I'd firstly like to thank you for showing some sort of interest in this program, believe me, you will not be disappointed! Two different configurations of RA-CCD are available, these being the Registered Setup of RA-CCD or the Unregistered Evaluation Setup. As I am myself still a student, I strongly urge you to register this program so that more time and programming resources can be spent bringing you more programs and utilities to make your life as a BBS System Operator a lot easier. Although RA-CCD was tested and worked correctly under RemoteAccess version 2.00, it should also 'theoretically' work under QuickBBS and RemoteAccess versions 1.10/1.11. I don't have any ways to test this so if someone running the above versions of software can test this and let me know it would be very much appreciated. What I basically mean by theoretically, is that RA- CCD knows about QuickBBS (v2.75 and v2.76) and RA (v1.11) drop files (exitinfo.bbs and dorinfo1.def) and can (should) convert between the two as required with the need for you to do anything. Disclaimer ========== RA-CCD is guaranteed to do absolutely nothing. If it trashes your Hard Disk then that is your problem. You may use RA-CCD for a period of 30 days on a trial basis in order to determine it's suitability for your particular need. After this period you *MUST* register RA-CCD to legally continue running it. Registration entitles you to use RA-CCD and any future versions of RA-CCD for as long as you wish, subject to any licensing conditions attached to future versions. Please refer to 'HOW TO REGISTER' section of this document for further information. Harry Konstantinou (or Dynamite BBS) is in no way obligated to provide any future versions of, or support for RA-CCD. Site and group registrations are available, but are dealt with on a case by case basis only. You may NOT modify or otherwise reverse-engineer RA-CCD in any way shape or form. RA-CCD may not be used in any unlawful or illegal manner. _________________________________________________________________ Page 3 RA-CCD v1.10; The RemoteAccess Credit Card Door _________________________________________________________________ How to register? ================ To register simply print the registration form (REGISTER.FRM), and send it with your registration payment to; Harry Konstantinou C/- Dynamite BBS GPO Box 1359 CANBERRA CITY ACT 2601 AUSTRALIA Or alternatively, you can fill out the form, and crash-netmail it to me (my netmail addresses are listed at the beginning and end of this document) with your credit card details, and your registration will then be crashed back to you (if you are nodelisted in one of the networks I participate in). If you are not nodelisted, then please still supply me with your BBS phone number, and what times you have a front-end mailer running. Sending in your registration via crash-netmail is the quickest way to get your registration key (usually only takes 48 hours). All users in the UK and Europe should use the REGISTER.UK form instead of the REGISTER.FRM. My registration site for Zone 2 is Glen Chambers (Fidonet 2:257/404). Please note that you must fill out the registration form correctly in order for your details to be processed. Not doing so will result in delays in your key file arriving. Cheques and money orders should be made payable to 'Dynamite BBS', and not Harry Konstantinou. (Please note Credit Cards are also accepted - See REGISTER.FRM for more information) Please include either a FidoNet address or a stamped, self- addressed envelope so that receipt of your payment can be acknowledged. (Only if required) REGISTRATION FEES : NonCommercial / Commercial : $AUD20 or £15 Currently only one type of registration is available. Both Commercial and NonCommercial BBS systems can register for the flat rate of $20 (Australian). Please note that registration with Australian dollars is the easiest for me, but if this is unavailable to you, US dollars shouldn't be too much of a problem. An extra few dollars to aid me in converting the currency over wouldn't be too bad also. :) _________________________________________________________________ Page 4 RA-CCD v1.10; The RemoteAccess Credit Card Door _________________________________________________________________ Overview ======== RemoteAccess Credit Card Door (RA-CCD) is an online credit card door to accept user subscriptions, and update the users record accordingly. Features include: - Internal Credit Card Validation Routines (optional). - Detects