│░░░░ SetFlags - A QuickBBS Utility ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│
╘═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
SetFlags - Version 1.0
By: William L. Munson
This is another fine utility from:
The Munchkin's Node BBS
( 315 ) 524-4032
300 - 2400 baud on-line 24 hours/day
Net/Node 1:260/238

╘═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
Have you ever needed to change more than one of a users flags? Or
several flags for every user? Tired of running SetFlag (tm) over and over
to change several flags?
Well, this utility is just what you are looking for!!!
SetFlags will allow you set set any or all of a user's flags with
only one pass. You can also set multiple flags for all users with one
pass.

│░░░░ OPERATION ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│
╘═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
SetFlags is very simple to use. All operations are command line
driven. To use this program just run it from the directory where you keep
your QuickBBS files. You may use SetFlags as part of a batch file.
The syntax for SetFlags is as follows:
SETFLAGS Mode FlagToken [FlagToken] [FlagToken] [FlagToken]
Items within the square brackets [] are optional.
Mode - Must be one of the following.
EXIT - This is used to change the flags of a user who has
exited the BBS with a type 15 exit. ( Type 7 will
not work as the EXITINFO.BBS is not reread when the
BBS starts back up. )
AFTER - This is used to change the flags of the last user
to log off the BBS.
ALL - This is used to change the flags of ALL users on
your BBS.
FlagToken - The flag token is the same format as is used in the
QBBS user editor. The token consists of a flag letter
A - D followed by 8 action identifier symbols.
The following are the valid symbols.
X = Set this flag to ON.
- = Set this flag to OFF.
? = Do not set this flag.
E.g. - SETFLAGS AFTER AX--X???? B----???? C??????-- D--------

╘═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
I cannot be held responsible for any damages caused by this or any
other product of mine. I have tested this product on my system for
several months with no adverse reactions.
In the AFTER and ALL modes, this program alters the USERS.BBS file.
SetFlags will create a file called USERS.TMP and write the modified user
information into that file and then, only on a successful operation,
delete the old USERS.BBS and rename USERS.TMP to USERS.BBS. This should
prevent a power outage from corrupting your USERS.BBS file.
