MAXFREQ v2.0
Offline File Request Handler for Maximus 3.x
(c) 1996 by John Medland
PHOTO 334 BBS! Toronto Canada (416) 539-9591 1:250/840
DESCRIPTION
An offline file system for Maximus. Takes, and deals with, requests from
your callers for files listed as offline. Does everything but get the
backup disk! Searches for disk number, shows area where file should be
copied, can process/run vircheck.bat on the file as it is added, run FB
on the area, send caller a "file is online" message AND take the file
offline again in `n' days.
REQUIREMENTS
To send auto-messages to callers, you need MSGPOST.EXE. MSGPOST can be
found on most BBS systems as MSGPST10.ZIP. You can FREQ it from the above
address if you can't find it locally.
INSTALLATION
1) Create a directory from your Maximus directory called \MAXFREQ and
move all files into that directory.
2) PKUNZIP THISTIME.ZIP and move THISTIME.COM, THISTIME.DOC and TESTTHIS.BAT
to your Maximus directory.
3) Edit Menus.ctl and add a menu choice for MAXFREQ:
Display_File maxfreq\maxfreq Normal "*Offline files"
4) Silt MAX
5) Put MSGPOST.EXE in your Maximus directory.
6) Add the following line to your daily maintenance batch file, so that
it runs once per day:
call \max\maxfreq\reqdaily.bat
7) Edit WELCOME.MEC and add the following line:
[eq s][link]maxfreq\reqtic.bbs
8) Run MECCA.EXE on WELCOME.MEC.
9) If you want to process files as they are put online, edit REQPCESS.BAT
and make changes as you see fit. This file can run your vircheck.bat.
10) Start Maximus, run the program, and use `Setup' to select your editor,
message area, and disk search method.
GUARANTEES
None. By using this program, you agree to do so at your own risk.