MasterCard, Visa, BankCard, American Express and Diners Club automatically. - Up to 15 Credit Cards can be defined (5 hard-coded) - Up to 20 Transaction levels for the Registered version - Bad credit cards listing, so you can specify credit card numbers not to accept. - A sales tax (Markup %) can be configured per transaction item - A shipping or other flat rate can be configured per item - A shipping address can be asked for per transaction item - Users Credit field can be updated per transaction item - Users security level can be updated per transaction item - Users security flags can be updated per transaction item - Users subscription expiry date can be updated per item - Asking for a voice phone number can be configured globally - A 'MinSecLev' (Minimum Security Level) option, so that you can setup 'Upgrade' security levels (described later-on) - Optionally post any of three message templates; a thank-you message, a receipt message and a sysop notification message in any board of the hudson message base - Optionally run an external program after a transaction item has been completed - Internal message editor so that users can post a message to the system operator (named can be defined) regarding a subscription query - Internal paging routines so that users can page the sysop online regarding a subscription query. A minimum security level to page can be defined. RA-CCD also follows the RA specific paging routines (times, Scroll-Lock On/Off, etc) - And much, much more! RA-CCD is specifically designed to be an online credit card door for user subscriptions and BBS registrations. This is basically why it is limited to 10 transaction items for the unregistered version, and up-to 20 transaction items for the registered version. Future versions of RA-CCD may have the facility for more transaction items, but this will basically only be incorporated if demanded. If you are interested in running an Online Shopping Door, then please have a look at my RA-SHOP door, you will not be disappointed. _________________________________________________________________ Page 5 RA-CCD v1.10; The RemoteAccess Credit Card Door _________________________________________________________________ There are 15 different types of credit cards that can be configured. Hard-coded are BankCard, MasterCard, VisaCard, American Express and Diners Club. The internal validation routines will validate all these credit cards (automatically). The 10 optionally defined credit cards do not use the internal validation routines for obvious reasons. Once a subscription has been accepted, RA-CCD produces the following text file (in the defined path) called CCDOOR.TRA: -------------------| Transaction Details |---------------------- Joe Bloggs completed on Tuesday April 13, 1993 at 9:03:48 p.m. **Name of Transaction Item Here as defined** **Name on Credit-Card** Card Type : **Card Type** **C/Card Number** - *FAILED* Expiry Date : **Card Expiry Date** Amount $ 60.00 MarkUp $ 6.00 (10.00%) Shipping $ 10.00 -------------- TOTAL $ 76.00 ============== **Users phone number if defined** ---------------------------------------------------------------- The text '*FAILED*' is only printed to the end of the credit card number if the number failed the internal credit card validation routines and you have configured RA-CCD to NOT 'Refuse credit cards'. If you have configured RA-CCD to not accept credit cards that fail the internal validation routines, then RA-CCD will not accept the transaction, and therefore not create this file. If defined, after a transaction has been accepted, RA-CCD will run the external program for that transaction item, and also if defined will post a message to the system operator (or whichever name is defined in CCDCFG) to inform them that a transaction has taken place. RA-CCD also includes internal logging routines, so that you can see exactly what each user has done in the credit card door. For example if a user enters the door, and enters an 'invalid credit card number' it will be outputed to the logfile (as defined in CCDCFG), as well as a lot of other 'useful' information. RA-CCD has been tested on numerous machines, as well as a few local area networks (Lantastic, Netware Lite, Novell Netware 3.11/3.12), OS/2, DESQview, and has worked flawlessly under these setups. _________________________________________________________________ Page 6 RA-CCD v1.10; The RemoteAccess Credit Card Door _________________________________________________________________ Installation ============ RA-CCD