<S> : Allows you enter a user's name or part of his/her name. The
program will then scan through the database until it finds a
match. You will then be given the option of editing that record
or seeking another match.
<A> : Works on the same principle as <S> except that it searches the
user aliases.
<N> : This option will look up a specific user number. If you already
know what user number you want, this option is the fastest way to
find it.
<P> : You may also mark users as deleted. When you select this option,
it will remove those users from the database and recover the
wasted space. You will need to mark the user as deleted from the
User Edit screen.
<D> : This option allow you to purge the database of users that haven't
entered the door lately. You will be allowed to enter the number
of days that you want to keep the database updated. For
instance, if you enter a "15", then all users that have not
played the door in the past 15 days will be deleted from the
database.
<C> : You can add/change or edit any of the prompts in the COMMENT.DAT
file using this option. Once you select "C", you will be given
two options. Option #1 will convert COMMENT.DAT to COMMENT.LST
and option #2 will convert the COMMENT.LST to COMMENT.DAT. The
.LST file can be edited with any ASCii editor. The comments may
only be 49 characters maximum. Anything longer will be truncated
by the program.
<L> : This will list all the users currently in the database with some
of the more important statistics.
<Q> : This will return you to the DOS prompt.
RASSEDIT.EXE will create a backup of your old database before packing
it. This will allow you to copy the RASSCORE.OLD over the RASSCORE.DAT
file and restore it. The file "RASSEDIT.WRK" contains the names of all
the users that were deleted or purged by packing the database.
You may press <F10> to abort the program at any time. This utility
will only work for Registered SysOps and is NOT to be distributed.
