This program is still in an early stage of development. The intent of this program is provide WildCat! Interactive Net Server administrators with an intuitive GUI for editing user accounts. I wrote this because I do not like having to log in to the server to edit user accounts and it is tedious if you have to edit only one or two records. This program is designed to work directly on the computer running your WildCat! Interactive Net Server although it should work on a computer with your system password.
There is a lot I need to do before this is ever released such as creating a help-file, adding a few more features, fixing my errors, or even redesigning this program.
This program is good for small and possibly medium sized Wildcat 5.0 systems. On larger systems, this program may not work as well as it would on a smaller system. On a system with 10,000 users, it would take around 4 seconds to sort user accounts in memory and half a minute to load the complete user database. Even with any optimization, the amount of work and loading could easily multiply into inefficiency.
The reason I had opted for this design is that it would permit a more flexible sorting then would be possible using simple WildCat interface function calls.
I may consider making an alternative design for large systems, but I would loose the flexible sorting permitted with the current WcUsers builds.
This does require an updated of the Windows Common Control Library (COMCTL32.DLL) which is freely available at Microsoft (without having to install the latest version of Internet Explorer), and included with WindowsNT 4.0 Service Pack 4, Internet Explorer 4.0, Windows98, and with other programs, . You can download it at http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/ieplatform/ie/comctrlx86.asp (about .4 MB). You have to reboot your system after installation. I will also note that I specifically retrieve the version of COMCTL32.DLL on your computer in the Help|System Information function of WcUsers.
WildCat Interactive Net Server Version 5 - I am not sure if it would work with older versions, but please advise me if it does.
Windows95, Windows98, or Windows NT 4.0

This program is freeware meaning that you owe me nothing if you wish to use it. I am making this feeware for several reasons. I want to get feedback on this program and I have some other obligations. I might make this program shareware after more refinements.
If you are using a build which is less than 0.0.0.31, please upgrade your copy of WcUsers immediately because I recently fixed a serious problem when setting passwords for users. I was advised that you have to capitalize all letters in those passwords and I did not prevent lower-case letters in those passwords. Please accept my apologies for not fixing this sooner.
If you are using a build which is less than 1.0.0.36, I recommend that you upgrade because I fixed a serious problem sorting one-name accounts.
