Notes/Contacting. ------------------. 1 ... Disclaimer. | ------------------' The author of this programme takes no responsibility for any damage that may occur from the use of this programme. RemoveDead programme and it's documentation is copyright, all rights reserved. --------------------. 2 ... Requirements. | --------------------' This programme requires MAXs BBS v1.52 or greater. [It may work on lower versions, I really wouldn't know]. Should work on 68000+ processors. [i have tried it on a 68000 and a 68030 with no troubles]. It _should_ work on Workbench 1.3 machines but I have only tested it on 2.x and 3.x. -------------. 3 ... About. | -------------' One thing I found mildly annoying about both KFB and KWALL was the fact that when A user got deleted in the MAXs User.data the users files for both KFB and DFB were still there. Not much of a drama really since they are not really big, but annoying none-the-less. So I sat down and did this small (1.24k in size) programme to fix this problem. It will delete _ALL_ the users in your KFB:USERS/ and KWALL directories that are not present in your MAXsBBS User files. As you can see, nothing great, but it cuts down on tedious system maintenance time and hopefully help you to retain your sanity ;) (Your a SysOp and SysOps are slightly nuts to start off with). -------------. 4 ... Usage. | -------------' Dead easy to use. All you have to do is type in RemoveDead and 1 of 2 paramaters, KFB or KWALL. So; RemoveDead KFB Will delete all the dead users in KFB:USERS/ that are no longer present on your system. RemoveDead KWALL will delete all the dead user in KWALL: that are no longer present on your system. If for some reason you somehow (As hard as it is) forget the two available paramaters for RemoveDead, entering anything but KFB or KWALL or even entering no paramater at all, will bring up the usage template. -------------------------------------. Other Twisted Logic Inc Productions. | -------------------------------------' Following is a list of other programmes released under the Twisted Logic Inc. name including latest version number (since this release) and a short discription of each. TotalFiles - Version 1.01 CLI/Shell programme for MAXsBBS using DFB that will find all the %C total file autoinserts in a text file and replace that with the actual number of total files find in your dfb.data MSD [MAXs Security Door] - Version 1.1 One of the best [if I may say so myself] security doors you can get for MAXs. Also highly configurable with such options as password, texts to be displayed, user allowed and a logfile for incorrect password attempts. All definable by the SysOp of course! Remove Dead - Version 1.0 Small DOS programme [~1.2k] for removing for deleting user files that KFB and KWALL use, when the user no longer has an account on your BBS. Paramater driven. [Your looking at the Docs for it! :) ]. DFB UserStas - Version 1.0ß Lets a user list _ALL_ of their user information [eg. Uploads/Downloads etc] on BBS's using DFB [Dynamic File Base] which also allows the use of MAXs auto inserts. New Name - Version 1.0 Ever have users asking to have their name changed on your BBS and then asking you whether they will still be able to read their old Private mail or replies to messages they wrote with their old name ? Then this small Shell/CLI programme is for you. It will go through your message.data and change all messages addressed to and from the old user name to the new user name. ------------------------. 6 ... Notes/Contacting. | ------------------------' Because KWALL requires two files in it's directory called _WallData and _WallDex to function, any file RemoveDead finds in the directory it is working on that starts with a _ will be ignored. So if you are like me and keep the docs of say KWALL in your KWALL: directory just put a _ in front of it and it will be left alone. It also assumes that your user files for MAXsBBS are in BBS:UserFiles. Released on the 5/7/1996. If you have any troubles with this door, or have any ideas for other doors, please contact me.
