Features include: - Built-in FOSSIL routines for easy to operate remote performance. - Full carrier-detection which returns to QuickBBS when carrier is dropped. - Automatic high-speed performance with locked ports at up to 38,400 baud. - Ability to work in multi-node setups. - Status line showing user name, baud and modem settings, and time remaining (registered versions only.) - User definable colors. - Full editing capabilities of nearly all fields in the USERS.BBS file. - Full menu editing capabilities including adding, deleting, renaming, and copying menus, plus direct editing of each line of the menu record. - Reasonably small file size: the program is only around 100K and runs in about 120K. This allows 1-Edit to run easily from Type 7 shells. 1-Edit Documentation Page 2 +---------------------------------------------+ | 1-EDIT: SHAREWARE & WARRANTY INFO | +---------------------------------------------+ Here comes the dull stuff... SHAREWARE INFO -------------- This program is released to the public as shareware. This means try the program and if you like it and continue to use it, you must register it within a reasonable amount of time. This program is not freeware nor public domain software; rather it is copyrighted material with all rights reserved. You are granted only a limited license to test this software to see if it meets your needs. You may copy 1-Edit and transfer it to others provided you follow these brief rules: 1- You may not change the program, its documentation, any ancillary programs or files included in the archive, or the archive itself, in any way without express written consent from me, the author. 2- You may not sell the program to others. This program may be distributed on pay systems, but not on a "fee per download" basis. 3- You may not distribute this product with any other products without express written consent from me. Registration of 1-Edit is a cheap 10 bucks and covers you for all future releases of the program. More information on registration is included later in this document. WARRANTY -------- No warranty of any kind, covering either hardware or software damage, is expressed nor implied. If you choose to use this program, you do so at your own risk. 1-Edit Documentation Page 3 +---------------------------------------------+ | FOSSILS, ANSI.SYS, and OTHER REQUIREMENTS | +---------------------------------------------+ There are a few things you should know before attempting to boot 1-Edit for the first time: Software Version ---------------- This version, 2.75, of 1-Edit is designed to work with QuickBBS v2.75. If you are, for some reason, still running an older version of QuickBBS (2.64-2.66), please use 1-Edit v1.01. FOSSIL Driver ------------- 1-Edit requires that a FOSSIL driver be installed and active at all times. This shouldn't prove to be much of a hindrance since 1-Edit was designed for remote use -- and QuickBBS also requires the FOSSIL be installed and active. If you are editing strictly from the local console, you'll probably find the new Menuedit and Useredit programs (included in the QBBS275U archive) to be faster and prettier to work with. 1-Edit has been tested under several versions of both the X00 and BNU drivers; either should work fine. However, if you are using either as a TSR (rather than as a standard "DEVICE="), you must make sure that the FOSSIL isn't being removed from memory when you shell or exit your BBS or mailer. ANSI Graphics ------------- 1-Edit requires all users of the program to have the ANSI.SYS driver installed -- both on the BBS side and on the remote side. This shouldn't be much of a problem as I figure 99.98% of all sysops do. If you're unfamiliar with ANSI.SYS and its installation, please refer to your DOS manual. ANSI.SYS is included with all versions of DOS. I've received a few messages from sysops who would prefer that the program *not* use ANSI graphics as they do their work from non-ANSI machines (like VT-220 terms on a VAX). Someday I hope to take care of this problem, making ANSI an option rather than a requirement. I'm using ANSI not so much for color as for cursor positioning and movement, and I haven't quite figured a way around the use of ANSI. 1-Edit Documentation Page 4 DORINFO1.DEF and LOCAL.DEF -------------------------- 1-Edit requires a DORINFO1.DEF file to be present when starting. First, some background on this file, then info on how to get around the necessity of having it available to 1-Edit when using the program locally. Anytime QuickBBS calls a child