BADFILES Processor v1.0 - (C) Andrew Ramsey 1994 The Keep BBS (215)855-0401
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description
-----------
BADFILES is a simple utility that will read in you existing BADFILES.LST
from you Wildcat! home directory and strip off all extensions except .GIF
extensions and replace them with an "*".
Example:
THEKEEP.ZIP would be written as THEKEEP.*
THEKEEP.GIF would be written as THEKEEP.GIF
This simple change to your BADFILES.LST can help prevent your users
from uploading duplicate files in a different compression method.
This is assuming you have compiled a list of files on you board or used a
utility to compile a list of files you have on CD-ROM.
BADFILES also has the ability to remove duplicate files from your BADFILES.LST.
If you have several CD's like I do you know that there are duplicates between
the various CD's. The more you can eliminate from your badfiles.lst the smaller
it will be. The smaller it is the faster Wildcat! will be able to search for
duplicates.
Duplicate checking is slow. There probably is a better way to write the dupe
checking section, but I whipped this utility out in a few minutes. It works.
If you decide to do dupe checking try to run it from a ramdisk. It is VERY
disk intensive.
