ADD2BBS will help you add new files to your BBS.
If you are like me, every time you download an interesting file from a
BBS, after testing it, you move it to your "new uploads" directory,
then load your PCBFiler and type in a description for the file.
This program will help you automate this procedure by:
- reading the names of the files contained in a DOS directory,
(containing the newly downloaded files)
- search a text file for the description of those files,
(the log file of the connexion to the BBS
or an ALLFILES.TXT kinda ASCII file)
- move the files to your new uploads directory,
- copy the descriptions from the log file to your NEW_UPL.DIR.
If need be, a call to an external (exe, batch or whatever) program is
possible when using ADD2BBS. I use this to scan the .Zip files for
virus, remove any comment they have and replace it by my own before
"uploading" them to my board.
Quick summary of features:
──────────────────────────
- if a description corresponding to a file to be moved is not found,
that file will remain unchanged,
- it can get its input from a large description file regardless of the
amount of memory available,
- several line descriptions are taken into account,
- the description is copied from the input file but the file date & time
are given directly by DOS right before moving the file,
(and after the external batch is processed)
- it is well behaved enough to be used under a network,
- it can be used with or without a config file, etc ...
I hope you find this program useful and if you need any help, feel free
to call my BBS or leave me a message on Salt Air (it'll be cheaper :-)
The C source is included, but if you modify it (because you had a
briliant idea !) it would be nice to let me know what you did and also
indicate in the doc what you've done if you plan to upload it somewhere.
DISCLAIMER : This programs wasn't written with the intention of making
it available to the public, but I think any sysop could use it, so I
decided to upload it on Salt Air. I assume NO RESPONSIBILTY for this
program or any damage that may occur from its use !
