Introduction
────────────
I started this program about 4 months ago. (Off and on work mostly) and
after looking arrond at the programs that were avaliable, I thought that
WWIV sysops need a cheap and simple way of doing things on their system
so I came up with the idea of the WWIVpro utilities. This is the first
with a User Editor comming by the end of July. Most of these programs
will be DonateWare. DonateWare is where you donate money to the author
but you are in no way reqired to. (Kinda like freeware but futher
development of the program would be encouraged by a donation)
Setup
─────
Setup is simple, unzip all of the files in this archive to a directory
some where. You could also unzip this file to your BBS or DATA
directories.
Config
──────
The config is allmost as easy. I have designed the program to take
either command line switches, a INI style file, or a mix of both.
Command Line Parameters
───────────────────────
This is a list of all of the switches avaliable on the command line.
You will see a direct comparison between these and the config file
statements. I recomend using a config file for everything except a
quick spur of the moment file listing.
/HELP or /? Displays A Quick Help Screen
/DSL=nnn DSL To Print Files For (ex 95)
/DAR=x DAR To Print Files For (ex A)
/CONF=x Confrence To Print Files For (ex W)
/AGE=nn Minimum Age of DIR Access (ex 18)
/LISTTYPE=n What List Type To Print (1 to 4)
/OUT=filename File Name to Output File List To (Include Path)
/CFG=filename CFG File To Use (Include Path)
/HEADER=filename Header File To Use (See Doc For Info)
/DATADIR=path Location of Data Dir (Path Only ex D:\BBS\DATA)

INI Style Config Files
──────────────────────
The INI config files are very straight forward. It works allmost
like WWIV.INI except there are no [LALA] section names. (I am
planning support in the next version for you to put your configs
into sections of WWIV.INI like [General] and then you would put
a /CFG=General,WWIV.INI or something along those lines on your
command line to read it from WWIV.INI) NOTE: You can only have
one config per file!
DSL=nnn DSL To Print Files For (ex 95)
DAR=x DAR To Print Files For (ex A)
CONF=x Confrence To Print Files For (ex W)
AGE=nn Minimum Age of DIR Access (ex 18)
LISTTYPE=n What List Type To Print (1 to 4)
OUT=filename File Name to Output File List To (Include Path)
HEADER=filename Header File To Use (See Doc For Info)
DATADIR=path Location of Data Dir (Path Only ex D:\BBS\DATA)
The Header Files
────────────────
The header file is a idea I stole form the PCBoard file lister called
RWDir (A very old PCB Program!) What you do is put a logo or some
thing like that in it. When you use the HEADER option FLG will put
the contents of the specified file on the top of the file list.
There are 2 replacement codes that can be put in the header files.
@@@DATE@@@ The Date When FLG Started
@@TIME@@ The Time When FLG Started
The reason for the size of the codes is that the represent the
actuall size of the output. This is good if you want to put a border
arround your header and want the sides to match up. Dates come out
like 07-09-1995 and times like 09:45 am. Look at the sample file
HEADER1.TXT for a example of the codes.

The LISTTYPE option allows you to create 4 different types of
listings. Here are examples of each:

Thank you for downloading, looking at, and hopefully using my
program. Remember, this is DonateWare so if you want some
special enhancement or anything like that, send me a letter
with a small donation (Like $5) and a note with what you would
like added or changed in the program & I'll see what I can do
about it.
