Now for some down and dirty directions. They will get better as time goes by,
and I find more time to write them. It's simple.... Here's the config file:
c:\tag <---- Path To Status.Dat
50 <---- Max DSL To Be Included In List
@ <---- Area Flags To Include
n <---- Include Passworded File Areas [Y/N]
n <---- Include NonValidated Files [Y/N]
n <---- Include Offline Files [Y/N]
n <---- Confirm File Sizes [Y/N]
n <---- Update Corrected File Sizes To .Dir [Y/N]
s <---- Include [D]ate-File[S]ize-[B]oth-[N]either
n <---- OKFILE.LST [F]rontDoor [B]inkley [C]omplete [N]one
y <---- Create 'New Files' Listing [Y/N]
30 <---- Max Days To Be In 'New Files' List And Have '*'
Bear_Den <---- Name To Assign For Files List .LST Is Auto Added
Newfiles <---- Name To Assign to 'New Files' .LST Is Auto Added
zip <---- Compression Method For Output Files (ZIP/ARJ)
-m -ex <---- Switches to pass to Archiver (default switches - for Zip)
y <---- Automatic Updating Of .DIR File With New Lists [Y/N]
@sysop <---- Dir You Wish To Update (include @ or `, .DIR auto added)
y <---- Add Compression Comments [Y/N]
header.txt <---- Comment File To Add
-=ß=-* <---- Pattern To Seperate File Areas (0-79 in length)
n <---- Use Files.bbs to update .DIR if new files found.
What's it all mean?
Line 1: The path to where your TAG Status.Dat file can be found. You can
include or omit the trailing '\' as you wish.
Line 2: The maximum DSL to be included in the file lists. TAGFLIST will
include all file areas configured up to and including this DSL
providing of course they meet the other requirements such as AR
Flags, etc.
Line 3: AR Flagged areas to include in the file lists. If you want the AR
"@" included you will have to specify it here. I found it more
configurable not to assume it as I can then generate different
file lists just by specifying different AR Flags. e.g.: My
general list includes "@" but my Adult list contains *only* "A".
Line 4: Do you wish Passworded areas included in your list [Y/N].
Pretty straight-forward I think.
Line 5: Do you wish NonValidated files included in the list [Y/N].
Line 6: Do you wish files marked as OFFLINE included in your file lists [Y/N]
Line 7: Do you wish TAGFLIST to confirm the size of a file before it writes
to the list [Y/N]. If you select 'Y' the the true file size will be
written to the list and not the X-Modem-blocks-times-128 TAG uses.
Line 8: Update DIR files [Y/N]. This will check the size of the file on
the disk against what TAG has stored in the DIR file. If the file
does not exist it will be marked as OFFLINE. The .DIR will be
updated with the correct file size if the file does exist.
(Page #2)
Line 9: In your files list you may include the [D]ate the file was uploaded,
the file [S]ize, [B]oth the date and file size or [N]either of them.
Line 10: Do you wish to generate an OKFILE.LST used by most Fido mailers for
allowing or disallowing File REQuests [F/B/C/N]. The OKFILE.LST can be
in [F]rontDoor format (F:\FILE\BBS), [B]inkleyTerm (F:\FILE\BBS\*.*)
or [C]omplete file list which lists *every* file complete with its
entire DOS path (F:\FILE\BBS\TAGR26B.ZIP) or [N]o OKFILE.LST at all.
Line 11: Do you wish TAGFLIST to create a 'Newfiles' list [Y/N] This list if
created will include only files uploaded within the number of days
defined by you in line 12, instead of all files.
Line 12: Files newer than this number of days will be marked in the main files
list with an '*' to show them as new files and those same files
will be included in the 'Newfiles' list if you have chosen to
create one.
Line 13: The name you would like your complete files listing to have.
DO NOT include a file extension, as .LST is added automatically.
Line 14: The name you would like your 'New Files' listing to have. Again
DO NOT put a file extension as .LST is automatically appended.
Line 15: How you would like your file lists compressed. TAGFLIST supports
only ARJ and ZIP at this time, but if someone wanted me to add
support for another compression method I gladly would.
