- Remote Access Last Caller to FrontDoor Patch Utility
-
- Version 1.00
-
- By Mark G. Spivey
- BBSPlus Software Utilities
- Specializing in Remote Access Utilities
-
- Released into the public domain May 5th, 1992 as FREEWARE
-
-
- DISCLAIMER :
-
- I do not guarantee that this product will work with your current
- configuration. It has been tested on both single line systems and
- multi line systems with no problems. I can not be held responsible for
- any damage this program may do to your system wether by program fault
- or operator fault.
-
-
- WHAT IT DOES?
- Only Tested with RA v1.11 and FD 2.02 - the most current versions
- of both avaiable at this time. Future versions will only be
- compatible with the most current RELEASE of RA and FD as they become
- available.
-
- This program will take every last drop of information contained in
- the LASTCALL.BBS file from Remote Access and sqeeze it into the
- LASTCALL.FD incomming record for FrontDoor.
-
- What the information will look like!
-
- From: Last Caller Node Number:BAUD/# of Calls
- Hurtin Date Goof! Off: 12:00 Location
-
- That is all this does, but is quite handy if you want to know who
- the last caller was to your BBS at a glance.
-
-
- CONFIGURATION: This is EASY!
-
- Single Line Users:
-
- Place RALCFD.EXE and RALCFD.CFG into your RA system directory and
- edit the configuration file making sure that the paths are correct for
- your set up. The handle option will allow you to use a handle instead
- of name for the patch. The LAST TIME OFF option will allow you place
- the log off time into the location string for your reference only.
-
- Multi-Line Users:
-
- Place a configuration file (RALCFD.CFG) into each node directory
- for your BBS and one single copy of RALCFD into any directory in your
- path. Configuration as above making sure you use the correct node
- directory for each line.
-
- EXECUTION: Please be sure you read this carefully.
-
- Running from a BATCH file, change to the directory where you have
- the configuration file located and execute RALCFD. This must BE DONE
- BEFORE FD is loaded or RA is loaded with a shell to FD option. YOU
- MUST PLACE IT BEFORE RA or FD in your batch file. There seems to be a
- small bug with executing it before any enviroment variable changes
- that causes the BATCH file to stop executing every once in a while.
-
- EXAMPLE OF MULTI-NODE:
-
- Command line in FrontDoor's batch file for node 1 is simply:
- RALCFD.EXE
-
- (Thats it!)
-
- What's in node one's cfg file:
-
- C:\RA\LASTCALL.BBS <--------- RA SYSTEM DIR
- C:\FD\N1\LASTCALL.FD <-------- Node 1 FD PATH
- Y <------- This is if ye want handles, not names
- Y <------- This is if you want log off time shown
- ! <-------This sucker need to stay for good!
-
-
- BUG REPORTS:
-
- Please NETMAIL me via 1:3640/13 if you have any trouble with this
- program. It is currently in BETA test mode with NO PROBLEMS, but you
- know how that goes. If you wish to become a permanent BETA site for
- any of my upcoming utilities including this one, message usage
- counters, file area counters for CD-ROMS that WORK, or anything else I
- create, please MAIL me via 1:3640/13.
-
- Current versions of this program will be avaliable for download
- from my BBS 1:3640/13 (1-912-882-9215) 2400 BAUD or at 1:3640/5
- (1-912-882-0755) HST v32bis/14,400. Please let me know how you like
- this program and if you feel it is worthy of it, you may donate money
- to me!
-
- FUTURE VERSIONS:
-
- New versions will POSSIBLY support Binkley and other mailers and
- maybe even other BBS packages, but I doubt it as I LOVE RA and FD.
- Maybe if enough of you BEG me too, I will.
