The RUFC-package is supplied "as is". The author is not responsible for any
damages that may happen while using RUFC. He also does not claim that this
program will do everything your heart desires. Only sure thing is that it
will consume a small part of your disk space.
RUFC has been developed on a 486DX2-66 and is running on a 386-33 multi-node
BBS platform running under Desqview with SHARE loaded. Please make *sure*
that RA is not running while you are using RUFC, or your USERS.BBS may/will be
corrupted.
The RUFC-package is copyrighted 1993 by Jojo Sybico. All rights are reserved.
You're encouraged to give away the packet to friends and to upload it to other
BBSes. It is forbidden to modify it and to give it away without all its
support files and/ or the copyright notices.

│ What's RUFC? │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
RUFC is a program that I wrote when I shifted from SuperBBS to RA 2.00 gamma-1
and I needed a global user-flag changer for it. I tried TFC but it would only
change one user-flag at a time. I use only one CD-ROM drive with multiple
disks and use the Dx user-flag to control file group access. I needed to turn
off one D-flag and turn on another D-flag. I got fed up running TFC twice
everytime so I decided to write this utility.
RUFC runs in a multitasking environment but doesn't give away time-slices
because there's really no need. Again, make sure that RA is not running in
another window or you might risk damaging your USERS.BBS file.

RUFC RA 2.00 User Flags Changer v1.00
Copyright (c) 1993 by Jojo Sybico, All Rights Reserved
Command line syntax:
RUFC <security> <flag><+/->
<security> of the users you want to change flags (0 for all)
<flag> A, B, C, D, A1, A2 ... D7, D8
<flag> + turns flag on, - turns flag off
Examples: RUFC 0 A-
Switches all A flags off for all users
RUFC 0 A- A1+
Switches all A flags off then A1 flag on for all users
RUFC 10 A- B1+ C1-
Switches all A flags off then B1 flag on
then C1 flag off for all level 10 users
<security> specify the security level of the users you want to toggle the
flags. Enter '0' (without the quotes) if you want the changes to
apply to all the users regardless of security.
<flag> can be A, B, C, D for toggling whole user-flag banks on/off
can be individual user-flags (i.e. A1, A2, A3 ... D6, D7, D8) if
you just want to toggle individual user-flags.
<+/-> + turns the specified flag on
- turns it off
Note: there must be no spaces between the flag and the + or -
You can specify multiple flags to be toggled on or off. The parameters are
processed sequentially from left to right.
If there is an error, your userfile will remain unaltered. Your old userfile
(if the execution if successful) will always be saved in USERS.OLD. If for
some reason there should be a Runtime Error, you should be able to find your
userfile unaltered as USERS.BBS. If not, it should be in the USERS.OLD file.
Inform me right away if this is not so.
Below is the file processing routine of RUFC:
1. opens USERS.BBS for input
2. opens USERS.$$$ for output
3. processes the user-flag changes
4. closes the input/output files
5. deletes USERS.OLD if it exists
6. renames USERS.BBS to USERS.OLD
7. renames USERS.$$$ to USERS.BBS
Prudence dictates that you backup your USERS.BBS before running RUFC until
such a time that you feel that it runs according to what you think it should
run.

I wrote this for every RA 2.00 sysop who wanted to change the user-flags from
the command line.

- to my wife, Gina, who happened to be in Manila while I was writing this
program, enabling me to stay up half the night to write the program and
another half a night to write the docs

another RA user-flag changer
