U S R - E D I T version 16 (c)1990 by Rick Lawsha Stork RBBS (309)342-0637
REGISTRATION -- USR-EDIT is a shareware program meaning it is supported
by you, the user. To date there are only 6 registered users. If you
find USR-EDIT of value to you then send $10 or more to the following:
Rick Lawsha
623 N. Prairie St.
Galesburg, IL. 61401
OVERVIEW -- USR-EDIT is a utility to edit the RBBS USERS file. Version
16 works with RBBS versions 17-1A thru 17-3A. Do not use this utility
on versions of RBBS older than 17-1A. Versions of RBBS older than
17-1A have a different USERS file layout. USR-EDIT will only work on
versions of RBBS newer than 17-3A if the USERS file format remains
unchanged.
SYNTAX -- USR-EDIT [filename] [[firstname lastname [NOTE1*]]
'filename' is an RBBS USERS file name. If no filename is given then
USR-EDIT will look for a file called USERS in the current directory.
If a 'filename' is selected then you may optionally supply the persons
first AND last names. USR-EDIT will then load the file and goto the
selected user.
NOTE1* -- RBBS will allow a user to use a '2 part' last name as in:
'JOHN SMITH III' if the user logs on as john;smith III;pswd or by
entering a first name, <ENTER>, and then entering the last name of
'SMITH III'.
EXAMPLES -- The command line can contain upper or lower case.
usr-edit
usr-edit \rbbs\users
f:\util\usr-edit mainu.def
c:\tools\usr-edit f:\rbbs\users rick lawsha
usr-edit E:users John Smith III