requires you to make a configuration file with all your settings. You can do this by running the 'ccdcfg.exe' program. This is the program where you setup all your paths, transaction items and credit card transactions as well as a few miscellaneous options. Please see the section labelled 'CCDCFG' for more information or help on the configuration part of RA-CCD. To run RA-CCD I suggest you run it from a type 7 that loads a batch file which would change into the RA-CCD directory and then run the actual door with any command line parameters needed. The first parameter is the path to the dorinfo1.def and exitinfo.bbs system files, if they are in the local directory then there is no need to pass any parameters on loadup. Also please note that the *N parameter is only required for multi-line systems, but the *M is required by most systems, as this will swap RA out, and give more available memory for RA-CCD to function more efficiently. When installing you must remember that the 'Path to Dorinfo/ExitInfo' MUST be the FIRST parameter passed on the command line, whereas the node number the user is on, MUST be the second parameter passed from the command line. For Multi-Node systems I suggest the following batch file: @ECHO OFF CD\DOORS\CCDOOR CCDOOR C:\RA\LINE%1\ %1 CD\RA\LINE%1 Your optional command line in the menu would look like this: *C /C C:\BATCH\CCDOOR.BAT *N *M The same 'style' of batch file can be used for a single node system as well, the only difference is that you do not have to pass the node number on the command line (as the second parameter). Since I run a multi-line system here, this batch file will load up RA-CCD from any line, and is very quick as it does no file copying of dorinfo and exitinfo files. If you prefer to copy exitinfo.bbs and dorinfo1.def to the RA-CCD directory, then do not forget to copy them back after the door has exited, and rewritten them. This is crucial for RA-CCDs' user upgrade functions to work correctly. _________________________________________________________________ Page 7 RA-CCD v1.10; The RemoteAccess Credit Card Door _________________________________________________________________ RA-CCD requires: - a copy of 'ccdoor.cfg' (created by CCDCFG.EXE) in the current directory - that the RA environment variable be set (SET RA=C:\RA). Refer to the actual RemoteAccess manual for more information on this. CCDCFG ====== File Menu: - Info This option simply displays a window listing credits for RA-CCD and CCDCFG. - Registration This option also displays a window that gives you details on registration for RA-CCD, please note that RA-CCD cannot be run for more than 30 days in the unregistered evaluation mode. - DOS Shell Just in case you wish to 'Drop to DOS' while in CCDCFG to check something out. Type 'EXIT' from the DOS prompt to return operation to the configuration editor. - Exit Pretty clear I would think :-), this exits CCDCFG. If any changes were made to any option from the Systems or the Options menu, then it will prompt asking you if you wish to save these changes or not. System Menu: - Paths - LogFile Path/Name This is the path to the logfile you wish to create (if at all). This must be a valid DOS Filename (and directory if required). If you are running on a multi-node system, you can setup RA-CCD to write separate logs for each node. You do this by placing the '*N' parameter in the filename. For example: LogFile Path/Name: CCDOOR*N.LOG will write a 'CCDOOR1.LOG' file for Node 1, a 'CCDOOR2.LOG' for Node 2, etc. RA-CCD picks up the current node as the second parameter passed on _________________________________________________________________ Page 8 RA-CCD v1.10; The RemoteAccess Credit Card Door _________________________________________________________________ the command line upon execution (Refer to the Chapter on Installation). - Receipts Path If you wish your transaction (receipt) file to be placed in a separate directory, then simply place the name of the directory here. CCDCFG will attempt to validate its existence and will ask you if you wish to create the directory if it does not exist. Please note that you are NOT required to place the name of the transaction file here just the valid path. - RA Message Base This is the path to the Hudson Message Base as indicated in RACONFIG. If you are not going to use any of RA-CCDs' internal message base posting routines then you are not required to place anything here. - Message Details - Msg Area No This is the Hudson message base board number to post all