What is GETHBI ?
GETHBI (Get the Bins) is an easy-to-use, multithreaded, on-/off-line
Binaries-News-Reader for OS/2.
And its CardWare (look at the end of this document).
( The Version 1.2 is the last Cardware-Version,
later Versions will be Shareware. Register now...)
Installation
============
Do you use HPFS ? I hope so. I never check the size of filenames or
directories.
Create a directory and copy GETHBI.EXE in this directory. Thats all.
Thats all, if you have VROBJ.DLL in your LIBPATH and MUNPACK in your PATH.
If not, you find VROBJ21d.zip and MPACK15?.ZIP on most of the OS/2
FTP-servers.
What now?
=========
Open the Settings-Notebook (EXTRA/SETTINGS).
You see 5 pages:
DEFAULT, IGNORE, GROUPS, KILLFILE and PROGRAM
I will begin at the last page
PROGRAM
-------
Autodownload : (default on)
If Autodownload ist on, the download will start automaticly if
you are connected to your newsserver.
Start x Downloads (default 4)
Autodownload (or /SERVER/DOWNLOAD) starts x downloadsessions.
retry connect max. (default 999)
If the server is busy, GETHBI will retry x times to connect.
close Netcall windows (default off)
if a netcall has ended, the netcall window closed. (except you have
defined a reconnect-time (see Defaults)
download directory (default files\)
The directory-structur do you want to use.
max. filebase size x KB (default 0)
The size of the filebase. If it is 0, the filebase will never be
reduced, else if the filebase is larger then the max. filebase size,
the oldest (the first entries) will be deleted.
KILLFILE
--------
The killfile of GETHBI.
Insert the part of subject, the adresses or the filenames, do you want to
ignore.
In "all of them above" you can write keywords that ever will be ignored if
they are found in subject, form or filename.
WWW
HTTP
SITE
FREE
COST
HOT
URL
ADULT
MONEY
FEE
are very useful keywords.
Use one line for every keyword.
In Subject,From and All the position of then keyword will be ignored.
In Filename must the Filename begin with the keyword.
i.e.
IMAGE ignore IMAGEPIC.JPG and IMAGE.GIF and IMAGE000.ARJ
IMAGE. ignore IMAGE.JPG and IMAGE.GIF
IMAGE# ignore IMAGE000.GIF,IMAGE001.JPG,IMAGE002.ARJ,...
the file PICIMAGE will not be ignored.
DEFAULTS
--------
Defaults contain all settings that are very useful, if you have more
then one Newsserver.
Port (default 119)
I've never seen a newsserver that do not use port 119 .
Filetypes: (default .JPG;.JPEG;.GIF;.AVI;.MPG;.MPEG;.MOV)
The filetypes that you want to download. Don't forget the ";"
between the extensions.
min. Filesize (default 100)
If a news smaller then 100 lines, it will be ignored.
Reconnect after x minutes (default 0)
After x min., a newsserver connection has ended, GETHBI starts this
netcall again. 0=no reconnect
IGNORE
------
Ignoring Characters (default _- )
these Characers will be ignored, if GETHBI compares the filename
with the Database.
i.E.: ABC.EXE and _ABC.EXE and A-BC.EXE and ABC_.EXE
are the same filename, if
ignore leading chars ON (default)
ignore middle chars ON (default)
ignore trailing chars ON (default)
Ignore numeric filenames (default ON)
i.e. 10000.JPG and 1.GIF will be ignored.
Ignore WINDOWS crippled Filenames (~) (default OFF)
Windows 95 cripple long Filenames to 8.3 so older Programms can use
this files.
i.e. VERYNICE09.JPG will be VERYNI~3.jpg (for example)
Ignore UPPERCASE subjects (default OFF)
if an subject has only uppercase letters (without filename), the
bin will be ignored.
GROUPS (default 4 Female Bin Groups)
------
add all your newsgrous, that you want to search through.
One Newsgroup, one line.
add a Server
Create a new serverpage with the default values.
You only must add the newsserver-id (i.e. NEWS.SERVER.MY
or 192.168.100.1)
AND NOW ?
=========
Are you connected to your provider or LAN ? Okay.
NEWS/Server
select one or more server. jepp, this will work.(i've tested it
with 28 different newsservers at once).
Press the right mouse-button and then connect
Never try to edit the .DAT or .GTB Files, while GETHBI is running
!!! NEVER !!!
NEWS/Download/Start
Starts the downloads, if AutoDownload ist off
I SEE FILES, I SEE FILES !!!
============================
Okay, okay, no trouble. This is okay.
If you have AutoDownload ON, 4 downloadthreads (or more/less if you
have changed it), will try to be faster than one (or more) netcallthread.
