- │ What's it all about │
- └─────────────────────┘
-
- RARNK001 is simply a program for those sysops who would like a name
- level given to each user, depending on that user's security level. Or,
- it may be used to place some other text in the user's comment field,
- again depending on the user's security level. The program will read an
- ASCII text file (which you create) and the reviews each user's security
- level. If the contents of the user's comment field does not match the
- text you have entered in the data file, then the user's comment field
- will be updated to match the data file. If the user's security level
- is not in the data file, then that user record will be bypassed and a
- warning message will be displayed to tell you that there is a security
- level in use on your system that is not in the RARNK001 data file.
-
-
- These comment fields can then be displayed in .A?? screens using the
- ^F] (Control-F and ']').

- ┌────────────────────┐
- │ Special Warning !! │
- └────────────────────┘
-
- At the present RARNK001 ONLY supports users.bbs files that have 1000 OR
- LESS users. If your highest user record number is 1000, DO NOT USE THIS
- PROGRAM !!!! It will TRASH your user file!
-
- Also, if you use the user comment field for any other purpose, then you
- may not want to use this program! All users with a security level that
- is listed in the data file will have their comment field overlayed.
-
-
- ┌──────────────────────┐
- │ Installation and Use │
- └──────────────────────┘
-
- Installing RARNK001 is easy. Place the program in the directory that
- contains your USERS.BBS and USERSXI.BBS files. Then you must edit the
- RARNK001.DAT file to match the security levels on your BBS. An example
- is given below:
-
- column 1
- v
- 0000000000
- 10 Prior
- 20 Knight
- 30 Prince
- 40 Honored Visitor
-
- NOTE: There MUST be a blank between security level and the level name.
-
- NOTE: RARNK001 will only support 100 different security levels on one
- BBS system.
-
- The first line of the RARNK001.DAT file is for your registration code.
- If you do not have the software registered, then please leave this line
- alone. This file must also be in the same directory as your USERS.BBS
- and USERSXI.BBS files. Then edit a batch file that you normally run
- every night.
