OneTime V2.3 Documentation

First of all, just to make sure, I have no responsibility for any problems
happening to your system while this program is in use.
If you have been using OneTime Version 2.0, you can simply rename
ONETIME.USE to ONETIME.LOG to continue using the same log file. Otherwise you
can leave the old log alone and OneTime will continue using it perfectly.
Okay. This is a small program that I created for SLBBS, but it can be
used on just It runs a door about every system. It will allow you to make a
program run once for any particular person, which is very useful for logon
auto-doors. For instance, I wanted everyone to answer by Voting Booth, so I
ran it with this. Each person had to do it once, and after that, it
transparently skips it. Operation of this program is very simple.
First of all, if used as a logon auto-door, set it to whatever it would
normally be for the program you will be using OneTime with.
Syntax: ONETIME <UserName> <Command>
<UserName> must be one word, and <Command> can be as long as you like.
Set Your BBS Settings to what you normally would.
Run ONETIME without any parameters to get a description of the commands.
ONETIME will exit with an ERRORLEVEL 0 if successful, and an ERRORLEVEL 1 if
an error occured during runtime.
For instance, my Voting Booth door used a "VB %U" so my command read
"ONETIME %U VB %U."
No matter what you set the communications support is set to, whatever is
printed on the Screen by OneTime will not be sent, since it uses direct screen
writes. Now your program is all set to run. To reset the log of people who
have used is, just delete the ONETIME.LOG file.
This program is Freeware, meaning that the author expects no donations,
and the program is in no way inhibited. However, any donations would be very
appreciated. Send any donations to:
