SFORGLOG
Version 1.0

INTRODUCTION
------------
SFORGLOG is a companion utility designed for use with a SPITFIRE
Bulletin Board System. The purpose of SFORGLOG is add a date to
the subscription field in the user database. It will add the
original logon date of each user to the subscription field, but change
the year to the current year.
WHY
---
If you have been a SPITFIRE sysop for very long, you know that in the
beginning, there was no field for a subscription date. By the time
that the subscription field was added, you probably had a fairly large
user base. I wanted a way to add a subscription date without having
to go through 2500 records individually.
I am kind-of-a fanatic about running a free board but I have always
wanted a way to periodically have users update their records. By
filling in the Subscription field with the users original logon date
(using the current year), I can now send notices to users to update
their record through one of the questionnaires at selected intervals.
DISTRIBUTION PACKAGE
--------------------
When decompressed, the distribution package, SFORGLOG.ZIP, should
contain the following files:
SFORGLOG.DOC - This documentation file
SFORGLOG.EXE - Executable file
FILE_ID.DIZ - Text file containing program description
You are free to distribute the SFORGLOG program as long as it remains
unmodified and no fee is charged. Sysops are free to post this and
subsequent versions of SFORGLOG on public Bulletin Board Systems as
long as no fee is charged to obtain the file.
COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS
-----------------------
SFORGLOG uses no command line parameters.
USAGE
-----
SFORGLOG must reside in the same directory as your SFUSERS.DAT
file. It is recommended that a backup of the SFUSERS.DAT be made
before running this program.
REGISTRATION
------------
SFORGLOG is distributed under the shareware concept. You may use
the files included within SFORGLOG.ZIP for as long as you like without
fear of being visited by the Software Police or my cousin Guido.
There are two ways to register this program.
