WHAT IS GENERATE?
=================
Generate is a program designed to be used with the IPAD. The ipad
is esoft's internet protocal adapter. The Ipad gives you a quick and
easy way to become an ISP connection to the internet. For more information
on IPAD you can visit their web page at http://www.esoft.com. This program
is not web server dependant. As long as you have the IPAD you can run this
program.
What Generate does is automatically create a web page for you that lists
all the people on your site who actually have web pages installed. In order
for this to work all member's web pages must be called index.htm. Also some
strict positioning must be followed in your ftp.usr file and comments added.
WHAT'S NEW
==========
This is version 1.0. This is the first ever release of this program.
This program is a DEMO version. It will only let you create 5 users on your
members web page. The full version can be purchased for $20. See ORDERING
INFORMATION for more information on ordering Generate.
You can always find the latest demo of this program at:
ftp://ftp.zipnet.net/users/cheryl/generate.zip
OR

INSTALLATION
============
Installing Generate is as simple as un-zipping it into a directory in
your path. This does not need to be on the IPAD itself. It can be on any
machine that has access to both your web page directory and your IPAD's
ftp.usr file.
Before running this program you need to do run the ftpfix program on your
ftp.usr file. The program makes sure the following is true.
1) Name starts in the first position.
2) Password starts in the 21st position.
3) Path starts in the 42nd position.
4) Permissions start in the 123rd position.
To run this program you type ftpfix <path to ftp.usr file>. This is ONLY the
path. ftp.usr get's added on by the program.
After running that you program you must manually edit your ftp.usr file.
You need to add every valid user entry a comment. This comment should that
users real name. This name will be used in the web page to say who the user is.
Also you must create the web page you want the list of member's who have
web pages. When you have the page you want it you must divide it into two
parts. The first part being the top half of your web page before the list of
users and the second one being the bottom half of your web page that comes
after the list of your users. These files must be called the same as the web
page you want created with the last character before the .htm being changed to
a 1 or a 2 depending on if it is the first half or the second half.
Now to run the program you need two parameters. The first one being the
full path and filename of your IPAD's ftp.usr file. The second one is the full
path and filename of the web page you want to hold the list of your member's
who have web pages. let's take the following as an example.
Path/filename of ftp.usr: c:\ipad\control\ftp.usr
Path/filename of list of members web page: f:\httpd\htdocs\members.htm
With the following example I would create two files for my web page
called member1.htm and member2.htm. Than to run Generate I would issue the
following command:
generate c:\ipad\control\ftp.usr f:\httpd\htdocs\members.htm
You can have this program run anytime you wish by using a scheduler
and hence have your new member's list page created automatically for you.
