% BOARDNAME
;
; This is used to specify your BBS name. If you have registered, you must
; still specify this line, but the exact name will be taken from the key
; file instead. If you do not specify this, it will default to "SEMAJ!"
; irrespective of whether or not you have a key.
;
BOARDNAME dataMatrix!
% COUNT
;
; COUNT goes with the TIDY command, and lets you specify what characters
; you've got for your filescounter type parameters. Most people use [xx] as
; the format which is represented by "COUNT []" but some use <xx>
; ("COUNT <>"), some other formats are used as well.. If you are one of the
; people who use a format that isn't [xx] you can use it with FSUMM.
;
COUNT []
% SORT
;
; SORT enables the ultra-fast FILES.BBS sort routine. This will sort your
; files listings under headers - characters that are non-alphanumeric are
; taken to be headers by FSUMM.
;
SORT
% NOSUMMARY
;
; This disables the FSUMM headers in your FILES.BBS file. The headers are
; the pretty displays you often see that list the number of files etc.
;
;NOSUMMARY
% KEEPLATEST
;
; This verb keeps the latest few copies of a file you specify. This is very
; useful for keeping a few of the latest nodediff files, etc. It uses the DOS
; time-stamp to find which files to delete. It doesn't delete the entries of
; your FILES.BBS listings - so we recommend you to use REMOFFLINE if you use
; this verb.
;
KEEPLATEST 12 G:\FILES\NETWORK\NODEDIFF.*
KEEPLATEST 1 G:\FILES\NETWORK\NODELIST.*
% REMOFFLINE
;
; This command is to remove all entries of files in your listings that do
; not exist in the directories.
;
REMOFFLINE
% NAMEUPLOAD
;
; This command will add the name of uploaders to files that are new on your
; system. It will change the FILES.BBS entry and you can use macros,
;
; %NAME - uploader's name
; %DESC - previous description
;
NAMEUPLOAD |%NAME| %DESC
;
; This is the kind of thing you would get:
; LHA205.EXE [00] |stuart henderson| The new LHarc v2.05, very nice!
% KILLDAYS
;
; This is probably most useful for SDS sysops who do not want to keep files
; more than thirty days etc. This should be followed by the number of days
; maximum to keep files, then a wildcard path, ie:
;
KILLDAYS 30 E:\SDS\SDSRA\*.*
% AREAHEADER
;
; AREAHEADER is the file which is included at the start of your FILES.BBS
; files as long as NOSUMMARY is not selected. You may use keywords as follows
; in it:-
;
; %DATE (24 characters) displays the current date and time in the output
; %DIR (47 characters) displays the name of the area (right justified)
; %LDIR (47 characters) displays the name of the area (left justified)
; %FNO (3 characters) displays the number of files in the current area
; %FBYTES (9 characters) displays the number of bytes used in the area
; %DLOADS (4 characters) displays the number of downloads in the area
; %PWORD (16 characters) displays the area password (left justified) **
; %PDESC (50 characters) displays whether has an area password **
; ** -> see later in this file
;
AREAHEADER E:\RA\HEADER.FSM
% MEGAHEADER
;
; This verb is very similar to AREAHEADER, but instead of the header at the
; top of FILES.BBS, this option defines the header file for each area in
; your MegaList. You can use the same keyword macros as in AREAHEADER with
; this verb.
;
MEGAHEADER E:\RA\MEGAHEAD.FSM
% TOUCH
;
; This verb will change the filestamp on a file to the current date, mainly
; to mark a few important files as new (ie major programs for new users
; such as ARJ, PKZIP, etc). You can specify up to fifteen of these.
;
TOUCH G:\FILES\ARCHIVE\ARJ020.EXE
TOUCH G:\FILES\ARCHIVE\LHA205.EXE
TOUCH G:\FILES\ARCHIVE\PKZ110.EXE
% IGNORE
;
; This will allow you to specify certain disk drives for FSUMM to ignore.
; Any file area which resides on the specified drive will be skipped for all
; FSUMM processing. This is probably of most use on slow drives like CD-Roms.
; Note it will check only the Path to Files for this drive letter. If your
; CD-Rom is on drive Z: (like many seem to be), the statement IGNORE Z will
; ignore fileareas where the actual files are on drive Z.
;
IGNORE Z
IGNORE Q
% UPDATE
;
; This is used in conjunction with the extended adopt verb. You must set up
; to adopt files to certain places in the filelist, as explained below. When
; you have done this, the UPDATE verb will turn on an additional mechanism
; that scans the filelists and if it detects one of the filespecs specified
; in the adoption list, the file description will be moved to the correct
; part of the file list. Note that the description is not changed; all this
; does is moves the location in the file list.
