- --- DISCLAIMER
-
- This software is being released as FREEWARE. Anyone can use it for anything
- they want. It is not guaranteed to do anything but take up space on your
- disk. If you break it you own both parts. I am not responsible for
- anything. If you do not believe that, just ask my kids.

- ---------
- --- ABOUT
-
- SetFlag is a simple little program that will toggle user flags in your
- RemoteAccess USERS.BBS file from the DOS command line. I needed a quick and
- dirty way to do this so I wrote this program in an afternoon. It's no speed
- demon and it isn't pretty but it seems to work fine on my system. Maybe it
- will work on yours.
-
-
- ---------
- --- FIRST
-
- You should first place SETFLAG.EXE in some directory already in your PATH
- and change to the directory containing your USERS.BBS file. If you go ahead
- and type SetFlag, you will hear the BEEP and see a brief summary for the
- Command Line Syntax.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- ----------
- --- SYNTAX
-
- The syntax for using SetFlag is as follows:
-
- SetFlag {-|/}parameters [{-|/}switches]
-
- where parameters are required on the command line. The supported parameters
- are:
-
- <flagnum> a1..d8 RA User Flags
- ON|OFF turn flags ON or OFF
- ? display HELP screen
-
- Switches are optional and tell Setflag to process one and only one user
- record. Running Setflag with no switches will change ALL USERS' flags in
- your USERS.BBS file. The supported switches are:
-
- -R<recordnumber> specific record number
-
- -N<user_name> specific User's name (*note)
-
- (*note - the first and last name should be separated with an
- underscore _ )
-
-
- You may preface both parameters and switches with a dash (-) or frontslash
- (/) character.
-
-
- Some examples are:
-
- SetFlag b4 on
- turns the b4 flag on for ALL users
-
- setflag A7 OFF
- turns the a7 flag OFF for all users
-
- setflag d8 on -nCabell_Clarke
- turns the D8 flag on for user Cabell Clarke ONLY!
-
- setflag off -r0 d8
- turns the d8 flag off for user #0
-
- setflag ?
- displays a brief HELP screen
-
-
- That's all it is to it. There is very limited error-checking to save code
- space and you should remember to change to the directory containing your
- USERS.BBS file since Setflag will not look anywhere else for it.
-
-
- ---------
- --- FLAGS
-
- In case you were wondering about conventions (and I know you were):
-
- ON = TRUE = X
- OFF = FALSE = -
