been shortend.Do you want AllFiles / NewFiles-Lists as dBase-Files also ?Alternate BBS Name. You may only fill this in if you have
changed the name of your BBS but still have the old name in
your BBS config.

You also need a special key for this.Path where you have different GOODBYE.ANS. So that you can
change then periodically using the parameter CA.Path where you have different WELCOME.ANS. So that you can
change then periodically using the parameter CA.To wich Arc format do you want to convert your files ?This is the ascii file that when using ArcScan is put as
header into archived files.SYSOP checks this drives for free diskspace, e.g. 'CDE'Only files with less downloads  are archieved. Specify 0 to
disable this function.Only files older then this days are archieved.SYSOP  moves files  into the  archive directory  until this
amount  of free  space is  reached. This  even works  if no
space  is  really   freed  up.  E.g.  because  the  archive
directory is included in the 'Incl. Drives'.Directory that old files are moved intoDo you want to convert files with an AV  envelope. If yes
then switch to 'Y', remember that the AV envelope is then
killed and the file will be rearchived even if a conversion
is not necessary.This is where you take care of your file areas, and define
the files that are to be deleted out of the different
ARC-Files. Also logfiles etc. are defined here.Just like SYSOP lets you put advertising for your system into
archived files. It  also helps you to delete other systems
messages. you only have to know the name of the file and put
its name in here.

Using ArcScan, brings this into use when you change arcformat
the old adverts are killed and yours will be put in ;-)

Filename
- Name of the file to kill

Description
- Name of BBS or similar
This is needed for your BBS statistics.SYSOP allows you to make FILES.BBS, AllFiles, NewFiles and
Areagroup listings and their NewFiles. You can also create
.DBF All/NewFiles for those of you who wish to offer dBase
compatible Databases.

Also you can let SYSOP print all files that have no
description.

If you set SETUP->SWITCHES  'Create FILES.BBS in empty areas'
to YES a  FILES.BBS will  becreated even  in file  areas that
contain no files. This  area  will also be  shown in the file
area statistic.

If you set SETUP->SWITCHES 'Delete ASCII file listing' to YES
the ascii file listing will remain in your allfiles directory
after archieving it.


                     (FILES.BBS
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

This a for each directory alphabetically sorted FILES.BBS
either to be found in the download directory or in the path
enter in file area managment.

The filelists contain a header stating areaname, number of
files and the total size of files in that area or if definded
a header from your template.

IF you set 'Extended FILES.BBS' to YES for a file area the
FILES.BBS won't be in the normal <filename> <description>
format but in the extended CD-ROM format:
<path><filename> <size> <date> <description>


                   AllFiles listing
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

This funktion makes a list of all files in your BBS showing
filename, size, Date, downloadcounter and description.

The files in the AllFiles listing are sorted alphabetically
for each directory. The followup of file areas is made
through your entry in the file area managment. Areas that
have no place in a list e.g. GroupWare must be marked with a
flag ;-)

Each area has a header showing areaname, number of files,
total size of allfiles or from your defined template.

The list starts optionally with a header, that can be defined
in system parameters. At the end of the list you can also
define a footer. Additionally is a total statistic of all
file areas by file extension and a statistic by filsize.

After the list is generated as ascii file it will be arced
with your favourit Arcer.

Optionally you can also make a dBase file.


                        NewFiles listing
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

The NewFiles listing is nearly identical to the Allfiles
listing. The difference is that only files that came after
'Days for newfiles' will be put into this file. And that no
infos on number of files or total filesize are in the header.
A NewFiles header template can also be defined.


                       Areagroup listing
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

See AllFiles listing. If for an Areagroup listing a template
was defined this will be used if not then the AllFiles
template wWill be taken.


                NewFiles of Areagroup listing
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

See NewFiles listing if a template was defined it will be
used otherwise the NewFiles template will be taken.


               Printing files without a description
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

All files that have no description will be printed including
name & full path. Also a list of all file that are still in
file database but no longer on your disk will be printed.In line you see the actual active seekword, sortingtype &
recordnumber.

With F3 you can switch the sorting between the various
sorting criteria.

To find an record faster all you need to do is type in the
first letters of the seekword depending upon the active sort
criteria, and the cursor jumps to the appropriate position.
With BACKSPACE you can shorten a seekword, or with F3 or
after choosing an file delete the seekword.

With SPACE you can mark files in the file-browser so that
for example you can move them collectively to a new area.Default program for DOS->PROGRAMDo you want the ascii  file listing  remain in the allfiles
directory after it was packed ?SYSOP puts all files with CRC errors & virii into this pathThe functions DOS Shell & external programs are available.
These should only be used if you have a pretty good knowledge
of DOS so that it can be used effectivly.

