The CDROM program included with TrinityBBSV19t archive is a program that
will auto-install must CDROMs for use with TrinityBBS. This program will
only work with TrinityBBSV19t or higher.
I will go through an example on installing the Aminet CD-ROM:
While the BBS is running run the program CDROM
You will be asked the following questions:
Enter CD DEVICE Name: (ex. CD0:) :
This is the action device name for your CD-ROM drive. For most users
it is CD0:
Enter Path & File Name For Dir File :
This is the file the program will use to get the actual directorys and
descriptions to use as file areas on your BBS. The Aminet CD-ROM
includes a dirs.txt file for this purpose in its root directory. You
would type "cd0:dirs.txt". Some CD-ROMS will not have this file or
will not include it in a format for use with this program, so you may
have to create one or modify a similar file. This program will expect
something like this:
aminet/comm/bbs BBS Programs
The first field MUST BE the exact path on the cdrom (the cd0: is not
needed and should not be included) to located files for the given
(second field) description. The program will create the file area
using this description. You may edit this file to change the
descriptions especially if they are long.
Enter File List Filename : ",flist$
This is the file the program will use to get the filenames and
descriptions of the files in each directory (file area) on the
CD-ROM. Its format is similar to the dirs.txt format. The file
must be included in each directory on the CD-ROM (or at least
each directory that is in the DIRS file) For the AMINET CD-ROM you
would use 00_index.txt. Most other CD-ROMS you may use files.bbs.
Enter # of Header Lines In File List :
The file list file may have header information like a long description
for the directory or various other information before the actual list
of filenames and their descriptions. The program must not confuse
this information as actual files. Enter the number of lines that is
in this header. This should work with all copies of the file in all
directorys. The Latest AMINET CD-ROM however has no header info in
it's 00_index.txt files, so you would enter 0. But it is a fact that
the file.bbs file does have a bit of header info including blank
lines.
Enter A Library Name:
Enter the EXACT name of the File Library to use on your BBS for this
CD-ROM. For Example AMINET CD-ROM. The program will create the
library of file areas using this name.
The program will tell you each file area as it creates them as well as the
number of files it found. I have included the source (CDROM.src) to this
program so that you may modify it to be easier to use for other types of
CD-ROMS you may own.
