Remote Access Remote User Editor.
v 1.11
(c) 1990 J.Berends.
General:
The Remote Access Remote User Editor (Rarue) was written because at the
time I started my BBS there was not one good Remote user editor, which
could edit ALL fields from the user record. So I decided to write my
own user editor. This resulted in the files you have just extracted from
the archive file. I hope you enjoy using it. Any questions, bugs or
whatever can be directed to: Jan Berends

Installation:
RARUE.EXE can reside in any directory you choose. RARUE.EXE uses the dos
environement variable RA to locate your CONFIG.RA file. CONFIG.RA is being
used to find out where the file USERS.BBS resides.
For installation of colors and the additional information file you need
to use the SETUP.EXE file.
The file with the aditional informating can be the logfile created by
REGDOOR.EXE, or any other file, as long as the line with the users full name
starts with an *. This line must be the first of the info about that user.
How it works:
Rarue.exe looks for an EXITINFO.BBS in the directory from which is was
executed. When it doesn't find this file, it asumes to run be run in
local operation. If RARUE finds EXITINFO.BBS, then it expects one
parameter: the portnumber to use, 1 for com1, 2 for com2, etc.
For cursor manipulation is ANSI.SYS being used, so Rarue.exe will NOT run
properly without ANSI.SYS or some other ansi program installed.
From RA a tipical call to Rarue would be:
C:\RA\RARUE.EXE *P
Notes:
1. Anybody using RARUE can NOT change his own settings when using RARUE
remote. In local operation (when no EXITINFO.BBS) is available, all
users can be edited.
2. A user can only view and edit users with security levels less than
or equal to his own.
All functions but three are self-explaining. These three function are a
little more complex than the other.
Search and Report are two functions which need a little more information
from you than the other functions. The input for Search and Report are
almost identically so I only need to explain one of both.
Search: When you activate the search option. You will be prompted with the
SearchItem prompt. You can then press one of the keys corresponding to a
field as you would do when editing this field. The following four field
types are available:
-When you select a String type field (such as name) you only need to enter
the string to search for.
-When you select a Value type field (such as level), you first need to enter
a value. Next you have to enter the compare option. ">" for all users with
that particular field larger than the entered value, "=' for all users
with that field equal to the entered value, and "<" for all users with that
field less than the entered value.
-When you select a Flag type field you first need to enter what flag you
wish to use. Next you have to enter the flag mask. Then you have to select
whether a user should have these flags (And), or whether a user shoud not
have these flags (Not).
-When you select an Attribute type field you only have to enter whether that
flag has to be On or Off.
You can enter up to 10 search items. To stop entering the search items you
have to use the "Q".
With the Report option you first need to enter the same fields you have to
enter with the search option. These search options will be reported at the
top of your report file. Next you have to enter the Report options. These
options will be reported in your report file after the username.
In the Search and Report the option "*" is available for searches based
on the last date the user was logged on.
Macro: When you activate the macro option you are prompted for a macroname.
This macroname points to a specific part in the macro file. This file is
a text file which has the following format:
Macroname macro1
Flags A X-I---OX
Security 100
Netmailcredit 1000
Nokill
IgnoreDl
Macroname macro2
etc. etc.
These lines can be in any order as long as a macro block starts with the
macroname keyword. All keywords MUST start at the first position of a line.
The next keywords are available:
-Macroname : Tells RARUE the name of this macro
-Security : Tells RARUE the new security
-Netmailcredit : Tells RARUE the new Netmail credit
-Nokill : Tells RARUE to set the No Kill flag ON
-IgNoreDl : Tells RARUE to set the Ignore Download flag ON
-Flags : Tells RARUE to set a specific flag. The flag is the second
option on the line. The next option is the flagmask.
X : set flag ON
- : set flag OFF
I : ignore flag
O : XOR flag
