0. REVISION LIST
======================================================================
VERSION: Release Date: Comments:
------- ------------ --------------------------------------
1.00 January 16, 1989 Initial release.
1.10 March 16, 1989 Traps for today only, revised signon,
various minor adjustments.
3.00 June 22, 1990 (Yes it is a big jump <grin>. Version
2.x was never released.)
Total rewrite. More information is
shown and SHOWUSER is now independent of
any associated programs (you don't need
to run anything else to make it work as
you did with version 1.x). Also this
version introduces a port to a new
compiler (Turbo C++).
3.10 April 3, 1991 Deleted users are no longer named.
Instead the message "All records for
this user have been PURGED!" is
displayed. The /C parameter was added.

1. COPYRIGHT
======================================================================
SHOWUSER is not placed in the Public Domain. The copyright is retained
and the software is provided on licence:
You are free to use and make as many copies of these programs as you
wish. You may also give them away to anyone who wants it, provided:
1. No fee is charged.
2. This archive is distributed intact.
3. You register the package with an OzNet registration centre.
======================================================================
2. REGISTRATION
======================================================================
A new registration scheme now applies to all OZNET software.
Regardless of any previous registration, this program now requires
individual installation for each BBS using it.
There is still NO fee involved at all. DO NOT send any money!
Registration simply involves obtaining from me a CRC code which
matches your BBS name. You may do this at any of the OZNET
registration centres:
Kangaroo Korner 302/001 Stephen de Plater
The Black Hole 302/003 Ken Thompson
Control Systems 071/001 Ed Cavender
Gidget's Domain 081/005 Jack Hazel
Fuzzy Logic 050/018 Phill Piddell
Geno's Place 044/003 Gene Newcomb
InfoStation 032/001 Perry Alexander
If you are in the GTPN nodelist then you will be able to register
direct online at any of those centres or via mail in the correct form
to OZRobot at any of those centres. See the included OZRobot document
for details. If you are not in the GTPN net you will need to apply
via private netmail or message to Sysop at any of the centres.
Whatever way you do it you will need to supply the full (case
sensitive) name to which you want the program registered.

You will also need to obtain the OZINSTAL program which performs the
actual installation. OZINSTAL is not included in this archive. You
should look for OZINST11.ZIP.
======================================================================
3. PURPOSE
======================================================================
(Or what does this thing do anyway?)
SHOWUSER is a simple door which displays the logons for a specified
period. It is designed to show who has logged on and when during any
one day.
======================================================================
4. USAGE
======================================================================
To use SHOWUSER simply create a door which runs the program. The user
will then be presented with the complete list of logons for the day.
The date, time and username are shown for each logon.
A sample batch file for the door is shown below:
--------------------------------------------------------------
@echo off
gtdrwy
doorway SYS /W: /K:0 /B:MS /A:ON /T:^C^K^P /S:e:\bbs
/O: /P:e:\bbs\showuser.exe
--------------------------------------------------------------
======================================================================
5. COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS
======================================================================
For most users this program requires no command line parameters. In
general the defaults are completely adequate (which is the way I use
it at Kangaroo Korner). However, for those who need to, there are
three command line parameters which can be adjusted.

SHOWUSER: v3.10 by Stephen de Plater
April 3, 1991 GT Network 302/1
1. /M Force ANSI graphics OFF, no matter whether the user has them
selected or not. The default is to let users who have
selected ANSI graphics see the display in color and boxed
with IBM graphics characters. If ANSI is not selected by
the user (or if this command line switch is selected by the
Sysop) the display will be in monochrome and only pure ASCII
characters will be used for the boxes.
2. /C The opposite of /M. Forces ANSI graphics ON, no matter
what.
3. /Lnn Log scan amount in Kbytes (default 20). SHOWUSER scans the
end of the log for details of what has happened today. If
your system is EXTREMELY busy you might need to make this
amount larger. Alternatively if your system is very quiet
then you might get away with reducing the amount somewhat.
If you reduce the amount too much then some calls will be
missed because you won't go back far enough in the log to
get to the beginning of the day. The 20k default value has
proved more than adequate for the busiest systems in
Australia. In any case, no matter how far you go back, only
calls which have occurred today will be shown. And of
course, the further you go back, the longer it will take to
scan the log.
4. /G Specify an alternate GTPATH. Most users will not need this
one. It can be useful for systems running multiple nodes on
a single machine under a multitasker. If used, an alternate
GTPATH follows the /G with no spaces (eg: /Gc:\altpath).
======================================================================
6. COLORS
======================================================================
SHOWUSER will use the colors which GT is using.

7. DISCLAIMER
======================================================================
Q: What kind of guarantee comes with this software?
A: *** ABSOLUTELY NONE!!! ***
If you break it you get to keep both pieces!
I take no responsibility at all for what this software may do on any
computer other than my own. If you use it you do so at your own risk.
All that I am prepared to say about it is that it works fine here (and
I can see no good reason why it should not also work fine everywhere
else also -- but ....)
By using this program you accept these conditions.
======================================================================
8. ENJOY!
======================================================================
At least, I hope you do!
