NE174v11 - (c) 1992 by Richard Molinelli
Date: 11/20/92 - v1.0 - first release
Date: 11/23/92 - v1.1 - fix to allow lower case in NOEXT.DEF
This small modification permits the SysOp to make a list and define file types
by extension which he/she does not want uploaded to their board. Some SysOps
do not want other archive types, or certain file types to be uploaded to their
BBS. An example would be if users were uploading large amounts of Adult
oriented GIF's and the SysOp did not want them. The SysOp need only to place
the GIF extension in the NOEXT.DEF file and the BBS will check the extension
of the file before accepting it. If the file had the extension GIF, the BBS
would tell the user that the file type is not "accepted here" and cycle back
without permitting the user to upload the file.
The BBS will check for the existance of the file NOEXT.DEF and, if found, read
in the file extensions the SysOp wants rejected. The SysOp must create this
file. It must be a pure ASCII file with no control codes of the type created
by word processors. A good file for this is QEDIT. You place the file
extensions, one to a line, in this file. A sample NOEXT.DEF is included as
an example. This file MUST reside in the RBBS directory (where your
RBBS-PC.EXE is located).
******************************************************************************
Date: 11/23/92
NEXT174 now allows lower case listings in the NOEXT.DEF file....small oversight
in the original code.
******************************************************************************
As with all my modifications, my recommendation is to install this merge by
hand if you have any other modifications which access any of the same line
numbers. If not, you can use Ken Goosens BLED v2.2 to perform this merge
for you. A batch file, NEXT174.BAT, is included to help you do this.
The batch file will install the merge and rename the original file to the
extension .OLD. You need simply to recompile the software in the usual
manner.
Files included in this archive are:
RSB5NEXT.MRG - merge for RBBSSUB5.BAS
NEXT174.DOC - this document
NEXT174.BAT - batch file to install merge
NOEXT.DEF - sample extension file
FILE_ID.DIZ - description file
Please let me know what you think. You can give my board a call to d/l many
other additional merge files. L8r.
