- Description
- -----------
-
- Hi! Thanks for taking the time to download the latest copy of
- TriMast! What this program does, simply put, is make a master
- list of files on your TriBBS BBS so that your users can download
- and peruse it at their leisure.
-
- Disclaimer
- ----------
- Simply put, I accept no responsiblity for what this program does or
- does not do. Use it at your OWN RISK!!

-
- Directions for setup
- --------------------
-
- This part is easy! Just make a file called TRIMAST.CFG. I have
- included one so that you can see it. This file will contain
- the following:
-
- Line 1: BBS's name
- Line 2: Sysops first and last name
- Line 3: Path to your MAIN TriBBS work directory WITH a \ on the end!!
- (that '\' is VERY important!!)
- Line 4: Your Registration number (0 if unregistered)
- Line 5 and up contain the number of the file areas that you want
- in the master list of files, one per line.
- (up to 150 file areas)
-
- for example....This is the setup for my TRIMAST.CFG file:
-
- James Bond's Hideaway
- Randy Hunt
- D:\TriBBS\MWORK\
- 1234
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 5
- 6
-
- <END of example file>
-
- The file areas that would be included in the list are:
-
- 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6.
- The reason I don't have 4 included is because file area
- 4 on my board is for my use only. Get it? good.
-
- Anyway.
-
- Then all you do is (either in an event or from the command line) to
- type:
-
- TRIMAST filename
-
- where filename is the name you want to give to the master file list. This
- command line parameter is optional; if it's not given, TriMast will default
- to MASTER.LST.
-
- You will see it go thru the files, and you may
- even see an error if you have a bad area. Anwyay. Trimast will
- then drop you back to the command line. It just created a file
- called MASTER.LST, or whatever you asked it to be called.
- That's about it!
-
- Hint: You may want to put MASTER.LST (or whatever you called it)
- on your board along with a zipped version of it. Makes it
- much faster to download! <GRIN>

- Shareware
- ---------
- Please note that this is NOT crippleware. ALL features of TriMast can
- be used without registering it. But, for my time and energy, I would really
- appreciate the registration. Read on for an incentive:
-
- This product is SHAREWARE. Please help support shareware by
- registering TriMast. By registering, you will get your own
- registration number that will rid you of the [UNREGISTERED SHAREWARE]
- notice, and will in place say "Registered to: [Your name here]".
- The code will work with this, and all future versions of TriMast.
- This code will be mailed to you, in a letter.
- To order, print and fill out REGFORM.TXT and mail
- it to me along with a check payable in the amount of $10 (United
- States Funds ONLY) plus whatever other charges might be found
- in REGFORM.TXT, to the address at the bottom of the form.
-
-
- Yes, TriMast is now ShareWare. I decided I really needed to get
- something out of the programs I write. I spend a lot of time on
- each of my utilities, and feel that I should, as such, be
- compensated. Please register your sharware!
-
- Read this!
- ----------
-
- If and when you register, make SURE that the name you put for
- "Your Name" on the registration form is the SAME NAME that is
- in your TRIMAST.CFG file! This is what the registration number
- is based on!!!!