SYSOP jumps into a temporary DOS Shell using ALT-J, it then
leaves only 10 kBb in memory.


                        DOS-Shell
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Temporary leaving SYSOP into DOS. You go into a DOS Shell and
do a few things like formatting your boot harddisk ;-) or
start another programm or look at a directory etc.

SYSOP puts its information into a temporary file. After
exiting the shell SYSOP reads this information back in and
you can go on working where you stopped.

It is NOT ALLOWED in a shell to start any TSR programs e.g.
Print, SideKick or the like. If you do SYSOP will not be able
to restart.


                     External programs
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Starting external programs without leaving SYSOP. To start
another program like Scan you do not need to start a DOS
Shell but you can start it directly. All you need to do is to
enter the complete name and path of the file, SYSOP then
changes to the directory and starts the program, if no path
is defined then the file must be available in your path.

After terminating the program you automatically return to
SYSOP.

To make it possible to start a program of any size SYSOP puts
itself into a temporary file. This file MUST NOT be deleted
during a shell otherwise you may loose some of your data and
won't get back in to SYSOP :-(

Apart from this DO NOT start any TSR programs.Here you need the format of the EFT DownloadLog in EFT
format. That means the exact definition of DownLogFormat.This is the Downloader-Logfile from EFT (Enhanced  File
Transfer). If this is used your userfile will be updated
out of this log file.Here you need the format of the EFT UploadLog in EFT
format. That means the exact definition of UpLogFormat.This is the Uploader-Logfile from EFT (Enhanced File
Transfer). If this is used your userfile will be updated
out of this log file.Should SYSOP use 25 lines or EGA 43 lines
If you want SYSOP to create a FILES.BBS even if there are
no files in it  you have to set  this to YES. In  this case
this area will also be shown in filearea statistics.Should SYSOP  create an report  even if no  activities were
found ?Should SYSOP  create an report  even if no  activities were
found ?You may specify several records that sould not be shown up in
the statistics.

Exclude
- One entry that shoudln't be shown in the stats. This may be
  a username, a filename (no ?* allowed) or a mail area.

Statistic
- Type of statistic: U = User statistcs, F = Top downloaded
  files, M = Mail area statistic

Example:
Mike Paschen, CoSysop, 240-100.ARJ, Private_Mail, SEX.GERStarting external programs without leaving SYSOP. To start
another program like Scan you do not need to start a DOS
Shell but you can start it directly. All you need to do is to
enter the complete name and path of the file, SYSOP then
changes to the directory and starts the program, if no path
is defined then the file must be available in your path.

After terminating the program you automatically return to
SYSOP.

To make it possible to start a program of any size SYSOP puts
itself into a temporary file. This file MUST NOT be deleted
during a shell otherwise you may loose some of your data and
won't get back in to SYSOP :-(

Apart from this DO NOT start any TSR programs.Directory
- Path of file area

Description
- Description of file area

Infotext
- Additional text for filelists e.g.
  'Matrix Filerequest possible'

File-Area Nr.
- Number of file area. This is the same as in FILES.RA but
  can be changed so that filelists can be sorted as wanted.

Area-Header
- Filename with wich a header over this filearea in the
  filelist is decorated.

ARC-Header
- Do you want a header in ZIP, PAK, ARJ-Files ?

BBS Infofile
- Do you want an advertisement from your system put in ?

FileScan
- Check filebase with harddisk ? Not needed by CD-ROM

ArcScan
- Change files to a different format ? Impossible on CD-ROM

VirusScan
- Scan new files for virii ?

AllFiles
- Is this area to be taken into the All-/NewFiles list ?

Upload-Check
- Should this area be checked for new uploads ?
  (I for example have only one upload area and sort them into
  the right place myself. Makes life easier and i only have
  to check my upload area and my Software Network areas.)

Freq-OK-List
- Do you want to include this area in the list of file-
  requestable directories created for your mailer with
  EXPORT ?

Secure Frequest
- Do you want to include this area in the list of file-
  requestable directories with session password (supported by
  FrontDoor) created for your mailer with EXPORT ?

FILES.BBS
- Alternative directory for FILES.BBS. Needed for CD-ROM.

