MATCH MAKER HIGHLIGHTS
----------------------
Match Maker allows for the matching of callers with like interests
based upon answers given to questions developed by the Sysop.
You may create up to 100 questions to be asked of each caller. You
may create a different set of questions, based upon the callers sex.
All that is required is to assign the proper filename to each set.
You can indicate which questions you want a single choice and which
you will allow the caller to select multiple choices.
You may create a trashcan file containing names you do not want used
as an alias.
You may limit the number of times a caller may access the door per
day.
You may send and receive PRIVATE messages to/from ANY MatchMaker
users, BBS users OR to the Match Maker Author!
Caller database can accomodate unlimited number of users. (Reg
version)
All Caller database records contain the logon name of the caller.
A maintainance program is supplied to be used to purge the User
Profile database and recreate the Index file. Purge criteria for the
Event maintenance is maintained in the Match Maker CFG file (Purging
is allowed in the Registered version only). When run locally you will
be asked to define the purge criteria at run time (Registered version
only). Unregistered version allows for the search and viewing of
Callers records (search may be by Alias or logon name) as well as the
recreation of Indexes and a number of other functions.
The Maintenance program can also clear all answers to all questions
or answers to individual questions. The Match Maker program will then
detect this and force the caller to answer the new question(s).
Caller can download Questionnaire files, answer the questions offline
and upload the answers to questionnaire files directly thru the door
itself.
You MUST have 2 questionnaires, one being a Self-Description the
other being a Desired-Match
You can take picture files (uploaded directly thru the Match Maker
Door) and attach them to the User's profile, thus making them
available for viewing/downloading when that user's profile is chosen
to be viewed.
MULTI-LANGUAGE capable!
