GENERAL INTRODUCTION

 
  The Upload Minder is a program created to notify a sysop of NEW uploads.
The program will enable the sysop to be more organized and efficient in 
keeping the upload area current.

  The Upload Minder is invisible to the users. The Upload Minder is activated 
when a user chooses the option to upload a file. NOTE: IF a user aborts the 
upload it will still show as a new upload.

  The SYSOP MODULE will be accessed from MENU:0000. You may set the access via 
PRIV or AUTH flags. If there are no new uploads, the program will show the
message "No new files" and continue to the main menu. If there are new files 
it will take you to the SYSOP MODULE and display the number of times the 
upload key was pressed and the number of disconnects incurred during the 
uploads.

 
        In the SYSOP MODULE the sysop can:
        
        1) Go to the file area maint. to mark the new uploads visible.  The 
           sysop may then go back later to scan for viruses.

        2) Reset the Upload Minder Count to 0.
   
        3) Continue to the BBS without resetting the count. The next 
           sysop to log on will then enter the SYSOP MODULE.
