- Sub Date Reminder v1.0 from LlanoWare
-
- What is it:
- SDR generates a ans/asc file for you to display to your users with an
- xxxxx security level, yy days before thier subscription runs out. SDR will
- only display the file once per day!
-
- FileNames:
- SDR_10.EXE is for use with RA 1.11, SDR_20.EXE is for use with RA 2.00
- When reading this doc, substitute filenames as needed.
-
- How it works:
- SDR reads the users security level, subdate and lastdateon from exitinfo.bbs.
- SDR then looks for a file called Sxxx_yyy.A?? (S MUST be the first letter of
- the filename, xxx=security level, yyy=number of days before subdate expires,
- A??= ANS for ansi users and ASC for ascii users). If the users data does not
- match the requirements, they are show a 0 byte file.
-
- Example:
- Say you have a user who's subdate expires in 4 days with a security level of
- 100 and has not been on today. If there is a file named: S100_4.ANS and/or
- S100_4.ASC they will be copied to a files named SDREMIND.ANS and SDREMIND.ASC.
-
- Usage:
- Place SDR_10.EXE in your textfiles directory (it MUST be there). Make your
- ansi/ascii files for the security levels and number of days before expiration
- in your textfiles directory. When making the ansi/ascii files, give them
- names that start with an 'S', next comes the seclevel this file is for
- (NO leading 0's), next comes the '_', then the number of days before users
- subdate expires (NO leading 0's) and last have a .ANS or .ASC extension.
- examples:
- S100_4.ANS SecLevel 100, displayed 4 days before expiration
- S1500_10.ANS " " 1500 " " 10 " " " " " "
- S25000_5.ANS " " 25,000 " " 5 " " " " " "
- S10_12.ANS " " 10 " " 12 " " " " " "
- You will need 2 automatic menu commands to properly use SDR. The first
- will run SDR, the second will display the file to the user.
- The first automatic command will be a type7 with optional data of:
- C:\RA\TXTFILES\SDR_10.EXE (change to correct path to your txtfiles dir)
- The second automatic command will be a type45 with optional data of:
- SDREMIND
-
- Multiple languages:
- If you have more than one language and read textfiles from more than one
- directory, you need to install multiple SDR_10.EXE files in each of the
- textfiles directorys. SDR gets the information of where to find/create the
- *.A?? files from it's own commandline.
