- Documentation for The Enforcer 0.1™
- -----------------------------------
- Written in Monaco 9 point
-
- Introduction
- ------------
-
- The Enforcer was written to encourage users to post public messages rather than
- playing on-line games without ever visiting the bulletin boards. Removing the
- games from the bulletin board system was not the answer. The Enforcer was!
-
- Now registered users on my bulletin board can enter the games without being
- questioned, but un-registered users must post one public message for every five
- calls that they make to the system or else they will be denied entrance to the
- on-line games.
-
- The Enforcer is run as an external application that launches back to Red Ryder
- Host, or goes onward to the another application if the user meets the
- requirements that you have set. The Enforcer works extremely fast so there
- should be no noticeable delay upon switching applications. If the user is
- denied access an optional string can be written to the CALLERLOG.
-
- I have been using The Enforcer for several weeks on my bulletin board system
- with absolutely no problems. However, if you think that you have found a bug,
- or if you would like to make a suggestion, please feel free to do so!
-
-
- Agreement
- ---------
-
- By using The Enforcer you agree to several things…
-
- 1) You must leave me a message telling me that you found The Enforcer useful.
- You can leave this message either on GEnie or on my BBS, The Fifth Dimension.
- Please include your suggestions, comments, and, eeek!, bug reports.
-
- 2) If you distribute this program in any way, you must not alter the original
- StuffIt Archive contents in any way, shape, or form.
-
- 3) The Enforcer is free! However, if you want to send me some big bucks for it,
- or for anything else that I have released on GEnie, such as my Validation
- Survey, Quiz Surveys, FSP Control File, RLE Package, Fedora Quotes, or RRH Stop
- then feel free to do so!
-
-
- Setting It Up!
- --------------
-
- [1] Place The Enforcer in the same folder as Red Ryder Host. It must be in the
- same folder as Red Ryder Host if you are using Host 2.0 or above.
-
- [2] Go into ResEdit and open up The Enforcer application. When the resources
- are shown open the STR resource. There are five STR resources in The Enforcer
- application that you will need to modify.
-
- AmntCall,500 { Number of calls that can be made for every one
- 5 public message posted. }
-
- FreeAccs,501 { Users with equal or greater access gain entrance
- 25 to the application without having to be within
- the assigned ratio. }
-
- HostPath,502 { Pathname to the Red Ryder Host application. Must
- DD80:RRH:Host: end with a colon! }
-
- HostName,503 { The name of your Red Ryder Host application. }
- RR Host
-
- LaunchTo,504 { Pathname and filename of the application to go
- DD80:RRH:Host:Dungeons to if the user is within the ratio, or if they
- have free access to the application. There is
- no colon at the end of this pathname! }
-
- ReportIt,505 { If this string is a lowercase or uppercase “y”
- Y then an entry will be made to your CALLERLOG
- disk file if a user was denied entrance. }
-
- [3] Allow The Enforcer to be called by a command fifty or fifty-one from Red
- Ryder Host. Then test it out to make sure the pathnames are correct.
-
-
- Closing Remarks
- ---------------
-
- PLEASE remember to tell me if you find this external application useful. I
- appreciate getting notes from time to time mentioning that you have found my
- work useful. I am not demanding money from you, just a message, so, for this
- reason, The Enforcer is officially MessageWare!
-
- If I get feedback on my work, I will continue to release my work on GEnie, but,
- if I do not, I will be forced to remove my work from GEnie once again. Your
- feedback will ensure bigger and better things to come from The Fifth Dimension.
- The feedback has finally picked up! I would like to thank those of you who
- have sent me a message again. You guys and gals give me what I need to
- continue coming out with useful utilities for the Red Ryder Host System
- Operator. Look for a full featured User Analyzer comming soon!
