3.0 Setup
After unpacking Guest List into its own directory you can then
run the setup part of the program. Typing GUESTS by itself will
put Guest List into the setup mode. From the main menu you have
the following configuration options:
GENERAL INFORMATION
Include Local Logons There are three options:
YES - Include local logins.
NO - Don't include local logins.
ONLY - List local logins ONLY.
Pause at End of Bulletin If Guest List is used to create a HELLO
bulletin, then you may want to have a PAUSE
inserted at the end. This will give the
reader a chance to see the bulletin before
the next screen erases the page.
FULL Path to ACTIVITY.LOG Tells Guest List where to get its data from.
FULL Path for Output BULLETIN Tells Guest List where to put its data.
Number of Callers Supports from 1-90 callers.
EXCLUDE USER NAMES A total of 15 users may be excluded
from the bulletins output.
EXCLUDE SECURITY LEVELS A total of 15 security profiles may
excluded from output bulletin.
LOAD CONFIGURATION Use to load/edit saved setup files.
SAVE CONFIGURATION
File Name One you have completed your setup you
then save it here. When entering a
filename you can only enter the first
8 characters. The extension of .CFG
is appended on for the save.
Title Bar This is what you want the name/title
to be at the top of the bulletin.
The title can be up to 55 characters.
PROGRAM INFORMATION
Sysop Sysops name goes here.
BBS The BBS name goes here.
Registration # The registration key goes here.
Date Registered This will display one of two possible
bits of information. If the program
is not registered then the number of
days run without a key will be listed.
If the program is registered, then the
registration date will be listed.
EXIT Leave the setup program.
Once the configuration file is saved, Guest List can then be ran
to create the bulletin. To run Guest List simply type 'guests'
followed by the name of the configuration file that is to be
used. EXAMPLE: guests node1.cfg. The most common place to
run Guest List from is the POSTCALL.BAT/POSTCALL.RUN file.
4.0 Technical Notes & Ideas
o Guest List DOES NOT do any file locking/sharing.
o If there are no more than 16 security levels, then a security
specific bulletin can be created by excluding all other levels.
This can be used to create new user or visiting sysop only
bulletins.
o Guest List is written using Borland's Turbo C++ v3.0.
o Do not manually edit the INI and CFG files. If the wrong
type of editor is used, then the files will become corrupted.
o Guest List requires 67k to run. The Windows .PIF file is
set to 100k.
