- version is free, and you do not have to pay for it. You may make as many
- copies as you wish, give the program to anyone or do anything else you wish
- except sell it or modify it. If you find the program useful, you are asked
- to make payment of $20.00 to Tom Savage. Doing so will help in recovering
- some of the cost of development and result in the registered version being
- uploaded to your board. The registered version MAY NOT be re-distributed.
- It has many options which the shareware version does not and it will be
- supported as far as future enhancements, bugs etc.
-
- Please note: I am totally in support of Mustang software and WILDCAT!.
- This program will not run on a shareware version of WILDCAT!. I have
- elected to support Mustang software to the fullest of my capabilities and
- this program will not run on a Shareware copy of WILDCAT!. If you wish to
- run this program, you must first be a registered usert of WILDCAT!

- --- COPYRIGHT ---
-
- Regardless of the method of marketing used, WCFILEST is NOT in the "Public
- Domain". It is copyrighted by Tom Savage. However, we grant you the right,
- in fact ENCOURAGE you to make and distribute as many copies as you wish,
- of the shareware version, using any acceptable medium of exchange, with the
- following restrictions:
-
-
-
-
- - DO NOT -
- 1. Distribute the Program without this documentation;
- 2. Accept remuneration for the program;
- 3. Alter the program in any manner.
-
-
- The registered version is supplied for use by an individual, in recognition
- of his/her support for the effort taken to produce this program. It is not
- shareware, and will not be distributed as such. It will be provided to
- those individuals who support the shareware concept. Re-distribution of
- the registerd version is prohibitted. In other words, don't share the
- registered version.
-
-
-
- This program will give an alphabetical listing of the files by
- reading fileinfo.dat from your WILDCAT! root directory. WCFILEST.COM
- should reside in your WILDCAT! root directory, and you must have all the
- WILDCAT! support files available to this program.
-
- The output from this program will go to FILESORT.DAT (unless O= is on
- command line) and will be formatted for printing as:
-
- Name date area size listing date
- {Description, 80 characters long}
-
- Page feeds are included for hardcopy prints.
-
-
-
- The available options are :
-
- /? - Prints a abbreviated help listing.
-
- /E=abc - which allow you to prevent files in areas a,b and c
- from being listed. Up to 26 areas can be
- eliminated, but why you would....? Note: Do not
- leave a space after the equals sign.
-
- /f=yourfile.nam - Allows you to select the output name of your file.
- Of course, this file name must follow your DOS
- restrictions. The default filename (if you do not
- choose one) is filesort.dat. (no spaces after the
- equals sign here either!)
-
- /h=n - Puts a heading of n lines at the top of each page.
- This heading is read from a file lnhead.dat that you
- create with any standard ASCII file creator.
-
- /d - Puts date at end of description line at top of each
- page.
-
- /hp - Puts a heading page as the first page of your
- listing. Same as with /h=n option, you create this,
- as you want it to appear with an ASCII text
- formatter. File name to be read is pghead.dat.
-
- /b - Turns off those annoying beeps.
-
- /t - Eliminates the 20 second delay on the opening screen.
-
-
- For example: If you do not want to list file areas a and b
- output to Myfile.lst, a heading of our file list and the
- date stamped:
-
- wcfilest /E=ab /f=myfile.lst /h=2 /d
-
- lnhead.dat would contain:
- Our File list
-
-
-
-
-
- Future additions
-
- Sort by File Area
- Sort by File Date (both ascending and descending order)
- Sort by number of accesses
- And of course, any combination of the above!
-
- Changes from WCFILEST version 1.00 & 1.01
- Code re-written to provide faster sorting and relaxing of free disk space
- requirement. The program will run faster with more free memory and will
- require less dsik space for temporary holding.
-
- Added several options to make program more adaptable (eliminating beeps,
- and time delay).
-
- Changed the page heading setup and added a routine to add a title page
- (/hp) to have more flexibility on what you can put on your listing.
-
- Added restrictions on running WCFILEST on non-registered copies of
- WILDCAT!. This is solely my decision, it has nothing to do with Mustang
- Software other than the fact that I want them to keep on working on their
- product. I now require that prior to running WCFILEST, you be a
- registered user of WILDCAT!.
-
- Added restrictions on running WCFILEST in a shareware mode. Options are
- not available (except /?) in shaerware version.
-

-
- --- TECHNICAL SUPPORT ---
-
- I will entertain any suggestions, comments, etc. and provide any help
- possible for WCFILEST. If you elect to call (voice) please restrict
- your calls to 4PM - 9PM daily. I have to work for a living!
-
- An alternate method is to call NEI BBS (my hobby) at 219-436-2302 and
- leave me a message. Of course, we are running WILDCAT! and can provide
- some help there also.
-
- And lastly, I can be reached on MUSTANG SOFTWARE's BBS (home of
- WILDCAT!).
