Box 131, Wheelersburg, OH 45694 RALSTON is a utility program to scan the system log created by Remote Access BBS and extract the name of the last caller. This name (up to 30 characters) is patched into the LASTCALL.FD record kept by Front Door. By doing this, the system operator can tell at a glance who the last call to his system was from. RALSTON may be executed anywhere on your system so long as the proper path names are passed to the program as command line parameters. Simply type RALSTON, then the full path to SYSTEM.LOG and the full path to LASTCALL.FD and press return to execute the program from DOS. To include RALSTON in a batch file, place it in your batch file just behind the command to return to Front Door after exiting the BBS. Command syntax is: RALSTON C:\RA C:\SUPERBBS\FD └─┬─┘ └─────┬──────┘ │ └── Path to LASTCALL.FD └── Path to SYSTEM.LOG RALSTON was written specifically for Remote Access BBS and FRONT DOOR. It definately won't work on SuperBBS and may not work with QuickBBS or other lookalikes due to minor differences in how the SYSTEM.LOG file is worded. Specific requirements are: - System log must be named "SYSTEM.LOG" - User name for log-in entry must begin in column 24 - The words " on-line at " must appear in the log-in entry and be in LOWER CASE letters. A version of this program for SuperBBS is available from Cross Connect under the file name LAST2FD.LZH. ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ │██████ │██████ │██████ │██████ │██████ ║ ║ │██░░░░░│██░░██░│██░░██░│██░░░░░│██░░░░░ ║ ║ │██░ │██████░│██░ ██░│██████ │██████ ║ ║ │██░ │██░██░░│██░ ██░ │░░░██░ │░░░██░ ║ ║ │██████ │██░ ██ │██████░│██████░│██████░ ║ ║ │░░░░░░ │░░ ░░ │░░░░░░ │░░░░░░ │░░░░░░ ║ ║ ║ ║ │██████ │██████ │██ ██ │██ ██ │██████ │██████ │██████ ║ ║ │██░░░░░│██░░██░│███ ██░│███ ██░│██░░░░░│██░░░░░ │░██░░░║ ║ │██░ │██░ ██░│██░█ ██░│██░█ ██░│████ │██░ ██░ ║ ║ │██░ │██░ ██░│██░ ███░│██░ ███░│██░░░ │██░ ██░ ║ ║ │██████ │██████░│██░ ██░│██░ ██░│██████ │██████ ██░ ║ ║ │░░░░░░ │░░░░░░ │░░ ░░ │░░ ░░ │░░░░░░ │░░░░░░ ░░ ║ ║ ║ ║ Other programs from Cross Connect as of February 1992 ║ ║ ║ ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ BUCCANEER DOOR │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ BUCK210.LZH Buccaneer.
