How much does it cost?
======================
Nothing! The setup program is bundled free with Charge Master!
What is CHGSETUP?
=================
Charge Master Setup is a WCCODE executable (WCX) exclusively for sysops
running Charge Master. It is a "sysop friendly" configuration and monitor
front end for Charge Master. Since it is a v4.01 WCX application, it can be
effectively run remotely as well as locally.
INSTALLATION
============
It is highly recommended that you set it up on your Sysop Menu. Please be
aware of who has access to this setup program, since the Charge Master
configuration file can be easily modified. If you do decide to set this up
as a menu option, please refer to the main document file (CHGMAST.DOC) on
a similar setup. There is no additional cost (registration) to use this
module. NOTE: The CHGSETUP.WCX must reside in the same directory that
CHGMAST.WCX resides. It is also recommended that the WIldcat home directory
path be set as an environment variable (eg: SET WCHOME=C:\WILDCAT) prior
to running this program.

RUNNING THE PROGRAM
===================
Depending on if you run this as a menu option or from the commad line, you
will be presented with the same screens and features. The program is coded
to automatically exit after 5 minutes of inactivity - so be aware if you
make changes to your setup and doze off!
The menus are pretty straight forward, and there is help displayed at the
bottom of the screen for each field that is being edited. If this is your
first time through, the program will fill in some of the defaults by itself
(Registration Name, Registration number, Message Conference, Minutes to add,
Advanced credit card numbers checking).
Saving on Exit
==============
When you exit the setup program, you are prompted to save data before
exiting. If you select "N", any changes you may have made will be lost,
as the CHGMAST.CFG file will not be updated. It is not a good idea to
edit the configuration file while someone is in Charge Master, even though
it will recognize that the module is in use.
Command line Parameters
=======================
There is only one command line parameter that can be used when running
the set up program. If you start the program with the CHECKTABS parameter
it will run in batch mode, and only check the CHGMAST.TAB file for a
pre-specified number of available TABS codes. This is designed so it
can be run as a daily event to check the number of available TABS codes
in the file. If it detects fewer than 5 unused codes, it will automatically
generate a private message to the sysop in Wildcat. Thus you won't get
caught will no available codes!
