Sub Date Reminder v1.0 from LlanoWare
What is it:
SDR generates a ans/asc file for you to display to your users with an
xxxxx security level, yy days before thier subscription runs out. SDR will
only display the file once per day!
FileNames:
SDR_10.EXE is for use with RA 1.11, SDR_20.EXE is for use with RA 2.00
When reading this doc, substitute filenames as needed.
How it works:
SDR reads the users security level, subdate and lastdateon from exitinfo.bbs.
SDR then looks for a file called Sxxx_yyy.A?? (S MUST be the first letter of
the filename, xxx=security level, yyy=number of days before subdate expires,
A??= ANS for ansi users and ASC for ascii users). If the users data does not
match the requirements, they are show a 0 byte file.
Example:
Say you have a user who's subdate expires in 4 days with a security level of
100 and has not been on today. If there is a file named: S100_4.ANS and/or
S100_4.ASC they will be copied to a files named SDREMIND.ANS and SDREMIND.ASC.
Usage:
Place SDR_10.EXE in your textfiles directory (it MUST be there). Make your
ansi/ascii files for the security levels and number of days before expiration
in your textfiles directory. When making the ansi/ascii files, give them
names that start with an 'S', next comes the seclevel this file is for
(NO leading 0's), next comes the '_', then the number of days before users
subdate expires (NO leading 0's) and last have a .ANS or .ASC extension.
examples:
S100_4.ANS SecLevel 100, displayed 4 days before expiration
S1500_10.ANS " " 1500 " " 10 " " " " " "
S25000_5.ANS " " 25,000 " " 5 " " " " " "
S10_12.ANS " " 10 " " 12 " " " " " "
You will need 2 automatic menu commands to properly use SDR. The first
will run SDR, the second will display the file to the user.
The first automatic command will be a type7 with optional data of:
C:\RA\TXTFILES\SDR_10.EXE (change to correct path to your txtfiles dir)
The second automatic command will be a type45 with optional data of:
SDREMIND
Multiple languages:
If you have more than one language and read textfiles from more than one
directory, you need to install multiple SDR_10.EXE files in each of the
textfiles directorys. SDR gets the information of where to find/create the
*.A?? files from it's own commandline.
Warrenty:
