			  ICONUPD.EXE   ver 1.40



 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...

     [_]_____________  
     
	      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.


	* 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!
Or just 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
   Edit this file to say what ever you want, up to 74 charters per line,
   5 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.

--------------------
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:
  
    /:c>iconupd exp     'this will show the programs expiration date

    /:c>iconupd ver     'this will show the current version of the program 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
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).  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.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

* 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.