Areagroups 1-3
- Each file area can be in upto 3 alternative arealists. I
  have for example an extra list for programmingtools so that
  it ist not not always so hard to find things. If you use
  this the AllFiles flag will be overridden so that you can
  also make a CUG-Filelist ;-)

Number of files
- Statistic Information on the amount of Files

Total size
- Statistic Information on the total size of all FilesTo be able to use this you must first of all enter your file-
areas. This can be done manually or by reading the apropriate
file FILES.RA / FLSEARCH.BBS. If this is done paths and
filenames are taken from FILES.RA / FLSEARCH.BBS.

If the path is already in the pathlist it will be marked with
a '*' in front of the path description.

With change/delete/browse you must choose the area out of
your list of areas. Then you will be shown the actual sorting
position, seekword, and record number.

With F3 you can change the sorting criteria between path,
description and areanumber.

To find an area faster all you need to do is type in the
first letters of the path or description depending upon the
active sort criteria, and the cursor jumps to the appropriate
position. With BACKSPACE you can shorten a seekword, or with
F3 or after choosing an area delete the seekword.
 
To keep the filerequest-list of your Mailer uptodate it is
possible to have a list of all filerequestable areas. This
can be made in either FrontDoor-Format or in BinkleyTerm-
Format with a closing "*.*".

If you don't want to set the flags for each area on its own,
you can use the the GLOBAL menu to set & change the flags for
all areas. All flags will be given for change if one is not
to be changed then it must be left blank that means NO Y/N
answer.This is the menu for taking care of your file areas. You can
enter new files , change entrys and delete files or look at
the contents of an archive.

Directory
- This is the directory, in wich the file is to be found.
  With F4 you can put the into the file-arealist. If the path
  cannot be found or is not there, this can happen in a
  Network system if a MAP is missing an error message will be
  given. But the 'FILE OK' flag will not be changed.

Filename
- Just the Filename ;-)

Description
- File description, 4 Lines

Size
- Filesize, wil be read in.

Date
- Date of file, will be read in.

Time
- Time of file, will be read in.

Downloads
- How many times has this file been downloaded ?.

Top 100
- Rank in the Top downloaded files statistic.With Change/Delete/Browse/Move/View of files choose the file
you wish to work on out of the list. Above the list you will
see the actual active seekword, sortingtype & recordnumber.

With F3 you can switch the sorting between path, filename,
description, sizem date & downloads.

To find an file faster all you need to do is type in the
first letters of the path or description depending upon the
active sort criteria, and the cursor jumps to the appropriate
position. With BACKSPACE you can shorten a seekword, or with
F3 or after choosing an file delete the seekword.

With SPACE you can mark files so that for example you can
move them collectively to a new area.

If you just doing a bit of changing and see a file you want
to delete, there is no need to go back to the menu and choose
delete. Instead use ALT-D and you jump straight into delete.

Following HotKeys are in use:

 - ALT-C : Jump to menu 'Change'
 - ALT-D : Jump to menu 'Delete'
 - ALT-M : Jump to menu 'Move'
 - ALT-V : Jump to menu 'View'

On deleteing a file you will first be asked if the file shall
also be deleted from the database, and then if it should also
be deleted from the Harddisk.

To look at the contents of an archived file choose the file
out of your list. Then your Arc-viewer or GIF-Viewer will be
be activated and you can look at or work on the file.The file maintanance menu has everything to take care of your
Fileareas, checking and overworking and the parts for working
on your logfile.


                        Reading logfiles
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

The various logfiles will be read and searched for calls,
downloades and baudrates. With this information the download-
counter for files in database (not in FILES.BBS) will be
updated.

If  you  set  'Read D/L counter  from  FILES.BBS' in  SETUP->
SWITCHES to  yes SYSOP  only read the  connects to update the
baudrate statistic but doesn't update downloadcounter.


                Logfile shortening and archiving
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

This is where all log entrys are put that are older than the
age defined. The filename is made up up of the first two
letters of the logfile name & the date (e.g. 'RA200391') for
20.03.91). Using this name the logfiles will also be archived.


                        UploadCheck
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

In all directorys that are searched for new uploads SYSOP
looks at FILES.BBS and compares it whith the database, and
updates it with all new files & their description.

If you set 'Full UploadCheck' in SETUP->SWITCHES to NO, SYSOP
only imports new  files into the database  but doesn't update
the description of already know files.


                         Arc-Scan
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

ArcScan searches all directorys and looks for files that are
archived in a different way as defined i n your setup. If
files are found they will be temporary unpacked and then
converted to the type you defined.

Additionally all the information files & adverts defined in
your setup will be removed and if defined your own file
and/or header will be added.

If a CRC errors occurs the files will be put into your virus-
directory.

