NAMEFIX.ZIP

This is a little fix for Online INSTAbank 5.3e to allow Handles to be used in
the timebank.  Currently INSTAbank reads only the NAME field from EXITINFO.BBS.
If you want handles to be used, use the NAMEFIX.EXE program in your timebank
batch file to swap the real name and the handle.  You must use the program
TWICE.  The first time you run it (before you run the bank) it will change
the name and handle around.   The second time you run it (after you run the
bank) it will swap the name and handle back to how they should be.

Example:

    DEPOSIT.BAT

    @ECHO OFF
    D:
    CD\RA
    NAMEFIX.EXE
    CD\RA\DEPOSIT
    DEPOSIT D:\RA
    CD\RA
    NAMEFIX.EXE


That's all there is to it!

The DEPMAINT.EXE file included in this archive is a replacement for DEPMAINT
in the Online INSTAbank version 5.3e archive.   DO NOT USE THIS WITH ANY OTHER
VERSION OF INSTAbank!   DEPMAINT, when run in maintenance mode, will search
for the users' names in USERS.BBS.  If it cannot find them, it will delete
the INSTAbank accounts.  Because you are switching names for handles, this
updated copy of the program will also read the handle field from USERS.BBS,
to ensure that accounts are not deleted when the user really exists!