program (a door) via a Type 7 or Type 15 exit, it creates two files: a DORINFO1.DEF file and an EXITINFO.BBS. Both contain information about the user online at the time the door is started -- information like baud rate, com port, time remaining, security level. When you return to QuickBBS from the shell, both of these files are deleted automatically -- which is why you can never find them on your disk after running a door. 1-Edit uses only the DORINFO1.DEF file to get information about the user. Because the file is required, and because one won't always be available (such as when running 1-Edit outside of QuickBBS), I've made the program search for a second file called LOCAL.DEF. LOCAL.DEF is nothing but a copy of a DORINFO1.DEF which should stay in your QuickBBS system directory (usually C:\QBBS\). Just put it there and leave it there, and 1-Edit will always know where to find it when it's needed. A copy of a LOCAL.DEF file is included in the 1-Edit archive. You'll want to edit it to reflect your name and system name. Here's what one looks like with my comments in braces { }: --------------------------------------------------------- THE CREATIVE CONNECTION-SOUTHFIELD, MI-(313)559-9039 BOB {Sysop first name} RANSOM {Sysop last name} COM0 {Don't edit this! COM0 = Local} 0 Baud,N,8,1 {No need to edit this} 0 {This does nothing; just a zero} BOB {User's first name} RANSOM {User's last name} SOUTHFIELD, MI {No need to edit; not used} 1 {Graphics mode; no need to edit] 32000 {Security level} 235 {Time remaining} --------------------------------------------------------- Feel free to edit the LOCAL.DEF file to suit yourself. However, the COM port setting MUST remain as COM0 to indicate a local logon. Changing the security level, time remaining, etc., is up to you. After editing, place the file into your QuickBBS system directory and leave it there. 1-Edit Documentation Page 5 Locked COM Ports ---------------- Locked ports are supported automatically by 1-Edit. No need to use DORSPEED, SETSPEED, etc. 1-Edit has been successfully tested at up to 38,400 baud. Directories ----------- 1-Edit may be run from whatever directory you choose provided you have the environment QUICK set (i.e. "SET QUICK=C:\QBBS\". See your DOS manual for more details on setting and using environment variables.) If you DON'T set the QUICK variable, you MUST run 1-Edit from your main QuickBBS directory. When first started, 1-Edit looks for the above mentioned environment variable. If found, 1-Edit then looks there for your configuration files. If not found, 1-Edit assumes that the config files are in the current working directory. QUICKCFG.DAT is then read to check the location of your menu directory and USERS.BBS file. Onscreen messages will tell you what's going on, which path the program is choosing, etc. Okay, so now you've unarchived the program and put it somewhere on your harddrive, paying attention to the QUICK variable (if set, 1-Edit can go anywhere; if not, 1-Edit must be in your main QuickBBS directory). You've also put the LOCAL.DEF file into your main QuickBBS directory (regardless of what QUICK is set to, LOCAL.DEF belongs in the main directory.) Now you're almost ready to get started. 1-Edit Documentation Page 6 +---------------------------------------------+ | COMMAND LINE SYNTAX | +---------------------------------------------+ 1-Edit allows you to customize it somewhat via the command line. All of the following command line parameters are optional (and case is unimportant): -Nxxxxxx Tells 1-Edit to look in path xxxxxx for the DORINFO1.DEF, LOCAL.DEF, and QUICKCFG.DAT files. Example: "-Nc:\qbbs\line1" A trailing backslash is optional. -Uxxxxxx Tells 1-Edit to look in path xxxxxx for the USERS.BBS file. Example: "-Uc:\qbbs\users" A trailing backslash is optional. -Fxx Sets foreground color to xx. xx must be 0-7. Default color is cyan (#3). Example: -F6 -Hxx Sets the highlight color to xx. xx must be 0-15. Default highlight color is bright yellow (#14). Example: -H12 -Sxxxxx Sets the minimum security level for accessing the Drop To DOS feature to xxxxx. xxxxx must be 0-64000. Default is 32000. (More on this feature later.) Example: -S100 -J Turns on security "jumping." More on this later. ? Brings up a short help screen outlining these command line parameters. None of these parameters are required; use any, all, or none of them as you choose. Several of these are discussed in more detail later, so don't worry if you don't yet understand their uses. 1-Edit Documentation Page 7 +---------------------------------------------+ | GETTING STARTED | +---------------------------------------------+ With that boring stuff out of the way, we'll get on to the meat of the program. I won't bother taking you through each and every option of both editors -- most everything is self-explanatory so I'll just touch on some things and highlight the few oddities. Any sysop that has gotten QuickBBS up and running shouldn't have any problems. Setting Up 1-Edit Within QuickBBS --------------------------------- 1-Edit works both as a Type 7 or a Type 15 door. However, there's no need that I can see to ever run it as a Type 15. Even under very tight memory constraints, the Type 7 (used with QuickBBS's *M data line parameter) should work fine. By the way, the *M parameter causes QuickBBS to swap itself to EMS or disk during the Type 7 shell, leaving you with nearly all of your available DOS to run 1-Edit. Here's a sample of a Type 7 setup as it would look from within the new Menuedit: ------(this screen has been edited to fit the page)---- ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────── │ Editing Entry #: 20 │ 1 2 3 4 5 │123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567 │<^1^> ............ 1-Edit···························· │ │Optional Data: │1edit.exe *M································· │ │Menu Type....>7·· │Security.....>31000 │Key..........>1 │ForeGround...>3· │BackGround...>0· │A Flags......>-------- │B Flags......>-------- │C Flags......>-------- │D Flags......>-------- │ │ [F1] to Finish and Save Changes │ [ESC] To Abort Changes To This Entry │ [HOME]-Beginning of Line, [END]-End of Line, [INS]-T │ [F2]-Center Display Line, [F10]-Menu Type └────────String To Appear On Menu, ^String^ Makes String --------------------------------------------------------- 1-Edit Documentation Page 8 I think that gives you the basic idea of what it looks like. If you choose to use some of 1-Edit's command line options, the above data line might read: Optional Data: 1edit.exe -Nc:\qbbs\line*N -Uc:\qbbs\users\ -F7 -H15 *M Note that the above uses both the QuickBBS *N and *M parameters: *M to swap QuickBBS to EMS or disk; *N causes QuickBBS to put the current node number in place of the *N. See your QuickBBS docs for more info on these and other usable Type 7 parameters. Actual Startup -------------- When you first crank up 1-Edit, it will check to see that a FOSSIL is present. If not, the program aborts. From there it begins its search for QUICKCFG.DAT and DORINFO1.DEF, using LOCAL.DEF if necessary. Some values are initialized and you're told (on the local screen only) where it's taking the files from. Then an opening screen pops up. If the program is unregistered, the program will ring the bell a few times, then pause for 4 seconds to <ahem> encourage registration. After the pause you'll be prompted to "Press [ENTER] to continue:". Press Enter and you'll get the main menu. From the main menu you may choose to edit the user files, menu files, or drop to DOS. At this point, registered versions of 1-Edit will show a status line on the local console detailing who's online, baud and modem settings, and time remaining. Unregistered versions show only the line "Unregistered Evaluation Copy". A quick side note: Throughout most of the program, pressing [ENTER] or entering a question mark ("?") will redraw the screen. This is really only useful in times of high line noise but it's nice to have available when you need it. 1-Edit Documentation Page 9 +---------------------------------------------+ | THE MENU EDITOR | +---------------------------------------------+ Those of you familiar with Adam Hudson's original Menuedit program will feel right at home here. When you first choose the menu editor from the main menu, you'll be presented with a list of the menus in your QuickBBS menu directory. After displaying all of the menus you'll have the option of editing/adding a menu, renaming a menu, copying a menu, deleting a menu, or relisting the files. There's no need to explain most of these functions. One thing you might like to know is that any rename, delete, or copy operation can be stopped by pressing [ENTER] on a blank input field. Choose the <E> option and you'll be prompted for the menu name. If the menu isn't found, you'll be asked if you wish to create it. If the menu exists, or if you do want to create it, you'll be dropped into the actual menu editor. From here you can do a variety of things, all very similar to the old Menuedit. Rather than beat a dead horse trying to detail each and every function of this editor, you should just play with the thing for a while. Copy an existing menu to another menu file called TEST or FRED or something. Then hack away on the copied menu. You'll get the hang of it in no time. Oh, something you should know: When editing a field in either editor (menu or user), as soon as you punch [ENTER] the new value, if it's not blank, is written to disk. If it *is* blank, nothing is written and you exit the procedure. The immediate write to disk is done so that, should carrier drop unexpectedly, all of your changes are already stored. 