New User Questionaire
Version 1.11
For Maximus BBSes
(c) 1996 Greg MacLellan, CHA0Soft
What it is: New User Questionaire is a logon MEX that allows an infinte
~~~~~~~~~~~ (not tested :) ) number of questions that you can ask. It also
is very easy to use, for both user and sysop.
Files included: Make sure that the archive you got includes these files:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ UNFO.DOC - This file
UNFO.BBS - The screen display file
UNFO.VM - The compiled MEX
UNFO.CTL - A sample configuration file
Legal Stuff: Like most of the stuff I do, User iNfO is FREEWARE. Please
~~~~~~~~~~~~ only distribute the original archive, although you can do what-
ever you like with it on your own system :) I'm not making any
guarantee about it not doing anything funny to your system. It
works fine on mine, and after all, it's only a MEX.
Installation: 1. Unzip UNFO.VM into the MEX directory (ie: c:\max\m). Unzip
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ UNFO.BBS into wherever (but make sure you specify it in the
UNFO.CTL .. I reccomend MISC\ but it doesn't matter). Stick
UNFO.DOC wherever you want.
2. Add a line in NEWUSER2.MEC or CONFIG.MEC (you can use any
file you want but I reccomend CONFIG.MEC since it comes right
with any other logon programs you have) that looks like:
[mex]m\unfo
or wherever you put the MEX file. Remember to run MECCA on
the file you choose!
4. Edit the UNFO.CTL file to suit your system. It is explained
both in the file, and below.
Configuration File: The Configuration file is called UNFO.CTL and should be
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ placed in your Maximus directory (ie. C:\MAX). This is
hardcoded in, so you'll have to live with it. :)
A line by line description of the file follows:
LogoFile: The location and name of the logo screen. Be sure to
~~~~~~~~~ include a full path.
EXAMPLE: LogoFile c:\max\misc\unfo.bbs
AnswerFile: This file is where UNFO will write the user's
~~~~~~~~~~~ answers to. Include a full path & filename.
EXAMPLE: AnswerFile c:\max\answer.que
QuestionFile: This file contains a list of questions (one per
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ line) to ask the user. It will display exactly
as in the file, so remember to add "?"'s in.
EXAMPLE: QuestionFile c:\max\list.que
MinLength: The minimum length an answer has to be in order
~~~~~~~~~~ for UNFO to accept it as a valid answer. This is
so that users don't just try to enter garbage as
an answer.
EXAMPLE: MinLength 4
End: Tells UNFO that the file is finished.
~~~~
This will always be just: End
Support: I'm not going to offer 'support' really. If you run into a HUGE
~~~~~~~~ problem, then I'll help you out. Or if you'd like to suggest some-
thing, then leave me a note. I can be reached by the following
