*******************************************************************
NOTICE: PFED_033.ZIP going around is a HACK and possibly a VIRUS!!!
*******************************************************************
05/27/94 ßETA 40 ■- OVERLAY VERSION - I've seen the # of error
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ reports going increasingly up, seemed like more
ALL THOSE i added more memory problems i had. I've now put
ERROR #14's the archive viewer, boomlab, logs, and conf editor
into overlays. Program now takes about 210k or so
NEW OVERLAY to run, previously was 290ish. Should mean
VERSION! fewer problems, some functions will be quicker
also. Let me know if this helps. Max # of
files per dir is now 6,000 let me know if this
is a problem. Will optimizing more in the
future to run smaller. I think i didnt notice any
problems cause i had small file dirs, the larger ones
cause the problems. (The Master <THT>)
■- Add (B)BS Stats to conference menu, shows daily
BBS Stats totals for # calls, Posts, UL's, DL's, New Users
total time used & % in use. Input a starting
date and node # and it'll process the callers log.
■- To run the Master list from DOS, use 'PFED LIST' now.
■- Added error descriptions for a lot of errors.
■- MAJOR BUG - If PCBFiler put OFF-LINE for the date it
would hard crash PFED and you'd end up having to reboot.
OFF-LINE Bug PFED was putting OFF-LINE for filesize, now also puts
it for the date when deleting files. (The Master)
■- BUGS: If the strip courier/uploader was 'Y'
it would also strip blank lines - fixed.
Bugs... ∙ If doing a util from main conf menu, conference it
would always move the cursor back to conf 0 - fixed
∙ If a new dir was added or inserted it may
of gotten some garbage in it that wont let it work
- delete it and re-add or insert.
∙ BOOMLab doesn't like ASC chars #30 () & char #31 ()
so its strips them outta DIZ's it extracts.
05/25/94 ßETA 30 ■- Added a Standalone option for PFED, will work
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ without a BBS setup. Option #3 in Select BBS
(BOOM Archive Manager). For those who do a lot
Standalone of file transfers and would like to use the
Version features of PFED. File descs will be PCB style
(No BBS Req'd) 45 chars per line and up to 40 lines. Create a
tape dir and other dirs and use it as a tape
catalog - whatever.
■- (C) or Esc now changes file area or conference. (was A)
Added these New commands to file dir screen:
A = Add a NEW file directory, dir will be
Add/Delete added as the last file dir (except PCB
file dirs where Uploads & Priv dirs will be last)
D = Delete highlighted file directory.
I = Inserts a NEW file directory, dir will be
inserted before file dir that is highlighted.
L = Create master file list for this conf ONLY
■- Added a new feature for BOOMLAB v.05. If the
Strips UL'er "Strip Uploader\Courier Info from .DIZ (Y/N)" is
& Courier set to 'Y' in setup, it will strip courier info
from DIZ's from the DIZ. DIZ's are getting too damn long.
If it detects a line with Uploaded by, Spread
by, Traded by, or Courier... it will bybass it.
■- Viewing online GIFs with VPIC won't show exit text now.
■- BUG: If you had the same file DIR.LST for all your
conferences the master (L)ist, (Z)ippy Scan, New
(U)ploads would search/print them all. Now it won't
repeat scanning if same dir filename. (Waterman)
05/24/94 ßETA 29 ■- New Compile method frees about 17-18 more k memory,
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ which may help with some memory shortage problems
PFED reqs about 284k to run. Updated PF-PIF.DVP.
■- Added a switch for Remote Sysops. PFED -R tells PFED
to use 24 line mode. Makes remote operation smoother,
Remote Sysop screen jumps around less. Also included my PFED Door's
'-R' Switch batch file (DOORWAY.BAT) as an example of how to set
(24 line mode) it up for DOORWAY for PCBoard with the best switches.
You can edit and rename it to the door file (PFED).
∙ Key '?' now also displays help screens in PFED...for
remote sysops who can't use Function keys (F1).
Get GIFSPEC ■- Key '=' now reads and adds GIFSPEC [###x###] on
hot key highlighted file without having to go into edit mode.
For Tyler Ramsey an actual registered user!
@X Colors & ■- When viewing logs, or file dirs, or file searches,
ANSi Stripper etc... the viewer now inteprets PCB '@X' Codes into
colors & and just strips out the ANSi codes. (no colors)
■- Virus Scanning - Couldn't really do any virus scan's
in the archive viewer McAfee's Virus SCAN took 488k,
Tag for Virus and my program took about 283ish - wouldn't fit.