1-Edit Documentation Page 10 +---------------------------------------------+ | THE USER EDITOR | +---------------------------------------------+ Most all of this section should be pretty easy to figure out. Press the plus (+) key to move the next user, or the minus (-) key to move to the previous user. When moving from user to user, if you hit the beginning or end of the USERS.BBS file, the program will "wrap around" to the next user. Example: You come to the last user in the file, say it's user #100, then press the plus key (+) one more time. The program will "wrap around" back to user #0 (the first user in the file). Pick and choose any fields you want to edit, press the bracketed key <>, and you can edit away. Should you start to edit a field, then decide against it, just press [ENTER] over a blank edit field and that field will remain unchanged. At the bottom of the screen you'll see a small window with choices to add a user, delete a user, find a user, etc. <Q>uit takes you back to the main menu. <O>ther clears this small window and replaces it with a second window of other editing options. To return to the first set of options, press <O> again. Mass Updates ------------ With 1-Edit, you have the ability to do two types of mass updating (changes made to every user in the file). You can do mass updates of a flag. For example, you could turn every user's B1 flag ON. You may also mass update everyone's "High Message Read" number. This is something you won't need often, if ever, but it's handy to have. The usual reason for changing everyone's High Message Read is after blowing up your message base through some botched operation, leaving you with no choice but to delete all the message files and start over again. Security "Jumping" (aka "the -J parameter") ------------------------------------------- By default, any user that has access to 1-Edit can edit *any* user record. (See below about editing your own record.) For some sysops, those with remote cosysops, this can sometimes cause a problem. You may wish to allow a user to edit *some* user records, but not all. That's 1-Edit Documentation Page 11 what the "-J" does. Add it to your 1-Edit command line and the program will conveniently skip any record in the USERS.BBS where the security level is greater than the user's own security level. For example, say your remote sysop has a security level of 100. With the "-J" on the command line, 1-Edit won't let him/her even see, much less edit, records where the security level is 101 or greater. Editing Your Own User Record ---------------------------- To put it simply, you can't do it. I hear about this "bug" all the time. People tell me how they went in and changed several fields in their own record, only to exit 1-Edit and QuickBBS and find that the changes mysteriously disappeared. The reason is pretty simple and goes all the way back to the very first versions of QuickBBS. Here's what happens: When a user logs onto QuickBBS, his or her user record is read into memory. Any changes that QuickBBS would make to that record are held in memory (but not written to disk) until the user logs off. At logoff, the user's record is completely rewritten by QuickBBS with the new data. If, during the user's online session, the user changes his/her own record, those changes are written to disk by 1-Edit -- but those changes are completely overwritten again by QuickBBS at logoff. The simplest way around this is to logon using another name (maybe create a user account called "Test User" or somesuch), edit your "real" user record, then log off. Or wait to make changes to your record until you can do so by running a user editor directly from DOS. 1-Edit Documentation Page 12 +---------------------------------------------+ | DROP TO DOS FEATURE | +---------------------------------------------+ Please read this section carefully! Dropping to DOS through 1-Edit can be handy at times but