-
- This is a Beta Test Copy of the BEST Software that ever hit the
- market for TriTel :>. Please Use it wisely. I will not be held
- responsible for its misuse and damage resulting therefrom.
-
- As this Utility DIRECTLY modifies your Users.dat file, I
- Recommend that you BACK UP the USERS.DAT File (or Set the Flag in
- the Config. File <<See Below>>

- Registration Info
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Ho-Hum. Here it Comes. Another pitch from another desperate, broke
- Shareware author. Well, listen up 'cuz with regsitration ya get
- LOTSA goodies. The version being distributed is <<UNFORTUNATELY>>
- Crippled a bit. When you register, you will get the following
- additions:
-
- 1)Ability to Change Default Protocol
- 2)Ability to Change Default Editor
- 3)Code Written SPECIFICALLY for a Door <<See Below>>
- 4)Optional File Ratio Checking } During
- 5)Optional Post/Call Ratio Checking } Editing
- 6)User Specific AnSi/Ascii File Ratio Warning Screen Generation
- 7)User Specific AnSi/Ascii Post/Call Ratio Warning Screen Generation
-
- Since this Utility has taken me approxamately three months to
- conceive (Pardon the pun), Code and Debug, then redebug (Sorry to
- show off there :)) I think a registration fee of $20.00 U.S.
- Currency ONLY is a perfect amount. If you pay $35.00, then you will
- receive the new version on DISK Delivered to your door. Each
- Update you will also receive on disk. However, if you only want
- the Disk (1 ONLY) then the Charge is $5.00 (in addition to the
- $20.00 Registration.)
-
- If you Register, you will also et my undying grattitiude.
- <<WOW, you say???>> Well, I thank, in advance whomever reg's this
- 'Ware.

- Instructions On Use
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- TriEdit is a Utility that I have thought about writing, but never
- really knew how to do it, until I got really experienced in QuickBASIC
- 4.5. It was then very easy to CONCEIVE the Util. But still HELL to write
- it. Ok, 'nuff sed. Now, to Run this program, you will need:
-
- IBM/Compatable PC/AT/XT/386/486/586/RISC CPU
- 256K Available RAM (Desqview Window of 180k + 50k Extended
- Support)
- COLOR Monitor (otherwise I Coded all those colors for NOTHING!!)
-
- TriEdit Does the following:
- It Allows yoy to modify your User File without having to keep
- reloding TriTel and flicking billions of keys. Not to Mention
- <<Sorry Mark>>
- your almost LOSING YOUR VISION watching the screens SCROLL AND
- SCROLL
- AND SCROLL.... anyway, This is a LOT faster, looks better and is
- really fun to use.
-
- There is only one problem with it. It cannot modify the User Name.
- I will be dead honest with you all- The Name is connected with
- another file called USERS.IDX and in that file , a CRC-32 must be
- generated for the String of the User Name. I looked EVERYWHERE FOR THE
- DAMN ROUTINE, but only found it in the DSZ source Code, in Pascal.
-
- Needless to Say i didn't (and still don't know) WriteLn from
- Push/Pop. So, I was unable to translate PASCAL to BASIC. Sorry I
- REALLLLLLLY wanted to get that in on this version. -IF anyone finds me a
- CRC-32 Routine, in Basic or Assembler that Calculates the CRC-32
- ON A STRING (NOT ON A FILE), I Will gladly give that person a FREE
- registered copy of this software (a retail value of $20.00 oooh, ahhh.)

- The TriEdit Configuration File:
- TRIEDIT.CFG
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- The TRIEDIT.CFG File is NECCESARY for running triedit. IT MUST
- BE IN THE DIRECTORY FROM WHICH YOU RUN TRIEDIT. The File MUST
- Have ALL of the Following Lines populated with CORRECT information:
-
- Line 1 C:\TRITEL\MWORK\USERS.DAT <----User Data File
- 2 C:\TRITEL <----Main TriTel Directory
- 3 The Operating Room <----Board Name
- 4 The Surgeon General <----SysOp's Name
- 5 000000000000 <----Registration Number (all 0's
- if)
- (not
- Reg'd.)
- 6 Yes <----Backup USERS.DAT Before
- Beginning Triedit.
- The File is RENAMED to
- "USRS.DAT" ONLY ONCE!!!!!
- (Not Constantly Re-Backed Up)

-
- Using TriEdit As a Menu Command
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- TriEdit is a PERFECT addition to your Sysop Menu!!
- Just make a batch file in which DOORWAY (R) is used to allow the user or
- Co-SysOp or whoever, to modify the user file. It looks really kool and
- its a way ot show off your new utility. The Following is the
- recommended batch file for DOORWAY:
-
- @ECHO OFF
- cd\doorway
- DOORWAY COM2 /V:D /O:T /G:ON /B:MZ /S:C:\TRITEL /P:C:\TRITEL\TRIEDIT.EXE
- CD\TRITEL
- BOARD
-
-
- In the batch file, "/S:C:\TRITEL" is where doorway can find your
- pcboard.dat and pcboard.sys data files, so be sure they are created
- before allowing any user to use triedit.
-
- And, Obviously, "COM2" is the port you're using.

- Errors and Problems
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- I have tried to code for every conceivable error, but no program is
- 100% error-free and mine is not exception. Hopefully, when you use it,
- it will be in a good mood and won't decide to nuke your user data file,
- but if it does, ya gotta have backed it up or used the configuration
- option.
-
- In the event that there is an error, the program has a built on
- detector. It will say, at the top of the screen, UNEXPECTED ERROR!!!
- If it does say this, please take down all pertinent information, along
- wiht copies of your config. files and such and upload the information in
- a message to me (seth goldberg or The Surgeon General) on any TriTel
- Support Board. Send the Message Net Mail. That Should do it.
-
-
- I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY USING THIS UTILITY AS MUCH AS I ENJOYED CREATING
- IT!!!!
