- Citadel Convert User Log Utility
-
- This utility reads the current user base and creates a file(one per user)
- which can be used with ADDUSER to re-build the user database. This utility
- allows you to:
- 1) expand the user log size without losing users.
- 2) convert a user log between incompatible versions of Citadel.
-
- Note: using the CVRTLOG and ADDUSER program will result in all the
- messages being new for users and all forgotten rooms being reset.
-
- Operations:
-
- 1) Shut down Citadel(kinda obvious).
- 2) execute CVRTLOG in the home area of your Citadel.
- Each user will get a file created called LOGnnnn.ao.
- 3) Type in the following command:
- c:list log#?.a0 LFORMAT "adduser %s" >ram:script
- 4) Re-build your Citadel, make your User log size changes
- and re-configure. Make user you initialize the User Log
- when you re-configure.
- 5) Execute ram:script. When completed, you will have all the
- user re-entered into the database.
-
- Note: CVRTLOG will correct any user with a terminal width of less
- than 40 to 40, any with a width of more than 80 will be reset
- to 80. This prevents some novice users from having problems.
-
- Users which have forgotten public rooms or have discovered
- hidden rooms will have to do so again... Also all messages
- on the system will be new to them.
-
- WARNING: you should delete the contents of the #BIOAREA and
- the #QWK* areas since the user id numbers will change and these
- will become invalid if you rebuild using this method.
-
- The same applies to the #HOLDAREA.