Optional ArcScan searches for FILE_ID.DIZ and DESC.SDI in all
files and uses it's contents as file description.


                        Virus-Scan
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Virus-Scan temporary unpacks each file and scans it for
virii. If it finds one or a CRC error occurs the file will be
moved into your virus directory.


                         FileScan
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

FileScan compares all entrys in the database with all files
on harddisk. First it looks at all directorys to see if it
can find any files that are not included in the datatbase, if
it finds any these are automatically included into the data-
base. The description has then to be enterd manually. This is
NOT taken from FILES.BBS. This function was not made for
updating file areas!

FileScan then checks the other way round, it compares both
for files that are still in the database but no l onger on
your disk. If any are found these entrys are then marked as
missing and will be deleted next time you purge the database.

Additionaly the date & time of each file is recorded and the
total amount of files & total filesize is recorded.

If you set  'Full FileScan' in  SETUP->SWITCHES to NO,  SYSOP
doesn't update  the size / date / time of already known files
in the database. Therefore SYSOP won't recognize if filesizes
changed. But it's 70% faster.

If you set  'Complete FileScan' for  an area to YES  FileScan
will adopt new files.

Optionally  FileScan  will use  the GIF  resolution  as  file
description  of   adopted  GIF's  and  optionally  uses   the
resoultion for the file description for all GIF's without any
description.


                       Creating indices
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

This option creates indices for all databases. This is also
done automatically every time you purge.


                          Purge
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Physically removing all deleted entrys. Additionally all
entrys that are marked MISSING will be deleted. After this
the indices will be rebuilt.

                         Archive
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

The archive function checks all drives for the amount of free
disk space. If this  value is less then the  predefined value
SYSOP moves old  files into  the archive  directory until the
min. free space is reached.

This even works if no space is really freed up.  E.g. because
the archive directory is included in the 'Incl. Drives'.

Only files older then 'min. age of files' and with less d/l's
then 'max. downloads' will be archived.

Additionally SYSOP creates an infofile that contains the file
descriptions of all archived files. It's name is 'YYMMDD.INF'Name of filerequest listing for your MailerName of filerequest listing for sessions with session-
password.Do you want to create a FrontDoor compatible ("C:\FD\")
list or a BinkleyTerm compatible list with "*.*".Left & right delimiters for the download counter.Do you want a downloadcounter to be included in FILES.BBS ?Apart from doing things to files in the Database, SYSOP also
lets you edit the FILES.BBS directly. The only problem ist
that the database will not be affected by this.

Just choose the area you want and you can edit your FILES.BBS

ESC
- Quit FILES.BBS editor. You will be asked to save if you did
  changes and didn't yet save them.

F2
- Save FILES.BBS. Stay in the Editor.

F6
- Rename a file. (Simply editing the name in FILES.BBS does
  not rename the file on disk).

F8
- Deletes a file after asking from the harddidsk. The entry
  in FILES.BBS wil not be deleted, usefull when a new version
  has the same name as the old one.

F10
- Search for textstring  and optional  tag them. In the setup
  switches menu you may setup the following:
  - Should found files always be tagged automatically
  - Do you want to search  until end of FILES.BBS and tag all
    found files
  - Do you  want to  continue  search or always  start at the
    beginning of FILES.BBS

SHIFT-F1: Info about text macro definition
SHIFT-F2: Info about program macro definition
SHIFT-F3: Info about number of tagged files, tagged kB

ALT-A
- Scans the active directory for files that are not in your
  FILES.BBS and adds them, then all you need to do is write
  in a description.

ALT-C
- Convert actual hilited  file to global ArcFormat or to Arc-
  Format of the actual file area.

ALT-G
- Add  Gif  Resolution to  file  description  of  the  actual
  hilited file.

ALT-H
- Move all tagged files into  another file areas. You have to
  place them into the FILES.BBS of  the other file areas with
  ALT-H again.

ALT-I
- Searches for FILE_ID.DIZ and DESC.SDI in  all tagged  files
  and removes the  file description  with those  found in the
  FILE_ID.DIZ or DESC.SDI file.

ALT-J
- Temporary DOS Shell

ALT-K
- Deletes all tagged files from disk & FILES.BBS after
  asking.

ALT-L
- Add zero downloadcounter ([00]) to file description of the
  actual hilited file

ALT-M
- Enhanced hurl  technique. Now  it's possible  to do a  fast
  hurl in the following way:

  Tag files  with  ALT-T, mark them  for moving  into another
  file area with ALT-M. The  tagged files  will be moved into
  this directory  later. Now tag  some other  files and  move
  with ALT-M.

