- FileNuker / -Crediter for RemoteAccess 2.0/2.5
- Copyright(C) 1993-96 by Grischa Brockhaus, SkullSoft Group
-
-
- 1.1 What is this all about?
-
- RATOMiC is a tool for RemoteAccess 2.+, giving you the ability
- to nuke uploads or to give an extra-credit for spezial files.
-
- =NUKE=
- If you locate a file in your filebase, wich is too old or
- uploaded in the wrong filearea again, you can "nuke" it now.
- This means, it will be deleted, truncated or moved and the
- upload-credit will be substracted from the user's ratio. You
- can decrease the ratio with a faktor up to 5. For VERY sinewy
- users you can set the WHOLE ratio to zero. This might be a kind
- of instructive in some situations.. ;) The Cosysop can choose
- between 5 default reasons for nuking or may enter a new reason
- for the nuked file.
-
- =CREDIT=
- This is exact the opposite of the nuking-process. If a user
- uploaded a file, that you or your users were looking for for a
- long time, you can honor the uploader with an extra credit.
- This can be done up to factor 5 again.
-
- Group- and Filearea-Securities and Flags will be watched.
- Areas, the user can't see under RemoteAccess, he also won't see
- in RATOMiC. Further minimal-levels are definable for special
- actions.
-
- RATOMiC will send local messages to your hudson- or JAM-style
- messagebase, describing the uploader, what has happen to hi
- uploads, if you want. Also it is able to change the
- file-description for you with the Credit/Nuke-factor and the
- name of the user, who nuked/credited.
-
- RATOMiC can be used as a replacement of the internal wildcard
- file-search. Just configure the nuke and credit seclevel as
- high as needed. The user can seach for wildcards and tag them
- 2
- ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- inside of RATOMiC
-
- RATOMiC can be used as a local sysop-tool, but it is designed
- for using it online, for CoSysop's maintenances for example.
- Your Co' and some privileged users are able now to nuke and
- credit. RATOMiC comes with a fancy easy to use
- cursor-movement-online-interface....
-
- Added to all this, RATOMiC might be a handy tool for your file
- cosysop: You may edit descriptions of files or their password,
- move them to other areas or delete them and so on. Many
- possibilities are included and they are very handy to use !
-
- 1.2 ShareWare
-
- This program is developed under the shareware-concept.
-
- This means, the author of this program (me :) gives you a
- test-version for a trial period of 30 days. You can test the
- program, if it fits your needings, runs in your environment,
- and so on. After the trial-time you have to buy it if you want
- to use it in the future or have to delete it. Every using of
- this test-version beyond the trial-phase is handled as piracy.
-
- Please remember: Authors of ShareWare-programs are so fair to
- give you the chance to test the program. Please be fair, too:
- Buy the program, if you use it.
-
- ShareWare is not the same as freeware. It is a commercial
- software tried to be sold in a fair manner.
-
- Oh, by the way: If you pay for the program, ShareWare-screens
- are disabled and extra-features are enabled, of course.

-
- 1.3 Registration
-
- If you want to register RATOMiC, please fill out the file
- REGISTER.FRM *COMPLETELY* and send it together with the money
- to me or one of my support sites.
-
- You can reach me via fidonet, too: 2:2410/1001.1

- 2 Installation
-
- 2.1 Parameters
-
- If you specify any parameter on the command line, they will
- overwride according configurations in the configfile, if
- existing.
-
- /P<Port>
- The Com-port, RATOMiC should use. If not given, RATOMiC will
- read it from dropfiles.
-
- /L
- Local mode, RATOMiC will not read the EXITINFO.BBS. The
- Seclevel will be maximal, the name will be the sysopname found
- in CONFIG.RA.
-
- /N
- You may define the actual nodenumber with this parameter.
- RATOMiC itself dosn't use it, it will be used to replace the *N
- macro in the configurations.
-
- /F=<File with directory>
- RATOMiC will only show this file. You may combine it with
- /A=<AreaNr> if you like. RATOMiC will find the file much faster
- but it is not neccessary. Withot /A= RATOMiC will search the
- Base for directory matching Areas. /F= is nice for using
- RATOMiC as external arcviewer inside of RA or a filelister
- door.
-
- Example: Put your normal viewer definition into RATOMiC.CFG.
- Then define
- RATOMIC.EXE /F=@ /H=4 /N*N /*P
- as your external viewer for RA. When you view the file inside
- of RA you will be able to use the other RATOMiC features, too !
-
- /A
- RATOMiC will only browse through the actual filearea. This will
- make the working with this tool more hany for your CoSysop.
-
- /A=<AreaNr>
- RATOMiC will only browse through the filearea, specified with
- AreaNr
-
- /G
- RATOMiC will only search in the actual group. Again, this makes
- the working more handy. You can enter wider wildcards at the
- wildcard-prompt.
