BUNDLE.spot V1.3
-------------------
This script will first put up a file requester and enable you to
select multiple files. Each file will then be compared against
your chosen BBS file list, and checked for duplicate entries.
It will also be checked against a log of previous uploads. This
log will be created if it does not previously exist.
Any files that are found will be discarded from the list.
You will then be asked if you wish to add these files into one
large archive so that you can then 'File attach' them to your
Boss.
It will then write a message within SPOT and you will be prompted
for descriptions of each file in the archive.
This message will be flagged as a 'File Attach', and the subject
line will consist of the path to the archive.
If Spot was iconified on startup, or simply not running, you will
be given the option to re-iconify or quit.

# #
# TO USE.. #
# #
# Double click the icon, or run from Spot. When used for the first time #
# you will be asked to create a Prefs file called S:Bundle.prefs. #
# #
# I have included as much error checking as possible, but please be #
# careful that all information requested is totally accurate. In #
# particular things like your Fido address. #
# #
# Once a Prefs file has been created, you can decide either to BUNDLE #
# some files, or change the settings. #
# #
#########################################################################
Bundle.prefs
------------
This is a simple list of settings for Bundle.spot.
Any blank lines or lines containing a '#' character will be ignored
when read in by Bundle.spot.
There MUST be 13 items in the list. If more/less items are detected
Bundle will report a corrupt Prefs file, and you will be prompted to
create a new file.
RXNil
-----
A patched version of the RX command has been supplied called RXNil.
This suppresses the output window of the original RX command, and can
be specified as the default tool in the BUNDLE.spot icon. Just stick it
in REXXC: along with RX.
BE WARNED- If there is anything wrong with your set up (or my script ;-)
there is no way you can be informed of any errors.
I would recommend first using RX as the default tool or launching from
SPOT until you are happy everything is OK.
The archive RX-PATCHER.LHA contains the patch that creates RXNil.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-------------------
-AREXX
-SPOT (registered version)
-LHA
-Rexxreqtools.library properly installed
TO DO LIST..
------------
- Fine tune the error checking to make it totally idiot proof
- Enable multiple Prefs files for different addresses/networks/Bosses
- Get info of the screen that called BUNDLE so that ALL requesters
appear on that screen.
- Any ideas? ;-)
KNOWN BUGS
----------
The Rexreqtools volume requester returns 'Ram Disk:' if you select
'Ram:'. The script doesn't like the space in the name.
If you want to use 'Ram:' then you'll have to enter the name manually.