  This does not really move files but mark them for movement!
  At the  end you  press CTRL-M  and all files  you've marked
  before  are  moved  into  the  approciate  directorys.  The
  descriptions are added at  the end of the FILES.BBS and the
  FILES.BBS of the actual file area will be saved.

  Optionally also  the file database  will be updated. If you
  haven't  set the flag  'Update file  database when  editing
  FILES.BBS' you  have to do  a UploadCheck in all file areas
  you have moved files into!

ALT-N
- The highlighted file will be touched with current time and
  date. Makes it easy to show important things to users.

ALT-O
- Enables you to tag all files that are older than x days.

ALT-P
- See ALT-A. Only difference is that you can get files from
  any directory. That means no copying from diskette and 
  scanning with ALT-A ;-)

ALT-Q
- Tags all files that are listed in FILES.BBS but are not on
  your Harddisk.

ALT-R
- Highlighted file will be deleted from disk after asking.

ALT-S
- Saves FILES.BBS and returns to file area menu.

ALT-T
- Tags or untags highlighted file.

ALT-U
- Untags all Tagged files.

ALT-V
- Activates either Gif-Viewer, Arc-Viewer or Text-Viewer, so
  that you can look into a file.

ALT-X
- Exit to DOS. FILES.BBS wil NOT be saved.

ALT-Fx
- Activate text macro

CTRL-C
- Convert  all tagged  files to  global ArcFormat  or to Arc-
  Format of the actual file area.

CTRL-D
- Deletes all files that are still in FILES.BBS but are no
  longer on disk.

CTRL-G
- Add Gif resolution to file description of all tagged files.

CTRL-L
- Copys a description to the line below. If a description is
  allready there this will be overwritten.

CTRL-M
- Move promoved files to their destination file areas.

CTRL-N : Touch Tagged files
- All tagged files get the current day & time

CTRL-R
- Remove  description of  the actual  hilited file  and start
  with a zero download counter.

CTRL-Y
- Deletes file from FILES.BBS but not from disk.

CTRL-Fx
- Run a program macro.If you  activate  this SYSOP  searches in  all files  for a
FILE_ID.DIZ  and DESC.SDI  and uses  it's contents  as file
description during ArcScan.A quick FileScan doesn't update the size/date/time of known
files in the database. This  mean that changes in the date,
size,  etc.  wouldn't be  recognized. This  speeds  up  the
FileScan by 70% ;-)A quick UploadCheck only adds new files to the database and
doesn't updates  the description of  known files. New files
will of course be imported. This is 70% faster ;-)For working in a FILES.BBS editor you can define ALT F-Keys
with textstrings and the CTRL F-Keys can be used for program
macros. These strings can be upto 255 characters long. All
macros MUST be in uppercase.

%P      = Active path of file area
%N      = Filename
%F      = Complete path + filename
%D      = Description of active File
%C      = Contents of COMSPEC

If more than one file is tagged when an F-KEY is used then
they will be worked on one after the other.You may design the outfit of  the gif resolution with three
macros:

  %W - Width
  %H - Height
  %C - Number of colorsShould SYSOP uses  the resolution  as file  description for
all GIF's that don't have a description during FileScan ?Should SYSOP uses  the resoultion as  file description when
adopting new GIF's during FileScan ?Sometimes you have files in your directory that other
programs use but that you dont want in your listings,
(e.g. FILES.BBS). Enter these names here.

Filename
- Name of file to hide

Description
- Description of this fileKill-File is an easy way to remove unwanted files. It is
possible to do this with different criteria.

You can delete files that are older t han X days but also
exclude files that have been downloaded more than X times.

It is also possible to run this without a saftey question
or you can choose to individually confirm each file for
deletion.Left Margin in cm, maybe for holes so that you can fill your
paper ;-)This package is shareware, so you'll have to pay for it after
a trial period of 30 days during which you can determine if
it's worth your money. If you like the package and want to
continue using it, you MUST pay. Look in the Register.Doc
contained in the archive for more info about the registration
procedure.

The package is not in any way crippled. Registration entitles
you to use it for as long as you wish.

The author is in no way obliged to give future support for
new versions of SYSOP.

The author will not be held liable to you or anyone else in
case of any kind of damage caused by the use or inability to
use SYSOP.

The author gives no other warrenty than the waste of disk-
space on your harddrive by SYSOP.Header for each file area. This can contain some
information about the area by using controlcodes.

