- Have you ever needed to change more than one of a users flags? Or
- several flags for every user? Tired of running SetFlag (tm) over and over
- to change several flags?
-

-
- SetFlags will allow you set set any or all of a user's flags with
- only one pass. You can also set multiple flags for all users with one
- pass.

-
- SetFlags is very simple to use. All operations are command line
- driven. To use this program just run it from the directory where you keep
- your QuickBBS files. You may use SetFlags as part of a batch file.
-
- The syntax for SetFlags is as follows:
-
- SETFLAGS Mode FlagToken [FlagToken] [FlagToken] [FlagToken]
- Items within the square brackets [] are optional.
-
- Mode - Must be one of the following.
- EXIT - This is used to change the flags of a user who has
- exited the BBS with a type 15 exit. ( Type 7 will
- not work as the EXITINFO.BBS is not reread when the
- BBS starts back up. )
-
- AFTER - This is used to change the flags of the last user
- to log off the BBS.
-
- ALL - This is used to change the flags of ALL users on
- your BBS.
-
-
- FlagToken - The flag token is the same format as is used in the
- QBBS user editor. The token consists of a flag letter
- A - D followed by 8 action identifier symbols.
-
- The following are the valid symbols.
-
- X = Set this flag to ON.
- - = Set this flag to OFF.
- ? = Do not set this flag.
-
- E.g. - SETFLAGS AFTER AX--X???? B----???? C??????-- D--------

-
- I cannot be held responsible for any damages caused by this or any
- other product of mine. I have tested this product on my system for
- several months with no adverse reactions.
-
- In the AFTER and ALL modes, this program alters the USERS.BBS file.
- SetFlags will create a file called USERS.TMP and write the modified user
- information into that file and then, only on a successful operation,
- delete the old USERS.BBS and rename USERS.TMP to USERS.BBS. This should
- prevent a power outage from corrupting your USERS.BBS file.
