=============================== Kings Personal Info Editor v1.3 =============================== By King Conan of TRIBE =============================== Kings Ransom - 1-305-247-7605 =============================== What Is It? ----------- It's a replacement for the "W" command (WRITE STATS). Maybe the best replacement for it to date. Whats So Good About This Util? ------------------------------ * Full Ansi Color * Manual or Random passwords (SYSOP DEFINED)(to stop the evil JRCOMM-HACKER) * Sysop Config file to turn ON/OFF 7 different options! * Arexx, So it will work on ALL systems! NEEDED TO RUN: -------------- 1st off let me state something: Arexx utils are compatible with ALL AMIGAS! if an Arexx util is not working for you, then you have not properly set it up & probably forgot to instal some of the libraries or spelled something wrong somewhere. Follow these instructions to the letter, & all should be fine! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> You need Arexx Installed in your System. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> AREXX is "NOT" included with this Util. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> also: copy the file RPSTART into your C: and then edit your "startup-sequence" or "user-startup" to load this file upon BBS bootup. ex. C:RPSTART copy RexxPlus.lib rexxplslib.library files to your LIBS: directory. also IMPORTANT: make sure you have "rexxdoor" & "rexxport" in your BBS:UTILS/ directory... They are standard AmiExpress commands, amd allow AmiExpress to properly communicate with Arexx doors & utils. SETUP: ------ Make a directory called: DOORS:KingsInfo/ and put these files in it: KingsInfo.rexx KingsInfo.cfg >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Now Edit your BBS.CMD file as so: 11 Spaces In | --------------------------------------------- *W RM050Doors:KingsInfo/KingsInfo.rexx --------------------------------------------- || ||| | || ||| ` 'Doors:KingsInfo/KingsInfo.rexx - Location Of Program! || ||| Make sure not to change this!! || ||| || ||` 050 Is the minimum access to use this door. Change it to what || || you like. || || || |` M For a mutilnode bbs (S For single) || | || ` R For an rexx type door which will use the 'Rexxdoor' Util || |`Letter to bring the door up on the board. In this case 'S' | `-Retard Option. To Make Sure they only use 'S' & only 'S' to get the door to come up. If not used, things such as 'Stimpy' and 'SA' would still bring up the door. SOMETHING TO KNOW: ------------------ At this time, this program is missing one option that is in the REAL "W" command. That is the "CLEAR SCREEN AFTER EVERY MESSAGE" option. In All reality this option is not needed as the user will choose wether or not he wants this option when he first logs onto your BBS... Reason this option has not been put in is because quite simply I have not seen an AmiExpress Arexx code/command that does this.. If you know how to do it, PLEASE, let me know & I will update the program. Also, the very 1st time a user logs onto your BBS he will get the DEFAULT (OLD) "W" command.. This is un-avoidable as it is hardcoded into the BBS to load that information at that time. This is also good however because the user AT THAT TIME & THAT TIME ONLY, will be able to select YES or NO for the ScrnClr option.. BEFORE RUNNING THIS DOOR: ------------------------- Before you run this door you need to edit the "KingsInfo.CFG" file. The Config file is set up to completely configure the DOOR to your liking by answering 7 questions with either a "Y" (YES) or "N" (NO) flag. IMPORTANT: ALL FLAGS MUST BE CAPITALIZED!!! THE CONFIG FILE OPTIONS: ------------------------ Here is a description of each of the FLAGS in the KingsInfo.CFG file: The flags represent my own personal defaults,but you can turn on/off whatever you want. FLAG (LINE1) Y ; Can users edit/change their NAME/HANDLE?? YES or NO (LINE2) Y ; Can users edit/change their LOCATION?? YES or NO (LINE3) N ; Can users edit/change their PHONE-NUMBER? YES or NO (LINE4) Y ; Can users edit/change their PASSWORD? YES or NO (LINE5) Y ; Can users edit/change their COMPUTER TYPE? YES or NO FLAG (LINE6) Y ; Y=FORCE RANDOM PASSWORD MODE FLAG in this mode, the user will not be able to choose his own password. This eliminates the JRCOMM-HACKER possibility. More about this explained shortly. N=CHOICE MODE in this mode, the user will be given the option of either choosing his own password, or having the BBS choose one for him. FLAG (LINE7) Y ; SYSOP/COSYSOP BYPASS OPTION YES or NO FLAG yes= Anyone with a access level of 200 & above (usually only CoSysops & Sysops have these access levels) will be able to change/edit options EVEN if you have them FLAGGED OFF. no= Access levels of 200 and above will be treated the same as any other user access level. