We didn't like all the different utils we needed,to do exactly the same as what we can do now with RegView/Door. Furthermore were all these programs very expensive to register so there the plan was born for the developing of RegView/Door. And here it is, lots of options for only 1 price !! If you installed everything well you don't have to check your userbase so often anymore, just to upgrade your users, but thats done in a minute ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ THE FILE LIST ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ REGVIEW.EXE Sysop userbase program and downgrade eventprogram REGDOOR.EXE Registration door REGPACK.EXE Packen,deleten,etc...

C:\RA\REGVIEW) run the program REGSETUP. The folowing menu pops up [ 1 ] Change questions Dutch [ 2 ] Change questions English [ 3 ] Setup msg's to users [ 4 ] Fill in your key [ 5 ] System/Program Info If you choose option 1 you'll get a screen where you can change the other questions for the user, Question 1 till 6 are allready made for you. You can't change these questions. The Flags & Levels settings have to be the same as the settings in CONFIG.RA (menu Options > New user). Eg. Level 1 Flags A X------ Flags B ------- Flags C ------- Flags D ------- In this example Flag 1 and Level 1 has been set. Use this setting in the TOP menu to start RegDoor,further in the doc. you see how. If you start RegDoor with level and/or flag you can now change the flags from RegDoor, after the user answered the questions RegDoor changes the flags as you wish. (Of course every flagsetting is correct.) If the user hangs up in the door the flagsettings remain the same, and every time this user logs in RegDoor starts, until he answered the questions as you wish. The last thing you have to setup is the language nr. If in RA Language 1 is dutch choose 1, if language 1 is English choose 2. With "SPACE" you can set the line Escape=Ready or Escape=Klaar for RegDoor. The same goes for option 2, the english questions. Except the line where you set de language nr because you allready did that in the dutch part. ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ SETUP MESSAGE TO USER ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ With this option you can choose the message area where RegView has to put the msg's to the user.

MSG : YES/NO SWAPPING : XMS/EMS of both * These files are important if you want to warn and downgrade members of your board automatically. RegView can write a msg when a user have to pay again. If the user doesn't pay RegView can automatically downgrade the user. To use this option you have to fill in the date when the membership ends on the SUB DATE field. If the current date is the same as the sub date of the user RegView can write a msg and downgrade the user to 'Normal User' level. ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ INSTALLATION DOORPROGAM IN REMOTE ACCESS ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Edit the TOPMENU and insert the following line. ╒═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Edit Menu Item ╕ │ │ │ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 │ │ 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345 │ │ ; │ │ │ │ C:\RA\REGDOOR\REGDOOR.EXE [parameters] -N*N *M │ │ │ │ Action Execute sub-program (Type 7) │ │ Display │ │ OptData │ │ HotKey │ │ AutoExec Yes │ │ Colour Colour example │ │ │ │ MinSec 0 TimeUsed 0 FlatCost 0 │ │ MaxSec 0 TimeLeft 0 TimeCost 0 │ │ A flags X------- Age 0 Terminal Any │ │ B flags -------- MinSpeed 0 Nodes │ │ C flags -------- MaxSpeed 0 Groups │ │ D flags -------- Credit 0 DayTimes │ │ │ │ │ ╘═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ In this example RegDoor starts if a user has the A1 flag set !! ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ PARAMETERS FOR REGDOOR ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ You can start RegDoor with some parameters, down here is an explanation. -JUSTENG With this parameter you'll force RegDoor to use the English language. -ALL With this parameter the user has to answer ALL questions, default is only to answerthe Name,Adress,City,ZipCode,Phonenr and Date of Birth -NOCHANGE With this parameter RegDoor doesn't update the EXITINFO.BBS file, only the database file of RegView will be updated ! If you have a multiline BBS you'll need the parameter -N*N to tell RegDoor on what line the user is. You don't need this parameter on Single-Line BBS'es -NOTNEW This parameter can be used to give existing users the possibility to change their answers. So you can put RegDoor in every menu you want. With this parameter another set of ANSI files will be used !!! CHGCO.ANS Startscreen for users (color screen) ENDCHGCO.ANS Endscreen for users (color screen) CHGMO.ANS Startscreen for users (mono screen) ENDCHGMO.ANS Endscreen for users (mono screen) ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ USAGE OF THE ANSI