- Quick and Short UserList Converter Instructions: (by N Hawthorn 11/15/91)
-
- This program was created by N Hawthorn.
-
- It's the program I used to convert my Hermes Userlist (Hermes "Shared" file) over
- to MUBBS when I started using MUBBS.
-
- It's not guarenteed to do anything, it might crash. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !
-
- You have source, so you can make it do whatever you want it to !
-
- Use it on a COPY of your file(s) !
-
- It worked for me, and the source code is included on the MUBBS support BBS so you
- can change it to read other BBS formats if you wish !
-
- Any user levels ABOVE 10 were set to 10. In MUBBS our users levels are 1 to 20. (20
- is sysop). New users are set to 1.
-
- I have seen where it makes SOME names shorter than they should be. I don't know why
- and I don't care. It works real good on my 500 names, and only one name got screwed
- up (mine!).
-
- The "users" file is a text file, so you can print it out to a printer and look
- over your list of users.
-
- You should use something like EDIT to edit the file. make sure your LENGTHS are
- correct after editing.
-
- NOT THIS:
-
- Jack Jones ~
- MY PASSWORD ~
- 12345 Street ~
-
-
- DO THIS:
-
- Jack Jones ~
- MY PASSWORD ~
- 12345 Street ~
-
-
- The "return" character is in the same spot on each line! This is important. You
- need to add spaces or take them out as needed. (the example above is NOT the
- correct amount of characters, look at a actual users file).
