LW Remote User Editor v0.9
<c> 1992,1993 by Bob DaCastello
(For RA 2.00 ONLY)
Welcome to LWUSER!
Sysop Documentation
Introduction:
Ok, since the release of RemoteAccess 2.00g1 everyone has been crying for
remote Menu and User Editors, well, here they are! Sorry it took so long,
but I wanted to be sure they were the best you could get!
LWUSER will allow you to edit any existing users add users or delete
existing users (they will not be removed from the databases until RAUSER
actually deletes them, see the RA docs). The full 135 characters
in the comment field is utilized and available to you. Date and time
fields have the - and : automatically inserted for you. If you choose the
USA phone number format in the control file, phone numbers will
automatically be formated as (805)264-0443. Documentation is a little
skimpy because it is not really needed. Follow the prompts.
Hardware requirements:
RemoteAccess 2.00 of course! :{) LWUSER will NOT work on versions of
RA prior to RA 2.00.
Any IBM machine with DOS 3.1 or better should work just fine. Color
monitor prefered but not required. Fossil driver such as BNU or X00.sys
is also highly recommended. (Since RA requires a fossil driver, this is
not a problem huh??
LWUSER has been tested using DOS 3.3, DOS 5.0, DOS 6.0, Lantastic, Novel,
DV, QEMM, on machines ranging from XT's to 486's.
About 140k of memory is required.
An ANSI driver is required for proper operation. Color is not needed
on the local end.
Upgrading:
This is the first public release, so there is no need for upgrading,
I doubt there will be for future releases either.
Legalities:
This software and accompanying materials are distributed "as is"
without warranty, express, implied or statutory, including but not
limited to any implied warranties of merchantability and fitness
for a particular purpose. In no event shall anyone involved with
the creation and production of this product be liable for indirect,
special, or consequential damages, arising out of any use thereof
or breach of any warranty. In addition, by placing this software
upon your BBS system for use by any other person(s) or entities,
you have agreed to register this program within 30 days of
installation.
Distribution:
You may make this file available for downloading from your BBS or you may
upload it to any BBS of your choice, provided that you do not make any
changes to the contents of the archive. The archive and its individual
contents may not be used by any service that charges any money whatsoever,
without the written permission of the author.
Files included:
LWUSER.EXE Main program
LWUSER.DOC What your reading now
LWUSER.CTL Control file, please edit as needed
LW_REG.FRM Registration form for ALL LlanoWare Doors
FILE_ID.DIZ Well, you need to know what the file is, right?
Installation:
Installation is fairly easy and straight-forward. The following steps and
examples should have you up and running in a very short period of time.
It is assumed that you are familiar with setting up DOORS on your system.
To this end, only an example of the control file is described.
1) Place a copy of LWUSER.EXE and a copy of LWUSER.CTL anywhere
you wish, but they MUST reside in the same directory together.
2) Edit the LWUSER.CTL file to reflect your name, your BBS name,
your registration numbers (if registered), unremark the USA
if you want forced USA format phone numbers, unremark the MONO
if the local monitor is a mono monitor. ANSI is still required!
Running LWUSER:
Install LWUSER as a type 7 exit with an optional data line of:
C:\PATH\LWUSER.EXE
Insert the correct pathname to find LWUSER. *M (memory
swapping) should not be unless you are running RA in an environment
that has less than 460k available. No other optional data is
required.
To run LWUSER locally, type in C:\PATH\LWUSER /L. If LWUSER is in your
path, just type in LWUSER /L. LWUSER will be able to find it's
control file as long as it is in the same directory as LWUSER.EXE
From there the prompts should take you through everything you need.
Please refer to your RA SysOp's manual for more information on
editing users. When Inserting a new user, most defaults are taken
from your RA New User configuration.
Registration benefits:
First and foremost, knowing that you have supported the author so he can
continue his work! Besides that, the nagging "Unregistered" message goes
away! Once registered, other nice things may be available too. :{)
