NEWFILES - A New FIDO Outside Utility for Sysop's
NEWFILES is a program designed to run "outside" of Fido,
using Don Daniels' (Fido 107/211) Outside utility. NEWFILES
allows the individual Fido user to enter a period in days, with
the program listing any new files posted to the board during that
period. The user will only see files present in areas which
he/she has the proper privilege level to access. The program
displays information straight from the FILES.BBS file in the
particular area.
Example:
A user has access to area 1 only, called MISC. The DIR.BBS
file contains "Misc. Files". The FILES.BBS file contains:
EXAMPLE.ARC 06-02-86 An example file
LK100.ARC 06-30-86 Data Encryption Utility
The files in area 1 are:
example.arc 19400 bytes 6-2-86
lk100.arc 38512 bytes 6-30-86
If todays date is 7-25-86, and the user enters 60 days,
NEWFILES will generate the following listing on the users screen:
Misc. Files
EXAMPLE.ARC 19400 06-02-86 An example file
LK100.ARC 38512 06-30-86 Data Encryption Utility
The users privilege level is read from LASTUSER.BBS. Sysops
may use the program by running it locally using the "S" (Sysop)
command switch, to avoid having to log on to the system. This
will allow access to all areas. The sysop may also specify a
number of days to allow in the listing, like this:
NEWFILES S 20
This will display all files in all areas entered within the
last 20 days.
I am continuing to develop new Fido BBS and sysop utilities
on a shareware basis. If you like this program, please encourage