-
- /G=<GroupNr>
- RATOMiC will only search in the Group, specified with GroupNr
-
- /TAG
- 5
- ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- RATOMIC will work on tagged files only without asking before.
- This is nice for CoSysops, tagging files before.
-
- /H=<HotKeyNr>
- RATOMiC will use Hotkey Nr.<HotKeyNr> first. If you give the
- parameter /H=4, RATOMiC will highligth the VIEW button instead
- of the default NEXT button. See /F= for examples on it.
-
- WATCH OUT!
- Don't specify the parameters /A and /G together with the
- /L-parameter. In local there is no actual filearea or group.
-
- 2.2 Configuration file
-
- RATOMiC is easy configurable via a textfile. This file is named
- RATOMiC.CFG and has to be found in the same directory, where
- RATOMiC itself is located.
-
- You'll find some sample-configurations in the distrubition
- archiv. Please read the details of configuration in these
- sample-configs. They are well documentated.
-
- 2.3 Installation in your BBS
-
- You may install RATOMiC via a type 7 (EXEC) menu or as external
- arcviewer.
-
- 2.3.1 Install as mene type 7
-
- Here comes the Menu 7 Installation:
-
- Paramter : RATOMIC.EXE /P*P /N*N [/F /G] *X
-
- Specifying the parameters /F or /G will reduce the number of
- area-numbers bowsed by RATOMiC. This will make working more
- handy for your CoSys and you. Youre wildcards can be choosed in
- a wider range then. If you specify the /F switch, a wildcard
- *.* would browse through the actual filearea as another kind of
- filelister... :-)
-
- RATOMiC will watch the security and flags of the user and will
- show only areas with matching goup-/security-configurations. If
- you want, you can disable this feature in the
- configuration-file.
-
- Privat files will be shown only to users with a definable
- minimal-level.
-
- The *X option will tell RemoteAccess of Version 2.02 or higher,
- that it should create an external tagfile and reread it after
- the exit of RATOMiC. Now users can tag files inside RATOMiC!
-
- In the local mode, all areas and files will be shown, of
- 6
- ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- course.
-
-
- 2.3.2 Install as ext. arcviewer
-
- The other (better) choice is, to install RATOMiC as external
- arcviewer. If you want to do this, please first write the
- former arcviewer into RATOMiC.CFG. After that install RATOMiC
- as arcviewer:
-
- RATOMiC.EXE /F=@ /H=4 /P*P /N*N *X
-
- If you view a file now, RATOMiC will be calles. The VIEW button
- will be highlighted. Normal users only have to press ENTER now
- to view the file, you and your cosysop have all the RATOMiC
- features for the actual file available now !
-
- 2.4 Turbo Nuking
-
- RATOMiC has a Turbo Nuking mode. The cosysop may tag files
- before he enters RATOMiC. If RATOMiC found some tagged files,
- it will ask, if it should process only this files. If the
- parameter /TAG was given, RATOMiC won't ask.
-
- If you are in Turbo Nuking mode, parameters like /F and /G will
- be disabled, because we are searching over the whole filebase.
-
- 2.5 Messages
-
- RATOMiC is able to send messages to the the user concerned by
- the action. You can inform this user about his credit-changing
- and so on.
-
- Please edit the following files, or use the files found in the
- distribution-archive.
-
- NUKE.MSG
- CREDIT.MSG
-
- In these message-files you can use some makros that will be
- replaced by RATOMiC with actual values:
-
- $F The name of the handled file
- $U The uploader of the file
- $UA Handle of uploader
- $S The "sysop", who acted
- $SA Handle of sysop
- $N Factor of credit-changing
- $NR The nuke reason
-
- These macros ARE CASESENSITIVE... Perhaps I will use more in
- the future.
-
- 7
- ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- More configurations about the message-writing are found and
- documentated in the configuration-file.
-
- 2.6 File comments
-
- RATOMiC will change the comments of nuked / credited files, if
- you want it to. This is configurable in RATOMiC.CFG.
-
- How RATOMiC changes the comments for the files is definable in
- a macro file. RATOMiC will use the macro file NUKECOMM.MAK if
- in nuking mode and CREDCOMM.MAK if in crediting mode. I have
- added example files to the distribution archive.
-
- Inside this macro files some macros will be replaced:
-
- @NAME by the name of the user actually nuking/crediting
- @ALIAS ba the handle of the user actually nuking/crediting
- @UPLOADER by the user who uploaded the file
- @UPALIAS by the handle of the uploader
- @COUNT the nuking/crediting multiplier
- @REASON the reason for nuking. Will be undefined in credit
- mode, so *DON'T* use it in CREDCOMM.MAK
-
- 3 Finally
-
- Well. That's all folks. :-) I hope, the documentation was clear
- enough (englisch is not my native language!). All ther is to
- sys now: Have fun with RATOMiC !
