DISCLAIMER
==========
Ok, here is the nasty stuff that you have probably read about a hundred
thousand times. This program is guaranteed to do absolutely nothing except
reside on your system. I will not be responsible for any damage caused by
it, but will be glad to hear of it so that I may prevent further
occurances! I am in no way responsible or liable for anything that any
version of this program does (at least bad stuff... I will take the
encouragement!)

WHAT DOES CheckSec DO?
==== ==== ======== ===
CheckSec is a program I wrote that will, upon command, search your
USERS.BBS file for any user with a security level greater than or equal to
the one you specify, and set any combination of flags either on or off
individually if it is required for that particular user. This is handy if
you are having problems with new user flags, flag changes by callback
verification programs, etc.
By the way, this program works with RemoteAccess OR QuickBBS!
HOW DO I RUN CheckSec?
=== == = === =========
CheckSec uses a simple command line interface for maximum flexibility
without the hassle of more than one control file. The basic command line
syntax is:
CHECKSEC <Path to USERS.BBS> <Minimum Security> <Flag Changes>...
The <Path to USERS.BBS> field is self-explanatory. It is just the path
(WITHOUT the filename) to your USERS.BBS file. This path does not require a
trailing backslash, and will work if one is present or if it is not.
The <Minimum Security> field tells CheckSec what the minimum security level
to check for flag changes is. Thus, if you placed a '10' in this field,
all users will security levels 10 AND UP would be scanned.
The <Flag Changes> field is what the program is all about. It tells
CheckSec what flags to scan for and change if necessary. This may be in
either or both of the following formats:
Format One : <Flag Set> <Flag Number> < + | - >
Examples are: A6- B4+ C3+ D5-
The first character tells which flag set to check (A, B, C, or D), the next
character tells what flag number (1-8) to check in that set, and the third and
final character tells whether to turn it on or off (+ or -).
Format Two : <Flag Set> 8 x < + | - | . >
Examples are: A-X.X-X.- BX-X-.X-X CX-.X-X.- D--.X-X..
The first character tells which flag set to check (A, B, C, or D), and each
of the following eight characters tells whether to leave that flag alone
('-'), turn it ON ('X'), or turn it OFF ('.').
As I said before, the program can handle either or both flag change formats
at the same time.
WHY SHOULD I REGISTER?
=== ====== = =========
First of all, by registering, you are promoting the use of shareware
overall, allowing you to 'try before you buy'. Secondly, you get the warm
feeling that you know you are not breaking the law! Thirdly, the program
will operate at maximum speed (somewhere around Warp 3 I think) instead of
in slow mode.
Please register.
