- KINGUTIL Version 2.0
- Maintenance Utility for King of the Board
- August 4, 1989
-
- I have added quite a few more routines into the utility that I think need
- some explanation.
-
- The program has LOTUS type menu selections. Each horizontal selection will
- display a vertical seletion.
-
- User File Maintenance
- 1) List users - Screen
- This option will display the users file to you on the screen.
- 2) List Users - Printer
- Same as the previous option except output is directed to the printer.
- 3) Delete users by Date
- This option will allow you to purge the users file by date last in the door.
- 4) Delete User by name
- This will allow you to delete a user from the file by entering his name.
- 5) Verify Users file
- This is for PCBoard systems only and will allow you to verify the KING user
- file againt the PCBoard user file. All users that are not found are deleted
- from the KING users file. NO UPDATING OF THE PCBOARD USERS FILE IS DONE!!
- 6) Added a editor routine so that you may edit the user file. It will make a
- backup of the file before updating.
-
-
- Question Maintainence
- 1) Verify Question File
- This will read through the file and verify the questions and reset the first
- record in the file.
-
- 2) Merge New Questions
- This will merge the questions entered by the users into the question file.
- You may edit NEWQUES.DAT prior to using this option. It will also perform
- the question verify option to reset the first record.
-
- 3) Convert Questions to Text file
- This option will allow you to convert the file into a standard text file that
- can be edited with editor of your chosing. The first record in this text file
- is the number of questions in the file. You DO NOT have to change this number
- but it must be there. Converting this text file back to question file will
- rebuild this number
-
- 4) Convert Text file to Question file
- This option will convert the text file form the option above and rewrite
- the question file for use by the door.
-
- 5) Print Question file
- This option will print the question file out on the printer. This is to be
- for editing the questions.
-
- 6) Edit question file
- This option will allow you to edit the question file by entering the question
- number.
-
- You may add questions to the file by entering the next highest question
- number. The highest question number will be shown on the edit screen.
-
- To delete a question and answer delete the question text using the delete
- key and repeat this for the answer.
-
- To quit editing just enter a 0 for the question number. If you have deleted
- a question the program will backup the file and then rebuild it.
-
- If a add or delete has been performed the verify option will automatically
- run for you.
-
-
- On some systems running with SHARE loaded, after you have run one of the User
- delete options and you want to list the file, you may get a KING.USR Not Found
- message. I cannot for the life of me figure this out. The file is in fact there
- and if you exit the program and rerun it the list option will work. This is
- a Error 105 (Access denied) and I cannot figure out why I am getting this error.
- It may or may not occur but I wanted to let you know of it.
-
- As with the door, if you have any suggestions please jot them down and let me
- know. If they are reasonable I will include them in the next release.

- Thank You for Supporting KING OF THE BOARD
