RWDir
Download Files Lister
=====================
Vers 1.0C Beta 3/25/92
RWDLIST.EXE is a utility to create DOWNLOAD LISTS from a PCBoard's
File Directories. It can Merge in your HEADERS (produced by RWDir),
and optionally strip out "Uploaded by" records from the directories
Since this is Beta, the dox will be a little sparse...
Copy and RUN RWDLIST.EXE from inside your \RWDIR\ directory!
You must pass a command line parameter to it; the name of the
configuration file for RWDLIST.EXE to use! Example:
RWDLIST dlist01.cfg
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
--> name of your configuration file you want to use
(any name can be used)
CONFIGURATION FILE LAYOUT and OPTIONS:
-------------------------------------
The Cfg file may contain any of several optional parameters, in
any order:
HEADERS=YES or NO [OPTIONAL]
Do you want to have the HEADERS Included in the listing?
Default is YES. (@X## PCB Color codes will be removed from all
headers prior to writing into the download listing.)
UPBYREC=YES or NO [OPTIONAL]
Default is YES. Directory records with "Uploaded by" WILL be
included. (use NO to have them removed)
TOPFILE=filename [OPTIONAL]
If you want RWDLIST.EXE to Merge a file on the TOP of the
Download list, place its filename here. Omit this if you do
Not have/need for it.
BOTFILE=filename [OPTIONAL]
If you want RWDLIST.EXE to Merge a file at the END of the
Download list, place its filename here. Omit this if you do
Not have/need for it.
OUTFILE=filename [REQUIRED]
This is the filename which you want to use for the actual
Download listing file. If it already exists, it will be
overwritten!
RWDLIST: Second Beta Release New Features:
============================================= 03/17/92 rd.
Page Breaks! You may specify the number of lines-per-page before
we insert a FORMS FEED character. Use the following cfg parameter:
PAGEBRK=## If you do NOT want ANY page-breaks, specify ZERO, else
enter the # of lines per page. 60 or less recommended!
When PAGEBRK is used (non-zero), RWDList will insert forms-feed
characters every ## lines (as specified in PAGEBRK=##) *AND* at
the begining of Every new Header.
Each new Page will contain a forms-feed, BBSNAME, and a Pg Number.
LaserJets print 60 lines-per page; DeskJets 57- be nice¡ Not all
printers print 66 lines on a page!!
BBSNAME= ... up to 70 characters in length (Dont use "@" codes!)
(it would be smart to include your bbs phone # here!)
Works in conjunction with PAGEBRK parameter. If Page Breaks are to
be produced, the top of every new page will include this info;
EXCEPT when a new page was forced because of a HEADER! The BBSNAME
is NOT included in the page-break on HEADERS-
RWDLIST: Third Beta Release New Features:
============================================= 03/25/92 rd.
Added Configuration parameter: REMOVE|=YES/NO
Default = YES
This will remove those pesky little | characters from the Directory
secondary description lines.
Added Configuration parameter: /M:filename
Like TOPFILE and BOTFILE except that you may place this anywhere
After the other parameters and the filename will be merged into
the download list file. It can NOT appear Before the TOPFILE nor
after the BOTFILE parameters!! TOPFILE will ALWAYS BE FIRST, and
BOTFILE will ALWAYS BE LAST. /M: files can be used JUST BEFORE the
First Directory Filename record in the cfg, inbetween any directory
filenames, and CAN be the last line in the Cfg (it will display
after the last Directory and BEFORE the BOTFILE)
Included a file called FORMFEED.RWD which contains nothing more
than a printer control code to advance to the Next-page. Usefull
if the file you are Merging (/M:) doesnt have one and its needed.
MERGED FILES are NOT stripped of any PCB "@" codes !! If you need
to have these codes removed, create a stripped version of the file
using one of the many utilities available to create one. This
utility removes "@X##" color codes and @CLS@ ONLY from Dir HEADERS
that were produced by RWDir!

directories are being viewed by an online caller.
