FOKF100.EXE -- Fixes FrontDoor OKFILE.TXT Files -- (C) by Chris O'Neill
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
PURPOSE: In order to process file requests, FrontDoor requires a file
listing the file areas to be searched. In the FrontDoor setup
menu, this file is called the "Okfile" so (being a brilliant
guy!) I chose the name OKFILE.TXT for the file on my system.
This program reads the OKFILE.TXT and removes any listings
where the subdirectory no longer exists. As well, it makes
sure that each entry contains a trailing "\" as FrontDoor
requires one. Finally, it makes sure each listing is in
upper case (yeah, I know it doesn't matter, but I'm picky!)
REQUIRES: Nothing! Well, uhhh... it DOES require a file that lists
the subdirectories that you want FrontDoor to search when
a file request comes in.
OPERATION: Real simple! Just copy FOKF100.EXE into any directory on your
hard drive (I recommend you use the same directory that
FrontDoor is in), then run FOKF100 using the following syntax:
FOKF100 filename
Where "filename" is the name of the file that contains the
listing of subdirectories. (If you forget to add the
"filename" parameter, don't worry 'cause FOKF100.EXE will
remind you with a friendly help screen.)
WARRANTY: This thing will definately take up space on your hard drive.
That's all I guarantee it will do, although I can say that
it DOES work on my system.
SUPPORT: Yeah, right! ;-) Actually, if you have any comments about
FOKF100.EXE that you'd like to pass on to me, send netmail.
Please DON'T send flames.... my ego is fragile!
COST: Give your kids a hug. Give some money to your favorite
charity. Recycle something. Whatever. Just DON'T send
ME money... Having to worry about what to do with my
new-found millions will drive me nuts!
FOR THOSE FOFK100.EXE was written using Microsoft QuickBASIC v4.5 and
WHO CARE: ADVBAS v99B by Thomas G. Hanlin III. One of these days,
when I have more time and money, I'm gonna learn how to do
it in C/C++. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy it for what
it is.
