***The Shadow's EdGe ReadFile.Rexx V0.9***
For CNet3.X (Not yet tested with other Versions)
By FishBone
***What Is It?***
This is a simple little rexx script I wrote to replace the standard
RF command. The advantages are:
1: It pops up a file requestor on the CNet Screen (Using
Rexxreqtools.library)
2: It is able to select Multiple files at once.
3: Uses requestors for local calls ONLY, otherwise it resorts
back to the origanal RF.
***REQUIRMENTS***
Cnet V3.x (not yet tested with 4.x)
Reqtools.library, Version 38.1436** (NOT INCLUDED)
rexxreqtools.library, Version 37.95** (NOT INCLUDED)
** May Work with earlier versions of these libs. These are
the versions I am using. The Latest version of reqtools
are available on aminet in util/libs/ReqToolsUsr.lha
***Files Included***
Read.rexx
This is the main Proggy.
Read.doc
The doc file you are reading
ShadEdGe.Gif
A blatant (not to mention Shameless) ad for My BBs!
***Installation***
1: Move Read.rexx to somwhere in your Pfiles: dir.
(i.e. pfiles:bbs/)
2: Load BBs menu into a text editor.
3: Under 1; Maintenance menu, change the command "RF, Read File"
so that it reads "!!RF, Read File" (Without the quotes, of course)
(IMPORTANT!! Must be renamed to "!!RF" for remote use!)
4: At the end of 1; Maintenance menu add the comand
RF |{#0pfiles:bbs/read.rexx}
^ ^
^ Be sure this is the path where you placed
^ the file!
CTRL Q, Of course!
5: Reload bbstext/menu & your set to go!
***Usage***
Just type RF from any prompt (with maintenance enabled.) If you are
on a local port, a file requestor will appear. Select the file you want
to view. If you want to view more than one file, hold down the select key
while selecting files. You wil be prompted with a "Press Return....."
Between files.
If you are calling remote, it will work the same as the original RF
Command, prompting you for a file to read.
***NOTE***
This version does not accept arguments! Will be fixed soon!!
I.E. "rf cnet:ansi/amiga.ans" will give you the same prompt to enter
a file name as if you had just entered "rf".
***Registration***
I know what your thinking, "You Must Be kidding!!!"
Well, actually I am. All I ask is to know if you use this program, and any
comments, suggestions, ideas, &/or bug reports you may have. Just so I know
if this program is getting any use, and how things are going! Also feel free
to send any suggestions for future CNet programs, (anything you think useful,
as this program itself was written on request!)
