RA2FD v1.00
by Jerry Cain
Jul 14, 1992
WHAT IT IS:
RA2FD will read RA's LASTCALL.BBS file after a caller logs off and insert
the user's name and city into Front Door's LASTCALL.FD activity file. It
will also insert the user's time as found within the LASTCALL.BBS as well
as the current system date. In addition to this information, it inserts
your net/node number. All this information will be displayed in the FROM:
field when FD reloads.
WHY I WROTE IT:
I like being able to see who the last caller on BBS was without having to
load up the BBS.
LICENSE:
The user of RA2FD is licensed to use it on any machine or any number of
machines for whatever purpose the user sees fit. RA2FD is not commercial,
not shareware, and not even Public Domain. It simply costs you nothing to
use. I retain all rights to the program. However, I am not responsible
for any problems your computer system encounters, either directly or
indirectly, as a result of using RA2FD.
HOW TO USE IT:
Place RA2FD in your RA directory and insert the following as the last line
in your EXEBBS.BAT, just before calling FRODO.BAT:
RA2FD -R<path\lastcall.bbs> -F<path\lastcall.fd> -A<zone:net/node.point>
where: -R is RA's LASTCALL.BBS file
-F is Front Door's LASTCALL.FD file
-A is your Network address (POINT optional)
(Note: the order of these parameters is unimportant)
LIMITATIONS:
Make sure to set the environment variable TZ for your timezone so RA2FD
can accurately calculate your local time if using the -S switch.
RA's structure for LASTCALL.BBS doesn't have a *date* field (although it
does have a *time* field), so I had to grab the system date. In most cases
this will never present a problem. However, on a rare occasion, you may
have a situation in which a date other than the actual logoff date is
displayed (has something to do with the first caller of the day hanging up
without logging on, blah, blah, blah). This is not a bug in RA2FD (I write
bugless code <g>). It's RA's fault for not including a date field in its
LASTCALL.BBS. At any rate, no damage will be done, you'll simply have the
wrong date.
WARRANTY:
None! Use it at your own risk.
SUPPORT:
Programs as simple as this one generally require no support. Even so, as
time permits, I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. You can

DONATIONS/GIFTS:
Gladly accepted! RA2FD is NOT shareware so NO money is expected. Feel
free to use the program any way you choose. However, if you would like to
donate to my INEEDTOPAYFORSOMEOFTHISSHAREWARESTUFFIAMUSING fund, I will
gladly accept a gift of any amount.
REQUESTS:

Have fun and enjoy!!
