VERSION 1.3
DATE: 01/26/93
CHANGES:
version 1.1
(1) Allows users to enter extended descriptions
(up to 90 characters).
(2) Asks users if they want to logoff after transfer.
(3) ULPATH.LST - List of directory names to check
for duplicate uploading
(4) "/P" - Always check ULPATH.LST.
(5) "/D" - Allows SysOp to toggle free UL time.
(6) "/X:***" - Lets you specify a default file
extension for uploads. (eg. /X:zip)
(7) UL.LOG - Keeps track of what was uploaded,
where it was uploaded, and who uploaded it.
version 1.2
(1) Bug fixed! Users are now logged off without any
key presses.
(2) "/A2:n" - if this switch is used and the user
chooses to LogOff after transfer, the program
will not log them off; instead, an authorization
flag in field two will be set---otherwise it will
be reset. If the switch is not used, BUPLD.TPG will
not change any authorization flags.
(3) Major bug fixed! Two users now encounter no problems
when simultaneously using the program.
version 1.3
(1) Greater verstaility in handling ULPATH.LST.
Now compatible with .FAR format.
PURPOSE: Allows users to perform batch uploads, appending the
file descriptions in alternate directory format.
INSTALL: Copy UPLD.TPG, ULPATH.LST, and UL.LOG (optional) into any
directory. Call the program from a TBBS menu with:
"TYPE = 200 OPTDATA = (path)\BUPLD /Q && (DirFile) [/D/P/X:***/A2:n]"
DirFile is the path and filename of the directory
file for the area where you want the uploads to go.
SWITCHES: [/D /P /X:*** /A2:n]
/D Don't charge for upload time
This switch allows uploads to be "free" on the
system, i.e., time spent uploading doesn't count
against time limits or billing.
/X:*** Default File extension
This switch specifies a default extension for the program
to append to uploads without an extension. (eg. /X:zip)
/P (optional switch) - Always check ULPATH.LST
DEFAULT: When the user chooses to logoff after transfer,
the program prompts him to enter the filenames beforehand.
The program will then check ULPATH.LST to make sure that
the filename does not already exist before transfering
the file. If he does not choose "LogOff" ULPATH will
not check ULPATH.LST.
The /P switch, however, prompts the user for filenames
before ALL transfer regardless of whether "LogOff" is
chosen. Consequently, ULPATH.LST will always be checked.
NOTE: Limiting factors of "/P" are:
(1) If users are not prompted for filenames before
the transfer, they will not have to type in
any filenames---only descriptions.
(2) Before the transfer a maximum of 20 files can
be entered for uploading.
NOTE: If ULPATH.LST does not exist, no directories will
be checked.
/A2:n (optional switch) - Set the users A2 flag on LogOff.
if this switch is used and the user chooses to LogOff
after transfer, the program will not log them off; instead,
the authorization flag number 'n' in field two will be set
---otherwise it will be reset. If the switch is not used,
BUPLD.TPG will not change any authorization flags.
(eg. /A2:3
if the user chooses to logoff they will exit the program
with: A2=--X-----
otherwise: A2=--.-----)
NOTE: This switch is useful if you wish to log users off
through type 5/45 menu. It was requested by sysops
who use third party TBBS software.
UL LOG: The file UL.LOG keeps track of what files were uploaded,
where they were uploaded, and who uploaded them. If you
don't want to use it, simply delete the file, and the
program won't write to it anymore. Re-create the file
in the same directory as UPLD.TPG to resume use.
