BozBBS version 0.8 (PRELIMINARY RELEASE) Copyright (C) 1988 Bruce Bostwick
SYSOP DOCUMENTATION -- PART 1. BozBBS UTILITIES
The files included in this library are the necessary items of a
minimum BozBBS system. This system is driven from the ZCPR3
command line and, as is, will work when used as a set of
remote-system commands. These files are needed:
LOGIN.COM -- the master login utility; screens users according
to entries in the file BBSUSERS.DAT and enters the
current user into the file CURUSER.DAT for use by
other utilities that need user data
POST.COM -- the message base utility; users can enter messages
or comments and read public messages. Handles
username and access level automatically through
CURUSER.DAT info.
PASSWD.COM -- the user data editor; users can change name and
password in BBSUSERS.DAT for next call. Reads the
wheel byte -- if you don't have ZCPR3, send for
the source and modify to read duser.access.
EDUSER.COM -- the sysop data editor; only usable if wheel is
set. Edits all user data including user number,
access, and validation status.
ADDUSER.COM -- a modification of EDUSER.COM that allows sysop to
add users quickly. EDUSER and ADDUSER both read
the wheel byte -- modify to read duser.access from
CURUSER.DAT if you are using plain CP/M.
USRLIST.COM -- the user list program; shows all user info to
sysop, name and user # to mortals. Reads wheel.
BBSUSERS.DAT - the user database; MUST be on the directory for
LOGIN to work! Create it with ADDUSER.COM.
BBSMSGS.DAT -- the message database; POST.COM creates it if lost.
CURUSER.DAT -- the current-user file; created by LOGIN.COM on
login. Erase it during logout to keep the drive
tidy.
The user data files use the following Turbo Pascal record structure:
type user=record
refnum:integer;
firstname,lastname,password:string[32];
access:integer;
validated:boolean;
end;
The files are declared as 'file of user'. CURUSER.DAT contains
one record of type user and BBSUSERS.DAT contains a variable
number of records of type user depending on how many users are
registered.

Donations are not absolutely necessary but will be greatly
appreciated. Registering will enable me to provide sysop support
for BozBBS and provide you with upgrades as these programs are
improved. OM.
