RBBS-UTI Driver Ver. 1.2 Compatable w/ UTI Revision 2 Several additional enhancements and corrections have been made to the UTI for RBBS. The upgrades are listed below. All known problems and suggestions have been resolved/incorporated. Installation - Replace Previous version of the UTI with the new files. NOTE : All files now read version 1.2 UTILIST.EXE - No operational changes made. UTIEXPRT.EXE - Since RBBS supports group security levels for mail, the users security level is checked to insure no mail is exported to a user without sufficient access. Killed and password protected mail are no longer allowed to leave the system. The only private mail departing the system is mail addressed directly to the user. MegaDoor requests messages be parsed in a range. They send a Start and End message number. The Start number being passed is the Users LAST MESSAGE READ so I have incremented the counter to export the users LastRead +1 thru to the requested ending message. Hopefully they will NOT change the Specs and allow this one to come back and bite me. If you include your MAIN message base to be processed by the UTI and MegaDoor, users may get into the habit of NOT reading online. Now how do you know when to kill those messages in the Main Area? Normally once they are read you would do so, well with a reader you have no way of knowing. I have therefor added a feature to indicate that the message has been picked up by the user it was intended for. You will find a (æ) micro symbol as the last character of the subject field. UTIIMPRT.EXE - We found that RBBS expects certain message header information that was previously not included. An example would be the seconds in the time a message was left. All incoming mail recieves a group security of 1. RBBS Left justifies numbers and UTIIMPRT previously right justified which caused message bases to be slow and possibly grow. NOTE: This only occured in message bases where message numbers were less than 1000. UTILSTRD.EXE - No operational changes made. UTIDOOR.EXE - To support private mail the UTI must know who is requesting mail. UTIDOOR now creates a 2 line file, RUTIDOOR.DEF, which contains the users Name and Security level in support of UTIEXPRT. Private Mail was NOT getting to the user. MegaDoor looks for the user name padded out with spaces to a length of 25 characters. RBBS writes the DorInfo.Def file in a blank stripped fashion. I have therefore added spaces to the end of the user name when passing this info to the MegaDoor program. *** NOTE *** If using the reader outside of the BBS you will need to create a two line file in your READER directory called RUTIDOOR.DEF consisting of the two lines show below : SYSOP 50 The word "SYSOP" (no quotes) must be the first line and the security level of the sysop on the second. Before executing the MEGADOOR this file must be copied to the MEGADOOR directory in order for the UTI to function correctly. UTIVER.EXE - Displays/Writes RBBS-UTI Version 1.2 UTIHIGH.EXE - No operational changes made. UTIRBBSC.EXE - No Operational Changes. Displays Ver 1.1 RBBS-UTI.DOC - Ammendments to this this file are contained in : UPDATE.UTI UPTD12.UTI ******************************************************************** KUDOS go to the following people who have helped in one way or the other to improve the RBBS-UTI: Gregg Snyder Jim Thompson Bob Kurtz Ridge Gardner Curt Akin Charles Baldridge