See also AREA-TEMPLATES.This is the directory for all AllFiles / NewFiles and
areagroup listings.You may add the top 100 downloaded files statistic to the
All-/NewFiles listing. This statistic always has 100
entrys.You may add a file extension statistic for every file area
to the All-/NewFiles listing. Therefore you may enter up
to six extensions you want  to see in this statistic. The
extensions are delimited with SPACE and don't need the '.'.Name of AllFiles listing (arced)
Name of AllFiles listing (ascii)Name of the dbase compatible allfiles listing (arced)If you want to create an  dBase compatible allfiles listing
you have  to enter the  filename otherwise  it wouldn't  be
created.Filename of an ascii file that will be used as footer for
your filelists.Filename of an ascii file that will be used as header for
your filelists and has your BBS Infos in it.After how many characters of description should a new line
be started in the filelist (not FILES.BBS). If you don't
want a line wrap set it to zero.In this path SYSOP saves all log entrys that are older than
the amount of days you wanted to keep after shortening. The
filename is made up of the first 2 letters of the original
logfile & the current date, (e.g. 'RA200391' for a Remote
Access logfile from 20.03.91). The file will also be
archived with this name.This is where you put names of your various logfiles, the
keyword with whitch downloads and the baud rate will be
detected.

Logfile-Filename
- Path + Name of Logfile

Logfile-Type
- Format of Logfile. OPUS or FD

Keyword for download
- With this keyword SYSOP sees if a file was sent. The
  keyword may made up of more than one word. The keyword
  must have all charcaters up to next SPACE.

Distance Filename
- This many words before (-) or after (+) the keyword where
  the name of the sent file is found.

Distance Filesize
- This many words before (-) or after (+) the keyword where
  the size of the sent file is found. This is necessary only
  for logfiles that don't contain the path. The sent file
  will than be detected by the size.

Keywort for Baudrate
- This is the keyword that is directly in front of the
  Baudrate. It may be made up by more than one word.
The headers for all file listings and the FILES.BBS are
freely definable. Case sensitivity is not important with
these macros. The following macros are available:

%AO     = AreaNumber
          - Length: 3 characters
%AN     = AreaName
          - Length: 30 characters
%AI     = AreaInfo
          - Length: 30 characters
%FC     = Number of files in an area (always total)
          - Length: 4 characters
%FS     = Size of the newest file
          - Length: 8 characters
%FT     = Total size of all files in an area
          - Length: 11 characters
%FN     = Name of the newest file
          - Length: 12 characters
%FD     = Date of the newest file
          - Length: 8 characters
%DT     = Downloads total
          - Length: 4 characters

For the  AreaNumber it is also possible to show Mediumsize
numbers. You must define a macro for each of the 4 lines.
The MediumSize-Areanummber has a length of 23 characters.

%MN1    = Line 1 for Medium-Size numbers
%MN2    = Line 2 for Medium-Size numbers
%MN3    = Line 3 for Medium-Size numbers
%MN4    = Line 4 for Medium-Size numbers
          - Length: 23 characters

MediumSize-Numbers look like this:

For the AreaNumber it is also possible to show Bigsize
numbers. You must define a macro for each of the 6 lines.
The BigSize-Areanummber has a length of 23 characters.

%BN1    = Line 1 for Big-Size numbers
%BN2    = Line 2 for Big-Size numbers
%BN3    = Line 3 for Big-Size numbers
%BN4    = Line 4 for Big-Size numbers
%BN5    = Line 5 for Big-Size numbers
%BN6    = Line 6 for Big-Size numbers
          - Length: 23 characters

The BigSize-Numbers look like this:

If  you use  RemoteAccess  and MediumSize or  BigSize numbers
for the FILES.BBS template  be sure to insert an space in the
first column otherwise Remote Access would hang!The format of the AllFiles-Lists is user definable by using
macros. All macros must be UPPERCASE. Following macros are
available:

%F1     = Filename (Ext. without space, e.g. 'FILE.EXT')
%F2     = Filename (Ext. always from 9th place e.g. 'FILE    .EXT')

%S1     = Filesize in Byte (Format = 1234567)
%S2     = Filesize in Byte (Format = 1.123.456)
%S3     = Filesize in kB (Format = 1234)
%S4     = Filesize in kB (Format = 1.234)

%D1     = Date (Format = 01.12.91)
%D2     = Date (Format = 01-Dec-91)

%T1     = Description
%T2     = Carriage Return + Description + Emptyline

%TD1    = Transfertime at  2400 Baud ( 235 cps)
%TD2    = Transfertime at  9600 Baud (1050 cps)
%TD3    = Transfertime at 14400 Baud (1650 cps)
- Output in hourformat (HH:MM:SS)

