│ JLUTIL │
└────────┘
JLUTIL is very powerful and can change the levels of many Users
in a few seconds by using the /MO option. JLUTIL is not interruptable
and if you installed JLUTIL not properly, your Files may be changed
in a way you haven't intended and you will need many hours to reinstall
your BBS.
Perhaps you start with the following steps:
1) Enter: SET JLPATH=_________ <- your JL-Directory
As you can see THE JL's must be in a directory, which is
specified with the environment variable JLPATH=. If the
homedirectory of THE JL's is C:\JL, the you must enter
SET JLPATH=C:\JL.
2) Put this line also into your AUTOEXEC.BAT.
3) Enter: SET GTPATH=_________ <- your GT-Directory (should be already)
4) Put this line also into your AUTOEXEC.BAT.
5) READ GENERAL.HLP
This file includes a list of THE JL's ErrorCodes. If eg. THE JL's
say: Can't open [...] (ErrorCode 23), then please look up, what
this error could mean and how you can solve the problem. Normally
you should be able to ship around all difficulties, but sometimes
it could be useful to ask somebody else. Then feel free to ask
Ed Bragg, Terry Dansey or Gene Newcomb or join the support echo.
6) Install JL.CNF.
JL.CNF is one of the most important files of THE JL's. Take
some time to understand each variable within JL.CNF. Be sure
that you have setup the LP=, HP= and MP= variables corretly
and that the logfiles are in the directory LP= and the helpfiles
in the directory HP= and the messagefiles in the directory MP=.
7) READ *.DOC.
JLUTIL.DOC gives you an overview about the features of THE JL's.
10) LIST HISTORY.DOC
11) CD %GTPATH%
12) COPY USER.CTL USEROLD.CTL
You should save your userfile and perhaps the index file too.
13) COPY GTUSER.BBS GTUSER.OLD
14) QEDIT GTUSER.OLD
■ and change the Name to yours and specify SY as authorization.
15) COPY GTUSER.OLD GTUSER.BBS
Can you imagine, why this could be necessary ?
16) CD %JLPATH%
17) COPY NOTICE.TXT ALLHELP.TXT
18) COPY ALLHELP.TXT + *.HLP
19) COPY ALLHELP.TXT + HISTORY.DOC
20) JLUTIL /HE
Read some of the HelpFiles. If JLUTIL tells you, that no help
is available, then please check, if the helpfiles are in the
directory JLPATH+HP=.
21) JLUTIL /SU
22) JLUTIL /CU
23) JLUTIL /CM ~ -P
24) JLUTIL /PM -E
25) JLUTIL /PM ~ -CP
26) JLUTIL /QU QUEST001.@JL
27) JLUTIL /QU QUEST002.@JL
28) LIST JL.LOG
29) LIST *.MSG
30) JLUTIL /IL DTRSOPXIN -SUMI
■ this will take some time
31) MMR
■ and read the files within the MsgAreas MCSUser & MCSSysop
32) QEDIT LEVELS.@JL
33) LIST MO.HLP
34) JLUTIL /MO -A
35) JLUTIL /IP
36) JLUTIL /DEBUG
37) JLUTIL /HE /DEBUG
38) Now you have seen some of the features of JLUTIL and you
should be able to inspect the others by your own. Good Luck.
┌────────┐
│ JLPLOT │
└────────┘
JLPLOT needs your actual JLCALL1.LOG. I have included an old one
from myself, but you should make your own by killing the existing
JLCALL1.LOG and running JLUTIL /DC -L. Please check this file and
update the other JLCALL?.LOG Files by answering the question at
startup with 'B' for both. JLPLOT terminates immediatly, if it can't
find these files.
Do the steps 1 to 19 (look at the part JLUTIL).
┌────────┐
│ JLBANK │
└────────┘
JLBANK is so easy, that you can learn much about it by running it.
Type JLBANK and look around. Be sure, that GTUSER.BBS stores your
name. Perhaps you have to do step #15 (look above).
Do the steps 1 to 19 (look at the part JLUTIL).
┌──────────────┐
│ REGISTRATION │
└──────────────┘
You can use the JL's as many times as you want without registering.
I have no problem with it, why should you have a problem with it,
if you are using the JL's and don't want to register yet.
If you want to register, read REGISTER.FRM for more details.
┌──────────────┐

┌───────────────┐
