INTRODUCING MAPUS:
What is Mapus? Mapus is the ultimate solution for DMS files.
With it you can do all you want on these files. You can check them,
make, remove and add tail, track, front banners; all in a good and
functional mode.
WHY USE MAPUS AND NOT ANOTHER CHECKER?
Simple. Some doesn't work perfectly on all files, others doesn't
give you all informations about the file, and no-one let you
add your text files.
Mapus can be used with a BBS or into your script files or simply
to test your DMS files. Mapus is 100% tested for this functions.
HOW IT WORKS:
If you invoke Mapus with only its name, you'll get the syntax:
MaPuS [-<options>] FileName[.DMS] [DestFile]
Options is one of the followings:
a - Let you add front banner. But first make one with "m" option.
For this option you must pass source "FileName" (with or without
extension .DMS) and a destination "DestFile"name. (NOTE: If you
want to place destination files in RAM: see "s" option)
t - Let you add track banner. See "a" options for more informations.
To make a track banner see option "n".
r - Let you remove front banner. Pass source FileName and DestFile name
and Mapus will search and remove front banners and report you
results of operation.
k - Kill track banner. Same notes for "r".
m - Make front banner. If you want type the text file name or requester will
appear and let you select a filename for the add banner.
Mapus will place in S: a file called "Mapus.cfg". Now you can
add it with "a" option.
n - Make track banner. To add it use "t" option.
(NOTE: The format of the text file is: 64 colons (with return), 16 lines)
s - Don't check for disk space. Usefull if you work in the Ram Disk
(that is always full). Working on it you must specify this
option.
A - Add tail banner. To make it see "M" option.
(This is the fastest add)
R - Remove tail banners.
M - Make tail banner. Same choses for "m" and "n" options.
v - View only informations about DMS file, and don't check it.
g - Show some greetings.
u - Use arp requester to select the DMS file.
FileName can be without extension but type it yourself for
destination filename.
If you invoke Mapus with only source file name, it will be tested and
many informations about it are printed to the screen.
Please update your Mapus.cfg at every revision of Mapus.
EXAMPLES:
1) Check a file:
In this example I will suppose that you've a file in your DL: directory
called TEST.DMS and you want to test it.
Type: MaPuS DL:TEST or MaPuS dl:TEST.dms
it will be tested and you'll get some infos about the file.
2) Make a tail banner:
Type: MaPuS -M
3) Add a front banner and remove tail and track banners:
Type: MaPuS -AskR dl:TEST.dms ram:newTEST.dms
(Note s option for ram:)
4) If you want to use MaPuS with AmiExpress use the script included:
DMS that you must place in FCheck directory.

(it's the first text that will be displayed)
Track Banner: it's the zero-track that will displayed as text file.
MaPuS UPDATES:
0.** Sperimental versions never released.
0.84 First public version. For my decision public versions doesn't implement
"-t" and "-k" commands.
0.85 First registered version, got if you've called IRON LAW BBS.
0.86-0.91 Private versions.
Fixed some bugs, before "-k" command corrupted archives if there were
track and front banner.
0.92 Public version.
New option "-f". If you specify it, I will show informations about
every track.
0.93 Registered version.
0.94 Sperimental version never released.
0.95 Shareware version.
Fixed a bug in "-f" option (the infos were not displayed if the file
were selected from requester).
0.96 Shareware version.
Fixed a bug. Now MaPuS can be resident. Thanks to Felix for bug report.
0.97 Registered version.
FUTURE FEATURES:
Wildcards support, date of the add of the banner and some other features
for BBSes, banner display, scripts for failed or succeed tests (useful for
BBSes).
