│ Purpose │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
DizProc is designed to build a GT FILES.BBS entry for a file from
a description held in a DIZ file. It works by checking the files
in the directory against those listed in the FILES.BBS. If a file
is not listed DizProc will check the relevant archive for either a
FILE_ID.DIZ or an file using the old SmartFA naming convention.
If neither file exists in the archive DizProc will add a standard
line with the following info:
File Name File Size File Date System Date
To use DizProc just point it at the directory you want it to check
by specifying the path on the command line:
i.e.
DizProc D:\HOTWARE
Would check my HOTWare directory, if no directory is given DIZProc
will check the current directory.
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Configuration File │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
The configuration file and all of it's components are completely
optional, If you don't want it you don't have to use it.
First the musts. The config file must be called DIZPROC.CNF and it
must reside in your GTPATH directory. Comments must be on separate
lines.
Now the optionals. The configuration file currently supports the
following options:
┌──────────┬─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Option │ Description │
├──────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ LINE= │ This allows you to choose between six line formats. │
│ │ They are: │
│ │ │
│ │ DEFAULT 1 File Name File Size System Date File Date │
│ │ 2 File Name │
│ │ 3 File Name File Size │
│ │ 4 File Name File Size System Date │
│ │ 5 File Name File Size File Date │
│ │ 6 File Name File Size File Date System Date │
│ │ │
│ │ The default is 1, if nothing is specified this format │
│ │ is used. To use a different option the line would be: │
│ │ │
│ │ LINE=3 │
│ │ │
│ │ Please note that there must be no spaces between the │
│ │ = sign and the option. │
│ │ │
├──────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ INDENT= │ The number of spaces the description is indented from │
│ │ the left margin before the |. │
│ │ │
│ │ For example: │
│ │ │
│ │ INDENT=12 │
│ │ │
│ │ would give something like this: │
│ │ │
│ │ DPROC101.ARJ 17,706 03/28/93 03/22/93 │
│ │ | DIZProcessor v1.01 from Bob Butcher │
│ │ | 050/059 - scans a directory and builds a │
│ │ | GT Power FILES.BBS entry from an │
│ │ | enclosed FILE_ID.DIZ or SmartFA format │
│ │ | DIZ file. Now supports ARC, ARJ, LHZ, │
│ │ | PAK and ZIP format files. │
├──────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ COMMA= │ This is a TRUE or FALSE Flag. If set to true the file │
│ │ size will be printed like this: │
│ │ │
│ │ DPROC101.ARJ 17,706 03/28/93 03/22/93 │
│ │ │
│ │ Otherwise it will written like this: │
│ │ │
│ │ DPROC101.ARJ 17706 03/28/93 03/22/93 │
├──────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ SPECIAL= │ OK this is for those of you who want to add the │
│ │ Download Counter [] to the file description. │
│ │ │
│ │ It is used like this: │
│ │ │
│ │ SPECIAL=[0] │
│ │ │
│ │ This would add [0] to the first line of the file │
│ │ description, the result would look something like: │
│ │ │
│ │ DPROC101.ARJ 17,706 03/28/93 03/22/93 │
│ │ | [0] DIZProcessor v1.01 from Bob Butcher │
│ │ | 050/059 - scans a directory and builds a │
│ │ | GT Power FILES.BBS entry from an │
│ │ | enclosed FILE_ID.DIZ or SmartFA format │
│ │ | DIZ file. Now supports ARC, ARJ, LHZ, │
│ │ | PAK and ZIP format files. │
