area and pressing <ENTER>. You can exit from FileMan at the main menu
by pressing <CTRL><X>.
After you select a file area to be edited, FileMan will read in the
file area's file list. You will then be able to sort the file list,
scan the file area for any files that aren't included in the list,
delete files, edit a file's description, check a file to see if it has
a FILE_ID.DIZ or DESC.SDI description file, and more. To perform one
of these operations you only need to move to the appropriate command
button and press <ENTER>. You can move around the edit file list
dialog box by pressing either the <TAB> or <SHIFT><TAB> keys. When
you exit from the edit file list dialog box, TriBBS will save the
edited file list.
You should note that FileMan has an upper limit of 1000 files per file
area. Also you should be aware that FileMan does not support file
sharing. So you should not edit the file lists when somebody is
online.
MakeIdx
-------
TriBBS allows you to optionally search for files by index files
instead of using the DOS directory functions. This can greatly speed
up searching large file areas such as CD-ROM file areas. Before
MakeIdx can generate an index file for a file area, you must specify
an appropriate index file name using TriMan's file area editor.
MakeIdx can be run using one of the following three formats:
MAKEIDX
This will display a list box of all of the file areas that
have been configured to use an index file. Simply move the
highlight bar to the appropriate file area and press enter
or double click it with a mouse. Press ESC to exit from
MakeIdx.
MAKEIDX /ALL
The /ALL switch is used to run MakeIdx from either the DOS
command line or from within a batch file. This switch will
have MakeIdx generate index files for any file areas that
are configured to use index files.
MAKEIDX /F:n1[-n2]
The /F: switch is used to run MakeIdx from either the DOS
command line or from within a batch file. This switch will
have MakeIdx generate an index file for a specified file
area if it is specified using /F:n1, where n1 is the file
area to be indexed. The /F: switch can also create index
