SysOp Documentation For
Version 1.2
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ OVERVIEW ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
M*E*G*A-Key Kit is a complete ShareWare Registration Management package.
It includes: Make-Key Menu Source Code, 8 Character Randomized Password
Utility, Key Registration System Door, Batch Installation, and a PassWord
Database Files System (PWMake). Although it will run on just about any BBS
system, it was developed for WildCat!4.x. Therefore, it has special support
for that particular BBS package in that the WCCode program (*.WCX) will handle
all the door functions and WildCat!4.x control codes. However, if you aren't
running WildCat!4.x, don't worry, it will also work as a stand alone
executable to prepare the password databases needed to run an on-line
Registration System!
This document covers the legalities, support, and update information for
the "M*E*G*A-Key Kit" as well as installation, registration, and BBS Support
information for the door itself. Starting with version 1.1, there is
no longer any enclosed User document for PWMake. For the remainder of this
document, unless stated otherwise, PWMake refers to the "integration program"
itself and not the entire package.
If you have a problem you can't find an answer to in this document, then
please call MegaComm(sm) BBS (540) 829-Big1.
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ FEATURES ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
PWMake, in cooperations with the PUBLIC DOMAIN programs found in "M*E*G*A-Key
Kit", provides:
* A Method to create an on-line Registration System.
* A Database of nearly a thousand mixed, unique passwords.
* A security system to generate passwords for protected files.
* A Historical log of used passwords and encryption codes--similar
to TABS.
* A process to create ShareWare Registration Keys.
* An Incentive to entice users to pay for ShareWare programs.
* A fully documented, editable tutorial of source code.
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ APPLICATION SUPPORT ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
PWMake will recognize or CREATE the following database files:
* PWTemp.TXT
* PWord.DBF
* PWUsed.DBF
* MEGA.KEY
* PWMAKE.EXE
* PWMAKE.WCX
All files have been tested with the Wildcat! BBS Package (07-94 Version)
and have been found to work flawlessly. The program was converted from
WCCode to QuickBasic and back. If you have a problem, insure that the
key file, is in the current directory and try running the program again,
then contact me and I'll see what I can do about fixing it!. Much of the
"M*E*G*A - Key Kit" is PUBLIC DOMAIN. Please send comments to the appro-
priate author. Remember, I wrote the integration program (the glue that
sticks everything together); I cannot, nor will not, repair other authors'
work.
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ WARRANTY ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
This product is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. This
includes, but is not limited to, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY and
WARRANTIES OF FIT FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE. The entire risk as to the
results and performance of the program is assumed by you the user.
Furthermore, I, the author, do not warrant, guarantee, or make any
representations regarding the use of, or the results of the use of the
program, and you rely on the program and results solely at your own risk.
I, the author, will not accept responsibility for system damage, loss of
profit, loss of data, or any other special, incidental, or consequential
damages resulting from the use or inability to use this product.
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ THE LEGAL STUFF ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
Upon registration, you do not become owner of the software. I, the author,
retain all rights to the software, copies of the software, and other
related materials which I have created. All rights not specifically
granted in this license are reserved by the author.
Failure to comply with this license can, and will, result in suspension and
removal of your registration without refund and may result in legal action.
The PWMake package is distributed under the SHAREWARE concept. Under this
concept, you may use the unregistered evaluation version for a reasonable
time period. After this time, you must either register your copy or
discontinue usage. Hey! It costs you a silly phone call to register. Just
do it. If you want the source code for PWMake, it will cost you 1 hour's
wages! Just pay it. I believe it could take more than 1 an hour to write,
compile, trouble-shoot and debug both these programs. So come-on, pay the
minimum wage worker what he's worth......please!
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ REGISTRATION ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
The distribution copy of PWMake is NOT CRIPPLED in any way! It contains
one annoyance screen as an incentive to register the source code!
However, the "silly" screens *WILL* stop once you've surrendered the massive
fortune of $5 in exchange for the PWMake Source Code Package.
If you decide the product IS worth the registration, please consult
the REGISTER.TXT for details on how to register. Really, it's quite simple.
To REGISTER the "M*E*G*A-Key" Package, call MegaComm(sm) BBS (540) 829-Big1.
Go to the Registration Menu and fill out the Registration Questionnaire.
That's it! You're REGISTERED! The cost to YOU?--One Phone Call. If you're
curious about the internal miracles and manipulations of the PWMAKE program,
then REGISTER the PWMAKE Source Code package. Please consult the
REGISTER.TXT for details about how to register this package.
Once registered, you are entitled to as many updates as you want to
download. If there is a newer version available when you register, I will
make sure you know about it and any changes made. Then, if you want it,
you can call MegaComm(sm) BBS--or any BBS for that matter--and download it.
Please note: The $5 registration fee for PWMake DOES NOT include the
electronic media disk nor on-line processing fee. This is an
optional method of delivery and method of payment you choose.
Why charge for these? Why indeed! Because not all SysOps will
need the source code mailed on a 3.5" disk, nor will some
wish to register on-line. Why charge those who don't want it?
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ SUPPORT ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
I would like to reassure those, who decide to register this program, that
all my programs are supported by me to the best of my ability. If you have
any problems with one of my programs, I will attempt to remedy them as quickly
as humanly possible.
Support for any of my programs (registered and unregistered alike) can be
obtained by contacting: 1) MegaComm(sm) BBS 540-829-Big1; 2) FidoNet NetMail;
3) by leaving me a "Comment" on MegaComm(sm) BBS; or 4) by Postal Mail.
Please see the end of this document for addresses and phone numbers.
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ INSTALLATION ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
I have made every attempt to make installation of all my programs as
painless as possible. Simply run the INSTALL program and answer ALL
the questions it asks. Once you've answered them the first time, you
can always go back an change ANYTHING or simple edit the config file.
That's it!
Wildcat SysOps - Most SysOp's running PWMake with Wildcat are using
it as a "WCCode Program". This will allow SysOps to
build on-line registration menu and password security for
protected database files. Please follow the instruction
in the Wildcat SysOp's Guide.
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ THE LOG FILE ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
PWMake will create a database of 999 passwords. When you refer to the User
Documentation, you will note the interaction between the PWord.DBF and the
PWUsed.DBF. The PWUsed.DBF is a historical record.
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ NOTES OF INTEREST ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
Using PWMake as a door DOES require a monitoring program for dropped carrier,
I recommend DoorWay to help convert this program into a fully functional
door that will detect com ports and exits back to the BBS.
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ UPDATE INFORMATION ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
The newest version of any of my programs can be obtained by calling
MegaComm(sm) BBS and downloading it, by FIDO "File Requesting" using the
magic name "PWMAKE" for this program), or by downloads from the Mustang
Software Sysop's BBS, CompuServe, Software Creations, EX-PC, and
other fine online services.
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ TECHNICAL SUPPORT ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
