stays resident in your computer at all times, and calls up which
ever other programs are required as they are needed. This is the
reason for using the ‘RL’ function from time to time, as
the cn file sometimes gets corrupted.
prg.amaint This is the program that does the auto-maintenance each
and every night. This program also uses prg.amaint1.

APPENDIX A UNDERSTANDING ACCESS GROUPS
A.1 ACCESS GROUP CONFIGURATION
C-NET allows you to have up to 15 separate access groupings, numbered 0 to
14. New users to the system are always placed into group 0. You do not
have to use all of the
Groups -- the ones that you do use need not be consecutive or in any
specific order. You should choose one of the access groups to be the
System Operator’s group (for you, and maybe a small select group of highly
trusted people) having highest system privileges. I suggest that you use
group 14 for the SysOp account. Group 13 can be used for Co-Sysops. For
each group you use, you can specify the following information:
Group xName: A title used on the system instead of simply an
access group number.
Calls/Day(0-255): The number of calls per day that the group can
make. 0 indicates infinite.
Min./Call(0-255): How many minutes per call will be allowed. 0
indicates infinite.
MxM/Day(0-255): Minutes per day maximum that may be spent on the
system, assuming the user has enough calls per day
and minutes per day to reach this limit. 0 indicates
infinite here.
$/min(1/10000s): Per minute system access charge in 1/10000 of a
dollar (part of the accounting system, which will be
described fully in a chapter to follow).
Max/debt(0-9999): The maximum debt a user may accumulate on the
system, in 1/100 of a dollar. Again, this function
will also be described fully in a subsequent chapter.
Min./idle(1-9): How many minutes idle will be allowed (how many
minutes may pass without hitting any keys before the
system will automatically hang up). This MAY NOT be
0.
Downloads/call: How many files may be downloaded per call. 0
indicates infinite. I have found the number of 10 to
be the best. That way, a user cannot be on all night
long downloading files, thereby preventing others
from logging on.
Uploads/call: How many files may be uploaded per call. 0 indicates
infinite.
U/D file ratio: A download ratio -- how many blocks may be downloaded
in return for every block uploaded. (A user is
allowed to exceed this ratio by 1 file of any length
at all times.). 0 indicates no restriction on
