                                ~~~~~~~~


This is the first of the NEW support programs designed to replace
existing QBBS utilities.

This program should be run from within the same folder as USERS.BBS,
unless you have a really reliable enviroment variable in which case
this will be read in preference, failing this the current directory
will be searched for both USERS.BBS and also LASTREAD.BBS

This program is new, and although many (literally !) hours have been
spent testing it with normal and not so normal parameters, we cannot
guarentee its performance, you use this at your own risk.

If during operation you are shown an alert box, then follow what it
says, DO NOT PROCEED WITHOUT REINSTALLING ANY BACKUPS THAT HAVE BEEN
CREATED.

This program not only packs your USERS.BBS but also trims/appends the
LASTREAD.BBS file if it's length is not correct.

To just tidy your LASTREAD.BBS file up, simply run the packer without
any buttons selected on the front panel.

The program will create a LASTREAD.BBS if you have lost your old one.

The Options
~~~~~~~~~~~

 Delete Prior To Date       If selected then users who have not called
                            on or after the date entered in the
                            MM/DD/YY field will be deleted.
                            NOTE the date format was chosen to match
                            that used by QBBS.

 Prompt Before Delete       If selected then you will be promted to
                            confirm you wish to delete a user.
                            If when prompted you choose to quit then
                            changes you have made so far will be made.

 Delete Users Marked For Deletion

                            If selected then users with the delete
                            flag set will be deleted on compaction.

 Delete obviously corrupted entries

                            If selected the users with either blank
                            names or blank dates will be deleted on
                            compaction
