% 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.
