RGUtil v1.0

Chad Thevis

(C) 1993 CJSoft


RGUtil started out as a small progam called RGTop, which generated
top 15 users bulletins.  That has now grown into something a little
bigger.  RGUtil eliminates the need for a lot of one option utilities
and puts them all into one package that is easy to use and runs
quickly.

Disclaimer:

Chad Thevis, or CJSoft may not be held responsible for any damage
occurring through the use of RGUtil.  I only promise that it will
take up space on your hard disk.  Although tested on a couple of
systems with no evident problems, nothing can be promised.

Of course, if a problem occurs, I would like to hear about it.
Please contact me by sending me mail at the registration address
or Net Mail at the support BBS.

Registration:

RGutil is released under the ShareWare concept, so you can try it
for 30 days before you have to register it.  RGUtil is not crippled
in any way so that the SysOp can use all of the features available.

Registration entitles you to use RGUtil after the 30 day trial
period.  Your name and Board name will appear in the Bulletins,
and it also entitles you to free upgrades as they come about.
I have ideas for many new features, but finally had to release what
I had completed.  So look for new features soon!

More Complete Description:

CFG >
        This must be run first! If not RGUtil will stop working.
        It was originally intended to go straight to running the
        configuration program if RGUTIL.CFG wasn't found, but if
        something happened during a late night batch, it might
        accidentally sit there waiting for input.  WHOOPS!
        Brings up the configuration program which will allow the user
        to select the names for the Bulletin Files and the Security
        level which should be omitted from the lists.  A selection of
        250 will exclude all users with sl of 250 and above.  This
        can be used to exclude sysops from the lists.


FLCFG >
        This will call up the configuration program which will generate
        a config file that is used by the File List generator.  This option
        asks you what name to give the current configuration file.  It then
        go's through all files bases and lets you select which ones you want
        displayed when using this configuration file.


H >
        Displays the help file.


M,C,DLK,DL,ULK,UL >
        These options generates a Bulletin displaying the best users in
        each case, Top Messagers, Top Callers, Top Downloaders (K), Top
        Downloader (#), Top Uploaders (K), Top Uploaders (#).


PH- >
        This option generates a list of all users with there phone numbers.
        It also flags any numbers that are duplicates of another user.
        This File is created in the MISC directory that RENEGADE.DAT uses.


PH+ >
        Same as the above option, it uses the Real Name.


USER- >
        Generates a user list that includes, username, address and
        phone numbers.  This File is created in the MISC directory
        that RENEGADE.DAT uses.


USER+ >
        Same as the above option, it uses the Real Name.


FL:{cfg} >
        Generates a list of all available files in the areas that
        are specifies in the {cfg} file.


CG >
        Generates a usage graph for the last 15 days of operation.


FD:{path} >
        Updates the LASTCALL.FD in the {path} directory.  This
        is to allow for a multinode Front Door Setup.
        I will be glad to add support for Binkley or any other
        Front Door like programs.  Please send me the file structures
        and I will see what I can do.
