Download Pro Ver. 1.01
This script was writen to provide an easy way to download files and
log the enteries for a PcBoard BBS. To use this script, there is just a few
things to change.
1. Set the BBS in the expert mode.
2. Create a directory in Prowin call LOG (example, C:\prowin\log)
3. Make sure that the Paths in the scripts match you system. (example,
C:\prowin\capture, C:\prowin\log, ect..).
After the changes are made, just compile the script and your ready to run.
This script uses the File clipboard to store the list of filenames.
So you must use the File Clipboard for it to work correctly. Once the files
are selected from the terminal window, the script will save the filenames
to a file (fileclip.txt), then use this file for the source of downloadable
files. This all you have to do:
-Click the File Clipboard Icon.
-Double click the filename in the terminal window you would like to
download.
-Repeat the above until you have all the files you would like to
downlaod.
-Close the File Clipboard.
-At the PcBoard main board prompt, start the script. The script does
the rest.
Also added to this Version is a Download log of that BBS. It will
log the Date, Start & Stop time of Downloads, System name and Filenames
downloaded. This log is repeated for every system you call. This helps you
keep track of the files you have Downloaded. This log will look like the
following:
System Name: Execnet
Date: 03/01/93
Start Time: 04:44:52AM
Stop Time: 04:45:02AM
Downloaded Files:
AGENT.ZIP
10BEST.ZIP
The System name is drawn from the Dialing Directory Name you used
for that BBS. The Start Time and Stop Time are the times that the download
accually started and ended for all the files to be recieved to your
computer.
I've also included a very short script (Logread.was) to read the Log
file. It loads Notepad with the log file where you can read it easially.
Using Natepad as the reader, it also gives you the option to edit the log
if you like. I thought it would be better this way, so you may erase
filenames from the log or add comments to the log If you wish.
The easiest way I've found to run these scripts is to attach the
script files to a META key. This way the scripts are just a click a way.
You may find the Meta Key reference on page 6.2.
Let me know what you think of this script. I'm looking for any
comments from everybody. If you have something you would like to see
added let me know. Hay, It might be something I could find use of also.