Line 16: Commands and or Switches to pass to the compression program.
e.g.: -m makes ZIP move the files.lst to the compressed file,
removing it from your HD, m does the same thing with ARJ. If
no comment is found ARJ will assume 'a'. -ex is supposed to
ensure compatibility with the new PKUNZIP, when released.
Line 17: Would you like TAGFLIST to update the new date and filesize of
the new list you have just generated [Y/N] If you chose this option
- and I can't see why you wouldn't - your file lists will always
show up in a (N)ew Files Scan.
Line 18: The name of the .DIR file you would like updated. Even if you chose
not to auto-update the .DIR, include the name of the .DIR that for
the file area that you would like the new lists sent to. TAGFLIST
gets the D/L path to send the file to from the .DIR. REMEMBER to
include either the "`" or "@" if they're in your TAG setup that way.
Line 19: Would you like compression comments added to your compressed file
lists [Y/N] (Done by TAGFLIST; extra comment-program NOT needed.)
Line 20: The name and path of the text file to add as a compression comment.
I suggest putting this file in the same directory as TAGFLIST and
omitting a path, though it will work either way.
Line 21: The Character *OR* Pattern you would like TAGFLIST to use to seperate
the files areas in your lists. The pattern can be a single character
or up to 79 characters in length. Left blank, it defaults to '-'.
(Page #3)
Line 22: If set to Y TAGFLIST will look to see if ANY changes to files.bbs
have occurred. If they have, it will add all new files in the
files.bbs to your .DIR in that area. Perfect for DDS, SDN filebone
sysops. Files.bbs MUST be in the D/L path listed for the .DIR
NEW FEATURE: If you are creating an OKFILE.LST in the Binkley format, create
a plain ASCII text file called 'alias.txt' with all your magic d/l names.
TAGFLIST will automaticly include this file at the begining of a Binkley
format OKFILE.LST if found.
Take Note! .DIR file is also used to get the download path to copy file(s)
to, so can NOT be left blank! even if auto updating turned off! None of the
lines should be left blank in the CFG file with the exception of the
switches/commands to pass to the compression. If using ARJ and this line is
blank it will default to 'a' and ZIP does not 'NEED' switches, -m -ex are
optional.
When Updating File Sizes to .DIR you should enable the Offline and
Non-Validated Files to confirm all file sizes, however I have left
this, too, sysop definable.
Header.Txt will automatically be added to Start of Files List if found.
Footer.Txt " " " " " End " " " " " .
Also Note! The first time TAGFLIST is run you will need to u/l the files lists
to your bbs manually. Once they are in the .DIR, they will be maintained from
then-on, if you select auto-updating.
TAGFLIST now compresses the output files, copies them to the D/L directory
listed in the .DIR file you have chosen, updates both the file date and file
size to current and correct settings, and then cleans up after itself
(cleans-up if the -m switch/option is used with the Archiver).
* TAGFLIST will now accept four runtime parameters or switches if
you like. /r OR -r To Register Your Copy Of TAGFLIST
/c OR -c for an other than default config file,
/h OR -h for an other than default header file,
/f OR -f for an other than default footer file.
e.g.: TAGFLIST /Clist01.cfg /Hwelcome.msg /Fc:\somedir\sometxt.txt.
TAGFLIST can be run with either the default config filename, 'TAGFLIST.CFG',
or you can give it a config file at run-time, as you would do to create many
different lists with different DSL Levels and AR Flags.
My mailer.bat looks like this:
:lister
tagflist /clist01.cfg
tagflist /clist02.cfg /Hc:\adult\adult.txt /Fc:\adult\foot.txt
tagflist /clist03.cfg /Fsdn.txt
goto restart
Just be sure to define different output file names in each config
file or one will overwrite the other, if archived to the same dir.
*******************************************************************************
TAGFLIST no longer has 'Registered Only' features. However, it now has
a run counter and will work for only 31 times. This is done to allow
you a month to fully evaluate TAGFLIST to see if it is of value to you.
After a month, in keeping with the SHAREWARE concept, you are asked to
either register or stop using the software.
