- The TFC-package is supplied "as is". The author doesn't guarantee that the
- program will satisfy your needs and he can't be held responsable for any
- direct or indirect damages that may occur by using TFC. I only guarantee that
- TFC will eat up some diskspace.
-
- TFC has been tested with a 486DX-33, with and without DesqView 2.42. It runs
- under DesqView, but it is recommended that you load Share. And *please*
- temporarily deactivate your RA while running it, or your USERS.BBS may/will be
- corrupt.
-
- The TFC-package, all the programs, the documentation and the support files are
- copyrighted 1993 by Manuel Wenger. All rights are reserved. You're encouraged
- to give away the packet to friends and to upload it to other BBSes. But it's
- forbidden to modify it and to give it away without all its support files and/
- or the copyright notices.
-
- In NO WAY the program may be modified. It's also forbidden to disassemble,
- reverse-engineer (or similar) the software in the TFC-package.
-
- Ok, that's it with the legal stuff. Let's look at more interesting things:

- ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
-
- TFC is a program that I wrote as soon as RA 2.00.g1 released, because I needed
- a global user-flag changer for my new BBS software.
-
- TFC runs in a multitasking environment but doesn't give away time-slices
- because there's really no need (it takes only a few seconds to run).

- │ ░░░░ What do you need to use it? ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ │
- ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
-
- To user TFC you need the following things:
-
- 1) An MS-DOS (or similar) compatible PC (XT/AT/286/386/486/Pentium/etc)
- 2) A BBS running under RemoteAccess 2.00
-
- TFC doesn't run with RA Versions earlier to 2.00.

- │ ░░░░ Installation ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ │
- ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
-
- Well...you don't need to install anything. Just copy TFC.EXE to your RA
- messagebase directory (where your FILES.BBS resides).
-
-
- ╒══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╕
- │ ░░░░ How does it work? ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ │
- ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
-
- Easy!
- Start it with TFC to have a help screen (like all other RA utils).
-
-
- ■ Command-line syntax:
-
- TFC [flag] [level] [ON|OFF]
-
- Examples: TFC D5 10 ON
- Switches the flag D5 on to all level 10 users
-
- TFC A1 0 OFF
- Switches the flag A1 off to all users
-
-
- Specify which flag to toggle in the [flag] field.
-
- Specify which level the users you want to toggle the flag must have in the
- [level] field (in the future you'll also be able to toggle flags to users
- based upon other criteria if I have enough requests, but at the moment I
- needed only this).
-
- Specify if you want to toggle the flag ON or OFF in the [ON|OFF] field.
-
- As you can see, you must specify level 0 to change the flags to *all* users.
-
- If there is an error (eg. if you run TFC using RA 1.11), your userfile will
- remain inaltered. Your old userfile (if the execution if successful) will
- always be saved in USERS.OLD. If for some reason there should be a Runtime
- Error, you should be able to find your userfile in USERSTMP.$$$ if it isn't
- in USERS.OLD or USERS.BBS. Please tell me this immediately if it happens.
-
- As usual, I reccommend you to backup your Userbase before using TFC.

- ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
-
- Nope, there's no need for registration. TFC is freeware! I wrote this for
- all the other sysops like me that are missing some utils because of the switch
- to RA 2.00.
-
- Anyway, if you like the program, you can send me a postcard of your city :-)
