Short: StdIO-Door for CD-Roms - easy to use
Author: marc_fuehrer@scooter.ping.de
Type: comm/bbs
Long:
Usage: start cddc with this template:
cddc Device/A Dir/K
You have to give a DEVICE - e.g. "CD0:" - from which Cddc shall read. There
is not much more to be said about this one.
If you have a readymade directory file you can very much speed up Cddc. A
directory file contains all pathes to directories the user may have access
to. This way you can also exclude certain pathes from the user's access
since Cddc only respects those directories given in a directory file. If
you do not supply such a file, ALL directories on the "Device" can be
accessed!
There is a further advantage in using directory-files: if the path to the
directory is followed by an asterik ("*") and a filename, Cddc will use
this file IN the preceeding directory when displaying the filelist from
which the user can choose the files to download.
Example:
.........cut............
cd0:aminet/comm/bbs *files.bbs
cd0:aminet/comm/misc *files.bbs
cd0:aminet/comm/fido
.........cut............
This would allow the user to access the directories "comm/bbs", "comm/misc"
and "comm/fido" on an aminet-cd, where "bbs" and "misc" have their
"files.bbs" which include descriptions to the files in the directory. In
"fido" all descriptions will display "-no description-" since no
"files.bbs" is specified.
NOTE: You have to make sure the supplied files.bbs (or whatever) has no
"header" or "footer" - just lines starting with the filename, followed by
at least ONE SPACE and whatever is wanted else (filelengthes, descriptions
or what else). Aminet-"files.bbs" are fine.
NOTE: Directory-files have to include the device and the full pathes to the
directories - adressing must be absolute, not relative!
Results:
--------
Cddc can be ended by sending a CTRL_C to it or by the user via it's menus.
A file "ram:cddc.batch" has been generated - if the user marked files. You
can even pass a "ram:cddc.batch" to cddc - simply have it ready when
starting cddc. The files included (full pathes!) will then be included in
the batch and can also be deleted by the batch-editor.
Bugs:
-----
I have tested Cddc and found no SERIOUS bug. If you do encounter one,
please let me know.

I can be reached via "marc_fuehrer@scooter.ping.de" or FidoNet 2:2437/504 -
FidoNet adresses tend to change! Have a look into the actual NodeList or
use E-Mail.
P.S.
----
I will continue working on Cddc since there are still options to include. I
am planning to restrict access to certain directories via user-levels,
maybe even with passwords (I HATE passwords :-) )
I would be happy to receive mail, suggestions, gifts - but besides of this
(are there people WILLING to use this software?) Cddc is FREEWARE and may
be copied, used, resold without making ANY profit of it.
