you for your support. Any Registration forms that have invalid or missing information may be considered void and not be processed, depending on the extent of the errors. Due to recent events, I have changed my policy on personal cheques that are sent in to pay for registration. I will continue to honour them, however as of this release, there will be a 3 week hold placed on the cheque to ENSURE that it does NOT go N.S.F. Although most people are honest about this, lately too many people have sent in N.S.F. cheques, and when contacted about them, show little or no concern about them or the financial difficulties they may have caused. Additionally, a service of $15 will be levied against any N.S.F. cheques. Until both the full payment, and the service charge is recieved in the form of a MONEY ORDER, the registration will not be processed. In conclusion to the above information, to ensure a speedy turnaround time it is recommended you send your registration in the form of a money order (or direct deposit for Canadian residents) If you do choose to send in a personal cheque, it means that you have read and understood these conditions. ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │░░░▒▒▒▓▓▓ Archive Format ▓▓▓▒▒▒░░░│ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ IceCBV v1.00 has been compressed using RAR, and is a self-extracting (SFX) file. The archive should be approximately 125k in size. This archive should have an authenticity verification seal by Jeremy Landvoigt. If this archive is not in RAR/EXE format, or if the seal has been broken, it is may be advisable to get a new archive from one of the support sites listed at the end of the documentation.