%TD4    = Transfertime at  2400 Baud ( 235 cps)
%TD5    = Transfertime at  9600 Baud (1050 cps)
%TD6    = Transfertime at 14400 Baud (1650 cps)
- Output in minutes (MM:SS)

%TD7    = Transfertime at  2400 Baud ( 235 cps)
%TD8    = Transfertime at  9600 Baud (1050 cps)
%TD9    = Transfertime at 14400 Baud (1650 cps)
- Output in seconds (SSSS)

This list definition is available in AllFiles, NewFiles,
Arealists and NewArea-Lists.
Format of each line in the AllFiles-List. This line is user
definable.

See also LIST-TEMPLATES.This is the the description line for all files where a
description is missing (e.g. Uploaded by a LAZY user). This
will then appear in your FILES.BBS.The BBS Infofile is a file, e.g. advertising for your BBS
and is added to an archive.Maximum age for a file so that it will be listed in the
NewFiles listing.Path where you have different PAGE.RA. So that you can
change them periodically using the parameter CS.Choose your printer from the list available. Printers can be
either parallel or serial, (if you have no at this time) you
can print into a file for later printing (e.g. with DOS
PRINT).

If you print into a file SYSOP make a file called 'FILE.PRN'
this is made newley every time so make sure that the old one
has been printed, renamed or otherwise saved before printing.You  should set  this to  YES if you  want to use  external
tools for updating the  d/l counter in FILES.BBS instead of
SYSOP. In this case  SYSOP updates  the d/l counter  in the
database during import (UploadCheck)  and doesn't update it
during logfile read. Logfile-Read will then only update the
baudrate statistics.SYSOP is  distributed  as Shareware. It is not cut  down to a
minimum  of functions  and has a  complete  manual. The  only
limitation is  that the statistic  lengths are  limited to 10
entrys, only one special file list  can be  user defined  and
the lineformat of the file listings is not user definable.

If you like SYSOP and  still want to use it  after 30 days of
trial you must register!

The registration  fee is  DM 50,00 (or USD 30)  including the
german  V.A.T  of  14%  for  noncommercial  use. If  you  use
SYSOP on a commercial site or  use the  commercial version of
Remote Access / SuperBBS / QuickBBS the registration  fee is
DM 114,- (USD 70) including 14% V.A.T.

These thing are compulsory to make a proper netmail. The
adress is in the TO & FROM fields of each mail. This mail
may be sent to another node.SYSOP can optionally create a report during FileScan that
shows all adopted or missing files. This report can then be
made as textfile or as FidoNet compatible NetMail.Filename for FileScan-Report. This file is newley created
after each FileScan.If the report is to be generated as Textfile or Netmail.
If you use (T) then you must enter a filename.Path to your netmail folderSYSOP can optionally create a report during Upload-Check.
This report can then be made as textfile or as FidoNet
compatible NetMail.Who should receive the Report ?Filename for Uploadreport. This file is newley created
after each Upload-Check.SYSOP can be used in  a dialog session or  with parameters so
that you can let it run in an event.

Following Parameters can be used:

Parameters are NOT case  sensitive. It's not necessary to use
a slash or hyphen in front of a parameter.Should SYSOP activate the screensaver after the period of
inactivity you specified or should SYSOP quit.Delay until activation of ScreenSaver or quit SYSOP in sec.
Use zero to disable ScreenSaver.The parameters are made up of 4 Parts, global parameters,
paths and filenames, statistic and report parameters.Choose your type of graphic card & monitor from the list so
that you get the best possible display with SYSOP 2.11.

The options 'CGA' and 'EGA' are for the menus on a color
monitor. The options CGA /M' and 'EGA /M' are for monochrome
displays.Apart from making All-/Newfileslists you can make different
file listings for Areagroups. These are managed here.

Filename of Filelist
- Name of Filelist (ascii). Is put into Allfiles-Path.

Filename of ARC-Filelist
- Name of Filelist (arced)

Filename AllFiles-Template
- Header for each file area. See also 'Global Parameters'. If
  no entry is made then the template from the AllFiles-List
  will be used.

Filename of NewFiles-List
- Name of NewFilelist (ascii)

Filename of ARC-NewFiles
- Name of New-Filelist (arced)

Filename NewFiles-Template
- Header for each file area. See also 'Global Parameters'. If
  no entry is made the template from the NewFiles-List will
  be used.
Number of entrys in the various statistics. In unregistered
version the length is hardcoded to 10 entrys. When using
the registered version you may set this to any value.SYSOP is able to use nearly all data made in a BBS System and
and put them into statistics. All statistics are made as
ANSI-File and as ASCII-File, and put into the text directory
defined in the BBS config.