RA-CCDs' messages into. Valid range is from 0 to 200. If you are not going to use any of the internal message posting routines, then you should set the message base board to '0'. Make sure that you have a valid and correct 'RA Message Base' path specified in the 'Systems => Paths' menu. Note that ALL 'queries' and ALL 'Notify' Messages will go into this message board. - Address To If you plan to use the internal message base routines, then this is the name of the user to post ALL the messages to. All the messages include the 'Subscription Queries' from users, and all the 'Notify Messages' from RA-CCD itself to notify you that a user has subscribed. - Misc Options - Min Paging Level If you do not want ALL users to have the ability to page you from inside of RA-CCD then set the 'Minimum Security' Level to access this option. Valid range is 0 to 65535. Setting to 0 will allow all users inside of RA-CCD to page you. _________________________________________________________________ Page 9 RA-CCD v1.10; The RemoteAccess Credit Card Door _________________________________________________________________ Note that RA-CCD does enforce (if it can find a valid copy of CONFIG.RA) and use RA's internal 'Maximum Page Times' and also the actual 'Paging Times' (Days and Hours). RA-CCD also follows RemoteAccess in that it uses the 'Scroll-Lock' key to silence the page. With Scroll-Lock on, the paging will take place, with Scroll-Lock on, it will continue to page but will not actually make any noise at the local console. RA-CCDs' paging routines also require it to find a copy of 'PAGE.RA' in the RA system directory as pointed to by the RA Environment variable. - Currency Symbol Here you can define up-to 3 ascii characters instead of (or in conjunction with) '$'. This is useful for foreign (non Australian) users. For example, you can change this to 'US$' or 'NZ$' depending on your particular needs. - Language Editor This is the language editor. Most (not ALL) of RA-CCD prompts can be defined with the help of this editor. The language prompts are stored in the file CCDOOR.LAN. RA-CCD will ONLY work with one language file (CCDOOR.LAN) at the moment, but future versions will allow you to specify different languages files via the RA-CCD command line. There are about 30 different prompt that can be defined. Valid keys are: PgUp/PgDn Used to scroll up and down the language prompts listing, one page at a time. Up Arrow/Down Arrow Used to scroll up and down the language prompts listing, one line at a time. Enter Used to EDIT a prompt. Simply put the cursor on the item you wish to edit, and then press ENTER. ESCape Press ESCAPE to exit the language editor. You can also press ESCAPE when editing a prompt, this will cause the prompt NOT to be updated. _________________________________________________________________ Page 10 RA-CCD v1.10; The RemoteAccess Credit Card Door _________________________________________________________________ Options Menu: - Active Options - Refuse C/C Whether or not you wish to refuse credit cards that do not pass the internal credit card validation routines. Setting this to 'YES' WILL refuse credit cards that fail the validation, whereas setting this to 'NO' will simply flag the entry as '*FAILED*' in the transaction/receipts file (CCDOOR.TRA) and continue with the transaction. Note that only 'BankCard', 'MasterCard', 'VISA Card' and 'AMEX' (American Express) use the internal validation routines, whereas the 10 extra definable credit cards do NOT use any type of credit card validation done by RA-CCD. - Phone Prompt If you wish to ALSO ask (Globally) for a contact phone number while a user is entering in their information, set this option to YES, if not simply setting it to NO will not ask for a contact phone number. - Active C/Cards - BankCard * Automatic Validation Present * - MasterCard * Automatic Validation Present * - Visa * Automatic Validation Present * - Amex * Automatic Validation Present * - Diners Club * Automatic Validation Present * Do you accept any of these credit cards?. Set to ACTIVE if you want RA-CCD to allow the user to process a transaction with that type of card. - Card #1 TO Card #10 Here you can define up to 10 different credit cards that you accept. No internal credit card validation is processed on any of these 10 cards, so if you do not wish to use the above internal validation routines for say MasterCard, then simply set the above MasterCard option to 'Not Active' and enter a new MasterCard