Scanning using Instead of rewritting mine ;) i added the possibility
User defined setting up other virus scanners under EXTERNAL PROGRAMS
Virus Scanner in setup. For Ex: ThunderByte Anti-Virus 6.12 was
faster, more colorful, and did a good job and was 232k
smaller!. McAfee's SCAN is the default but now you can
change it to your preference. Files can now be tagged
for virus scanning, press <S> after tagging.
Virus Scanner Proggy Mem Req Recommended Switches
------------------ ------- ------- -----------------------------
McAfee's SCAN v115 (SCAN) 488k /A /NOMEM /NOPAUSE /SUB /BELL
ThunderByte v6.12 (TBSCAN) 256k AF NM NB
■- BUG: If a date was in an invalid format, could error
out BOOMLAB and some functions such as DIZ extraction
BOOMLAB v.04 wouldn't be performed...espec with OS/2. Added more
valid date checking and error trapping -Fixed? (Waterman)
∙ BUG: BOOMLAB - DESC.SDI wasn't extracted, looked for
FILE_ID.DIZ twice. If FILE_ID.DIZ location was a byte
off it couldn't be extracted - Fixed.
∙ Dates now print as MM.DD.YY format instead of MM-DD-YY
■- Found that if PSETUP couldn't find your conference data
Bugs... it would keep going in a continous "CONFIG UPDATED or
CORRUPT" loop without telling you the problem - Fixed.
∙ Archive Viewer - Some archive comments (>80 chars per
line) caused the archive viewer to error out and not
display file. When pressing <Enter> alone, returned
and didn't use default path. When e<X>tracting, if a
file exist it didn't overwrite - fixed.
∙ Extended Char screen (F3) was wrong size - fixed.
05/19/94 ßETA 28 ■- Added a PFEDNUKE.LOG for all nuked files, for PCB
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ users this file is found in your PCB\MAIN dir or
whatever you've named it. This was designed to
PFEDNUKE.LOG be used with my PFEDNUKE.PPE v1.0* for PCBoard 15.1+.
& When this PPE is run it'll read this log and
PFEDNUKE.PPE either leave NUKE Mail or DELETE the offending
users! For Express it'll just log all nuked
files in the \PFED dir.
*This PPE is included in this ZIP in PFEDNUKE.ZIP.
■- BUG: Asks if you'd like to sort an area after moving
files even after sorting dir using <S> - Fixed.
∙ Fixed some PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN bugs in the setup.
05/17/94 ßETA 27 ■- To ZAP them damn BBS Ads, have added 2 new keys for
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ inside the Archive Viewer. To utilize these the
list of files to ZAP in BOOMLAB setup must be set.
Add or ZAP
BBS Ads in Z = Tag & ZAP BBS Ads (from ZAP List)
Arc Viewer B = Add highlighted BBS Ad file to ZAP List. I
could never remember to add em' manually.
■- Master Lists - Asks if you want to create list (Y/n)
in case it's accidentally selected from main.
■- Archive Viewer - BUG: When attempting to View, Play,
Run, or Scan a line not actually a file - it
would error out - Fixed (limited range). It was
possible to tag a blank line - Fixed. Now
keeps archive date (ARJ/ZIP) when deleting files.
Exploding boxes in the Arc Viewer are now faster.
■- When moving files, now shows %(pct) moved.
BUG: When moving over 100 files, the ### oƒ ###
didn't display right - fixed (Rifleman)
05/07/94 ßETA 26 ■- Added Create Master File List ([L]=List) to
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ main conference menu. Creates an Asc text file
listing of all confs/areas named 'FILES.LST'.
Master Files To use as a command line function use:
List >PSETUP LIST
If using in an event batch, make sure to run
from the PFED directory.
■- Nuking files is now easier, tag files, then do a
CTRL + N. It will leave nuke message and erase
the file and leave a 0 byte file, so it can't be
CTRL + N = uploaded again. Had to also add moving 0 byte
Nuke tagged, files, previously it errored out with an error
leave a 0 code 6. Files can then be deleted using the
byte file. normal 'D' key after a time. Considered
creating a seperate nuke files dir, but that
would be another thing people would Fuck up.
■- Exploding boxes are faster for those still with
386 SX's (Crack Daddy)
■- BUG: When trying to delete files on the drive, it
would error out with an Error Code 5 - Fixed.
