Version 3.0
Copyright (c) 1994-96 - All Rights Reserved
By BWS - Brian's World Software
Programmed by: Acidic Brain
DISCLAIMER (Legal mumbo jumbo, has to be done.)
-----------------------------------------------
The author and all groups affiliated with the author of this program take
no responsibility for any damage which may occur to you or your system as a
direct or indirect result of using this program. It has been tested on the
authors own system and found to work without error. If it fails to do the
same on your system, don't blame the author. This program modifies your
USERS.DAT file and it will create a backup copy defined by you if you
configure it to in your Renegade DATA directory. If you don't trust the
program, manually copy your USERS.DAT to a safe directory yourself so you
can always copy it back if you need to.
WARNING: This version of Credit Fix should not be used with any other
versions of Renegade other than v4-05 EXP and v5-11 EXP. The
format of the USERS.DAT file was changed for v4-05 and v5-11
and if Credit Fix is used on any prior versions, it will
serverely corrupt your USERS.DAT file!
DISTRIBUTION (How can I distribute this program?)
-------------------------------------------------
Credit Fix is a freeware program. You may distribute it to friends, other
bulletin boards, etc. so long as there is no fee charged, and all the files
are included in their current state - unchanged and unmodified in any way.
I encourage you to copy and distribute this to every BBS you call.
Shareware distributors/vendors may distribute this program in their packages
or include it on a shareware CD as long as they inform the author FIRST.
PURPOSE (Why did I make this thing?)
-------------------------------------------
Credit Fix v3.0 has changed a lot from the older versions. Cott Lang has
finally corrected the problems with showing only credit balances to users
and awarding debits instead of credits. This utility will do a little
maintenance for you. I think of it as my personal accountant for RG. :)
It will scan through the user file and update credit and debit values. It
will subtract the debit values from credit values if there are any and if
there are more debits than credits or a negative credit balance (this can
cause big problems and your user will NEVER get on) it will zero out both
the credits and debits if defined to do so.
HOW TO USE IT!
--------------
Just place CRFIX.EXE and CRFIX.CFG in any directory you choose. Edit the
CRFIX.CFG file to suit your system, and type CRFIX to start it. It will read
in the information from your RENEGADE.DAT file and process the USERS.DAT file
in your data directory.
This is a sample of the format for the CRFIX.CFG file:
-=-=-=-=-= Start of SAMPLE CRFIX.CFG FILE =-=-=-=-=-
e:\renegade
1
users.crf
1
Line 1: Path to RENEGADE.DAT file (Main RG Directory) with no backslash
Line 2: Back up USERS.DAT file (0 = no, 1 = yes)
Line 3: Filename for USERS.DAT backup file
Line 4: Zero out negative accounts (0 = no, 1 = yes)
-=-=-=-=-= End of SAMPLE CRFIX.CFG FILE =-=-=-=-=-
Can You Explain Again What This Does?
-------------------------------------
Of course... here are a few examples and how crfix will change the users'
accounts.
Example #1 (any normal user):
========================================================
■ Before Credit Fix
Credit = 15000 Debit = 7500 Balance = 7500
========================================================
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
■ After Credit Fix
Credit = 7500 Debit = 0 Balance = 7500
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Example #2 (user with negative balance):
========================================================
■ Before Credit Fix
Credit = 10000 Debit = 15000 Balance = -5000
========================================================
(* if defined to zero negative accounts *)
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
■ After Credit Fix
Credit = 0 Debit = 0 Balance = 0
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
