FBB Passwords

This application allows you to manually calculate sysop passwords required
by the F6FBB BBS software.  It runs on the Psion Series 3a.

Copy the file PASSWORD.OPA to an \APP directory.
Install to the system screen using Psion-I.

* If you wish to use the password in the PocPac config file PP.CFG or PP.DBF
  this application will automatically find it.

* If you do not have PocPac installed, and no PP.CFG or PP.DBF, this
  application will create a file M:\DAT\PASSWORD.FBB and use this.

* If you have PocPac installed and still wish to use a separate password
  file, do the following:

  Go to DATA on the system screen
  Press Psion-N
  Enter PASSWORD.FBB and press Enter
  Press Psion-X to quit DATA.  (This creates an empty file)

* If M:\DAT\PASSWORD.FBB exists, this application will use it, it will
  NOT use PP.CFG or PP.DBF


When you run PASSWORD, a dialog will appear with two options:

  Calculate Password     and    Enter New Table
  
If you are using the PocPac config file, you will not be able to select
the latter option.  This is to prevent you unintentially changing the 
PocPac config file!  Use PPCONF or DATA to alter this PP file.

If there is no password file or PocPac file present, you will not be able
to select the first option!

Calculate Password.  Enter the 5 numbers with a single space between
each, like:  24 9 121 98 50

Press Enter, and the five letters of your password will be shown.  There
is a space between each character for clarity - do not type these in.
Try not to use a password table with spaces in it!!

Enter New Table.  You can type in up to 255 characters.

Hopefully there is sufficient error checking programmed in!  Any comments

P.S.  I can easily retranslate this for the Series 3 if required.

You should now be able to separate the numbers with commas, or any non-
numeric character, if desired.
