LUSER Version 2.1 DOCS This version of Luser allows the cycling on onliners,logon text, and logoff text. In order for these options to work you must have a SCREENS subdirectory in BBS:Node? and a subdirectory ONLINERS within SCREENS. The SCREENS directory should have the following files NLOGONS - This file contains the number of logon scripts you have. This file is optional only if the number of logon screens is specified on the command line. LOGON? - This file contains your Logon on texts you can have as many of these files as you wish. LOGON?.gr - This file is the same as the above with the exception that it holds AnsiColor control codes. NLOGOFFS - This file contains the number of logoff scripts you have. This file is optional only if you specify the number of logoff screens on the commandline. LOGOFF? - Works the same as LOGON? except it will contain your logoff text. LOGOFF?.GR - Works the same as LOGON?.gr except it will contain your logoff text. The ONELINERS directory should have the following files NONELINERS - This file contains the number of oneliners you have. This file is optional only if you supply the number of oneliners in the commandline. ONELINERS - This file contains all of your oneliners which are straight text. ONELINERS.GR- This file contains all of your oneliners with the Ansi Control codes intact. NOTE: Oneliners are appended to the end of the Last Callers list. The BBS:NODE? directory can have the following optional files LuserHeader This is a ASCII text file that contains an opening message to the Last callers list. This file is optional. LuserHeader.gr This is a ANSI Color text file that contains an opening message to the Last Callers list. This file is optional. Usage: LUSER -[I][O][L] [Exclude File] where Callers is the number of last callers you wish to be selected for the output file. Node Num is your Node number OutPutFile is the file you wish the Last callers list to goto.. Note That you must provide a full path. The Exclude File is suppose to be a complete path and file name to an ASCII file containing a list of users you do not wish to show up on the last callers list I - This option tells the utility that you are going to implement the Logon Cycle option. O - This option tells the utility that you are going to implement the Logoff Cycle option. L - This option tells the utility that you are going to implement the OneLiners option. These 3 options may be used together. For example: Luser 10 0 BBS:Node0/Bull15 -IOL This will create a list of at most 10 last callers for node0 and will store this list in BBS:Node0/Bull15.txt and BBS:Node0/Bull15.txt.gr This will also select a random logon,logoff, and oneliner and put them in the BBS:Node0 directory as Logon.txt,Logon.txt.gr,Logoff.txt, and Logoff.txt.gr NOTE: That since I,O, or L do not contain the number of cycles the utility with look for them in the files called NLOGONS, NLOGOFFS, and NONELINERS. If the three options are used for cycling and some of the files are missing this utility will not warn you and will bypass that option. You may specify the number of logons, logoffs and oneliners in the command line as follows: Luser 10 0 BBS:Node0/Bull15 -I10O5L15 Future Releases of My support utilities will require a $5.00 registration fee . If interested register now while the offer lasts. And registered user will receive free updates to the program. If there is not enough interested parties I will keep my utilities to myself.
