PBmore (C) by Roger Sibert
What is PBmore you ask?
Being one of the first people to use Power Board I immediately found a
need for a program to create the files.bbs text file in a format that is
easy to work with, the result of this need is PBmore.
PBmore is a simple utility for use with any BBS that produces a files.bbs
file. It creates the files.bbs text file that contains all the files
available for download. PBmore can be used on any BBS that uses the standard
setup for files.bbs.
What do I have to gain by registering PBmore?
If you register PBmore you will all of the following:
1. The latest version of PBmore mailed to you on your choice of disk.
2. Access to the latest registered version of PBmore on my BBS.
3. The registered version of PBmore doesn't have the registration add
in it.
4. The registered version of PBmore will put in as many lines of file
descriptions as you like.
5. The output header will have your'e BBS name as well as your name in
it.
6. The output header in the demo version will have problems if you
have more than 99 files in the directory
What is new about PBmore?
This is version 1.32 of PBmore, I found and fixed a bug that would
occasionally cause problems if you used the PBmore 2 or more times. Apperently
when I did some rework around version 1.0 I lost a line of code that fixed
this, well now it is back in. PBmore now creates a Header.ans and .asc that
contains the name of the BBS (if registered) and the total number of files that
can be found in the download area. This is a minor update to 1.31 barely even
deserving mentioning, but if I don't, I will forget about it. This version of
PBmore has a slighty different screening procedure, it is a lot easier to see
what you are doing.
How do I use PBmore?
To use PBmore, place PBmore in a directory that is in your path statement.
Next, go to the file directory you want and type in pbmore at the dos prompt.
The current version of PBmore does not use your old files.bbs, it will
add on to the old one.
What is coming next?
The next release of PBmore I hope to have the following:
1. It will allow you to enter the file descriptions with word wrap for
those files that you have a lot to talk about.
2. It will scan the original files.bbs file and only add files that
were not in the original.
What do I do to get my BBS software added to the direct support for PBmore?
Just mail me a list of files that your BBS software produces or reads in the
file area and I will add it in. Or you can upload the file to my BBS as listed
in the PBorder.frm.
What is included in this zip file.
1. Pbmore.exe - The program itself.
2. Pborder.frm - The registration form.
3. PBmore.doc - This documentation file.
4. History.doc - Revision history of PBmore.
PBmore is writen in Turbo C/C++ on an 80286 without a math coprocessor. Those
of you familiar with Turbo C/C++ know that occasionally you end up with machine
specific software. PBmore should run on any machine, it was tested on an
80286 and an 80386 sx with no problems. If it doesn't send a letter to the
following address:

or leave me a message on The Rest In Peace BBS at (203)-(449-0647) for me the
Sysop (aka J. Ripper).
