CONVERT.DOC for the Convert.EXE program.
*********************************************
* MORE INFO on FORCED LOGS:
*
* Says for example that you just started using IconUpdater and
* would like to force your BBS Membership file on all your users EXCEPT
* those you are already members. If you have WCPRO utilities then doing
* so will be easy.
*
* Remember that IconUpDater will not Force a File on a user if his
* name is in that Force file Log. So say that you have IconupDater set
* up with the 1st definable menu option as RIPterm; then you most likely
* do not want to force RIPterm on your users. But you have your Member-
* ship DOCs set as IconUpDater's definable menu option #2 (FORCEDB.LOG).
*
* Run WCpro select USERS then do a MATCH on all users who are MEMBERS.
* Then create a LIST; choose list by USER NAME only; then set output as
* "COMMA DELIMITED"; and last name the file (FORCEDB.LOG) and F10.
*
* I would look at this new file you just create with a text editor to
* insure that it is a list of your MEMBERS.
*
* Now run the program that came with IconUpDater called "CONVERT.EXE".
* This program will convert the file you jsut created in WCpro to a
* format that IconUpdater can read.
*
* * * * It will ask you to enter the filename of the file you just
* * * * created in WCpro. Then it will ask you to enter the name of
* * * the output file. It will default to ForcedB.log if you hit
* * return. REMEMBER that Forced.log is for the first menu option,
* * and ForcedB.log is for the second menu option!!!
*
* Now IconUpDater will check this file before running; and will not
* Force the File under menu option #2 to any user list in ForcedB.Log;
* or it will not Force a file under menu option #1 if the user's name
* is in the Forced.log.
*
* If you have questions, please call during the posted hours below.
