What does it do?
----------------


    Read the Remote Access (RA) userbase files and convert them to something
    approximating a TBBS version 2.3 userbase file.


NOTE: 1.  Please make sure you have backup copies of everything, as this
          utility might have some bugs I do not know of, and might immolate
          itself, you and the computer !

          RAU2TBBS doesn't make backups, so cannot provide you the way out, you
          need to make backup copies yourself.

      2.  The program is supplied as is... it breaks, you own both halves!

      3.  The program paths are hardwired, ie., it will presume you have got
          TBBS userbase in a directory like:

            C:\TBBS\USERLOG.BBS

          and the Remote Access userbase is found by looking up CONFIG.RA
          in the current directory, then from this figuring out where all the
          files are.

          If you want the utility to work on different files, run it somewhere
          else, or recompile it to suit.

What files are what? ...
-----------------------

    rau2tbbs.zip    The original ZIP file, as distributed


  it contains (or did when I did it, the following files:


    rau2tbbs.exe    The TBBS Userlog conversion utility, already compiled

    rau2tbbs.c      Turbo C source                     \    use these if you
    rau2tbbs.prj    Turbo C project file                \-- want to modify
    rau2tbbs.dsk    Turbo C DSK file                     \  the file, using
    rau2tbbs.obj    Turbo C object file                  /  Turbo C (or other
    tbbs_2.h        .H file for TBBS ver 2.3            /   C compiler).
    ra200.h         .H file for Remote Access ver 2.0x /

Disclaimer
----------

This program is supplied as is, as I am not charging you to use it, then
I do not feel I owe you anything if it doesn't work.

I do not want to know if your dog eats you cat because of this program,
nor if your computer goes up into smoke, gets eaten in a black hole, or


==============================================================================

How much is the program?
------------------------

Free!

     BUT!!

     If you like the program, find it of use, I'd think it nice if you
     gave $10 or $20 or so to a worthwhile charity.

Copyright

As I wrote this, I would think it a bit mean of someone to take it,
change it, and then go and sell it, or say they wrote it...

If you want to use some of it, tell me, and I am sure I can come to
some arrangement, hey even barter something for it, who knows !  :)

In other words, you are free to use this, as is, or modified, if it is
for your personal use, and not sold off to others.
