 Auto-Validate v.2.7 for Telegard v.2.7

 This program will let you, a Telegard SysOp, let a user AutoValidate himself
 to whatever setting you set in the system config.  Telegard has a 'bug' in
 it at this point in time that will not actually 'store' a user's new settings
 for the next call.  Telegard will validate a user for the current session, but
 when he logs off, is info is not stored.  AVALID8.EXE corrects this, letting
 a user validate himself.  This program is 100% free.  Enjoy it!
 
- Place AVALID8.EXE into the main BBS dir (ex. C:\BBS) where the
  STATUS.DAT file is located.

- Wherever in your BBS menu structure you have the AutoValidation function,
  insert a new menu command line immediately after the autovalidation
  function (Cmdkeys OA) with the Cmdkeys D- to run a door.  This new menu
  command line that runs the door must have an MString setting of

                              AVALID8.EXE @R

  Note that the Cmd letters for both the AutoValidation and for the door
  should be the same (ex. V).  The Long and Short descripts should be
  blank for the door menu command line as well.

- It's also a good idea to set the security level only for users who need to
  be validated.  Use the Telegard '!' to not allow the higher levels.

  This version also fixes a bug from the first version.  It will no longer
  change an already validated user's settings to that of the new user
  defaults.  If you are over the new user settings...it leaves your
  accout alone.