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> THE JR-COMM HACKER: ------------------- Although JrComm is a great terminal program, it has one major flaw. It's RANDOM-PASSWORD generator really stinks.. It Stinks so bad that it does not even create a "TRUE-RANDOM" password. Lets Say you put the bbs "KINGS RANSOM" into your phonebook, and then created a random password for that BBS. Ever try creating another random password to replace the one you just made? Well it makes the same exact password.. You see, Jrcomm takes the BBS name (Kings Ransom) & then through its own routines, makes a PASSWORD up.. Problem is, if another guy somewhere else puts KINGS RANSOM into his phone book (AND BY CHANCE OR ON PURPOSE), spells Kings Ransom the EXACT same way as dude #1 did, well then dude #2 will come up with the same exact password.. If he changed just 1 character, he would get a slightly different password.. The Jrcomm Hacker is that sick little Mutha, who has been on a bbs for some time & knows what users are on it.. & then tries logging on as each with a Jrcomm Random password hoping to find someone who was stupid enough to let a Good Program with LAME random routines choose his password. RANDOM PASSOWORDS: ------------------ You will find by testing the RANDOM PASSWORD generator of this util, that it is very RANDOM, very FAST, & very SAFE in the aspect that it makes sure the user knows his new password & what could happen to him if he does not. Personally, I force all my users to choose a Random Password, and with FORCED RANDOM turned on, they will never ever again be able to put in some lame EASY TO HACK password.. * All passwords generated are always 8 chars (THE MAX) * The RANDOM PASSWORD generator uses every possible keyboard LETTER, NUMBER, & CHARACTERS when generating it's password and will always generate a "8" letter password for maximum security! * When a user has selected RANDOM PASSWORD by choice, or was forced into RANDOM, the program will remind the user of his password before he exits the door. It will Tell him to make sure he writes it down, & something to the effect that he will have a very hard time getting back on the bbs if he does not! ;) ALL UPDATES TO MY UTILS CAN BE FOUND AT: ---------------------------------------- If you have any questions or i forgot to mention some particulars about this utility, then call me at: _ _ \][/ _ Hast La Vista Baby! / *\ _ (_) ____ ____ ____ / __/ | \ __ __ __ __| |_____/ ___\______/ ___\______/ ___\______/ /____ | | | | | | |____/ /_________/ /_________/ /_________/ /_____\ | |__|__|__|__| |___/ /_________/ /_________/ /_________/ /______/ |_/ |_| /_/ \____/ \____/ \____/ (_) KINGS RANSOM - 305-247-7605 >> 16.8 DUAL STANDARD! << ======================================================================== FIXES AND UPDATE REPORTS: ------------------------- 3-29-93 v1.0 First Release 3-29-93 v1.1 (EVENING) UGHHH!!

Added a little routine for the RANDOM PASSWORD prompt to ask: "IS THIS PASSOWRD OK? (Y/N)" "N" = Random Password RE-GENERATED "Y" = Password saved & used ======================================================================= Greetings Goto: --------------- Mofo/HOOD/CRAZY - Thanx for finding the "OTHER" coputertype error.. Why did you select it in first place? Your still lame however for giving out peoples REAL INFORMATION.. Interceptor - Thanx for locating the PASSWORD BUG quickly. I appreciate having users who change their password when I tell them to! White Knight - Thanx for keeping that phone from disturbing me!! Denon - Thanx for you personal views & perspectives during this development and the Beta-Testing. Van Damme - Thanx for getting back to me on about 10% of my questions. even though you didnt answer all, you helped. Also thanx for the final help in getting the random to work under compiled conditions.. Zandor/LSD - Wheres my Skull Buggery access dude?! TRIBE - My New Friends At TRIBE!