option. _________________________________________________________________ Page 11 RA-CCD v1.10; The RemoteAccess Credit Card Door _________________________________________________________________ Item Manager Menu: - Transaction Editor This is the most complex part of the installation. But it can also be the most simplest if you take the time to read and understand the following properly. You can have up to 10 different transaction items for the unregistered evaluation copy of RA-CCD, and up to 20 different transaction items for the registered version. - Viewing The following keys are available for use while you are viewing item details; RIGHT/LEFT/UP/DOWN ARROWS & HOME/END KEYS - Allows you to move from one item to another with the use of these keys. ENTER (Edit) - Edit the current transaction, refer to the section below labelled 'Editing' for further information. F2 (Search By ItemName) - This function provides a quick method to move through the currently selected database to find the record you wish to edit or view. INS (Add New Record) - Creates a new record for entry in memory, but does not actually write it to disk until you press ESCAPE and then choose 'Y'es to save changes. DEL (Delete Current Record) - Removes the currently active record (transaction item) from disk and memory - Editing Pressing the ESCAPE key after you have finished editing, will ask you if you wish to save changes. Replying YES to this will save changes to DISK. The following fields are used and should all be set as required: _________________________________________________________________ Page 12 RA-CCD v1.10; The RemoteAccess Credit Card Door _________________________________________________________________ Name: This is the name of the transaction item ie: 'Full Membership (1 Year) Level 120' If this field is blank, then this particular transaction item will NOT be displayed to the user. Amount: How much does this option cost (valid range is from $0.00 to 9999999.99) MarkUp: A 'MARKUP' Percentage. This is more specifically designed for if you are using RA-CCD for a shopping door, or if you maybe charge your 'bank fees' to your users. (Valid range is from 0.00% to 100.00%) Shipping: How much to add to the AMOUNT and MARKUP for the shipping of this good. Again mainly for online shopping purposes. Sec.Level: What Security Level to upgrade user too, after he/she has completed a credit card transaction successfully (Valid range is from 0 to 65535). MinSecLev: Minimum security level required to access this option, this is specifically designed for 'Upgrade Access levels' so that, if a user is at access level 1, and he/she wishes to upgrade to access level 2, the program makes sure they are ON access level 1, and if the are, shows them this option, if not, it doesn't allow them to upgrade to the new level, until they have paid for access level 1 privileges. Set to 0 to disable. (Valid range is from 0 to 65535) N.Credits: If you wish to sell CREDITS, then this is the field where you enter them in. If this field is '0' then RA- CCD will NOT change the users CREDIT value, whereas if this field is greater than 0 it will ADD 'this' amount of credits to the users current credit balance. ExpiryDay: How many DAYS to add to the 'Subscription Expiry Day' field in RA. I set this to 365 or 366 depending on how you feel :-).. (valid range is from 0 to 65535) _________________________________________________________________ Page 13 RA-CCD v1.10; The RemoteAccess Credit Card Door _________________________________________________________________ Options: * Press ENTER on this field if you wish to change any of the items listed under the Options heading. * No Kill: 'X' = Turn users no-kill flag ON (or leave ON) 'O' = Turn users no-kill flag OFF (or leave OFF) '-' = Leave users no-kill flag ALONE (do not toggle) Xfer Prty: 'X' = Turn users transfer priority flag ON (or leave ON) 'O' = Turn users transfer priority flag OFF (or leave OFF) '-' = Leave users transfer priority flag ALONE (do not toggle) Hidden: 'X' = Turn users hidden flag ON (or leave ON) 'O' = Turn users hidden flag OFF (or leave OFF) '-' = Leave users hidden flag ALONE (do not toggle) Page Prty: 'X' = Turn users paging priority flag ON (or leave ON) 'O' = Turn users paging priority flag OFF (or leave OFF) '-' = Leave users paging priority flag ALONE (do not toggle) Post Bill: 'X' = Turn users post bill flag ON (or leave ON) 'O' = Turn users post bill flag OFF (or leave OFF) '-' = Leave users post bill flag ALONE (do not toggle) Ship To: Ask for a 'Delivery