: ChargePost v1.02
: (c) 1996 Intuitive Vision Software. All Rights Reserved.
DESCRIPTION
-----------
ChargePost is a utility designed to work with H. Allen Cravener's WC-Charge
online credit card/checking door and any BBS software that supports the
*.MSG, JAM or Squish message base formats. ChargePost will read in the
user's receipt file and sysop's copy of the receipt and will post each of
them to a specific base that you configure. This is a very good way to make
sure that your user sees their receipt for products or services that they
have purchased, and that you always know who has purchased what!
LICENSE
-------
See accompanying LICENSE.TXT for license information. This file is the
complete license agreement for this Intuitive Vision product.
REGISTRATION
------------
To register your copy of ChargePost, you may either run the REGISTER.EXE
program included with the package, or fill out the REGFORM.USA file included
in the package. The REGISTER.EXE program is an interactive registration
form, which will allow you register your copy of ChargePost, as well as
many other Intuitive Vision Software products, and will create a file called
REGISTER.FRM. Whichever method you choose, you will need to send that
registration form, along with proper payment to the address listed in the
form. Fast Thoughts requires a $10 registration fee, and as a shareware
product, must be registered within 30 days.
You may also register ONLINE via Credit Card or Check at PCsource BBS! See
the CONTACT INFORMATION section for phone numbers for PCsource BBS.
Thank you for your support of Intuitive Vision Software!
FEATURES
--------
ChargePost is a message posting utility for use with the WC-Charge
PROFESSIONAL Credit Card/Check Processing Door. ChargePost is for use with
BBS software that supports the *.MSG, JAM, or Squish message base format.
It is NOT BBS specific, and does NOT read any configuration files for any
other programs. This allows for the most flexible use of the program. All
you need to do is specify which message bases that you are going to have
ChargePost place the messages in.
ChargePost will place a copy of the User's receipt into a message base that
you choose, so that they can view it online via the BBS. ChargePost will
also post a copy of the LASTCHG.x file (which contains a copy of the receipt,
as well as other information) in a message base of your choice to the SysOp,
so that you can be notified of all charges/checking transfers that are placed
on your system.
NOTE: These messages WILL ALWAYS BE MARKED WITH THE PRIVATE FLAG! This is
due to the fact that the customer's credit card information is in their
receipt, and this is sensitive information. Please be aware that different
BBS software handles message bases differently, so understand that by setting
ChargePost to post messages to a publicly accessible message base may in fact
allow all users to view these messages. It is Intuitive Vision Software's
recommendation that you set ChargePost to place these messages into your
private local e-mail base.
INSTALLATION
------------
Unarchive the distribution archive into a directory of your choice. Once
you have unarchived the file, you need to take the following steps:
* Run CHPOST /S from the directory where you have placed ChargePost.
This will allow you to edit your Configuration.
* Place a call to ChargePost in your batch file that runs WC-Charge,
AFTER WC-Charge has run. EXAMPLE:
c:
cd \charge
set WCNODEID=%1
wccharge node%WCNODEID%.cfg
c:
cd \chpost
chpost -n%1
SETUP AND OPERATION
-------------------
ChargePost's setup is pretty simple. There are 3 main pieces of information
that you need to tell ChargePost:
* The path to your RECEIPT.x/LASTCHG.x files. Please refer to the
WC-Charge documentation for more help with determining this path.
* The information about the message base(s) that you wish to have the
messages posted in. SEE PREVIOUS SECTION FOR INFORMATION AND
SUGGESTIONS FOR MESSAGE BASES.
* The SysOp's name. This is the name that messages TO the SysOp will
be posted to, and the name that messages FROM the SysOp to the
User will be posted from.
ChargePost supports the *.MSG, JAM, and Squish message base formats. Setup
for each of them is similar, with the one difference being the *.MSG format.
For the JAM and Squish formats, you will need to tell ChargePost the PATH and
FILENAME of your message base. The FILENAME is simply the 8 character name,
no extension. Don't forget to set the format in SETUP to JAM or Squish!
For the *.MSG format, the FILENAME is unused, and the PATH to your message
base is only used.
Please refer to your BBS software's documentation and to your setup in your
BBS software to see which format message bases your BBS software supports and
what format the base you wish the messages be posted in are set to.
COMMANDLINE OPTIONS
-------------------
ChargePost has the following commandline parameters:
-S = Go to the SETUP menu
-N[node] = Process Receipts and Charges for Node [node]
One would use the -N parameter to have ChargePost process the current
activity of WC-Charge and post appropriate messages.
