Hi everyone. How's life ?
Ok, here we go again, with one little, simple, Quickbbs 2.75 utility !
How about something that will take care of your NEWUSER.ASW questionnaire
answer file (or whatever you call it) and will purge users that are no longer
in your USERS.BBS ? Impossible you say, nobody has the same .Q-A file...
Well, read on !
This treasure of a program is, as always, completely free. It does not
requier any kind of registration. You cannot however modify in any way the
original archive or files. If you do, a spell will be cast upon you, that will
alter the behavior of the McFee's virus scanner. As a result, it will no
longer search for 681 viruses, but instead will toss every one of them into
your system... Say, you wouln't what that, wouln't you ? (It's a joke !)
I do not offer any kind of warranty. If you ever decide to use QANU,
well, you do it on your own. If it breaks anything, you can keep the broken
parts. If that makes you feel any better, I've been using it for the past 15
minutes without any damage to my NEWUSER.ASW file. :-)

As a fellow SysOp, I know that a short and sweet documentation is
necessary to our mental health. Again, a recent scientific study has shown
that 9 out of 10 SysOp try to use a program without reading the docs... Please
read on, it's for your own good !
Simply run QANU.EXE with no command line parameters to know how it works.
You must run it from your Quickbbs directory, the one with your USERS.BBS.
Give QANU the name of your NEWUSER.ASW file, and here it goes. QANU will check
every entry in your .ASW file against the name of your users in USERS.BBS, and
will purge those who aren't in it.
*** IMPORTANT ***
What QANU does in fact, is checking for the string '** ' put before the
user name, and purges everything up to the next '** ' if the users name isn't
found in the USERS.BBS. So for the program to work, you :
- MUST have a <PostInfo> command in your NEWUSER.Q-A at the beginning of
each user record. That puts the line '** Remy Gendron answered on the ...' in
the record.
- MUST NOT have any lines in the user record that starts with '** ',
except for the first one.
And don't worry ! If you have something before the users' records, it
will be left there... it won't be purged !
