WELL CONNECTED BBS & Revolving Door Software Canada Present "STEALTH" Ver. 1.0 Copyright 1996 A .WCX file for use with Wildcat BBS Software Versions 4.01, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.20 DISCLAIMER: You use this code at your own risk, should you have a problem with that, then, I suggest you DO NOT install or run this .WCX program on your system. TESTING: The product, if used as described, works flawlessly. I and several other SYSOP's have tested the HELL out of it and encountered NO problems. AFTER UNZIPPING YOU SHOULD HAVE: INSTALL.TXT ------------> This File STEALTH.BBS ------------> Main Program Menu File STEALTH1.BBS ------------> Secondary Menu File STEALTH.CFG ------------> The "Stealth".CFG File STEALTH.TXT ------------> The Stealth Auto Upload Sysop Message STEAL420.WCX ------------> Executable Code for Ver. 4.20 Sysops STEAL412.WCX ------------> Executable Code for Ver. 4.12 Sysops STEAL411.WCX ------------> Executable Code for Ver. 4.11 Sysops STEAL401.WCX ------------> Executable Code for Ver. 4.01 Sysops WHAT DOES THIS THING DO ? This .wcx utility allows system callers the ability to Upload files to a specific File Area or already have without having the File(s) actually added to the Wildcat! Database. WHY IS THIS THING SO GOOD ? * Professionaly Designed * Well Documented * Fully Functional * Easy Installation * Fully Sysop Customizable * Low Cost "Donate-ware" Product Includes: - Professional Looking "Stealth" Menus - Auto Informs SYSOP by Private E-Mail of Uploads made via Stealth including: Uploader Name and File Name. Also Offers: * NO Unwanted Delays * No Grief * No "DEMO" Keys * No "Self-Promotion" OK I'M SOLD! - HOW DO I INSTALL IT ? (Read Security Section First!) 1) Make a directory to hold all of the Stealth files. I suggest: C:\WILDCAT\STEALTH 2) From the .wcx's included with this archive, find the one that matches the Ver. # of the Wildcat BBS Software you are using and rename the appropriate file to STEALTH.WCX. i.e: Version 4.20 Sysop's would select STEAL420.wcx and then rename it to STEALTH.wcx (If you are using Ver. 4.10 of Wildcat, select the STEAL401.WCX file). 3) Edit the STEALTH.CFG file to reflect the 5 Access Profiles you wish to permit Access to Stealth.wcx utility, and also be sure to edit the Path and Name of the Upload Area to be used by Stealth. Note: If you wish to permit less than five profiles Access to the STEALTH.wcx utility, then enter NONE on the unused lines . 4) Copy or Move the STEALTH.BBS & STEALTH1.BBS files into your DISPLAY directory. In most cases, likely C:\WILDCAT\DISP If you like you may EDIT the STEALTH.BBS file with WCDRAW to reflect the "look and feel" of your BBS SYSTEM but why bother the one I have provided looks great ! and there are ONLY 2 menu selections on it. 5) Using MAKEMENU add a keystroke to any "File Menu" used by any of the Access Profiles you granted access to in Stealth.cfg, to allow them the ability to run Stealth.wcx. If you are unclear as to how to do this Read your Wildcat! 4 SYSOP Manual. 6) Using wcDraw, edit your Files Menu to reflect the "new" key that users will press to activate the Stealth Upload feature, again if you are unclear as how to do this, please refer to your Wildcat! 4 manual. ******************** *** A NOTE ABOUT *** *** SECURITY *** ******************** IMPORTANT STUFF: Stealth Ver. 1.0 was designed to permit "Close Friends" of mine and a few other "select" users to Upload files directly to my BBS without these files polluting the Wildcat! Files Databases, things like BADNAMES lists etc ... At this time, Stealth Ver. 1.0 does NOT scan or test any uploads processed by it for ANSI Bomb or Virus type matter, therefore, it is intended that YOU only permit "Friends" or "Trustworthy" Users access to the Stealth.wcx program. Prior to installation ensure that you fully UNDERSTAND and are OK with the security issues presented above as they relate to the use of the STEALTH.wcx on your BBS System. If you are NOT clear on this point ... DO NOT RUN this .wcx !. OK!, SO HOW DO I PROTECT MY SYSTEM ?: We STRONGLY reccommend that you use a .BAT file that scans my Uploads Area, Stealth Area, QWK Mail Area and my Message Attachments Area for any Virus like matter ... or ANSI Bombs, I know, call me anal BUT I have never had any Virus related problems on my system. LASTLY: This is a DONATE-WARE product. Feel free to use it on your BBS however, should you like it, or find it useful to you or your callers then, please consider sending in a small donation ($5.00) as a token of your appreciation of our HARD work and our most excellent, but somewhat long winded documentation skills :).
