- What IS tapestuf?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Tapestuff is a program I worte specifically for the Jumbo tape streamer since
- I got pretty tired looking for a tape door that worked <grin>.Tapestuf will
- read a PCBOARD.SYS file for all the essential info.. all you DORINFOx.DEF guys
- cal also use it 'cos it does not write to the users or any files, just calculates
- time.. thats all.
-
- Quick Start
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- OK. Here goes, TapeStuf has a few basic files.. Well more than a few <grin>,
- there is TAPESTUF.CFG which the format is a basic 4
- line Config file.
- Line 1 - RBBS for Dorinfox.def
- PCB for PCBOARD
- GAP for GAP Systems
- WC for Wildcat
- SF for Spitfire
- Line 2 - Path to your Exit config file (path the PCBOARD.SYS etc)
- Line 3 - Sysop's First & Last Name
- Line 4 - Locked Ports BAud Rate (0 for No Locking)
-
-
- There is TAPE.KEY, if you register this door, you will recieve your own custom
- key.. but this program is NOT crippled in any way.. Just support Shareware!
-
- Then there are the VOLUME file.. which you just have to make to say what is on
- your tape....
-
- DIR1 -> DIR20 (DIR1 may only be in this ZIP file)... these are the volume
- directory files, DIR1 is Volume 1, DIR2 is Volume 2 ...... etc (you get the drift)
- you can use ANSI in this file BUT dont use it in the first 12Characters.. since
- that is reserved for the filename.. I would not advise ANSI in these files.
-
- I Recomend the PcBoard type Format WITHOUT the @X Color Codes.. just plain ASCII
-
-
- TAPESTUF is the Main file, this Door Supports up to 115KBaud.. oh and there are
- a few command line params... TSTUFF7 <CONFIG FILE>, so you can make it multi-
- node <grin>
-
-
- NSTUFF4 is the program that will read the FLAGLIST which is created by
- TAPESTUF Door when the user flags a file for restore.. this file is called
- 'FLAGFILE'.. this Program will read the flagfile and restore the files on
- volumes specified by the user... The user can NOT flag a file that is NOT in
- the DIR files, it will just report "FILE NOT FOUND" so you can have security
- on that part..
-
-
-
- NITESTUF.CFG is just the config file.. 3 lines long, First is the Sourcepath
- from the tape... I advise you to leave the Drive out on that selection.. read
- the CFG file for more info!
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
- Here Goes (Fooled you!)
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Copy all the CFG files,DIR files and a copy of your TAPE software.. TAPE.* from
- your tape software.., then just set the CFG files and then you are READY to go.
- P.S. The DIR files can be any format (PCBOARD Preferred), just as long
- as the filename is up to the first 12 characters in the DIR file...
- then let her RIP!!!
-
- After the user has flagged a few files..(Multiple tagging is allowed), just run
- the program. NITESTUF.EXE after the caller or in your event..
-
- P.S. HAve the dir name on your tape the same as tour HDD ..
- e.g. Tape-> \TAPE
- HDD -> \TAPE
- Since the tape software is not allowing me to specify where I want the
- file placed
