FileReq - by taine gilliam copyright 1990
FileReq allows other sysops to search your file list and directories
using File Request.
The caller creates a File REQuest in the format:
FILEREQ text_pattern [text_pattern...] -T
FILEREQ file_pattern [file_pattern] [-Dmmddyyyy]
The optional switches are:
-T - use text mode. The default is file mode.
-D - set date for filemode.
The default mode for FileReq is File mode. In file mode the patterns
are considered to be file specifications to search for.
Text mode searches the Files.BBS of each directory for the pattern
string and returns any lines that match. The search is NOT case
sensitive.
The Date function is only valid in file mode. It causes only files newer
than the date to be listed. The date is of the format MMDDYYYY.
QM, Please and Bonk are unable to directly build the required *.REQ file.
One can use Amax or manually edit the *.REQ file.
When the Host Binkley recieves the FREQ, FILEREQ is run, a result list
is compiled and sent on the the caller. The file is sent as an attach
using a *.QLO file.
FileReq requires a config file named FILEREQ.CFG. This file contains the
following information:
outdir - Base outbound directory. Zones are supported. Must be Present.
level - Security level for the search. Defaults to 20.
filelist - The name of the file containing the list of directories.
Defaults to flsearch.ctl. The format of this file is:
path security_level area_description.
zone - your primary zone. Defaults to 1
system - The name of your system.
report - The name of the report file. Defaults to FileReq.lst.
filebbs - the name for your "files.bbs" file. Defaults to FILES.BBS
FileReq is designed to work at a Magic Function for BinkleyTerm. The Sysop
must add a line of the form:
+D:\PATH\FILEREQ
to Binkley's OKFILE.
