- Date released 03-22-90

- Copyright '88 '89 '90 Ronald J. Bryant
- Portions copyright Microsoft Corp.
- Portions copyright Thomas Hanlin III
- (program uses the GETCRT.OBJ and EXIST.OBJ files in ADVBAS99.ZIP)
-
- Purpose:
-
- 1. To aid RBBS system operators in finding out who uploaded
- a particular program, especially commercial programs, so
- appropriate actions can be taken. Actually, the program
- will search for any string.
-
- 2. To enable sysops to browse through the callers file.
-
-
- This program was written using Microsofts Quick Basic compiler (ver 4.5).
- It was written for RBBS 17.3A but should work with any version as long as
- the callers file uses 64 byte records. The program is relatively slow in
- in searching for a string, especially when you are searching 3,000 records
- and the matching string is in the last record. The program does not use
- any assembly routines, although I may use them in a future version to
- speed things up a bit.
-
-
- Starting the program:
-
- The callers file and WUW.EXE must be in the same directory.
- Starting with version 1.4 support for monochrome monitors was
- added. Prior to this version, the program was written specifically
- for color monitors.
-
-
-
- Main menu option #1:
-
- Search for a string:
-
- Input the string to search for or press the Enter key to
- return to the main menu. The search is case sensitive.
- WUW.EXE will search the entire callers file for the
- string. When the string is found, the scrolling will
- stop. The target string will be shown on the bottom
- of the screen (in yellow). Press any key and the text
- will start scrolling again until it reaches the end of
- the file or another string is found. When the end of
- the file is reached, scrolling will stop. Press any
- key to return to the main menu.
- Option #1 goes through the entire callers file from the
- last record to the first and displays the callers file
- while searching through it.
-
-
- Main menu option #2:
-
- Browse callers file:
- This will allow you to browse through the callers file, forward
- or backward using the following keys:
-
- Home = displays the last 23 entries in the callers file.
- End = displays the first 23 entries in the callers file.
- PgUp = shows the next 23 entries in the callers file.
- PgDn = shows the previous 23 entries in the callers file.
- Up arrow = shows the next entry in the callers file.
- Dn arrow = shows the previous entry in the callers file.
- Esc, Q, or q will return you to the main menu.
-
-
- Main menu last option:
-
- Esc = quit:
-
- Pressing Esc, Q, q, X, x or 3 will clear the screen, close the
- callers file, and return to DOS.

- Revision History:
-
- 03-22-90 Ver 1.6
- Bug reported and fixed. WUW would not read a large CALLERS file.
- WUW used integer variables within the program. The number of records
- in the callers file therefore could not exceed 32,767. This limited
- the size of the callers file to 2,097,088 bytes. The program now
- uses long integer variables. The number of records in the callers
- file is now limited to 2,147,483,647. The size of the callers
- file is now limited to 137,438,953,400 bytes. Any mainframes out
- there running RBBS-PC ? This version has been tested with a 3.5
- megabyte callers file. That's 55,000 lines in the callers file.
- This bug was reported by Seth Jacobs.
-
- 08-01-89 Ver 1.5
- For people who use the search option on a monochrome monitor, a small
- diamond symbol will appear to the left of the line which matches the
- search string. Just a little eye catcher.
- The /M switch is gone. Internal code now determines which type of
- monitor you are using (color or monochrome) and gives you the
- correct type of menu.
-
- 06-01-89 Ver 1.4
- Added support for the monochrome monitor with the /M command line
- switch. No more funny looking screen on monochrome monitors.
- The default is still the color monitor. For monochrome monitors
- start the program as follows: WUW14 /M
-
- 03-01-89 Ver 1.3
- If a file was uploaded to the SysOp, WUW would not show the file
- description in the callers file. The filename would be the last line
- on the screen. This has been fixed now, the filename description is
- now the last line on the screen and the filename is the second from
- the last line on the screen.
- Added date and time clock to lower left of main menu screen.
- Checks to see if CALLERS file exists. If it does not exist, then the
- program exits to DOS.
- Added error trapping. If an error occurs, then the error number and
- line are printed.
-
- 02-01-89 Ver 1.2
- In previous versions, browsing the callers file started with a blank
- screen, now the most recent 23 entries are shown.
-
- 01-01-89 Ver 1.1
- Fixed bug. Appending callers files caused a file length not evenly
- divisable by 64. Minor change to main menu. Escape key used more
- often to return to the main menu.
-
- 12-01-88 Ver 1.0
- Initial release.
