- Program: ONLINE CREDIT CARD PROCESSING SYSTEM v3.1.
- Compiled on 04-23-94.
-
- Use the OCCPS program to replace the use of credit card doors.
- Runs much smoother due to the seamless interface provided by
- the PPL language. Will automatically upgrade users security
- access giving them instant upgrade. Writes a CHARGE.LOG file
- with all transaction information. Also writes information on
- program usage to the CALLER log. This version will allow you
- to configure any number of security levels and terms of
- subscriptions. You may also specify which credit cards will be
- accepted by the program.
-
-
- Description: PPE (PCBoard Programming Executable) that you can be used
- to allow your users to either download a REGISTER.ZIP file or
- use their credit card for BBS registration.
-
- Installation: Installation should be fairly straight forward.
-
- Just unzip the file to a place of your choosing. Then, modify
- CMD.LST in PCBSetup to point to this PPE file. The PPE file
- will look for the supporting files in the same directory as the
- PPE file. There is now two versions of the PPE. If you use
- PCBoard v15.0 then you should use OCCPS1.PPE. If you use
- PCBoard v15.1 then you should use OCCPS2.PPE.
-
-
-
- Modifying: 1. The choices for registration are displayed to the user via
- the file CATLOG. You will need to modify this file using PCBEdit
- or some other editor to meet the needs of your board. The
- program will also make use of graphics, language, and/or security
- level versions of this file (ie., CATLOGG, CATLOG.FRE, CATLOG30,
- etc.).
-
- 2. There is now an optional feature that will display a file
- to the user based on whether or not there is a file named SECURE
- for their security level (i.e., SECURE5). This was added by a
- users request to display a file to anyone who had not gone thru
- the verify door. If the SECURE file is found in the same
- directory as the PPE it will be displayed to the caller, then
- after a brief delay, will exit the PPE.
-
- IMPORTANT: IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO USE THIS FEATURE MAKE SURE
- TO DELETE OR RENAME ANY "SECURE" FILES IN THE
- PPE DIRECTORY.
-
- 3. Another optional feature is one that will display a file
- to the user following all credit card processing. This file may
- be used to pass information on to the caller informing him of
- how the charge will show up on his credit card bill. The
- filename used for this display is INFORM and can be edited to
- say whatever you like. If you do not wish to use this feature
- just delete or rename the INFORM file.
-
- 4. Next you will need to modify the CCARDS.CFG file removing
- any of the credit card types which you DO NOT accept on your
- BBS.
-
- NOTE: These credit cards types should be entered one per
- line and must be in all uppercase
-
- 5. Next you will need to modify the file OCCPS.CFG as shown
- below. Starting with line 4 you enter the three digit security
- level and subscription period for each option in your CATLOG
- file, separated by a comma.
-
- For example: Selection "1" from the menu would give the user
- the security level and subscription period
- specified in line #4.

-
- LINE 1: The name of your BBS ** Exactly as registered
- LINE 2: OCCPS ** Please DO NOT change this line
- LINE 3: 000000000 ** Your registration number
- LINE 4: XXX,YYY
- LINE 5: XXX,YYY ** XXX and YYY must be three digits
- LINE 6: XXX,YYY beginning with leading zeros if
- LINE 7: XXX,YYY neccessary.
-
- and so on.............
-
- WHERE: XXX = Security level
- YYY = # of days level is good for.
-
-
- Note: I am aware that some of you may not feel that a PPL program is
- of the same caliber as Door Programs that perform the same
- functions because of the ease to program using the PPL language.
- However, there has been a significant amount of work involved in
- the writing of this program and I feel that a programmer's
- knowledge, expertise, and time should be compensated for.
-
- If you feel that this program and others like it are
- insignificant efforts then you should have no problem writing
- your own PPL programs and will not need the source code.
-
- It is also understood that not all SysOps are programmers and
- do not have the programming ability to produce their own PPE
- programs. It is for these SysOps that this program is being
- placed for download and use by others.
-
-
- Registration: Use of this program beyond a 30 day evaluation period requires a
- registration fee of $20.00 and will ensure continued support and
- upgrades. Send registrations to the address below.
- Registration form is included as ORDER.FRM
