                             "STEALTH" Ver. 1.0
                               Copyright 1996

               A .WCX file for use with Wildcat BBS Software
                   Versions 4.01, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.20  


    DISCLAIMER:  You use this code at your own risk, should you have a
                 problem with that, then, I suggest you DO NOT install 
                 or run this .WCX program on your system.

    TESTING:     The product, if used as described, works flawlessly. I        
                 and several other SYSOP's have tested the HELL out of 
                 it and encountered NO problems.


    AFTER UNZIPPING YOU SHOULD HAVE:


        INSTALL.TXT    ------------>  This File
        STEALTH.BBS    ------------>  Main Program Menu File
        STEALTH1.BBS   ------------>  Secondary Menu File
        STEALTH.CFG    ------------>  The "Stealth".CFG File   
        STEALTH.TXT    ------------>  The Stealth Auto Upload Sysop Message
        STEAL420.WCX   ------------>  Executable Code for Ver. 4.20 Sysops
        STEAL412.WCX   ------------>  Executable Code for Ver. 4.12 Sysops
        STEAL411.WCX   ------------>  Executable Code for Ver. 4.11 Sysops
        STEAL401.WCX   ------------>  Executable Code for Ver. 4.01 Sysops


    WHAT DOES THIS THING DO ?

   This .wcx utility allows system callers <in up to 5, Sysop defined Access
   Profiles> the ability to Upload files to a specific File Area <that you 
   create> or already have without having the File(s) actually added to the 
   Wildcat! Database.


    WHY IS THIS THING SO GOOD ?

   *   Professionaly Designed
   *   Well Documented  
   *   Fully Functional  
   *   Easy Installation
   *   Fully Sysop Customizable 
   *   Low Cost "Donate-ware" Product  
      
   Includes:

      - Professional Looking "Stealth" Menus 
      - Auto Informs SYSOP by Private E-Mail of Uploads made via Stealth
        including: Uploader Name and File Name.

    Also Offers: 

    * NO Unwanted Delays
    * No Grief
    * No "DEMO" Keys
    * No "Self-Promotion"  
    

    OK I'M SOLD! - HOW DO I INSTALL IT ?  (Read Security Section First!)


    1)   Make a directory to hold all of the Stealth files.  I suggest:

                                C:\WILDCAT\STEALTH

    2)    From the .wcx's included with this archive, find the one that 
          matches the Ver. # of the Wildcat BBS Software you are using 
          and rename the appropriate file to STEALTH.WCX. 

          i.e:  Version 4.20 Sysop's would select STEAL420.wcx and then 
          rename it to STEALTH.wcx

     (If you are using Ver. 4.10 of Wildcat, select the STEAL401.WCX file). 


    3)    Edit the STEALTH.CFG file <as provided> to reflect the 5 Access 
          Profiles you wish to permit Access to Stealth.wcx utility, and 
          also be sure to edit the Path and Name of the Upload Area to be
          used by Stealth.

          Note:  If you wish to permit less than five profiles Access to 
          the STEALTH.wcx utility, then enter NONE on the unused lines 
          <see example STEALTH.cfg for more details>.
        

    4)    Copy or Move the STEALTH.BBS & STEALTH1.BBS files into your 
          DISPLAY directory.       

                 In most cases, likely    C:\WILDCAT\DISP  

          If you like you may EDIT the STEALTH.BBS file with WCDRAW to 
          reflect the "look and feel" of your BBS SYSTEM but why bother
          the one I have provided looks great ! and there are ONLY 2 
          menu selections on it. 
    

    5)    Using MAKEMENU add a keystroke to any "File Menu" used by any    
          of the Access Profiles you granted access to in Stealth.cfg,
          to allow them the ability to run Stealth.wcx.
            
          If you are unclear as to how to do this Read your Wildcat! 4  
          SYSOP Manual.


    6)    Using wcDraw, edit your Files Menu to reflect the "new" key
          that users will press to activate the Stealth Upload feature,
          again if you are unclear as how to do this, please refer to 
          your Wildcat! 4 manual.

 *** A NOTE ABOUT ***
 ***   SECURITY   ***     
 ********************


    IMPORTANT STUFF:

    Stealth Ver. 1.0  was designed to permit "Close Friends" of mine and a
    few other "select" users to Upload files directly to my BBS without 
    these files polluting the Wildcat! Files Databases, things like BADNAMES
    lists etc ...  

    At this time, Stealth Ver. 1.0 does NOT scan or test any uploads 
    processed by it for ANSI Bomb or Virus type matter, therefore, it is 
    intended that YOU only permit "Friends" or "Trustworthy" Users access
    to the Stealth.wcx program. 

    Prior to installation ensure that you fully UNDERSTAND and are OK with 
    the security issues presented above as they relate to the use of the 
    STEALTH.wcx on your BBS System.  

    If you are NOT clear on this point ... DO NOT RUN this .wcx !.  


    OK!, SO HOW DO I PROTECT MY SYSTEM ?:


    We STRONGLY reccommend that you use a .BAT file <run as an EVENT to 
    do a periodic scan of ALL of your User Accessable UPLOAD areas including
    the area used by STEALTH.   

    On my BBS I have an event that runs every two hours <as a soft event> 
    that scans my Uploads Area, Stealth Area, QWK Mail Area and my Message
    Attachments Area for any Virus like matter ... or ANSI Bombs, I know,
    call me anal <g> BUT I have never had any Virus related problems on my
    system.  


    LASTLY: 

    This is a DONATE-WARE product.  Feel free to use it on your BBS <after-
    all that is why it was developed> however, should you like it, or find 
    it useful to you or your callers then, please consider sending in a 
    small donation ($5.00) as a token of your appreciation of our HARD work
    and our most excellent, but somewhat long winded documentation skills :).
