ADDFILES for Synchronet Modification History
============================================
**************
RELEASE: v1.00
**************
11/19/92 05:20pm
Description offset can now be specified after a "/list" parameter. This offset
will be used to skip any unwanted text on the line before the description. If
you have a FILES.BBS format that includes file sizes and dates, you'll want
to specify a description offset of 33. Example: ADDFILES GAMES /FILES.BBS 33
11/19/92 06:22pm
Multiple line descriptions will now be imported. If the first line the
description was shorter than 58 characters, the second line will be appended
to the normal description. If there is more than one line of description text,
then all the lines will be imported as an extended description. The above
mentioned description offset is used for additional description lines as well.
11/19/92 07:15pm
Single line descriptions of more than 58 characters will now be placed into
an extended description automatically.
**************
RELEASE: v1.01
**************
02/02/93 04:58pm
Changed /list parameter to +list.
02/02/93 04:59pm
Added optional file size offset parameter (following +list and description
offset) for importing file lists that have the file sizes. This is helpful
for importing CD-ROM file lists and offline file lists.
02/03/93 03:10pm
Added support for alternate file paths by specifing ".x" on the command line
where 'x' is the alternate file path number.
**************
RELEASE: v1.02
**************
03/17/93 12:41pm
When files are added that are already in the database, the entry is updated
with the new information and the upload date is reset. Previously, if a file
was already in the database, it would not be added and the information would
not be changed.
03/22/93 10:22am
Control characters are now stripped from descriptions. Keeps garbage out of
the file database.
04/13/93 09:36pm
Header lines are now stripped always. Filenames (even those without an
extension) must have a '.' in them. Otherwise, the line is assumed to be a
header and is ignored. Invalid characters (\/:[]+|, control characters,
extended ASCII, etc.) will not be allowed in filenames now.
04/16/93 06:18pm
Now works with relative directory paths (i.e. ..\DATA\DIRS\GAMES) if the
current directory is not the node directory.
04/17/93 04:27pm
When importing file lists, if an extended description alreay exists for a file,
it is deleted before a new extended description (if one exists) is created.
**************
RELEASE: v1.03
**************
05/12/93 03:50pm
If a file list is specified on the command line, but is not found in the
current directory, the storage path for that directory is searched. If the
file list exists, it will be imported from there.
05/12/93 03:50pm
If no file name or file lists are specified on the command line, ADDFILES
will look for the file <dircode>.LST in the current directory (as before). If
that file doesn't exist, it will look for FILES.BBS in the current directory
or in the directory's storage path.
05/12/93 04:27pm
Added /D option to delete list automatically after import. This is useful for
Fido SDN TICK file list importing where the list should be deleted after
import.
05/12/93 04:28pm
Added /E option to disable the importing of extended descriptions. This helps
reduce the number of extended description files that are created on your system
if importing large quanities of files that have long descriptions.
