Dawg's User Status
v1.10
May 02, 1993
Copyright (C) 1993, by Lawrence C. Bensinger
All Rights Reserved
DESCRIPTION
===========
Dawg's User Status (henceforce referred to as DUS), is a simple little
program I wrote to generate a list of male users and female users. We
carry a great many adult subs and with some of the user names are fairly
gender neutral. So I thought it would be nice to have a listing in the
gfiles of males and females to help prevent some embarrasment. It will
also generate a listing of birthdays for the date it's ran.
REGISTRATION
============
DUS is not public domain, it is shareware. After 30 days you must either
register DUS of quit using it. The registration request for the program
is $5. I've spent a fair amount of time on this and I think that is
a fair price if you wish to use the program. The program is completely
uncrippled (I hate crippleware), the only difference is the messages that
are appended to the lists it creates. If you wish to register, my address is
at the end of this doc file.
FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS
===================
I >thought< I was done with this. But I decided to work on it some more. It
now sends a happy birthday ssm to users. Some possibilities for the future
are configurable SSM's instead of the default one or possibly an email instead.
COMPATIBILITY
=============
This program is only compatible with WWIV v4.22 and it's 'super userrec.'
If you are running an older version, feel free to contact me, I might
be persuaded to compile a special version for you.
INSTALLATION
============
Simple as can be. Stick the exe file in your main bbs directory and run it.
It will read config.dat to determine where your data directory is (for the
userlist) and then it will output three files to your gfiles directory. The
files are MALES.LST, FEMALES.LST, and BDAYS.LST. Hopefully these are self
explanatory.
REGISTERING
===========
To register, send $5 and the name of your bbs EXACTLY as it appears in
INIT to the following address. This is CASE SENSITIVE, so for example
Defcon Five and Defcon FIVE would have different codes.

Note, I DO NOT mail out disks. DUS just needs a code to be registered, not
any special file. You can always download the latest version of this on
Defcon Five BBS (number at the end of this file). I can either email you the
number and code via one of the networks I am in (WWIVnet/WWIVlink,IceNET) or
you may setup an account on Defcon Five and I'll email you there. Once I
receive that I will email you a registration number and code. You must then
create a file in your main bbs directory called DUS.REG. In that file on the
first line you must put your registration number. On the second line your
registration code. For example:
COPY CON DUS.REG [return]
1 [return]
4245912375 [F6]
SPECIAL NOTE:
I am not against 'swapping registrations' with other shareware
authors out there. So if you have written some useful piece of shareware
(preferable WWIV related) and you want to trade registrations, please
let me know.
CONTACTING THE AUTHOR
=====================
I can be contacted at the following network addresses:
WWIVnet 1@3472 (or 2@3478)
WWIVlink 1@13498
IceNET 1@3487
PDnet 1@4
NOTE: The 2@3478 is Defcon Five bbs. Anything I've written is online there.
The board has ASV so if you are a registered network sysop you can
download on the first call. It is also where I test my mods and such
so feel free to give it a call. (314) 278-3603 [v.32/9600]

REVISION HISTORY
================
1.10 05/02/93 Fourth release. Added code to send a happy birthday
SSM to any user who has a birthday. This currently
only works for networked boards since I chose not to
write directly to the SMW.DAT file. :(
1.00 04/29/93 Third release. Added code to generate a birthday
listing as well. Kinda nice to either put up in the
gfiles or to have it print out during the logon. Also
added registration code to the program.
0.60 04/23/93 Second release. Made the file listings colored with
WWIV colors. Looks 'decent' in gfiles now. May make
that a command line option later. Also added summary
totals and percentages to the reports.
0.50 04/21/93 First public release. Should work fine with v4.22
userrec. Not very 'pretty' but does what I set out
to do.
