What is RAFI2FLS ?
RAFI2FLS is a program that will read your RemoteAccess Configuration
files, in particilarly, your FILES.RA and generate an output text file
names FLSEARCH.CTL. This file is required by some doors for use under
RemoteAccess.
The archive you downloaded/received should be named RAFI_110.??? where
??? will be one of the many archive extensions.
The RAFI_110.??? archive may be converted to another archive format
provided that all the listed files below are included and no others
are added either.
RAFI2FLS.EXE The executable program.
RAFI2FLS.DOC This documentation you are reading now.
THANK.YOU A thank you to all those who have registered Piston
Popper Software products.

▒▒ HOW TO INSTALL IT !!▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Unpack the files from the archive and copy them into your RA or SBBS
system directory.
RAFI2FLS can in actual fact be run from anywhere on your system as
it locates the path for RemoteAccess or SuooerBBS from the DOS
environment variables. These variables *MUST* be declared before
RAFI2FLS will run. The best way to do this is at the start of your
batch file put the following statements:
SET RA=<Full Drive & Path to RA Directory>
or
SET SBBS=<Full Drive & Path to RA Directory>
e.g.
SET RA=C:\RA1
SET SBBS=C:\SBBS
To use RAFI2FLS all you do is enter RAFI2FLS at the dos prompt.
There are four command line parameters that can be specified and these
are 'R' , 'S' , 'H' and 'X'.
The parameter 'H' will display a HELP screen.
If no command line parameter is specified, RAFI2FLS will create the
FLSEARCH.CTL file with trailing backslash's in the filepath in the
output file. This is regardless of wether the trailing backslash is
configured in the FILES.RA via RACONFIG or not. If the trailing backslash
is missing, then one will be appended. This is the default mode with
is to process a RemoteAccess System. If the requirement is for a
SuperBBS based system, then the 'S' parameter should be used.
C:\IBMFILES\ 5 General_Ibm_Files
C:\UPLOADS\ 5 New_Uploads
If the command line parameter is 'R' or 'r', then all trailing backslash's
are removed from the filepath field.
C:\IBMFILES 5 General_Ibm_Files
C:\UPLOADS 5 New_Uploads
If 'X' is also specified, then an extended format output file will be
created as shown below :-
R:\IBMFILES\ 5 General_Ibm_Files C:\ListPath\Files.33
where a fully qualified path/filename will be added that points to the
files.bbs for that particular directory. This is only of use in general
where CDROMS are bieng employed. Further discussion of this will be found
in the FLM documentation as well as the REMOTEACCESS documentation and
maybe in the SuperBBS documentation.
The output file will be created in the current directory.
The program has been successfully tested on several systems under
a wide range of video cards including Hercules, CGA, EGA & VGA, and
MS-Dos versions 3.20, 3.30 , 4.0x and 5.00 DESQview 2.4x and QEMM 6.0x.
This program can be used to create your DOWNLOAD.QMX file by renaming
the output file from FLSEARCH.CTL to DOWNLOAD.QMX and placing this in
your directory with XRSDOOR.EXE. XRSDOOR is part of Mike Ratledge's
eXpress Response System ( XRS ). A full discussion of the DOWNLOAD.QMX
file will be found in the XRS DOOR documentation.

▒▒ ERRORLEVELS ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
0 - OK. Program Terminated Normally
RAFI2FLS will generate other errorlevels but in this release they will
remain un-published as to what they mean, but in so much should an error
level greater than 0 be generated, then there is an error somewhere. !

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The program is DESQview aware and can be run inside a 128K Dos Window.
When RAFI2FLS initialises it checks for the presence of the DESQview
multi-tasking environment and if active re-directs the screen to the
DESQview window in which it is running.
