MWExport v3.0 - Makewild Export - A Sysop utility for Wildcat BBS systems
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Operation
MWExport is a potentially valuable tool for the Wildcat! 3 sysop. It will
create a text file with all of your Makewild settings that can be printed,
shared, viewed off-line, marked on, and checked for inconsistancies. You
can look at two security profiles side by side to insure they are set up
properly. You can print out a list of your file areas to work on the area
names to make them more consistent. There are a number of good uses for
this utility.
To get started, just type:
MWEXPORT
This will execute the program in it's simplest format sending all of the
settings to the file MAKEWILD.RPT. This also creates the largest text file.
I have a two node system with 20 security profiles, 60 conferences, and 50
file areas and the text file MWExport creates for my system is 156K.
There are, however, three command line switches that simplify the output.
/?
Sends a help screen briefly explaining the options described here.
/I[options]
MWExport will create a report that includes only the portions specified
with [options]. These will be described in detail later. Use the /I with
the desired options with no spaces between them.
/X[options]
MWExport will create a report that excludes only the portions specified
with [options]. These will be described in detail later. Use the /X with
the desired options with no spaces between them.

Acknowledgements
MWExport was written in Turbo Pascal v6.0 from Borland International with
additional help from Turbo Power Software in Scotts Valley, CA in the use of
their outstanding Object Professional library for Turbo Pascal. And of
course, none of this would have been possible (or necessary) without Mustang
Software and their excellent bulletin board program - Wildcat!.
Thank you!