04/30/94 ßETA 25 ■- When Nuking credit from users, PFED will now
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ also prompt for each file "Reason >". The
file description will be replaced by a more
verbose Nuke Message, such as:
Why Nuked ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
& New Nuke FILE NUKED!!! - CREDIT LOST x 10
Message INCOMPLETE UPLOAD
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
Uploaded by: Whatta Lamer
∙ When deleting files and keeping descs, such as
moving files offline, file now shows 'OFF-LINE'
■- Tagging files in the Archive & Raw DOS viewer
Tagging Files is now possible. The Spacebar tags a file,
in Viewer CTRL+U untags all tagged files. CTRL+T tags
all files.
Archive Viewer <D> = Deleted TAGGED files
tag keys: <X> = eXtract TAGGED files (Unzip)
New <R> DOS <D> = Delete TAGGED files
Viewer keys: <C> = Copy TAGGED files
<M> = Move TAGGED files
When copying or moving files, program will
automatically do a Fat Move if possible and
create the destination dir doesn't exist.
∙ Changed a couple of keys in the DOS Viewer, <P>
now plays MOD or VOC, <N> now is for New Path.
∙ When deleting files in the archive, PFED will
delete those damn 'undeletable' BBS ads...The
ones who use ASC character 255 as a space.
∙ Added <R>aw DOS Viewer/Shell to Main Conf Menu.
∙ If hitting escape on path input, it will return
to previous status instead of exiting viewer.
■- BUGS: When doing a CTRL+S, (Save while in dir)
sometimes the first file edited got screwed
(showed another filename etc..) - Fixed.
∙ When adopting files 0 bytes files or sometimes
sub-dirs were included - Fixed (Rifleman)
∙ Increased Desqview PIF to minimum 240k to run.
04/26/94 ßETA 24 ■- When Nuking credit from users, PFED will prompt
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ for each file "Nuke Credit X (Enter=1)", press
<Enter> to remove times(x) 1, or enter the # you
Nuke Factor wish the filesize to multiplied by and
subtracted from the user's credit as extra
punishment. You can also enter a 0 to not take any
credit away also. (Rifleman)
If the description isn't nuked also, PFED will add as
the 1st line "FILE WAS NUKED!!! - CREDIT LOST x ###",
Nuke Alert where ### is the nuke factor. This will be White
on Red (@X4F)...I know it's not verbose enough but
it's a start...eh.
∙ Any manually entered names were case sensitive - fixed.
∙ PFED will compare the actual filesize and the file
listing filesize and use the highest #. If
user's total bytes < 0 then bytes = 0.
■- When doing a <Z>ippy scan or New <U>ploads scan
from the dir menu (Not Conf menu) it'll prompt with
a PCB type prompts: "Area: (1-18), (A)ll, (U)ploads,
Quicker Scans (Enter)=none" this should speed up scans.
Scans from the conference menu will scan all
dirs in all conferences. (MikeySoft....I think)
■- Added a little to the file <I>nfo command.
■- Opening screen title now 'PFED'
■- BUGS: When doing a Ctrl + Z (Batch Zap file descs)
It cleared the lines but didn't remove them.
∙ After sorting a directory, and then doing a
Them bugs... <Z>ippy scan or new <U>ploads scan, proggy would
get REAL screwed up - fixed.
∙ Zip Comments with TABS in them were not correctly
displayed in the archive viewer. (Rifleman)
04/23/94 ßETA 23 ■- PFED now requires a key (for future PD release)...
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ This package contains a generic free key as it's
Requires Key not meant for PD release. I'll give Beta people
a personalized key too, ask me for it on BubbaLand II.
■- FINALLY - When deleting files, PFED now asks
Remove Uploader Credit". This will search for the
'Uploaded by:' or your personal 'uploaded by' string
Zap UL Credit! if different (in Setup). If uploader not found,
PFED will prompt for a user name to be entered
manually. It'll repeat this until a legitimate
name is entered or you press a <Enter> alone.
(Doc Skull & many others)
■- All conferences (Max 100) are now selectable from the
Can handle up Conf. selection screen, not just the 1st 10. Use
100 confs now up/down arrows, page up/down keys and Home/End to
scroll and find the desired conference.
■- Added Shade effects on the input boxes.
■- BUGS: Always asked if you wanna save if blank line.
