-> Can you explain how to PROPERLY use the ALLFILES.LST. I have checked the
-> whatsnew and, to be honest, I don't understand it.
Think of it this way:
ALLFILES.LST is nothing more than a DLPATH.LST ... but it is COMMON to
ALL areas of the BBS if it is specified.
In other words, usage of ALLFILES.LST is identical to DLPATH.LST. You put the
same kinds of paths and/or index files in it.
The only difference is that, if ALLFILES.LST is specified, PCBoard will use IT
instead of the DLPATH.LST file when determining if a file (to be uploaded)
already exists on the system.
The SOLE PURPOSE of this new capability is this:
To let you scan for prior existence of the file IN ALL CONFERENCES
before allowing the caller to upload the file.
So use it the same way you have used DLPATH.LST in the past. But include paths
(or index files) for ALL conferences.
NOTE: If all of your conferences have the same DLPATH.LST file then there is
absolutely no reason to use ALLFILES.LST.
