  12. │ Description   │ Flags all new files later than specified date within a    │
  13. │               │ range of directories and flags them for download.         │
  14. │               │ Additionally a capture file with all descriptions         │
  15. │               │ will be zipped and flagged for download.                  │
  16. │               │                                                           │
  17. │               │ There will be as many files flagged as you set the batch  │
  18. │               │ limit in your PWRD file.                                  │
  19. │               │                                                           │
  20. │               │ If the user is in novice mode the FLAGNEW file will be    │
  21. │               │ displayed to help him to choose the directory.            │
  22. │               │                                                           │
  23. │               │ The filename for the zipped capture file is FDESCxxx.ZIP  │
  24. │               │ where xxx is the current node number.                     │
  25. │               │                                                           │
  26. │               │ This PPE does not use the N D function of PCBoard to flag │
  27. │               │ files for two reasons:                                    │
  28. │               │                                                           │
  29. │               │ a) To flag the FDESCxxx.ZIP we have to take care about    │
  30. │               │    the max. files allowed for batch download              │
  31. │               │ b) This PPE will stop the scan when max. files for        │
  32. │               │    batch download are reached.                            │
  33. │               │                                                           │
  34. │ Installation  │ The intended use for this PPE is for it to be executed in │
  35. │               │ your CMD.LST file.  Go into PCBSETUP, File Locations and  │
  36. │               │ go to Configuration Files.  Find CMD.LST and press F2 to  │
  37. │               │ edit it.  Add a new command called "FN", give it whatever │
  38. │               │ security level you want and in the PPE/REPLACEMENT field  │
  39. │               │ add the following line:                                   │
  40. │               │                                                           │
  41. │               │ C:\PCB\PPE\FLAGNEW.PPE C:\TEMP [DEFAULT_DIR]              │
  42. │               │                                                           │
  43. │               │ C:\TEMP ist the directory where the zip file with the     │
  44. │               │ capture will be created.                                  │
  45. │               │                                                           │
  46. │               │ The optional parameter DEFAULT_DIR allows you to set      │
  47. │               │ the default for the directories to scan. If not given     │
  48. │               │ it will be set to A.                                      │
  49. │               │                                                           │
  50. │               │ When you intend to install it with a command FLAGNEW      │
  51. │               │ or similar you have to add the command FLAG with level    │
  52. │               │ 0 and keystroke FLAG before the PPE command to avoid a    │
  53. │               │ neverending loop! This is due to PCBoards internal        │
  54. │               │ command checking.                                         │