∙ If DIZ was turned off OR if answering 'NO' to process
this file it wouldn't show 'Uploaded by:'
∙ After tagging files for deletion and deleting is
aborted, files would still show tagged but weren't.
Bugs.... ∙ If all the files in a dir were deleted, you
could adopt files but they would show up blank.
∙ If attempting to edit 1st entry in a blank dir,
PFED would error out, now doesn't do anything.
∙ Setup didn't load defaults if config not found.
Also, if BBS config not found user MUST now answer
where it can be found before proceding.
04/21/94 ßETA 22 ■- Added Sort destination dirs - When working from a
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ directory, say uploads, and moving files to other
dirs, when exiting that dir it will prompt to Sort
Auto-Sorts each dir # where files where moved to: <y/N,a,q>.
changed dirs 'A' sorts all destination dirs, 'Q' sorts none.
NOTE: PCBoard dirs will be sorted by whatever
the dir's Sort Order is set to <1-4>. Express will
always sorted by name <1>.
■- Also Added <S>ort all dirs from the dir menu. PFED
Sort All Dirs will prompt Sort Dir #1 <y/N/a/q>, you can do a
yes/no for each, 'A'= sort all dirs, 'Q'=Quit.
■- Added the following commands to dir edit screen:
CTRL + S = Save file dir NOW, resume editing. (Doc Skull)
CTRL + Q = Don't Save & Quit to Dir menu.
New commands CTRL + T = Tag ALL files
CTRL + G = Get .DIZ Descs for all tagged files (Rifleman)
CTRL + P = Test/Process all tagged files
CTRL + Z = Zap descs for all tagged files (Rifleman)
∙ Help Screen is now 2 pages to accomodate all
these damn commands.
■- Added setup option to use external programs for
copying files....MS-DOS's XCOPY <X> uses extended
External Copy memory for copies and MAY be faster for some of
Program you. I found it about the same, but I use a network.
Novell Netware's NCOPY <N> will copy files
faster on Novell Network. If you try copying
files and PFED says 'ERROR MOVING FILE...' you
will have to go back to the normal copy.
■- Added more error detection in the move routines,
previously if PFED tried to check the destination
file and it wasnt there it would error out - Now
reports 'ERROR MOVING FILE TO...'
■- Uploader (if found) is listed when <T>oggling screen
info in the edit dir file mode....it also shows full
path and if it is online/offline.
■- Defined .ALI (Alive) .NIT (Nitro) .SCA (Scar) as
ANSI Extensions in Archive viewer.
■- BUGS: If doing <K> lone a file desc, and the 1st
letter is a '/' it would error out - fixed.
04/18/94 ßETA 21 ■- Added some more normal file dir viewing capability,
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ <U>=New uploads, and <Z>=Zippy Scan are available
from then Conf menu & dir menus. The new <U>ploads
Scan for New list all files on after the date entered. If
Uploads and you do a Z or U from the main conf menu it will
do file searchs scan ALL confs, if you do it from the directory
menu it will scan ONLY that conference.
∙ Added <V>iew dir from the dir menu. You can now
View dirs in view a complete dir in normal ASC mode. Works like
normal mode a 'F' command if you were on the BBS...but you can
scroll back & forth.
∙ Added <Home> and <End> to the text viewer that views
all of the above. Worked on improving the viewer
somewhat...I use a 486-66 dunno how slow it is on
a jr. system, but the good part is it uses no memory.
■- Added Help Screen for the dir menu. (F1)
■- Worked on the setup program a bit.
■- BUGS: Desc Lines past line 15 would sometimes show
up on other files - Buffer was not totally cleared.
∙ If there was a PCB conference that had a upload or
Bugs... private dir or both and no other dirs, then you
couldn't access it - FIXED (Rifleman)
∙ Filenames should always be capped, yeah they were you
just couldn't see it before - Fixed. (Rifleman)
04/16/94 ßETA 20 ■- BUG: Wouldn't run Setup, error in line 2 of PSETUP
BOOMLAB.CFG needed to be replaced...erase it or use
the one in this version and redefine parameters.
Also fixed so it similar probs dont happen again.