can also lock your computer up if you don't pay attention to what you're doing. Before attempting to use this feature, double check that the DOS environment variable COMSPEC is set properly. To check this, type SET at a DOS prompt. Your environment will be displayed for you. You should see "COMSPEC=" and the drive/path to your COMMAND.COM file. If this *isn't* set properly, please consult your DOS manual. When displaying the main menu, 1-Edit checks the user's security level (as set in DORINFO1.DEF) against the security level set on the command line (or the default value, 32000). If the user's level equals or exceeds that level, the Drop to DOS function appears on the main menu. If the user's level is *less* than the specified level, the option doesn't appear and won't function. This allows you to have cosysops helping you edit your user and menu records without actually allowing them to enter DOS. Drop to DOS works two different ways, depending on whether you're using the program locally or remotely. Local Drop to DOS ----------------- When in local mode, the Drop to DOS is just a very simple shell. You hit "D" and you get the familiar flashing cursor. (What actually happens is a second copy of COMMAND.COM is loaded.) You may run whatever you need to run from here. When you're ready to return to 1-Edit, just type EXIT and press [ENTER]. Remote Drop to DOS ------------------ Things get a little more complicated when dropping to DOS remotely. First, when you do drop to DOS, 1-Edit goes on hold. It no longer monitors carrier, it doesn't feed screen displays to the modem or read incoming data from the modem, nor does the user inactivity timeout function work. This is exactly the same as when you shell out from QuickBBS via a Type 7 or 15 menu option -- all BBS functions stop cold. Whatever you run here *must* be able 1-Edit Documentation Page 13 to send info through the modem, read incoming data from the modem, and check carrier. QuickBBS won't do it for you after executing a Type 7 or 15 menu option, and 1-Edit won't do it for you when you <D>rop to DOS. When you do execute the Drop to DOS remotely, you'll be prompted for a filename to execute. Leave this field blank and you'll be returned to 1-Edit. If you do execute a program or batch file, you MUST INCLUDE THE FILE EXTENSION WITH THE FILENAME (i.e. ".EXE", ".COM", ".BAT"). You may also include as many command line parameters as will fit into the field. The parameters will be passed on to the child program. When you exit the child program, you'll be returned to 1-Edit automatically. A sample batch file called DOSSHELL.BAT is included in the 1-Edit archive for you to look over. It details how you can set up a true "drop to DOS" from 1-Edit using CTTY.COM or Gateway. THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE A READY-TO-RUN BATCH FILE! Use it only as a guide. If you do decide to try it out, be sure to pass your baud rate to DOSSHELL.BAT on the command line as: DOSSHELL.BAT 2400 (or whatever baud rate you're using.) You should read and test this batch file carefully before relying on it!!! I can't stress that enough. Also, you should add to it some sort of carrier detect TSR, like WATCHCD, before using it. WATCHCD (and the related BOOT.COM) are available in all versions of the X00 FOSSIL driver. Better yet, get a copy of DOORWAY, a great program that lets you run nearly anything as a door with complete carrier detection. It's shareware and registration is pretty cheap. 1-Edit Documentation Page 14 +---------------------------------------------+ | USING 1-Edit ON MULTI-NODE SETUPS | +---------------------------------------------+ Typically when running a multi-node QuickBBS set up, you will have your directories set similar to this: C:\QBBS\ = Main System Directory. Your QUICK environment variable points here. C:\QBBS\NODEx\ = Separate directories for each node that you run, where "x" equals the node number. Your actual directory names may be different though many people seem to follow this example as outlined in the QuickBBS docs. Under single node setups, your config files (QUICKCFG.DAT et al) live in the System directory. This is also where QuickBBS puts the DORINFO1.DEF file when executing a Type 7 or Type 15 menu option. Under multi-node setups, the config files live in each line directory, and the DORINFO1.DEF is placed in the proper line directory, too. Under these situations, you'll need the following parameters to help 1-Edit figure out what is going on and where to look for files: The -N