THIS PROGRAM WAS WRITTEN FOR USE WITH RBBS-PC VER.12.2
KENT GALBRAITH KINGWOOD TEXAS 77051
713-360-1316 (DATA)
THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES THE WAY TO CREATE YOUR SECURE FILES PUTTING
FILENAME.EXT SECURITY CODE AND PASSWORD WHICH IS OPTIONAL BEING
AWARE THAT A LOT OF RBBS-PC SYSOPS ARE RUNNING LARGE STORAGE DEVICES
I DECIDED THAT IT WAS ESSENTIAL THAT A METHOD BE USED THAT WOULD ALLOW
THE FLEXIBILITY FOR THE LARGE SYSTEM USER AND ALSO THE SMALL SYSTEM
USER THERE BEING ON THE MARKET MANY DIFFERENT WORD PROCESSING SYSTEMS
SOME OF WHICH ADD DIFFERENT CONTROL CHARACTERS TO FILES CREATED WITH
THEM A METHOD WAS NEEDED SO ALL FILES TO BE READ WITH RBBS WOULD BE
SIMILAR AND AVOID THE PROBLEMS WHICH CAN OCCUR WITH THE SECURE FILE
HAVING THE EXTRA CHARACTERS IMBEDDED WITHIN.
THIS PROGRAM CREATES A FILE NAMED SECURE WHICH WILL CONTAIN THE FILE
NAMES AND THE SECURITY NUMBER ASSIGNED TO EACH ALSO A PASSWORD FOR
THAT FILE IF DESIRED IN A FORMAT THAT RBBS CAN READ.
A SECOND FILE IS CREATED WHICH IS SECURE.ISI THIS FILE CONTAINS THE
INDEX AND RECORD COUNT FOR SECURE AS A RESULT YOU MAY PUT AS MANY
FILES AND SECURITY CODES AS YOU LIKE IN THE SECURE FILE AND THEN
BACKUP FIND SEARCH AND CHANGE THE PARAMETERS ON ALL THOSE FILES
WHICH MEANS THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REWRITE THE FILE EACH TIME
YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE PARAMETERS SUCH AS A DELETED FILE OR A FILE
THAT YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE PASSWORD ON OR CHECK TO SEE IF YOU HAVE
INCLUDED THAT FILE IN YOUR LIST.
THIS PROGRAM CAN BE USED ALSO TO CREATE YOUR GROUP PASSWORD FILE
WITH THE SAME RESULTS.
I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE A NEW DISK AND ENTITLE IT UTIL DISK
USE THIS PROGRAM TO CREATE YOUR SECURE FILE AND THE SECURE.ISI FILE
WHEN YOU HAVE CREATED THE SECURE FILE SIMPLY COPY IT TO YOUR RBBS DISK
AND SAVE THE DISK WITH SECURE.INS ON IT WHEN YOU NEED TO MAKE CHANGES
SIMPLY COPY THE SECURE FILE BACK TO THE DISK WITH THE PROGRAM AND THE
SECURE INS ON IT AND MAKE NECESSARY CHANGES AND COPY BACK TO RBBS.
