version 0.997
Author: Jay Ruyle
1) Intro:
Would you like to have the ability to have a User's Alias listed as
the uploader instead of his Real Name? If yes, then think of using FDEdit
for your needs. An easy to install utility that is placed in your 3rd party
directory and called from a simple to add batch file!
2) Installing:
a) Move FDEdit to DLG: or wherever you place your 3rd Party Utilities
b) Edit DLGConfig:Batch/Upload1.Batch to call FDEdit. Sample below.
c) Now anytime a user uploads a file the file will be automatically
updated.
3) Sample Batch 1:
DLGConfig:Batch/Upload1.Batch
---
.key username,filename
DLG:FDEdit
---
4) History:
0.8 - Never Released - But 1st working version that changed the name
to garbage characters.
0.81 - Never Released - Fixed Garbage to actually readable characters
**** Here down were released to the public. ***
0.90 - Fixed problem of FDEdit cuasing memory grabing. Was using
memory and then not releasing it.
0.99 - Was using an index'd file which was not neccessary at all,
its use and now looks up the Alias more effeciently without
a bulky index file.
0.992 - Reduced the Passing variable to FDEdit:
DLG:FDEdit <filename> <port>
0.995 - Reduced the Passing variable once more to:
DLG:FDEdit <port>
Made FDEdit a little more Multi-Port compatible through the
use of Enviroment Variables
0.996 - Thanks to dlg.library documentation I have finally made
FDEdit fully Multi-Port Compatible. No need for enviroment
variables any more.
Reduced Passing variables for one last time to:
DLG:FDEdit
0.997 - Reduced size of FDEdit, it was making some unnessary calls
to system libraries which were slowing down its operation
by a couple of nano seconds. Main feature is that the file
a tad smaller.
0.998 - Changed the way the program exits.
0.999*- Beta Release - In final testing for the configuration file.
5) Future:
*1) Ability to configure areas to accept Real Names or Alias Names and
not just all areas!
2) If you want to Beta Test any of my future products you need to
contact me at one of the following adresses below. Also if you
get this file early enough and resond you could possibly one of
the few to recieve FDEdit 0.999.
6) Disclaimer:
I hate writting these, so the super quick version:
I do any way do not accept resposibilty of any damage this utility may
cuase indirectly or directly. I will correct any problems brought to my
attention and release a fix'd version!
7) Bugs:
NONE....
Though 0.999 is not tested fully yet!

9) Updating from FDEdit 0.995 and lower:
If you are updating from a previous version, especially from versions
0.992 to 0.995 you need to edit you listing of Upload back to normal instead
of a Menu Script, if you need help look below:
1) Letter: U
2) Built in function: File_Upload
4) Description: Upload
5) Type: Built in function
The Others you can fiddle with, and as of that batch file that was
there before, delete it, you wont need it anymore, as far as DLGEdit.
10) Other Soon Products
*1) AliasHack 1.3 - Improved to use the dlg.library
*2) AliasLink 1.31 - Improved to use the dlg.library & a fix for
the non-disapearing waiting mail
* - Formerly programed by Eric Buckner, and passed on to me.
