What to take: You'll need SIGNON-1.ARC, SIGNON-1.DIR, SIGNON-2.ARC and SIGNON-2.DIR, plus ARCGET11.OBJ (and probably ARCDIR11.OBJ as well). To see what's in these files, type "ARCDIR SIGNON-1", etc., which will give you a directory of the contents. To break the packages apart, the proper command is "ARCGET *.* SIGNON-1", etc. The result will be a large number of squeezed files which you'll then have to unsqueeze. Read the SIGNON.DOC file -- that'll explain how the program is expected to work and the order in which you should go about testing and assembling its components. The result will be a reasonably fancy user logging program which can be run as a front end to MINIRBBS (or maybe, with a bit of work, MINI- CBBS), especially suitable when those programs are used in an RCPM system. SIGNON's main attraction is for sysops rather than users -- it maintains user statistics and control over user status much more effectively than any other program thus far placed in the public domain. Because initially most sysops using SIGNON will be current users of ENTERBBS/RBBENTXX, a utility for converting ENTERBBS's 'USERS' file to a format readable by SIGNON will be available within a few days. That way, you won't have to ask your regular users to begin all over again. SIGNON is being distributed in two packages to make it possible for owners of slow modems to take one package at a time from systems that limit connect time to one hour/day. SIGNON-1 contains the stuff you'll need to get started. There should be enough in it to keep most sysops busy for a day or two. The program is slated for inclusion in a CPMUG disk, but that will undoubtedly take a few months to come out. Any sysop who's not in a hurry (if any such exist) might consider waiting until then. -- 7/25/82  .
