  Overview  
ͼ
   The Zephyr User Registry is a baja module written exclusively for 
Synchronet Bulletin Boards.  It is a quick and easy way for your users to
get to know eachother.  The easy menu selections will make it easy for 
your users to fill out their profiles, and the individually loading modules 
will allow you to execute various features of the registry independently.  
It also allows your users to select different colors to be displayed for 
their chat handles.  (If you are using the default chat program the comes 
with Synchronet).  You may also edit other user's profiles if you are a 
sysop (level 90 and above or have flag 4G).

   To load it from another menu, such as the DEFAULT.SRC, simply add the    
following lines of code:

        cmdkey R
            exec_bin .\zephyr\reg\registry
            end_cmd

Then recompile the SRC file. (See the BAJA.DOC for more inforation on editing 
baja source files.)
   
   To allow your users to choose a color for their chat handles then you must 
be using the default chat program that comes with Synchronet.  Add the 
following lines of code in every module or command shell that calls the chat 
function.  (The most important part is that COLOR.BIN is executed before the
call to the chat funcion.)

        cmdkey C
            exec_bin .\zephyr\reg\color
            chat_section
            end_cmd

   Because of the ability to load any of the modules individually you can do 
such things as ensuring that each user fills out their user profile during
the new user logon.  (Set up MAKE-REG.BIN as a new user logon event.)  Or
allow them to be executed as chat actions.  (The action string would be: 
"k@EXEC:ZEPHYR\REG\BROWSE@")

   To display the access level in a browse, setup the ACCESS.DAT file.  A
sample file has been included and may be edited.  The format of this file 
is: 

(Access Level)   99
(Access String)  a Sysop

A blank line will signify the end of readable data.  (Make sure the file is
called ACCESS.DAT or it will not work correctly.)

   The baja source code has been include for REGISTRY.SRC and COLOR.SRC so
you can decide if you want your users to be able to remove their profiles
or not, and so that you can customize the format of the chat handle colors.