Address' for this particular item. Thank Msg: If this is set to 'YES' and the THANKYOU.MSG message template file exists (in the same directory as CCDOOR.EXE), RA-CCD will post a private message to the user in the message area defined in System.Message_Details. (See the section 'Message Templates' for more information) _________________________________________________________________ Page 14 RA-CCD v1.10; The RemoteAccess Credit Card Door _________________________________________________________________ Sysop Msg: If this is set to 'YES' and the SYSOP.MSG message template file exists (in the same directory as CCDOOR.EXE), RA-CCD will post a private message to the user defined in System.Message_Details. Address_to. (See the section 'Message Templates' for more information) Recpt Msg: If this is set to 'YES' and the RECEIPT.MSG message template file exists (in the same directory as CCDOOR.EXE), RA-CCD will post a private message to the user in the message area defined in System.Message_Details. (See the section 'Message Templates' for more information) A Flags, B Flags, C Flags, D Flags: These follow the RA 2.xx specific type of flags. Valid options are as follows: 'X' = Turn flag ON (or leave ON) 'O' = Turn flag OFF (or leave OFF) '-' = Leave flag ALONE (do not toggle) External: This option simply executes a DOS Shell after a valid transaction has taken place. RA-CCD is simply swapped to either EMS/XMS or Disk, depending on which one is currently available, and which will be the most efficient for the DOS Shell. If this field is blank, RA-CCD will not attempt to exit to any external program. You can use this option for quite a lot of things. Currently, no parameters are passed to the program. You are NOT required (and should not) pass the extension of the file to execute. For example, simply placing 'TEST' will attempt to execute 'TEST.COM' then 'TEST.EXE' then 'TEST.BAT'. BAD Credit Cards Listing/Detection ================================== RA-CCD now has the ability to not accept registrations from certain credit card numbers. All credit card numbers which are not accepted are listed in a file called BADCARDS.LST. The format of this file is to list one (bad) credit card number per line of the textfile. The badcards listing accepts wildcards ('*'). _________________________________________________________________ Page 15 RA-CCD v1.10; The RemoteAccess Credit Card Door _________________________________________________________________ Some example lines would be: 5199* 1234* 1111-1111-1111-1111 2222* 3333* For example, if a user entered ANY credit card number that started with '5199' RA-CCD will NOT accept it, and would then post the message template BADCARDS.MSG to the appropriate person. RA-CCD automatically 'strips' all the following characters before it compares the string to what the user entered: ' ', '-', '\', '/'. Comments can also be added to the BADCARDS.LST file. To do this, simply start a line with a semi-colon (';') and add any text or comments you wish to have in your file after the semi-colon. See the sample BADCARDS.LST included in the original archive for more information. Message Templates ================= RA-CCD now supports message templates. This version of RA-CCD only supports the Hudson message base, but the next version will support JAM for message templates. There are four different message templates, they are: THANKYOU.MSG A 'thank-you for subscribing' message. This message is FROM the user name defined in System.Message_Details, and is sent TO the users' real name. SYSOP.MSG This message is sent to the system operator (ie: name defined in System.Message_Details), and is from 'RA Credit Card Door'. This message is good as an indicator to the system operator that someone has subscribed. RECEIPT.MSG An 'official receipt' type message. This message is addressed to the users' real name, and is from the name defined in System.Message_Details. The user can 'capture' this message, and print it out locally for tax (or other) purposes. _________________________________________________________________ Page 16 RA-CCD v1.10; The RemoteAccess Credit Card Door _________________________________________________________________ BADCARDS.MSG This message template is posted if RA-CCD finds that the credit card number that the user has entered is listed in RA-CCD's bad credit cards listing (BADCARDS.LST). See the section called 'BAD Credit Cards Listing/Detection'. All of these message templates accept MOST (all except for the codes that