SCREENS ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ For each language of RA you have a different directory where you put all the screens of this language, in this directory you'll put all the ANSI's of RegView/Door NEWCO.ANS Startscreen for new users (color screen) ENDNEWCO.ANS Endscreen for new users (color screen) NEWMO.ANS Startscreen for new users (mono screen) ENDNEWMO.ANS Endscreen for new users (mono screen) CHGCO.ANS Startscreen for existing users (color screen) ENDCHGCO.ANS Endscreen for existing users (color screen) CHGMO.ANS Startscreen for existing users (monoscreen) ENDCHGMO.ANS Endscreen for existing users (mono screen) You can easily change these screens or make new ones with an ANSI editor like TheDraw or A3E. You cannot change the names of the files so beware that you use the same names as the example files !! If you don't place these ANSI's in the lang.dir. of RA RegDoor will use default screens. If you have made any nice screens send us a copy ! ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ THE SYSOP UTIL REGVIEW ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ After you've installed RegDoor (correctly) you can go on to the user editor There's no need for an extra installation because RegView uses the same configuration file as RegDoor and the userbase of RA. You will get exactly the same screen as the user except with some sysop options. If you push F1 you will get a help screen and I think everything will be clear to you. RegView also has some parameters. ENG - Use the English screen except from the Dutch DOWNGRADE - Downgrade user and write a msg to this user. Example msg has been made for you, you can edit this file to you own needs. WARNXXX - Write a warning msg to the user that his membership on the BBS will end in XXX days. Example msg has been made for you, you can edit this file to you own needs. MONO - Force Mono screens COLOR - Force color At the end of the doc you can find an example to downgrade and warn users from within an event. ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ THE REGPACK UTIL ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ You can put this util in an event so your userbase keeps up to date automatically Start REGPACK ? and you will see the following parameters. KILLx - Eliminate users from the userbase who didn't call the BBS for x day's Eg : REGPACK KILL100 will eliminate users who didn't call for 100 days inpedendant of their sec.level. Btw. Users with the NoKill status will never be deleted !! LEVELx - You can use this one only in combination with KILLx. You eliminate users except users with level x and higher Eg : REGPACK KILL100 LEVEL50 This will eliminate all users who didn't call for 100 days except users with a level of 50 and higher. RA - Pack the userbase of RA, you have to do this if you deleted users from RA. A new index will be created automatically. REG - Pack the database of RegView/Door, you have to do this if you deleted users from RegView/Door. A new index will be created automatically. BOTH - Pack the userbase of RA and the databae of RegView/Door. New indexes will be created automatically. INDEX - Creates a new index for RA GENIDX - Creates a new index for RegView/Door LASTREAD - Recreates a LASTREAD file. Watch it !! Only use this paramater if absolutely necessary, all you lastread pointers will be reset to 0 !! CLEAN - Cleans up the database of RegView/Door only use this option if you accidently packed your users.bbs with another util as regpack. this option is very slow because he has to search for each entry if it also exists in users.bbs, normally you don't need this option. NOLOG [ registered users only] - Doesn't write in the logfile of ra NOBAK [ registered users only] - Don't leave bakfiles after packing. NOCOUNT [ registered users only] - Don't show counter when running, this can increase the speed of regpack LOG=x [ registered users only] - Place the logfile of regpack in a different file then the logfile of ra, you have to give thw whole path+filename Eg. LOG=C:\RA\REGPACK.LOG CSF [ registered users only] - Creates a comma separated file, you can import this file in dbase programs. the file is called regview.csv normally the name, adress, zipcode, city, phonenr and date of borth are placed in the file but with the switch -all you can put all the data of RegView/Door in the file VERBOSE - Use verbose logging (whole names) ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ BATCH FILE EXAMPLE ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Here a little example of how you can use RegPack in an event. :LOOP FD.EXE : : If errorlevel 50 goto REGDOOR : : :REGDOOR C:\REGDOOR\REGVIEW.EXE DOWNGRADE C:\REGDOOR\REGVIEW.EXE WARN60 C:\REGDOOR\REGPACK.EXE KILL200 LEVEL50 VERBOSE C:\REGDOOR\REGPACK.EXE BOTH NOBAK GOTO LOOP - END OF DOC - LASTNOTE: We've spend a lot of time on this program for testing and developing.
