"AMUL-Ed "is an easy to use, intuition based user, editor for AMUL, allowing you to easily maintain your "Players Data" user file. Version 1.0 provides only the basic functions and none of the intelligent features like an AREXX interface. It simply has the BASIC editing facilities. If you'd like to see an improved AMUL-Ed, you'll have to prove it with hard cash; register your AMUL system, and send a note with the money listing the kind of changes or alterations you'd like to see. [1.2] Why should I use it? If you're running AMUL through a BBS system, you'll find that a great deal of your users can be tempted into visiting your local MUG, but unfortunately not all of them can be tempted to become regulars. Once a user has registered with AMUL the account will remain in the files permanently. Another nuisance are the users who never bother to remember the names they chose and so create a new account each time they enter AMUL. If you aren't running AMUL through a BBS, you will have no idea of what is happening to the user files, save, perhaps, by using NewZap or some other editor; This is not recommendable. So AMULEd can make your life a lot easier. It will go as far as making your life simple, but the work that requires will *ONLY* happen if we receive enough 'encouragement'. Praise and thanks are greatly appreciated, but you can't pay bills with them. [2] Using AMUL-Ed [2.1] From the command line... AMUL will have created a file in the adventure directory called "players data". This IS the user accounts file. To load AMUL-Ed simply use a command line something like: 1> run amuled adv:precious/ or 1> run amuled bbs:doors/amul/adventure/ or 1> run amuled ram: [2.2] From the WorkBench I don't think you can ... Anyway, who WANTS to use WorkBench? [2.3] Once inside. Once AMUL-Ed is loaded, you will be presented with a display of the first user-record in the file. You can click in any of the fields on screen and edit the values within them. You can move around the file using the standard Intuition Menu, or using an Amiga-key combination (such as Amiga-] to go to the next record in the file, or Amiga-- for the first record in the file). When you change any part of a user's record, remember to update the file by 'Saving' the new record by pressing Amiga-S or by using the 'Save User' menu-option. The 'Find User' option has not been implemented yet. When you delete a user's account, the record is first wiped and then the resulting gap removed from the file ("Packing file" is displayed on-screen - this does not take very long). You'll find moving around AMUL-Ed and the user file fairly easy and fairly speedy. [3] End bits [3.1] Definitions "KingFisher Software D&EG International" is the trading name for Oliver Smith.
