Identi-Filer v2.03 Documentation
================================
DISCLAIMER
----------
This program is guaranteed to do nothing more than take up space.
By using this software, you the user, agree that any coincidental
damage arising from its use or misuse is the sole responsibility
of the user and not of the authors. This program was designed with
a single purpose in mind and we are positively sure that it does
nothing more than what we claim.
Note: I have included PKUNZIP.EXE and ARJ.EXE which are required
to run this software. PKUNZIP and ARJ are distributed as
shareware and require registration with their respective
authors. We are not responsible for any consequences arising
from their use.
I have also included LIST.COM which Identi-Filer calls for
when you choose to view the created listing. LIST.COM is also
shareware and requires registration by the user with its authors.
==========================================================================
This program was compressed with COMPACK v4.5
---------------------------------------------
Instructions
------------
First, This program requires a key to operate. I have included a demo
key in the original ZIP file. If the key is missing, call the BBS listed
below to request a new one. ** The program will not run without it. **
Edit the ID.CFG with any text editor. Instructions are listed inside
the ID.CFG. This is your configuraton file. It is very simple.
Sample ID.CFG
-------------
C:\IDFILER <- 1st Line Drive and path of Identi-Filer's home directory.
FILES.BBS <- 2nd Line Default text file name to create.
YES <- 3rd Line YES=List all files NO=List .ZIP and .ARG only.
YES <- 4th Line YES=Write header at the top of the lists.
NO=No header. *Note* Unregistered versions can
only disable part of the header.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
RUN IT. Enter the drive letter and path of your source directory that
contains .ZIP archive files. Then, enter the drive letter and path of
the directory you wish your text file listing to be written. Thats it.
The program does the rest.
Example: Source drive and path :? C:\DOWNLOADS
Target drive and path :? C:\TEXTFILES
Pressing ENTER at the Source drive and path prompt will abort the program
and return you to your DOS prompt. If you have entered a drive and path
then you can simply press ENTER at the Target drive and path prompt to
use the same as the Source.
*** NOTE *** This program assumes that PKUNZIP, ARJ and LIST.COM
can be found in your path. However, I have included
them with the original program archive for your convenience.
What does it do?
----------------
This program searches all .ZIP and .ARJ archived files in the specified
directory for a text file called FILE_ID.DIZ. This is a description file
found in most .ZIP and .ARJ files describing the archived program.
Identi-Filer then extracts the FILE_ID.DIZ and reads it. It then writes
this description to a text file of your choosing which will contain
the complete listing of every .ZIP and .ARJ file in the specified directory
along with their descriptions. The text file can be used for importing
files into a BBS database, CD-ROM Door, or can simply be used as a catalog
listing of your archived collections.
If Identi-Filer finds a text file listing by the same filename as chosen
at startup in the target path, it will rename it with a .OLD extension.
This program is very simple and has much room for improvement and change
so try it out and then give me all of your suggestions, comments, and
ideas. I will do what I can to incorporate your ideas into future versions.
This version of Identi-Filer is SHAREWARE. This means that you can
try it out for a period of time and then either pay me for it or
discontinue using it. It is unlawful to continue using shareware programs
after the initial demo period.
* THE DEMO PERIOD FOR "IDENTI-FILER" IS 30 DAYS. *
If you enjoy this program and would like to continue using it then please
register it.
