  Thank you for using USERS.  USERS is a program that I created in Turbo
  Pascal 4.0 to generate a USERS list.  While there are other methods
  to create the USERS list, they did not give the information that I wanted
  to have in my listing.  My program give the users name, city and state
  and the last date that the user connected with PCBoard.

  I currently run PCBoard 14.2/E3.  My program directly reads (and ONLY
  reads) my USERS file and creates my output bulletin.  I run this every
  day from my EVENT.SYS.  It is important that ALL nodes of your BBS be
  down or the program will not run.  This is because the USERS file is
  unavailable to my program unless all nodes are down.  I find that most
  utility programs written have to have all nodes down so I guess I am
  in good company.

  There is a configuration file required for my program.  It can be named
  anything you desire.  The layout of the file is very simple.

  Line 1  -  The name of your bulletin Board system
  Line 2  -  The name and location of your USERS file
  Line 3  -  The name and location of the file you wish to create

  Sample file - USERS.CNF
  -----------------------
  The Vacuum Valley BBS
  F:\PCB\MAIN\USERS
  F:\PCB\GEN\BLT6

  Any other lines after the first 3 will be ignored.  To call the program
  you simply type "USERS USERS.CNF" at the C>.  USERS then opens USERS.CNF
  and reads in the first 3 lines.  Then it goes to work.  It will write
  out the file specified on line 3 of the configuration file and it will
  display the data to the screen.  The pages are broken up for 23 lines
  per screen page with 18 users per screen page.

  This program works on PCBoard 14.2/E3.  IT SHOULD WORK on all versions
  of PCBoard 14.x provided that it utilizes the users file layout of
  PCBoard 14.2!

  I would advise you copy your users file to a temporary directory and
  TEST my program on it before you implement it directly on your actual
  users file.

  As always, if you use this program, you use it AT YOUR OWN RISK!
  I cannot guarantee that there will not be some combination of programs,
  TSRs, other utilities, MURPHY, or any other of the infinite combinations
  of doing things that will not cause your system to crash!

  If you have any questions, comments, or if you just like to check into
  other BBS's,  feel free to call my board.