■- Added <Z>ippy Scan. For now it scans ALL dirs,
and if matches are found displays them in a text
viewer you can scroll back & forth in. (Same
one the logs use) (MikeySoft)
04/15/94 ßETA 19 ■- IMPORTANT! - You can now define how many lines you
want for file file descriptions (1-40). High
#'s cause the program to slow down when indexing,
low #'s may cause you to lose a lot of the DIZ
info (you may want this as their getting outta
hand). Note: any file desc with more lines that
you have set are gonna be chopped off. I've set
mine to 18. The editor will scroll the desc text
up & down in the window. Page Up & Page Down keys
are usefull for big descs.
■- BOOMLAB v0.02 - Setting up for dual use (BBS &
PFED), not quite there yet. Added age checker,
ZAP BBS files, Add files list, and what to do
with bad files. Setup all under BOOMLAB SETUP in
the setup program. In local mode it will ask to
confirm before deleting or moving any files.
■- If a filename is renamed in full editing, program
will prompt 'Rename actual filename (Y/N)' and
if 'Y' will rename the file in DOS (Rifleman)
■- Increased # of possible file dirs from 150 to 300 (Ken)
■- Express v1.00ß - Added <X> file transfer (TRANS.LOG)
log viewing (The Drunkard)
■- Misc: If Page up on 1st page, now moves cursor
to line 1. Press <Enter> on caller's log = Node 1.
■- BUG: Reconfiguring a PCB Dir, screwed it up! - Fixed
04/07/94 ßETA 18 ■- EXPRESS BUG: All old dirs had dates formated with
slashes Ex: 04/03/94 PFED only accepted 04-03-94
format - Fixed. (Caused some dirs not to load)
∙ Can now view the Express Syslog log (C), it is not
as color coded as the PCB version as I dont have a
log to test <Hint>
■- The 'Uploaded by' text color has been changed to
include the whole 'Uploaded By:' text line.
Make sure to include all color codes and a
trailing space, one is not added. (MikeySoft)
■- Check free HD Space is now <H>, it now works on
also works on all screens. It gets and displays
info much faster than before on some systems.
■- Caller & Transfer logs for PCB now are scrollable
in either direction. Since they're ASC files i
didn't load em into memory as they're HUGE. I
use SEEK which may cause it to be a little slow.
04/05/94 ßETA 17 ■- NEW: Added a Setting 'Add Blank Line to File Desc
(Y/N)". If 'Y' then PFED will insert a blank
line between all file desc's in the directory.
However, 1 line desc's are skipped. Makes the
dir more aesthetically pleasing. This is done
during the 'writing' process. (for MickeySoft)
■- MAJOR BUG!: 1st line was sometimes one space over,
when local uploaded and no DIZ. Fixed and will
also correct a dir when used once. (Doc Skull)
■- OTHER BUGS: If moving 1 file and there was a FAT
move error then screen got screwed - Fixed.
∙ If processing a file online, and no DIZ was found
it wouldnt run the rest of BOOMLAB - Fixed.
∙ If 2 uploaders listed, now gets the last one.
04/04/94 ßETA 16 ■- Added Express v1.00ß by Ken Sallot, previously known
as LSD, now has PCB style file dirs. (Thats
about the only file structure thats similar)
■- The setup now reads the BBS selected's config
and writes needed variables to PFED.CFG. Needed
to do this to accomodate many different types of
file structures between PCB & Express.
∙ Redid Setup program, new section for BOOMLAB
settings. Added a line to input 'Uploaded by:'
color code (PCB @X## codes).
■- When editing a desc, Ctrl-I (Insert) inserted a line
AFTER the cursor, not before like its supposed too.
- Fixed. Added Ctrl-A (Add a line) It adds a line
to the desc and moves the cursor to it.
■- Redid free space screen (C). Has meters showing
available free space. Can now also be used from
area selection screen.
■- LOCAL UPLOAD BUGS: When asked "Process All Files" if
<Esc> is pressed the graphics will screw up - fixed.
∙ If ALL the files in a dir are deleted it'll still show
one file left - fixed.
∙ If processing a file already online, and no DIZ is
found; uploader and dates wont be displayed again.
∙ BOOMLAB would pop-up even after answering 'N' to
process all files - fixed.
04/03/94 ßETA 15 ■- Added View caller logs & Transfer log from the
main screen. Can do search for string (S) or
starting date (D). Added lotsa color to these
ASC files.
■- Completely redoing local uploads:
∙ Added PFEDTEST.BAT which works like the PCBTEST.BAT
COMMENT.BAT and COMMENT.CMT are no longer used.
If using a zip comment then define full path and
name in PSETUP.
∙ Working on BOOMLAB which will be a zip processor.
