- INFORMATION ABOUT THIS DEMO
-
- This is a demo version of Control Panel. The demo version of CP differs
- from the commercial release in the following ways:
-
- * It is fully functional with the exception that CP will NOT make changes
- to the TBBS Userlog.bbs.
-
- * Conversion utilities from other user management programs are not
- included.
-
- * Technical Support and some other documents are not included.
-
-
- WHETHER YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM A PREVIOUS RELEASE OF CONTROL PANEL OR
- CONVERTING FROM ANOTHER USER MANAGEMENT PRODUCT YOU MUST FIRST PERFORM THE
- UPDATE/CONVERSION PROCEDURES LISTED IN THE CONVERT.DOC. PLEASE DO THIS
- BEFORE RUNNING OR INSTALLING CONTROL PANEL 2.3.
-
- PLEASE SEE THE CONVERT.DOC FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON NECESSARY
- PROCEDURES TO IMPORT TBBS USERLOG DATA INTO THE CONTROL PANEL SYSTEM. THIS
- MUST BE DONE BEFORE ALLOWING CALLERS TO ACCESS CONTROL PANEL.
-
- This program would not be possible without your support as well as your
- ideas. Your ideas and suggestions are VERY much needed to help us continue
- to develop this product. As you are working with this program please write
- down your ideas as you think of them and send us a note so that we can
- incorporate your suggestions into a future release.
-
- A program that tries to undertake the monumental task of managing most if
- not all of the daily functions related to subscription and user management
- becomes quite complex. After its initial design the program was totally
- re-coded because it did not meet our standards for speed and memory
- utilization. We realize in a major release of this size that there may be
- problems that have escaped our Alpha and Beta testers. We are counting on you
- to let is know where the program is not functioning. We will work to fix
- major problems as quickly as possible. If the problem will take some time to
- correct we will notify you. Before you receive any maintenance releases they
- will go through out standard Alpha and Beta test procedures to assure that
- the updates meet our standards before being released.
-
- CONVERT.DOC details the steps necessary to import TBBS userlog data into
- your Control Panel Databases. In addition you will find information about
- importing user information from other user management products into CP.
-
- The CP23.DOC is the manual for Control Panel. Please take the time to read
- it thoroughly. It contains all of the setup and configuration information
- for the program. The manual also contains detailed explanations as to how
- the various modules and commands work.
-
- The QWKSETUP.DOC is designed for those who are familiar with TBBS, TDBS and
- Control Panel. If you are new to any of the above then we suggest consulting
- the CP manual. The Quick Setup Document only covers the bare minimum needed
- to get Control Panel up and running. It does not cover the configuration and
- installation of all modules.
-
- The CP.FAQ is made up of Frequently Asked Questions related to Control Panel.
- We realize that there may be a few operational procedures or concepts that
- you may have a question about. If after consulting the manual you still do
- not have your question answered then consult the CP.FAQ. If you still do not
- find the answer to your question then please notify us.
-
- The TECHSUPT.DOC gives you information on how to contact us for questions
- and technical support. It is important that you read this document as it
- also details the items and procedures that you need to follow so that we
- can resolve your problem or question in a timely manner.
