║ INTRODUCTION ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
The ProBoard File Requester (FileReq) is a PEX (ProBoard EXtension) to
let your users request the files they want.
The advantage to request the files is that they can prepare a request
file off-line and upload it to the BBS. FileReq will process this file
and tag the files in ProBoard. After that, the user can start down-
loading the files.

║ WHAT'S NEW ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
New in version 1.01
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- Changed the extension of the default request name. If the user uses a
non-batch protocol, FileReq will use the "FileReq.xxx" as default request
name, where xxx is the node number. I've changed this to prevent
conflicts when 2 or more users at the same time use the file requester.
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ FIRST-TIME INSTALLATION ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Installing program files
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The distribution archive contains the following files:
FileReq.Pex : The program
FileReq.Doc : You're reading it right now...
ReqExamp.Doc : Example request file to let your user's know how they
should create such a file.
- Copy the FileReq.Pex in the ProBoard PEX directory
- Create an entry in your files menu to start the FileReq.Pex. See the
ProBoard documentation if you don't know how you should do that.
Command line parameters
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
FileReq has 3 command line parameters:
/A=[xx]filename : Name of your ALLFILES list
/N=[xx]filename : Name of your NEWFILES list
/E=[xx]filename : Name of the request example file
As in ProBoard, you can specify the area number between brackets before
the filename. ProBoard will than search in that area only, so it will be
much faster.
Ok, some example command lines:

║░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ProBoard File Requester version 1.01 ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
/A=[1]THEHOUSE.ZIP /N=[1]HOUSENEW.ZIP /E=[1]REQEXAMP.DOC
This is the command line I use.
- TheHouse.Zip from area #1 is my ALLFILES list
- HouseNew.Zip from area #1 is my NEWFILES list
- The example request file is in area #1 as REQEXAMP.DOC
/A=ALLFILES.ZIP /N=NEWFILES.ZIP
ProBoard will search all area's for the files ALLFILES.ZIP and
NEWFILES.ZIP.
There's no REQUEST example file specified. The entry in the FileReq menu
to download the example will be disabled.
/A=ALLFILES.ZIP /E=M:\PB\PEX\REQEXAMP.DOC
ProBoard will search all area's for the file ALLFILES.ZIP.
If the user wants to download the REQUEST example, ProBoard will use the
file M:\Pb\Pex\ReqExamp.Doc.
There's no NEWFILES file specified. The entry in the FileReq menu to
download the NEWFILES will de disabled.

╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Euh... just install it and try it. I don't think you need any more
documentation...
