- INTRODUCTION
-
- Overview
-
- RAEXITCV is as simple to use as the size of it is. Just start it up from
- where ever you want, and just make sure there is an EXITINFO.BBS available
- in the current directory and it will just do it's work.
-
-
- SHAREWARE version
-
- Systems that qualify for this category must be physically run from a non-
- commercial site. A site is considered to be non-commecial only if it a
- private residence at which no commercial activities are conducted.
-
-
- Versions
-
- There are two versions of RAEXITCV, the shareware version and the registered
- version. The registered version contains a number of additional enhancements
- including internal password usage, internal execute module etc.
-
- If you like this program and you have used it for 30 days then you must
- register RAEXITCV. When you register the program, the internal password
- will be set to any password you wish with a maximal length of 15 characters
- and also the commercial version of RAEXITCV has an internal execute module.
-
- The internal execute module gives you the advantages that no batch file has
- to be created to run you favorite program. To run an executable program
- within RAEXITCV you add an extra parameter, namely /E, followed by the name
- and path of the program you wish to execute and it's parameters. RAEXITCV
- will first convert EXITINFO.BBS to the OLD version, run the executable
- program and then convert the OLD EXITINFO.BBS back to the NEW one.
- (For registration, see RAEXITCV.REG file).

- INSTALLATION
-
- Installation
-
- Just put the file RAEXITCV.EXE in the directory where you have all your
- favorite RA utils.
-
- Make sure the user is always standing in the directory where the
- EXITINFO.BBS has been created by RA before starting up "RAEXITCV.EXE O"
- and that the user is back in that directory before starting up
- "RAEXITCV.EXE N".
-
- Now add in any batch file that starts a program up that needs the old
- EXITINFO.BBS the following commands:
-
- If the program you wish to use can be started up from anywhere:
-
- C:\RA\UTILS\RAEXITCV.EXE O
- C:\YOUR\PROGRAM\THAT\NEEDS\AN\OLD\EXITINFO\VERSION.EXE
- C:\RA\UTILS\RAEXITCV.EXE N
-
- If the program you wish to use can only be started up from it's own
- directory:
-
- C:\RA\UTILS\RAEXITCV.EXE O
- CD C:\YOUR\PROGRAM\THAT\NEEDS\AN\OLD\EXITINFO
- C:\YOUR\PROGRAM\THAT\NEEDS\AN\OLD\EXITINFO\VERSION.EXE
- CD C:\RA\RA1
- C:\RA\UTILS\RAEXITCV.EXE N
-
- If the program you wish to use can only be started up from it's own
- directory and you are working on a multiline system (don't forget to add
- *N as parameter so that the batch file can get back to the starting
- directory):
-
- C:\RA\UTILS\RAEXITCV.EXE O
- CD C:\YOUR\PROGRAM\THAT\NEEDS\AN\OLD\EXITINFO
- C:\YOUR\PROGRAM\THAT\NEEDS\AN\OLD\EXITINFO\VERSION.EXE
- CD C:\RA\RA%1
- C:\RA\UTILS\RAEXITCV.EXE N

- * WARNING *
-
- What can't be converted from the
- OLD EXITINFO.BBS back to the NEW EXITINFO.BBS
-
-
- * While converting the EXITINFO.BBS from the old version 1.10 / 1.11 *
- * to the NEW version 2.00 all data that can't be converted will be *
- * copied back from the EXITINFO.BBS that is temporarily renamed to *
- * EXITINFO.N$$. Thanks to this file, no data will be LOST. *
-
-
- - Password:
- - This can't be converted from the version 2.00 to 1.10 / 1.11 because the
- version 2.00 doesn't "hold" the actual string but a CRC number of the
- string. Therefore we are giving the old version a temporary password and
- this will be "RAEXITCV". If your door does something with the users
- password you must warn the user that while he/she is in the door he/she
- must use the password "RAEXITCV" and as soon as he/she is back in RA
- he/she can use his/her own password again.
-
- - DataPhone:
- - This can't be converted from the version 2.00 to 1.10 / 1.11 because
- the length of the string in version 2.00 is 3 characters longer than in
- version 1.10 / 1.11.
-
- - VoicePhone:
- - The same as DataPhone.
-
- - Credit:
- - This can't be converted from the version 2.00 to 1.10 / 1.11 because
- the 'type' are different which means that you will loose some infor-
- mation.
