% ADOPT
;
; To enable file adoption, you must first include ADOPT on its own line.
; Then and only then can you enable the extra features. Specifying this
; verbs makes FSUMM look for files that exist in the directory but not
; in FILES.BBS; they are then added to your lists.
;
ADOPT
;
; There is an extended form of the ADOPT command. You must also specify the
; verb on its own first to turn on adoption - then you may use this form.
;
; ADOPT filespec posn description
; | | |
; wildcard --+ | |
; filename | +-- description to use. macros available -
; | %DATE %TIME %DAY as described by Descadopt
; where in your --+ %VER pic-files version number 87a or 89a
; filelist to add %X %Y pic-files horizontal/vertical size
; this file. %COL pic-files number of colours used
; |
; +--- first character < or >. If its a < then the description is
; added before the rest of the files. If its a > then the
; description is added after the rest. If you specify a string
; to search for after the character, then this will be adopted
; before or after that. See the examples! NB Case Sensitive and
; no spaces are allowed in this string.
;
; Picture files can use the %X,%Y,%VER,%COL macros listed above. Note,
; however, that currently only GIF and PCX files are supported with
; this command. For PCX files, version numbers may currently be 2.5,
; 2.8, or 3.0. (pcPaintbrush IV generates version 3 PCX-files). For
; GIF-files, 87a and 89a are used.

% DESCADOPT
;
; You use this verb to specify the default description for files that get
; adopted. You can change this for certain files with the extended form of
; the ADOPT verb. The maximum length for this (and descriptions on all the
; other verbs) is 128 characters.
;
; You may use %DATE to add the current date, and %TIME to add the current
; time, to your listing. Another option is %DAY which adds the Julian day
; number.
;
DESCADOPT [00] File adopted on %DATE at %TIME (j.%DAY)
% NOADOPT
;
; This is to list up to fifteen files that you don't want adopted on your
; system. Specify one file per line.
