Version 2.0 Compiled 08/09/93
A Public Domain Utility for Wildcat! SysOps
from The Development System BBS
(071) 388 4764
WHAT IT DOES:
=============
TidyList simple scans your WildCat! files database and creates an ASCII
report listing new files. The areas scanned and number of days to look
for are easily configured from within TidyList.
TidySess was originally written to alow automatic messages to be sent via
a local mail network (TheNet, UK) so other Sysops could see what I'd got <g>
SETTING UP:
===========
Just copy the TIDYLIST.EXE to anywhere in your Dos path. TidyList only uses
one Environmental variable, WCHOME, and you should all have that!
The first time TidyList is run, or when you want to change the setup, you
will need to enter;
TIDYLIST SETUP
this will then present you with a familiar WildCat! scroll window listing
the available file areas. All the usual keys work here, (Up, Dn, PgUp, PgDn,
Ctrl-C, Ctrl-S, F10, Esc). The left & right arrow will allow you to change
the number of days back TidyList will search. [ESC] will abort the setup,
nothing will be saved! [F10] will exit and save the configuration.
RUNNING THE PROGRAM:
====================
TidyList was designed to be run sometime after MidNight, with the number
of days to search set at 1. This will then create a list of files uploaded
yesterday. If TidyList is run before Midnight then the number of days should
be Zero to list files uploaded today!
Simple add the following line to your daily batch file;
TIDYLIST
The all you need to do if check for a file named 'TIDYLIST.TXT' in the
current directory, and decide what to do with it!
IF EXIST TIDYLIST.TXT POSTMSTR /C:12 /I:TIDYLIST.TXT /F:TDS
or
IF EXIST TIDYLIST.TXT COPY TIDYLIST.TXT C:\WC30\BULL\BULL12.BBS
There is no need to delete the TIDYLIST.TXT, as it will be removed next tidy
TidyList is run.

PROBLEMS, SUGGESTIONS
=====================
TidyList is Public Domain. I don't seek or accept any donations for this.
I welcome suggestions, and will try to help (no guarantees) if there are
problems. You may also leave a message via TheNet, WildNet or my BBS
number given above.
There are a few error messages and TidyList doesn't WRITE to any of your
WildCat! configuration files, it just READS them.