A phantastic function is that the Upload-/Download statistics
are made in the form of a Hitparade (Charts) that makes it
easy to see how a User/File climbs/falls.

Because of this it is good only to make these statistics
once or twice a week otherwise the changes are not so
obvious.

For the user statistics SYSOP has its own userfile. Parts of
it are taken from USERS.BBS. For this reason it is better to
run the (Top User List) statistic before all others.

The headers for statistics are definable in the parametermenu.
SYSOP  optionally uses  the  users  realname  or his  handle,
depending of the settings in SETUP->STATISTCS.


                       Top User List
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Creates a user statistic, in which the best callers, uploader
(kb) and downloader (Kb) are shown. Allways use this one
first because it gets data from USERS.BBS.


                     BBS-Statistic
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

This statistic shows how many calls, uploads, downloads and
written mails per day and total go through your system. For
For the uploads and downloads the total kilobytes are also
shown.


                User parameter statistic
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

This shows how your users have their parameters set. it shows
how many & in percent have 'Clearscreen' 'page pausing' 'ANSI'
'AVATAR' 'Fullscreen-Editor' 'Full-Screen-Reader' etc. set.

Also the average password length and how many users have
called your BBS more than once.


                 Mail area statistic
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

This one shows how many messages are in each area.


                    Mail writer
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
  
The mail writer statistic is a hitparade listing and should
therefore not be used daily. It shows how many messages a
user has written and his last position in the ratings.


                 Top downloaded Files
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

The top downloaded file statistic is a Hitparade listing and
should therefore not be used daily. It shows how many times a
file has been downloaded and its last position in the ratings.


             Downloader Statistic - Number of files
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

The downloader statistic is a Hitparade listing and should
therefore not be used daily. It shows how many downloads a
user has made, and his last position in the ratings.


               Downloader Statistic - KiloByte
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

The downloader statistic (KiloyByte) lists the biggest down-
loaders. It even gets around the 65 MegByte limit of RA/SBBS,
so that the proper amount is always shown.


             Uploader Statistic - Number of Files
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

The uploader statistic is a Hitparade listing and should
therefore not be used daily. It shows how many uploads a user
has made, and his last position in the ratings.


                Uploader Statistic - KiloByte
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

The uploader statistic (KiloyByte) shows the best uploaders.
Here is also no 65 MegaByte limit so that the real amount is
always shown.


                      Baud statistic
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

The baud statistic shows a graphic bar of each used baud
rates. The following baudrates are supported: 300, 1200,
2400, 2400 MNP, 4800, 7200, 9600, 12000, 14400, 19200, 38400
baud. Only the baudrates that are really used will be shown.These are the headers for the different statistics.You may specify wether SYSOP should use the realname or the
users handle in the statistic.Temporary path for a SwapFile into a DOS Shell, Arc-View,
Gifview, Textview and when Arcing Files. If SET TMP is used
and no entry is made here then the TMP path will be used.Do you want to use EMS for swapping? If EMS  has no memory
free at that time then SYSOP automatically uses the swap
path.Do you want to use Extended Memory for swapping? This is
not recommended because there is only one programme around
at this time that can use it. If extended memory  is full
then SYSOP uses automatically the swap path.Do you want to use XMS for swapping? If XMS has no memory
free at that time then SYSOP automatically use the swap
path. XMS naturaly needs Himem.sys or Qemm for swapping to
it.Name of  SYSOP's  logfile. If you  don't specify  it  SYSOP
creates the logfile in its directory.Temporary path for unarcing for ArcScan and VirusScan.
SYSOP unarcs into this path. It brings a higher performance
but obviously there musst be enough diskspace available.Do you want to continue next textsearch in FILES.BBS editor
at the current position or start again from top.Should SYSOP tag all  found records until  end of FILES.BBS
during textsearch ?Do you want to tag  all found records  during textsearch in
FILES.BBS editor ?Do you want to  SYSOP to update the  file database whenever
FILES.BBS was saved during editing with FILES.BBS editor.Name of the program for viewing archives. If the viewer is
in your PATH you only need the program name.

Commandline parameters are allowed too.Name of the program to view GIF`s. If the viewer is in your
path you only need the name of the program.

Commandline parameters are allowed too.Name of the program to view textfiles. If the program is in
your path you only need the program name.

Commandline parameters are allowed too.