Parameter ---------------- When 1-Edit detects the -N parameter on the command line, it will search the directory specified after the -N for both the DORINFO1.DEF file and the QUICKCFG.DAT file. If the files are found, they will be used. If either file is not found in the specified directory, 1-Edit will fall back and attempt to locate the files in the main System directory. In the case of the QUICKCFG.DAT file being missing from both the specified -N parameter directory *and* from the System directory (pretty much impossible if your system actually works), the program will abort. If the DORINFO1.DEF file isn't found in the -N specified directory nor in the System directory, 1-Edit will search the System directory for the LOCAL.DEF file. There's no need to put a copy of LOCAL.DEF into each line directory; one copy in the System directory is all that's needed. 1-Edit Documentation Page 15 Here's an example of the -N parameter in use: 1EDIT.EXE -Nc:\qbbs\node1 - or - 1EDIT.EXE -Nc:\qbbs\node*N A trailing backslash is optional. Note the "*N" in the second example. This utilizes a feature of QuickBBS (mentioned earlier) where QuickBBS will substitute the node number for the "*N" when executing a Type 7 or Type 15 shell. The -U Parameter ---------------- This tells 1-Edit to get the USERS.BBS from the directory specified after the -U. Example: 1EDIT.EXE -Uc:\qbbs\users\ As before, a trailing backslash is optional. This is probably not going to be the most used parameter as most folks maintain only a single user file. But just in case, it's here... One thing to note about this parameter's use: If 1-Edit can't find the USERS.BBS file in the specified directory, the program won't search elsewhere for it. It will simply abort with an error code. 1-Edit Documentation Page 16 +---------------------------------------------+ | REGISTERING 1-EDIT | +---------------------------------------------+ Keys ---- 1-Edit uses a "keyed" registration system similar to that used by QuickBBS. The information contained in your QUICKCFG.DAT file under Sysop Name and BBS Name are used to create your key. Unregistered versions of the program (programs running without the key) ring the bell and have a 4 second pause built into the beginning of the program. Also, the status line is disabled. Registered versions of the program kill the beeping and 4 second pause and enable the status line. Registered versions also show the sysop name and system name on the title screen when 1-Edit is started. These are the ONLY differences between registered and unregistered. There are no built-in self-destruct mechanisms or anything like that. When you register 1-Edit, you will receive a small key file that will disable the ringing and pause, and enable the status line. If you're a member of Fidonet, your key file will be delivered by netmail file attach. If you're not in Fidonet, your key will be delivered on disk by regular mail. I've found Fidonet delivery to be faster, cheaper, and easier, regardless of where you are in the world, so I attempt to use that method whenever possible. Installing Keys --------------- When you receive your keyfile, it may come to you named something like LASTNAME.KEY (where LASTNAME is your lastname). If so, please rename it to 1EDIT.KEY, and place it into your main QuickBBS System directory. Be very careful with the filename of this key: It must be called 1EDIT.KEY (and NOT 1-EDIT.KEY). Leave this key in place for as long as you use 1-Edit. It will be good for all future versions of the program. Or, if for some reason I change the key encryption in a future version, I'll send you a new key before releasing the new version. F.Y.I.: There's no difference between the keys for the QuickBBS version of this program and the RemoteAccess version (1-Edit-RA) except the filename. If you are switching to QuickBBS from RA and have a valid key for 1-Edit-RA, just rename the key to 1EDIT.KEY. 1-Edit Documentation Page 17 Registering ----------- A form is included in the program archive. Please complete the form and mail it along with your check or money order for $10.00 (U.S. funds only) to the address on the form. Your key will be sent to you within a few days of receipt. Please be VERY careful when completing the registration form that your Sysop Name and BBS Name are EXACTLY as they appear in your QuickBBS configuration. 1-Edit Documentation Page 18 +---------------------------------------------+ | THE END | +---------------------------------------------+ Okay, I guess that covers it.
