SUBDATE.EXE
-----------
SUBDATE.EXE resets the file counters to zero via subdate.q-a of
the caller that is currently logged onto your RA bbs.
We wanted a way of rewarding those callers that contributed to our
bbs. Therefore we set up a ASSOCIATE MEMBER security level of 50.
We granted a level 60 caller ratio-fee downloads and increased an
increased daily allotment of time. This of course is done by RA'S
limits.ctl file.
We use SEC50.A?? to advise the caller that s/he is an associate
member and that the membership expires on mm/dd/yy in nn days.
This is simply done with RA'S embedded text file codes.
We also use SUBDATE.Q-A that, in our case reset the callers security
level to 30.
The problem came in when the person who downloaded files ratio free
for one year was suddenly subject to our 1:5 file ratio. We had
to manually edit the file counters to zero...
This is where subdate.exe comes in. It simply resets the file counters
in users.bbs to zero, via subdate.q-a
Subsequently the entire subscription expiration process is totally
automated.
Include is our subdate.q-a file, our sec50.* files and our expired.*
screen and of course subdate.exe
This program has worked fine on our single node bbs for several
months but was not tested on any other systems, so use it at your
own risk.
This package can be freely distributed so long as it is not modified
or sold for profit. If you find that this program is valuable, all
we ask is that you send me netmail at 1:2609/7 telling me so.
Subdate.exe and subdate.q-a belong in your bbs system directory
and the other files in your textfile directory.