return the 'ON/OFF' string) of RA's internal CTRL+F text-file control codes as well as a few more. This feature is CASE SENSITIVE. What this means is that ^FA is different from ^Fa. All of RA's codes are in upper-case, whereas all of RA-CCD codes are in lower case. The extra codes introduced by RA-CCD are: ^Fa : Transaction Item Name (as defined in CCDCFG) ^Fb : Users OLD Security level (before subscribing) ^Fc : Users OLD Subscription date (before subscribing) ^Fd : Name on Credit Card ^Fe : Credit Card Number ^Ff : Credit Card Expiry Date ^Fg : Phone number supplied when subscribing ^Fh : Name of the Card used (Bankcard, Mastercard, etc) ^Fi : Transaction Amount ^Fj : Transaction Markup (Percent) ^Fk : Transaction Markup (Actual Amount) ^Fl : Transaction Shipping Cost ^Fm : Transaction Total Cost (Amount + Markup + Shipping) ^Fo : Current Date (Long Format) ^Fp : Current Time Please see the sample message template files (THANKYOU.MSG, SYSOP.MSG, RECEIPT.MSG) included in an original RA-CCD archive for more ideas. External ANS/ASC Files ====================== There are only a few hard-coded ANSI/ASCII screens required/not- required, but will be displayed if required. These should ALL be placed in the same directory as CCDOOR.EXE and CCDCFG.EXE. CCDMAIN.ANS/ASC This is the main menu, and is NEEDED for the program to work at all :) _________________________________________________________________ Page 17 RA-CCD v1.10; The RemoteAccess Credit Card Door _________________________________________________________________ CCDWARN.ANS/ASC This is a 'warning' bulletin supplied with the door, that tells the user, that it is an offence to use a credit-card if it is stolen or otherwise, not allowed to be used or whatever, you will have to edit this file and insert your 'BILLING' name at the bottom of both the ANSI and ASCII versions. CCDHELP.ANS/ASC This is the help screen for the main menu, if exists, it will allow the option to be pressed, if the file does not exist, it will not allow the caller to access this option at all. CCDHELP1.ANS/ASC If exists will activate the option, and allow it to be pressed. This is the first of two help screens that the sysop can put whatever he/she feels like it in there, maybe show the 'access' levels and prices, so that the user does not have to actually perform a credit card transaction before he/she can see the prices, etc... CCDHELP2.ANS/ASC Same as above, if this file exists, will allow the user to press/access this option, if it doesn't, will not let the user access this option. SUBx.ANS/ASC If the user subscribes using Item 5 from the Transaction editor, then RA-CCD will display SUB5.ANS or SUB5.ASC straight after the user has confirmed that they wish to continue with the purchase/upgrade. If the user subscribes using item 19 then SUB19.ANS or SUB19.ASC will be displayed. If you do not want to setup individual 'Thank-you' screens for each transaction, then you can have a global screen. See SUBSCR.ANS/ASC below for more info. SUBSCR.ANS/ASC The purpose of this file is to give a personal thank- you type response to the user. If this file does not exist, then RA-CCD will automatically write 'Thank-you for your support!', and if the users security level has changed will also write 'Your new security level is X'. _________________________________________________________________ Page 18 RA-CCD v1.10; The RemoteAccess Credit Card Door _________________________________________________________________ Multi Node Operation ==================== Multi node operating is described all through this manual, but there are a few things I thought I should remind you all of here: - Don't forget to - Place the '*N' parameter in your LogFile Path/Name option under the 'System=>Paths' option. - Pass the NODE number as the second parameter on the command line when executing the door. ie: CCDOOR.EXE C:\RA\LINE2 2 (The '2' is the node number) If you have not forgotten the above few hints, then you should have no problem in running RA-CCD in a multi-node environment under both a Network or a Multi-Tasker. Sysop Keys ========== The following keys are available to sysops when users are running RA-CCD: ALT+C Chat to the user. ESCape will exit CHAT-MODE. Full word-wrapping is available in chat mode. Up Arrow Increase users time (by 2 minutes) INSIDE of RA-CCD ONLY. Down Arrow Decrease users time (by 2 minutes) INSIDE of RA-CCD ONLY. F1 Standard Status bar with users time remaining, etc. F2 Some system information. F3 Shows users' flags settings.
