SGUTLPAK v1.4
Copyright (C)1996 Heavenware Software
All Rights Reserved!
WARNING!
-------
SGUTLPAK was designed specifically for Shotgun PRO v1.30 and above.
If you are running v1.22 or below, DO NOT use this program until after
you have upgraded, and you are SURE the upgrade took.
COPYRIGHTS:
-----------
SGUTLPAK is Copyright (c)1996 Heavenware Software. All Rights Reserved!
Written in Turbo Pascal 7.0, Copyright (c)1992 Borland International.
Shotgun Pro is Copyright (c)1994-1995 GUNN Data Systems.
WARRANTY:
---------
SGUTLPAK is distributed without warranty. In no event will Heavenware
Software be liable to you for damages, including any loss of profits, lost
savings, or other incidental or consequential damages arising out of your
use of or inability to use this program. Even if Heavenware Software, or
an authorized representative have been advised of the possibility of such
damages. Heavenware Software will not be liable for any such claim by any
other party.
SHAREWARE CONCEPT:
------------------
SGUTLPAK is distributed as shareware, and may be used up to 30 days
as a trial period only. After which, you must either register SGUTLPAK
by sending $15.00 U.S. dollars to Heavenware Software or stop using it.
Shareware only works if you register the programs you use.
FEATURES:
--------
Command line driven. This means it is very easy to use, and highly
flexible. With 14 processing options, there are over 100 combinations
in which to use it.
Most options can be used inside of a batch file to allow you total
freedom from having to do routine maintenance manually.
Can be ran from any directory since it knows where to look for the files
it needs to open.
Safe to use while a user is online. Here's why.
- SGUTLPAK never writes to any of your data files. These are the
critical files within your \SHOTGUN\DATA dir.
- For security, it makes a copy of your USERS.BBS and then opens the
temp file while it processes your commands.
Fast Processing. Highly optimized and streamline code make processing
as fast as it can be.
Designed with multi-tasking systems in mind. Time slices are given up
when it can and hard drive hits are minimal.
Open architecture allows us to add components to the main code quickly
and easily for future releases.
Low memory requirements.
Bottom Line- What does all this mean? It means we spent alot of time
thinking about how you would use it and under what conditions and wrote
a package that should meet or exceed those requirements.
REG BENEFITS:
------------
With the key in place, the nag screen and delays will be bypassed,
which will enable you to run SGUTLPAK from a batch file.
The whole point to a program of this nature is for it to perform
certain tasks automatically during your nightly maint. so you have
less to do manually.
CREDIT CARD ORDERS:
------------------
Our Online Registration site is more than happy to process any
credit card orders you might have for most of our programs.
Please read the "REGISTRATION OPTIONS" section later in this doc
for the details.

--------------

not cost you anything, but in order to obtain any new version you must
call one of our support boards and download the file(s).
Major Upgrades may at some times have a slight fee. While we want to give

INSTALLATION:

1. Unzip the archive into any dir.
2. Make sure you have PKZIP.EXE in your path.
3. Make sure you have at least FILES=30 in your CONFIG.SYS.
USAGE:
------
ALL command line options are case insensitive.
Order of options is irrevelant except where noted.
Options will be processed in the order they were given.
If "*Requires User" is shown, the option cannot be used in a batch file.
=========================================================================
Run SGUTLPAK without any options to get the basic
help file. (ie. On screen instructions)
/PRINTON Turns print mode on. All subsequent options will be
printed (If supported) until a /PRINTOFF command is issued.
/PRINTOFF Turns print mode off. DEFAULT VALUE
/USERS Displays all user names in database screen by screen.
Print mode supported. *Requires User
/DUPEU Checks for duplicate users by comparing last names.
Saves all DUPES in filename: DUPELST.TXT.
Print mode supported.
/DUPEF Checks for duplicate files by comparing filenames.
Saves all DUPES in filename: DUPEFILE.TXT.
/USER2FILE Writes all user names in database to filename: USERLST.TXT
Print mode supported.
/USER# Displays all pertinent information on users within your
search criteria. You will be asked to enter the beginning
user # and ending user # you want displayed.
Print mode supported. *Requires User
/STATS Creates an SVGA, ANSI & ASCII stats bulletin.
Stats are based from your log entries and the bulletins
will be saved as Filename(s): STATS.SG, STATS.ANS &
STATS.ASC respectively, and are saved to your
\SHOTGUN\ENGLISH\SG, \ANSI, & \ASCII dir. respectively.
/ARCLOG Archives your caller log files as \SHOTGUN\LOGS\MMDDYY.ZIP.
PKZIP.EXE *MUST* be in your path.
/NODELOG Cuts your caller logs down to size. Saves only the # of
days you specify (Up to 30). # of days to save MUST follow
this command.
Ex: SGUTLPAK /NODELOG 8 - Will save 8 days of logs
/MAILLOG Exactly the same as above but it cuts your mail logs
instead. ALL of the above rules apply to this command.
/BACKUP Makes a backup of everything in your \SHOTGUN\DATA dir.
as filename: \SHOTGUN\DATA\DATABU.ZIP
/FILES Generates a list of all files in your file areas.
Filename: FILELIST.TXT
/INFO Displays some basic information about your BBS.
No bulletins are created. Local display only.
/HELP Onscreen detailed help.
If a path is not shown for any saved file for the above options, that
file will be saved in whatever directory you run SGUTLPAK from.
The true power of SGUTLPAK comes from the flexibility of being command
line driven. I'm sure once you have used it for a while you will no
doubt begin to understand just how useful and powerful it really is.
Remember that the options can be in any order (except where noted),
you can re-use options within the same command line, and you are free
to use as many options (on a single command line) as DOS will allow,
(currently 255 char's across for DOS 5.0 and above).
WARNING!
