Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
AquaAdder is a text adder! It takes a text file and adds a header
(S:AquaAdder.Head) and a tailer (S:AquaAdder.Tail) to it. It can be used both
from shell and in BBS systems like AmiExpress.
Features
~~~~~~~~
It can insert time and date anywhere you like in the header and the tailer.
There are two time formats available (HH:MM and HH:MM:SS), and two date
formats (DD-MMM-YY and MM-DD-YY).
It is very FAST - as fast as a text adder can be!! Maybe even faster...
AquaAdder is completely system friendly and safe. No memory losses, Enforcer
hits or any other crash risks.
If header + tailer + text file don't fit in memory, the tool enters
"low-memory mode"; it tries to load only the tailer, to append it. The header
won't be inserted then.
It is "pure" and can therefore be made resident.
The output is extremely cool! :) (Look at the IFF picture..)
Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~
AquaAdder requires an Amiga with OS 2.04 or higher.
Usage
~~~~~
The command syntax is:
AquaAdder <TextFile>
Example:
AquaAdder dh3:tmp/god-bnbr.doc
If you are going to use this tool with AmiExpress 3.x or higher, copy the
provided icon 'TXT.info' to BBS:FCheck/ and duplicate it for every other text
file extension: NFO.info, DOC.info, DOK.info etc.
There is just ONE error message that AmiExpress should recognize as an error
that should move the file to HOLD, and that string is "ERROR: Failed to
write" or just "Failed to write". The other possible error messages, for
example "ERROR: Failed to open S:AquaAdder.Head!", should NOT cause the
uploaded file to be put in HOLD.
The Header and Tailer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
S:AquaAdder.Head is the file that will be put in front of the text file.
S:AquaAdder.Tail will be put at the end. The header and the tailer may
contain codes that will be replaced by the current time and date
respectively. The possible codes are:
Code Format Example
--------- --------- -------
$TIME HH:MM 14:52
$TIMESEC HH:MM:SS 14:52:45
$DATE_DOS DD-MMM-YY 29-Sep-94
$DATE_US MM-DD-YY 09-29-94
For example, if S:AquaAdder.Tail contains the string '$DATE_DOS', then that
string will be replaced by the current date formatted as 'DD-MMM-YY', for
instance '29-Sep-94'.
