- Introduction
- ------------
-
- If you've just hosed your SYSINFO.BBS file or recently switched
- to RemoteAccess from another BBS program, you may want to reset
- the number of total system calls the BBS reports. This utility
- will quickly, easily and safely re-create this information for
- you.
-
-
- -----------
- Quick Start
- -----------
-
- CAUTION: If you have an existing SYSINFO.BBS file, make a backup
- copy before running SYSCALLS!
-
- SYSCALLS can get the path to the RemoteAccess system directory,
- where the SYSINFO.BBS file should be stored, by reading the
- environment variable set to "RA".
-
- If SYSCALLS cannot find the "RA" environment variable, it looks
- in the current directory for a SYSINFO.BBS file.
-
- If the SYSINFO.BBS file doesn't exist, it will attempt to re-create
- a new one for you.
-
- The syntax for SYSCALLS is as follows:
-
- SYSCALLS calls ["username"]
-
- calls is the new number of total system calls. You may
- input any interger number from 0 to 2,147,483,647.
-
- "username" is an optional argument specifying the new lastcaller
- to the system. Enclose the username in quotes. If
- you do not specify a username, the old username will
- remain. If you're creating a brand new SYSINFO.BBS
- file, and no "username" argument is specified, a
- default name of "System Operator" will be used.
-

-
- SYSCALLS is free for use, abuse or misuse. Please be smart and
- make backups before touching important data files. If you find
- bugs or a case for improvement, I have included the source code so
- you could apply them yourself. If you do make changes, or if
- you'd like to but can't, I'd like to hear from you. Thanks and
- take care.
