And Great RIP Graphics interface. ICONUPD.EXE ver 1.60 *IMPORTANT - Configuration file, DNICON.CFG has CHANGED. See DNICON.DOC for details! Version 1.60 is now KEYED, meaning you will need ICONUPD.KEY in order for it to run. Read the KEY.DOC for more info. This door was designed to decrease maintenance time for the sysop. Maily for me, but you can enjoy it also. I put everything in one ConFig file, so when it comes time to add more RIP Icons to you BBS, and therefore, your BBSICONS.ZIP file, you only have to change one config file. Just change the date, and if you have to, the paths and file names. That's it! ******* Important ******** You must use DSZ, see below. IconUpDater is just that; an Up-Dater! You have 5 options on the main menu, one of which is totally user configurable! [D]ownload ALL Icons This is the options that most of your NEW callers and NEW RIP BBSer's will use to get all you Icons in one shot. The idea here is tha when you update your icons, say you added 4 more icons to your BBSICONS.ZIP file, well your current RIP users are not interested in downloading all of your icons everytime you add a few. So you add your 4 new icons to your BBSICONS.ZIP and then.... [J]ust download updated Icons create another zip file of just you new icons for your current RIP users. They love not having to download the same icons over and over, just to get the new ones. [I]nformation on RIP graphics well if your callers are like mine you'll like this feature also, especially since this program is the first thing your new user see. Well they have heard of RIP, or maybe not, and they have this Download Menu Options screen present to them? Well, allthey need to do is select I for more info... and that info is what ever you want it to be. You can enter the text to suit your needs, tell your users what ever you want. See DNINFO.TXT below for details. [C]ontinue to BBS! where BBS is your BBS initials read from the ConFig file. Self explanatory. Exits Door. A return key will work also. AND... [_]_____________ ( you have 2 sysop definable Menu options now) Blank! Yep, you can put whatever you want here for your users to download. RIPterm? Maybe your MEMBERSHIP.DOC file? New important info! Users can't get away from this Door, since it runs everytime they get online, so make it interesting for them. Your description can only be 30 characters long! * If this program catches on, following upgrades will have more user configurrable options. This is a new product(with very possible bugs, mainly `cause it is my first door program), so if you have any questions, comments, or suggest, feel free to buzz my BBS! You have minimumal, access, until you use callback verifier. L-D users will be veried by voice. See DNICON.DOC for information on the DNICON.CFG (config) file! BUT, your best bet is to RUN the Config program ICSETUP.EXE! Sample LOGIN1.BAT file: cd\doors\icondown iconupd CD\WC30 exit <-- you need this if you have WildCat SHELL on doors and DOS hooks then make sure you add this or your users will get dropped when they select "C". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- **** You also need to make sure you have DSZ in your DOS path or in the same directory as as the IconUpDate programs!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * This program only supports COM 1 & 2 for now. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DNICON.CFG Is the config file used by IconUpD.EXE Make Sure that this file is in the SAME directory as ICONUPD.EXE. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DNINFO.TXT Edit this file to say what ever you want, up to 74 characters per line, 7 lines max. Your text will be displayed when a user selects option I from the main menu. If you put more than 7 line of text, IconUpDater will lockup or exit with an errror message! --------------------- MAININFO.TXT (important - back to 4 lines of text!) Edit this file to say what ever you want, up to 74 charters per line, 4 lines max. Your text will be displayed just below the main menu! --------------------- USERLOG.TXT This file is created to tell you who downloaded what and when. IF you delete this file, becuase it gets to long or something, IconUpDater will just create another one. It just keeps APPENDing USERLOG.TXT forever, so it's a good idea to delete this file every so often. -------------------- FORCED.LOG If this file does not exist, IconUpDater will create it. This file MUST be in the same directory as ICONUPD.EXE! This LOG will keep track of who has download the FORCED FILE if you have "Y" on the last line of DNICON.CFG. When someone downloads the FORCED File the user's name is added to this LOG. A user will not be forced to download your forced file if his name is in the LOG. This means you have total control over who and when you want to make download your FORCED file. For example, lets say you FORCE your users to download your BBS registeration text file. Once they have downloaded it they will never be forced to download it again until you delete that user's name from the LOG or til you delete the LOG all together! Let's say you have a log that's been running for a while, and you update you BBS registeration text file and you want everyone to download the new one. Well just delete the FORCED.LOG file and everyone will be forced again. To not FORCE a file on a particular user, just put his name in the LOG exactly how it is spelled in the WildCat database. To totally turn off the FORCED feature just put "N" on the last of of your DNICON.CFG file. -------------------- FORCEDB.LOG This is the same as the above, except it monitors callers forced on Menu option #2. -------------------- ICSETUP.EXE Run this file and it prompts you for the CONFIG information, then writes it to the DNICON.CFG file. You can always edit it with a text editor. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Command line parameters: *** The following parameters NO LONGER WORK. I REMOVED THEM. *** /:c>iconupd exp 'this will show the programs expiration date /:c>iconupd ver 'this will show the current version of the program If you need to know this info, then run it locally, from WildCat. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have added a copy of my QUES0004.DAT file. I use this to ask my callers in a questionsnaire if they want to DISable the LogIn IconUpdater Menu for when they logon (next time)*ç. Look at my QUES0004 with the program "makeques" and see how I ask them. The answer goes in the "Comments 1" of the users data base file. If you modify the questionnaire make sure that you have one of these 3 key words at the beginning of your user's Comments 1 database area. "Display" - this turns ON the IconUpDater "Only" - Will Scan & compare dates (see next item, Default Scan Update) Only run IconUpDater since last Icon update. "Never" - will disable (turn off) IconUpDater If you use your comments 1 user data area for something else then forget about this option. It won't work. Either give up the Comments 1 for IconUpdater so your user who like Quick Logons can disable IconUpDater (just for that user), then give it up. *ç Note: If you have "Y" on your 11 line of your DNICON.CFG file then IconUpDater will NOT check the user's Comment1 field at all. So if you want to give your user's a choice, set Default Scan to "N". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Default Scan Update This is line # 10 of the config file! If you have it set to "Y" then IconUpDater will compare the user last time online date and the date you last updated your icons (the date on line # 8). If the user's last time on is older than your icon update date, then the program will run. If the user's last time on is more recent than the last time you updated your icons then the door will NOT run. In default mode, IconUpdate does not scan the user's "Comment 1" memo in the Wildcat Door.sys file. If you select "N" then IconUpdater will scan the "Comment 1" memo to see what the user's setting is. For setting see above item. Using "N" here give you the power to force your callers to see the IconUpDater Menu at Login. Just incase you want them to see that you have some important you might want them to download; which you can put in the configurable menu option. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Security Level Access Limiting: He you have the option of limiting what menu options your callers have access to. If you leave the defaults, (when running ICSETUP.EXE) then very caller will have access. The value you put in the config file is the minimum security level a user must have to access theat menu option. For example, if I entered a 20, then no users with a security value of 19 or less will have access to that menu option. You can set the access level for each of your 2 definable menu options and you can set one access level value for the [D] and [J] menu options. See above for info on D and J. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is SHAREWARE, and no guarantees apply what so ever to any unregistered copies.
