Please call the The File Cabinet BBS for the latest version of this program.
LEGALITIES:
===========
THIS SOFTWARE AND ACCOMPANYING MATERIALS ARE DISTRIBUTED "AS IS" WITHOUT
WARRANTY, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
IN NO EVENT SHALL ANYONE INVOLVED WITH THE CREATION AND PRODUCTION OF THIS
PRODUCT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, ARISING
OUT OF ANY USE THEREOF OR BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY. ONCE REGISTERED, ANY
DISTRIBUTION OF THE REGISTERED KEY WILL INVALIDATE YOUR KEY IN ALL FUTURE
VERSIONS OF THIS PROGRAM AND NO PRODUCT SUPPORT WILL BE GIVEN.
DISTRIBUTION:
=============
You may make this file available for downloading from your BBS or you may
upload it to any BBS of your choice, provided that you do not make any
changes to the contents of the archive (ZIP file).
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
====================
TriWelcomeNewUsers is designed to generate both ANSI and ASCII screens,
which contain a listing of up to 250 NEW users of your BBS. The screens
can be used as Logon screens or regular Bulletin screens.
NOTE:
=====
The TRIWNU.KEY file that is distributed with this program does NOT expire!
This is simply here so the door has a KEY to read. When you register,
you will receive a new TRIWNU.KEY file, which will remove the UNREGISTERED
notice from the bulletins, and display the name of your BBS, etc.
FEATURES:
=========
--- Easy to set up.
--- BETA tested on a TriBBS BBS.
--- Support BBS available.
--- Generates ANSI and ASCII bulletins.
--- One time registration fee good for any future version.
INSTALLATION:
=============
1. Place four files, (TRIWNU.CFG, NEWUSERS.DAT, TRIWNU.EXE, and
TRIWNU.KEY), in your main TriBBS directory. (Example: C:\TRIBBS)
Note: Just a reminder for you to BE SURE you place the NEWUSERS.DAT
file in your main TriBBS directory, along with the other three
files as stated above. Without it, TriWelcomeNewUsers will NOT
work. Also, the "old" NEWUSERS.DAT file is deleted, and a new
one is created each time TriWelcomeNewUsers is executed.
2. Using a text editor, edit the TRIWNU.CFG file to include the required
information as shown in the example below.
The File Cabinet BBS <-- The name of your BBS.
Bob Harmon <-- Sysop's FIRST and LAST name.
C:\TRIBBS\DISPLAY\BULLET10.BBS <-- Path to your ASCII bulletin.
C:\TRIBBS\DISPLAY\BULLET10.ANS <-- Path to your ANSI bulletin.
The path to your ASCII and ANSI bulletins MUST include
the filename of both your ASCII and ANSI bulletins.
3. TriWelcomeNewUsers is executed with the following command.....
TRIWNU C:\TRIBBS\MWORK\CALLERS.LOG
Note: The complete path and filename to the CALLERS.LOG file MUST be
included in the command.
TriWelcomeNewUsers can be executed from the TriBBS BETWEEN.BAT file, which
will result in TriWelcomeNewUsers generating updated bulletins between
each call. Therefore, using a text editor, edit the BETWEEN.BAT file
located in your main TriBBS directory, and add the required information
as shown in the example below.
TRIWNU C:\TRIBBS\MWORK\CALLERS.LOG
Note: For additional information on the use of the BETWEEN.BAT file,
please refer to your TriBBS manual.
TriWelcomeNewUsers can also be executed by using the "event" feature of TriBBS.
This would be handy if you did not want the bulletins generated by
TriWelcomeNewUsers to be updated between each call to your BBS.
Note: For additional information on the use of the "event" features
please refer to your TriBBS manual.
MAINTENANCE:
============
TriWelcomeNewUsers analyzes the CALLERS.LOG file, and should continue to do
so, until you delete, rename, etc. the CALLERS.LOG file. You could do
this on the first of each month, and TriWelcomeNewUsers will track the new
users of your BBS on a month to month basis.
FUTURE VERSIONS:
================
I have some ideas for future versions. Let me know if you do.
PROBLEMS:
========
Hopefully, there will not be any problems. But if you encounter any,
please let me know.
VERSION HISTORY:
===============
See the HISTORY.DOC file for information on the history of the
program, etc.
REGISTERING:
============
TriWelcomeNewUsers is Shareware. You are granted a 30 day trial period in
which you may evaluate TriDoors. If you continue to utilize this product,
you are required to register it.
See the enclosed registration form for ordering! (REGISTER.DOC)
That's all there is to it! If you have any problems or questions,
please feel free to call the The File Cabinet BBS at (501) 247-1141
and leave a message in the FC Software message conference, or leave
me, Bob Harmon, a message in the Shareware or TriBBS 3rd Party message
conference of The TriBBS Network (TTN).
Thanks!!!