For now v.01 will be used for local uploads to
extract oldest/newest file dates.
∙ Using BOOMLAB, you can add a line for newest
oldest files, or DIZ & NFO dates. (Changeable
in the BOOMLAB.CFG file) To use this line set
"Show Oldest/Newest Files" to Y in PSETUP.
∙ Won't ask Use DIZ anymore, if it's set to Y in
PSETUP then it'll use it. If later it's
extracted using a Ctrl-G in editor or Z from dir
list then it'll prompt the old way. And when
doing so it will keep the uploader, not
overwrite. This will make local mass uploads a
hell of a lot faster.
∙ If DIZ was greater then # of lines, it would not
show uploaded by. PPE's like WIPE would then
not work. Uploaded by will now always be shown
on the last line if DIZ's longer then 15 lines.
Oldest/Newest file dates if on, will always proceed
it. Eventually PFED will be fixed to accept the
# of description lines set by the user.
03/30/94 ßETA 14 ■- MAJOR BUG: If there wasn't either a blank line or
header info at the beginning of a dir file it
would bomb out on sorts & moves & such. - FIXED
Had to to with properly recognize which is an
actual filename. Increased the maximum lines in
header desc to 100. (Mr. Bill)
■- BUG: Didn't write the DV PIF Path correctly -
Fixed (Mr. Bill)
■- BUG: Couldn't delete last desc. line FROM last line.
■- Conference Cursor now starts at 1st conf with files.
03/29/94 ßETA 13 ■- Increased # of Description Lines to 15 from 13.
■- Pressing 'N' anywhere displays the PCB Node
Monitor utility. Helps with testing and a nice
PCB util to take advantage of.
■- Added PIF install for DV in the setup. The PIF
is copied to the \DV directory and the user then
installs. Since I dont use DV much settings are
subject to change.
■- Improved some more file sharing routines, Mr.Bill
still had probs in DesqView - Fixed?
■- Added some RIP support to archive viewer. An
external RIP viewer must be defined in PSETUP.
03/23/94 ßETA 12 ■- [MAJOR BUG] all have been complaining about, when
trying to read or write a file already opened or
opened by PCBoard while working in PFED it would
crap out - Fixed!
■- Can run PFED setup program from main screen 'S'.
■- When adopting files it asked for name of uploader
even if 'Show Uploaded By' was turned off - fixed.
■- Minor screen updates: Changed Conf # to Area # on dir
listing. Updated start and end .com screens.
02/26/94 ßETA 11 ■- ADDED 2 new keys when using Full File Editor "E":
Ctrl+G = Gets FILE_ID.DIZ or DESC.SDI from Archive
for description.
Ctrl+P = Puts Description into a FILE_ID.DIZ and
adds it to the archive. In effect, a DIZ
editor! (Mr. Bill)
■- BUG - Won't SORT large dir files. Now will
handle much bigger files 3400+. (Mr. Bill)
■- If a dir is not found it will now not error out, but
will create a new dir with header(blank) and no entries.
* NOTE: Any have trouble with errors, try running
SHARE.EXE and let me know if it helps.
02/22/94 ßETA 10 ■- MAJOR BUG - When files exceeded about 2325 or
so, they could not be edited and the program
would error out. Fixed - Was not using Dbl Prec
Variable (DES#) to calculate location. Now able
to handle up to 9,999 files in a dir. (Mr. Bill)
■- BUG - Fixed HD Free Space display - Key 'C'. (Mr. Bill)
■- BUG - Files that started with # % & ( ) were not
included as possible filenames. (Doc Skull)
11/09/93 ßETA 9 ■- MAJOR BUG - Oh Joy! Finally found and fixed a
bug that deletes files when moving more than one
set of files. (Big thanks to Doc Skull)
■- When moving files the cursor doesn't stay put. It
moves as it should with the file it was
highlighting. (Lotsa people)
11/07/93 ßETA 8 ■- BUG - When using 'K'lone to copy it won't save
new description. (Doc Skull)
If you went directly in to edit, it wouldn't
show the new line either.
■- When trying to insert a text line before the 1st
line, move cursor up to 'Date Sent' and do a
Ctrl-I from there. Otherwise would of had to had
a key to add lines and a key to insert lines.
■- Added 'PCBCONV.EXE' - It converts any Forum hack's
file dirs to PC Board format. BUT requires
BOOMER's Utilities for FORUM Hacks to run.
