> RALFTGUDSMRKCOH|
UA AREA CHANGE
UA Lets you select another message area. Type "A" alone to see
UA a list of available areas. You may also type a number immediately
UA following the "A" to move directly to another area (e.g. A1, A;2).
UL LOCATE
UL Locate a file based on a short sequence of characters. THIS
UL COMMAND SEARCHES ALL FILE AREAS, NOT JUST THE CURRENT AREA.
UL Locate does not use MS-DOS "wildcards"; it does, however match
UL the character sequence to both the file name and description.
UL
UL For example, if you type "L;arc" ... you might get this:
UL huge.ARC 123456 this is a large file
UL fstextr.exe 2250 a fast way to unARC a file
UF FILE TITLES
UF Lists files available in the current file area. Also lists
UF file's size in bytes, date uploaded, and a short description.
UF If the file is new since your last call, you'll see an asterisk
UF "*" next to the date uploaded.
UT TYPE
UT Displays a text file on the screen. Only works with text files.
UG GOODBYE
UG Log off from Opus; hang up.
UU UPLOAD
UU Lets you send a file from your disk to Opus, provided your
UU terminal software supports this. Check your documentation
UU for details.
UU 1. Tell Opus you want to U)pload a file.
UU 2. Select the file transfer "protocol" you want to
UU use - Opus will give you a list to choose from.
UU 3. Tell Opus the name of the file you'll be sending.
UU 4. Finally, when Opus says, "Ready to receive...", tell
UU your terminal program to send the file.
UD DOWNLOAD
UD Tells Opus to send a file to you, provided your terminal software
UD supports this. Check your program documentation for details.
UD To get a file from Opus:
UD 1. Tell Opus that you want to D)ownload a file.
UD 2. Select the file transfer "protocol" you want to
UD use - Opus will give you a list to choose from.
UD (Ask the Sysop which protocols are most efficient)
UD 3. Tell Opus the name of the file you want to receive.
UD (MS-DOS "wildcards" work with some of the protocols.)
UD 4. Finally, when Opus says "Ready to send...", tell your
UD terminal program to receive the file.
US STATISTICS
US Shows systems statistics: time online, amount uploaded, etc.
UM MAIN MENU
UM Tells Opus to leave the FILES SECTION and return to the MAIN MENU.
UR RAW DIRECTORY
UR Shows any or all filenames, regardless of the entries in the
UR file directory (FILES.BBS). Accepts MS-DOS "wildcards". Many
UR BBS's reserve this command for higher access levels only.
UR Here is kinda how wildcards work:
UR
UR *.ARC <-- Selects all files with extension .ARC
UR FOOBAR.* <-- All FOOBAR files, regardless of extension
UR *.* <-- All files.
UR FOO???.* <-- All files with the first three characters equal to
UR "FOO", the next three characters equal to anything,
UR and any extension.
UC CONTENTS
UC Guess what? Opus will display the contents of .ARC (Archive)
UC and .LBR (Library) files. These files are actually several
UC smaller files locked into one large one for ease of transmission.
UKLS KILL
UKLS Allows you to either (1) Delete a file both from the disk and
UKLS from the file directory (FILES.BBS), or (2) remove the filename
UKLS from FILES.BBS without actually deleting the file.
UOLS OUTSIDE FILE MANAGEMENT
UOLS Opus now has an O)utside command specifically for the Files
UOLS Section. It can be used for file area maintenance utilities
UOLS or anything else. See OPUS.CTL and other appropriate Opus
UOLS documentation for details.
UHLS HURL
UHLS Allows you to "hurl" a file from one file area to another.
