RAP-EDIT is a sysop utility that allows you to edit the userfiles
associated with the RemoteAccess Pub. You can edit *ALL* of this data:
this is a somewhat powerful program in that respect so care should be
taken that you don't fry your files. The only dummy-proofing that
exists is as follows:
Handles are saved back in Capitalized format.
User names are saved back in ALLCAPS format.
You are prompted to confirm a record DELete.
That's about it. Otherwise, it's a pretty straightforward user
interface. The following keys will work:
PGUP, PGDN, HOME, and END allow you to move through the file from record
#1 to record #300. The CURSOR keys allow you to move from field to
field within each record (there are 20 fields). Once you've selected
the piece of information you wish to edit, press ENTER. You are now in
EDIT MODE and can edit the information in that field. Standard editing
keys and rules apply, but pressing ESCape will abort the changes.
Once you hit ENTER, your work is saved immediately to disk.
Pressing DEL on any record (outside of EDIT MODE) will activate user
DELETION. You will be asked to confirm whether or not you really,
really wanna do that. Selecting "y" will delete the user, any other key
will abort the deletion.
Pressing ESC will quit RAP-EDIT.
Multi-line operation: I've not done EXTENSIVE testing but RAP-EDIT
should work just fine even if users are online and accessing the RAP
files. Be aware, though, that editing the user record of any user that
is CURRENTLY ONLINE is rather pointless: when that user logs off, RAP
will re-save their record based on what RAP has in memory, which will
overwrite any changes you make.
Oh, and by the way... you have to run RAPEDIT.EXE while in the RAP
subdirectory. It assumes all the workfiles are in the current
directory...
