% 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.
;

;        |
;        +--- 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.
